Allright, I recently got my hands on a cheap mt6572 phone and I intended to give it as a gift, but it only has english and some Asian languages available in the settings menu, and since the person I was going to give this phone to doesn't speak english or any sort of chinese-like language, I'd like to know if it is possible to add other languages to the android(4.2.2) running on this phone. Considering that those apps on the store that supposedly add languages have already been tested and don't seem to work.

Hi. No way, without recompile system firmware.
"The settings app just shows you all of the locales that are available in the platform resources. Adding strings for a new locale should automatically have those shown in settings. You tell the build system which locale resources to include when it does the build... unfortunately I can't help you on that part, but maybe someone else can."

Oh well. Sounds like trouble considering that the phone does not feature proper recovery (like CWM) for restoring everything in case something goes wrong =/
Anyway, if you could PM me the link I'll do some risk analysis XD

Japanese ROM is exhibited.
It is not perfected.
There are some in which Japanese MUI does not exist.
However, since the newest Japanese ROM did not exist, it made.
I am thankful to people of Da_G and others who offered Ervius Kitchen.
(My English is created with translation software. It is very cheaper and shameful.)
-The already known bug
1. The tab of a contact never becomes "#abc" and "アカサタナ."
If someone is known, please teach me a method.
2. Since it is Japanese almost, the portion in which MUI does not exist is English.
3. Since there is "no volume icon" in the expansion icon which will come out if a start menu is clicked, a white Windows flag is displayed.
SMS has installed neither.
If Softbank needs SMS, please carry out additional installation of the "SoftBankMMS_v093.cab."
open connection should carry out instrumental of the above "MMS ...", or should put in "Softbank Connection.cab."
X Although it is written as 05HT, since open connection etc. is not made, I think that Docomo is also possible.
日本語ROMを公開しますが、完璧ではありませんので自己責任でご利用ください。
■既知のバグ等
1. 連絡先のタブが、どうしても「#abc」「アカサタナ」にならない。だれか知ってたら方法を教えてください。
2. Touch FLO 3D 2.1 (Manilla)の予定表のメニューの「あたらしい予定」が「あたらしいゲーム」になっている。これ、MUI言語ファイルの翻訳ミスみたい。
3. ほぼ日本語なので、MUIが存在しない部分は英語です。
4.スタートメニューをクリックするとでる拡大アイコンに「音量」がないので白いウィンドウズマークが表示される。
いずれも、SMSはインストしてません。
ソフトバンクの方は、SMSが必要ならば「SoftBankMMS_v093.cab」を、追加インストールしてみてください。
open接続は前記の「MMS...」をインストするか「Softbank Connection.cab」を入れてください。
X05HTとは書いてありますが、open接続等は行っていませんので、Docomoも可能と思います。

Thanks for your Japanese rom. I am a Japanese student, I am looking for Japanese 6.5.X rom for a long time. Hopefully, you will keep improving your rom like other great masters on this forum.
By the way, I wonder if this rom has sim lock and is supporting 2G. If not, I can use it on any countries with GSM network. Am I correct?
Once again. Thanks a lot. Keep up with your good work.
Hi, wiltonw, Thank you for downloading.
I am sorry that it is unripe ROM.
This ROM supports GSM.
However, it does not depend for a SIM lock on ROM.
You should visit the following links, in order to SIMUnlock.
http://raphael.htc-unlocks.com/
Olipro provides it.
He is also one of the star player of this site.
His technology can be trusted very much.
I wil try it, good for studying Japanese!
ほんとにどうもありがとうございました！！ m(_ _)m
Thanks! I have been looking for a method of getting Japanese working on my phone for a while now and all of the things that I have tried so far have only half worked. I look forward to trying your rom.

