Hello,
I am an Irish language enthusiast, and I would like to have the option to use Android in Irish.
Older Samsung phones had this ability, possibly others.
It's clear that Google is not going to add this to stock Android in the near future, so I'd like to do it myself!
How would I go about adding Irish as a language to Android?
I would be able to do the translation myself, I understand that this probably requires making a custom ROM
(I have no experience with making custom ROMs)
Could anyone explain the process of doing this to me, as I'd really love to try it out !
Thanks (I hope!)
Search "Language Enabler" on Play Store (Root Required)

Currently, you can "unhide" languages with root on a Sumsung device even without switching ROMs (root is still required). Search "Language Enabler" on Play Store.

You can also add languages by editing the APK .... and by creating a folder in apk/Res/values-id ..... where id is the language to add ... for example for english is vaules-en .... and add the file within string.xml with the translated strings ...

Good morning,
I want to localize some application, that the apps will use another language than the system default. I am a reverser, I found few tools like apktool but I think I am going too far. Is there any easy way to change specific application languages?
For example: I want the google navigation to speak in another language than my system default (Englsh). but to keep my system default (English).
Its not really matter but:
Android Version: 4.2.2 (JB)
I am not posting this question in any specific forum because it is general question for all the android devices
Hi all,
I'm setting up Moto E for my mom, and I am attempting to set my native language (Croatian) which doesn't seem to be officially supported (through Settings / Language & Input). So I installed MoreLocale 2 which can enable Croatian language for most of the UI, but unfortunately the Settings, Phone, People and Messages still remained in English. Any thoughts of how to translate these as well? These are kind of essential apps she'll need to use the phone and it'd be great if I could have those translated too. Interestingly she's also using an android tablet running 4.1 (Hisense Sero 7) and that one has everything properly translated without the need of any external app.
Any suggestions are much appreciated!
P.S. The phone was bought in the US (Global version, single sim) and is currently rooted if that's helpful (I looked at custom ROMs but most seem to have mobile data bugged so that'd create another problem).
same problem with Czech language
all custom roms for moto e until now have big essential issue - mobile data ... so I wish resolve this issue in reasonable time or add remained language from original kitkat source to stock moto e rom or advise what files and where I can translate for example from english to czech langugae ...

The only way is to decompile the apps and add languages, I tried several times but i think I am doing something wrong.
I have imported a Huawei Mediapad Honor X1 from China. I have managed to set it to English and installed all the Google apps i need (or think i need because every time i want to use something specific i learn that some hidden Google app is needed to do the trick).
Because i do not want to reset everything to English when i reset to factory default i hoped i could find a custom rom with English as it's standard language and the playstore installed etc.
I did some hefty reading in this forum to find several things.
A) there are custom ROMs but these are work in progress;
B) there are official ROMs;
C) After i update from the stock image the DPI will change so some apps will not work and the UI will look horrible.
So based on these findings (if they are correct) i have some further questions.
1) Are there 'finished' custom ROMs that i could use?
2) Are there official custom ROMs that have English as their default language, have playstore installed and have the original DPI
3) Currently i have Build number 7D-503LV100R001C233B002 and kernel version 3.0.8-01316-gb959b08. Is there a reason to upgrade from this version? From what version will the DPI change
4) I notice that it looks like the GPS is lacking connection time (i noticed my weather app doesn't change location when i am in another city). An app like GPS tester shows that my GPS does work. So i think it has something to do with automatically checking for changes.
Does anybody knows if this is a known problem?

You could try updating to B006 or B007, which don't mess with the DPI and are still 4.2.2. I don't recall which one made the DPI change but you can read acuratslan's threads/;posts.
Root it and install Xposed framework to suit your taste.
Hi All,
I wonder if any of you wonderful talented Android Guru's out there can help me with a ROM issue. I found an amazing rom for my device, however it's one developed a one man band Chinese fella... And of course, natural language is Chinese.
This, I believe I can change easily in Build.Prop file, however the Keyboard is also some Chinese App... cross between BingIme.apk and there was another App name on a different ROM. I want to make these ROMs clean / / pure English based....
Can you advice me how to do this please?? What Apps maybe needed? Do I have to sign the ZIP when finished or just exiting/saving the ZIP is fine...?? Also, can I delete Apps (or even an entire folder).
As I have had a go at this, however flashing the Zip resulted in an error... and failed to Flash!!!
Is there an App (either Desktop, or Android APK) that can make these changes, or package up my alterations after I flashed the Chinese rom...??
Thanks, Lister
Hello, My phone is in Android 11. I downloaded so many calendar apps. I realised using calendar in native language helps! As, I am a student. But I can't change the Google Calendar into Bengali without changing whole phone languge. I know that Android 13 has a feature called 'App Languages' . But Android 11 don't have this. Android 11 is the latest in my phone. So I am looking forward to change a specific app language. And I also want to change the time to my language only others English. Thanks!
Have you checked youtube tutorials?

This app has been tested on Android 10, 11 and 12.
-- It's important to read, read and read because the requirements are specific if you are rooted.
Any update on a solution?