Regrettably I do not know it.
Ask South Koreans.
I wood love to know if there are availiable any other locales except English and Espaniol? And what about keyboard input languages, the same issue, only english?
I'm for example interested in Ukrainian locale and keyboard (or Russian). MAybe there is a way to get it?
For keyboard, try Gingerbread keyboard from the Market, and install the respective language. I believe they have Russian. I have Norwegian installed on mine. Hopefully that helps. As for the other part, I don't know of anything to help ya. Sorry.
Edit...
https://market.android.com/developer?pub=Steven+Lin&start=12&num=12
Tell me if that works for ya. It's a link to the guy who has the keyboard and the language pack for Russian. Page 2.
Thanks, I will try that.
And if I will flash custom rom (Alien for example), will I get more than just two (english and espaniol) locales?
Not on home base. And I don't recall Alien being any different. So I'm gonna have to say no. Unless someone makes a ROM with that option built in. I think you're gonna be stuck with those two language options.
That's not good at all ))))
Yeah. If you wanna tackle trying to make a ROM, there is a thread in here that has books you can download and learn how to do it and such. And make your own with whatever language you want, I'd assume.

It's the only way I can think of Bud.
Can you give me a link for those books? And other links for making a rom, if you know such.
Where in this rom 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_6-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf are localization language files? And how they can be added?
Can be taken localization files from HTC roms and added into this rom?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284998
That's the link. And you'd have to see if someone here who is a bit more familiar with rom's can answer that. I would assume you can use it as a base then try to pull the files and put them in. But don't quote me on that, cause I'm not totally sure. Hope that helps out some though.
I didn't have any problems with adding Russian keyboard for writing in photon. It was in 154.5 firmware and in latest too.

Yes it'avaliable, I was just inattentive.

There is one more question. Phone receives USSD incorectly. What can be wrong? And how to fix it?
For example when I want to check my balance, I send *#111# and receive empty massage.
First of all, thanks for this forum -- rooted my NT (first android device) yesterday using the instructions here and it's delightful.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had a solution or workaround for using multiple dictionaries?
I'd like to be able to read foreign language content using the instant lookup function, but it seems that this is not built into the nook (unbelievable). Being able to replace the default English-English dictionary would also be great. Although this is a feature on the Kindle, it isn't available on the Kindle for Android app (also unbelievable). I looked at other eReader software, but "dictionary support" seems to amount to ColorDict. I'd be more than happy to splash out for some quality dictionaries, but only if I can integrate them into the reader.
The only thing I've been able to find is this, a Russian language forum where the OP seems to have gone into the file system and manually replaced the stock dictionary. I'll gladly do that if it comes down to it but was wondering if there was a less tedious / more obvious way.

I tried to figure out how to change the language to German last night, but had no lucky at it. ("ro.sys.locale.language" is set to "de", as well as the country code is "DE" but yet nothing has changed.)
I think that the B&N Nook shows an incredible lack of foreign language support, and is basically I guess targeted as a "US only" device. This probably explains why the Out Of Box Experience only presents one with US timezones when it starts up. v_v
So frustrating/ridiculous! Yes, it's a "US device" but it's foolish of B&N to ignore the tens of millions of people in the US who speak or study other languages (Spanish speakers alone are pushing 30 million).
I hope the hack I mentioned in my original post works. Still waiting on my SD card to try it out.
Anyway, I posted on the B&N forums about this:
bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com/t5/NOOK-Tablet-Ideas-Suggestions/Bilingual-amp-3rd-Party-Dictionary-Support/idi-p/1262799
If anyone agrees please click the laurel leaf icon so that this issue can (maybe) get some attention.
I agree... it actually upsets me quite often that US companies typically completely ignore other languages within the US.
Apple? First thing it asks me is "what language do you want to use?" They built that flexibility in from the start. On Windows? You buy the English version, and you're stuck with English (yes, Vista and later, you can download language packs after). So, then end up having to customize and sell different copies of the OS to every different market.
OSX: we build one binary, and hey, look it works.
Windows: we have to build a different binary for every different language, and oh, some of them might not work, because English is treated specially from all of the other languages.

My personal workaround for the time being --
I downloaded the German version of Kindle for Android, which comes with a built-in monolingual Duden dictionary. (Fortunately my German is strong enough for this to work. Quite useless for other languages/ability levels though.)
The downloaded dictionary appears to be visible in the file system with *.mpb and *.prc file extensions. I wonder if it would be possible simply to manually swap them out with a dictionary in the same format?
Install coolreader and colordict, then downlowd whatever dictionaries you need. There are many dictionaries available online.
@wwmhf -- After reading your post I decided to dig a little deeper. I downloaded GoldenDict and then discovered lingvodics.com.
Okay, absolutely no more angst over this issue. Thanks!

Hello could you please update the title and add [resolved] at the start.

Hi, try d/l an app from the market called more locale. Don't know if that suit your need of the dictionary thing, but definitely give your NT more locale to choose from (with most of the menus and some system apps name translated).
I'm on a rooted device with snowball mod in HK and wanted to play with the google voice search function for Cantonese and find no way of activating it since I can't choose any language apart from English US and UK (duh....)
After installing the more local app, I can select google voice to work with Cantonese search.
Perhaps Veronica can considering putting this under the NT Tips and Trick sticky for other poor souls that need an alternate locale.

Hey pal... I´m thinking about buying a Nook Touch. It´s cheaper and more beautiful than eReaders available in Germany. Nonetheless, I´m Brazilian - neither English nor German is my native language. I would like to have this Duden Dictionary for German books and whatever the original platform has for the english language.
How could I do that? Would you make a tutorial step-by-step for me? I´m totally rookie on these issues.
Thanks!
Hi,
Hope there's someone out here that can help me out.
I'm trying to use ICS voice recognition on my SGII. It has nice recognition, but I can't seem to enter any punctuation at all. It works ok with English, but in Spanish, whenever I say "punto", "coma", "signo de interrogación", etc. it just writes that down instead of the actual punctuation.
Does anyone know why is that or if there's a solution? I can't believe Google released Spanish voice typing without addressing this issue. I've checked the Android OS support page (for Nexus devices) and it just says I need to say those words, but it doesn't work.
Very frustrating. :crying:

Well ... You're not alone in there
I would like to post the links about the several issues reported on Android support ... but I'm not able to post links yet
Anyway if you go Android Project on Google , in Issues and search for "Punctuation" , you'll find the same issue for German / Italian / French.
Pretty much , punctuation is not working anywhere but English ...
Spanglish doesn't work?
Well, I have a Galaxy S III but I'm sure that this is the same problem...:/
I've tried to download the italian offline dictation package but, as spanish, It doesn't work for "question mark" or other punctuation command.
Now my question is: Is there any way to modify the multi-language dictation packages and add the punctuation dictation feature? Where is the right folder where are downloaded these package? I found the "/system/usr/srec" folder but I don't think it's the right one...There is only the "en-US" folder inside..
If someone with more experience in Modding or developing could help me would be fantastic...and I'm sure that a lot of people (all over the world.. ) would be very happy..
I'm sorry to bring up this old thread but this is still an issue for me, did you guys ever fixed this?

No, there is no fix and google is ignoring all the reported issues on code.google.com. Not a single answer from them since this was first reported on November 2012 (and this despite the fact the thousands of users have starred the different issues and commented on them).
Same issue is also affecting German / French and possibly other non-English languages.
I think we can safely assume they don't care and this will not get fixed anytime soon.

I noticed that my Nexus 4 with Android 5.1.1 is able to recognise a few punctuation commands in Italian. I will explore this further but 'punto' and 'nuovo paragrafo' do what the are expected to do.

Other than a custom rom or knowing how to decompile the apps and edit out the coding, probably not. Only possible easy solution that might or might not (probably not...) would be to make sure the locale is set to an English speaking country using something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bruce.setlocale
Thanks.
I am not intimidated my code as such (fluent in c++) but it'll take some time to understand android... Any idea which app I should look at? considering android is open source, I can probably patch the change in, create a replacement app and see if that works...

It's most likely either in something like a LocationProvider.apk (/system/apps) or the phone/dialer apk. If you are rooted, I'd try and free the LocationProvider,apk and see if that doesn't help. Try the easy stuff first. But I'd poke around in a thread like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891962 or something similar that deals with this idea on porting Chinese roms to English.
Or you could just be lazy and see if installing another Contact/Dialer app from the Play Store just circumvents the whole deal.
Already tried using a caller id app, its more of a hit and miss... I was wondering what would happen if I just happen to replace the apps you mentioned from those of stock android? does that make sense?
