I'm not just talking about language input. I want to know if I can get Chinese show for menus, settings, etc.
I'm new to this device, but I'm assuming the answer is yes. Perhaps not as an official release, but there's Chinese versions of everything out there.

Yes, both traditional and simplified Mandarin are available.

From what I understood back before ICS there was no way to add another input language dictionary to an already compiled version of android on a phone. So most keyboards with multilingual support have separate language packs which can be downloaded optionally. However, this means you had to choose to use a keyboard other than the built in Android keyboard.
Now that ICS is out I flashed it on my Nexus S and noticed there are add-on dictionaries in the Language & input setting in Android Keyboard under "Keyboard & Input Methods" (click the 3 sliders to your right) and then towards the bottom under "Text correction" clicking on add-on dictionaries brings up a page with all available. Some are installed and some can be installed. Unfortunately none with the language I want.
So My question is, how do I add another add-on dictionary and has this issue been fixed in the new Android ICS 4.0?
Here is some additional info I found over the months of FroYo and GB input language dictionary issue:

Here is the exact keyboard but with some additional language packs which, unlike Google's, can be added later:

This is very interesting for me too. I don't see Norwegian in the list, but I'm hoping once the Galaxy Nexus is released in Norway, the add-on dictionary will pop up in that list
I have a UK Galaxy Nexus, but this would also be interesting for everyone on custom roms who would like to use the standard keyboard and who are not writing in english.
+1 for this message.
Portuguese appears on the list, but there's no dictionary available for download.
+1 for this. I have the same problem on my Galaxy Nexus. There is a refresh button on the dictionary list so maybe Google will eventually add it but nothing so far.
Wait. So Android 4.0, the newest bestest Android version ever...
Is just for English users. Seriously?
I just thought/assumed it was a shortcoming in the current experimental builds I was running. This makes me seriously reconsider putting money into the Galaxy Nexus.

NO.
Currently the system KEYBOARD have: english, Cestina, Nederlands, Francais, Deutsch, Italiano, Russian and Espanol.
and we're awaiting more to come as it checks online for more dictionaries downloads.
But is it going to be possible to set the phone language to English, but set the language for spelling correction to Dutch? I know you can set the keyboard language to Dutch and install the Dutch dictionary but that only show correction suggestions in the bar above the keys and not if you touch the word. So now every Dutch word I type gets underlined even though I've set the keyboard language to Dutch. It doesn't do that if I set the system language to Dutch.

4.0.3 is supposed to be the "baseline" release of ICS, according to JBQ from Google.
The source is now available and so is some unofficial builds.
Has anyone checked them out to see if they include anything new in this regard?

Running aosp 41 which is great but nothing more other than what was already mentioned in add-on dictionaries. I assume it could be included in the ROM when compiling bu tthe developer has not answered my question on this yet. You could probably just compile the keyboard apk and replace the default. I know this was possible on GB because CyanogenMod 7 initially had about 100 dictionaries for the HeroC but sometime down the road it was cut out from the build to save space.
Is there any new news of how to add dictionary to Android ICS??
Bump.
Anyone solved this?
I've been trying to solve this weird problem since I started using android.. Not that i really miss the feature, but just because I can't stand it not being solved.
I use a USA (Verizon) droid 3 in the Netherlands. I used morelocale2 to set it to country: the Netherlands and language: English because by default I can only choose English and Spanish. With morelocale it works fine.
When I press the mic key in my homescreen, it uses dutch voice recognition (which works flawlessly btw). But when I want to use this voice recognition in any other app, it says "voice dictation does not support current language". When I change the input language under multi-touch keyboard settings to English, it will English voice.
I don't understand why it says it doesn't support it!! It DOES, as I can use it in the homescreen without any problems!
Thanks
This has not been fixed in Jelly Bean either.
Text correction is just available in a few, select languages. Availability of languages doesn't seem very improved since ICS, but the list has gotten a little longer.
It seems absurd though, that we should not be able to add our own dictionaries.

But other phones in my country that are "native" European phones can use voice dictation in all apps.
For me it doesn't work, even though it works in my home screen. There must be something I can change..
Can't load English UK dictionary
I have an excellent 5.7" MT6589 device known as STAR or BLUEBO B6000. I can set the system language to English UK and select the additional English UK dictionary and it says it's downloading but it never seems to load and the keyboard spell checker thinks that every word is wrong. This seems to be an issue with a few of the available ROMs, mostly based on 4.1.1. Any suggestions.
Why doesn't the new Android update support Japanese language? It looks like it has a lot of other languages that it supports. I mean even the iphone supports it. Now I'm left to look up on google how to install language support for my s4.

If it's not under the normal language settings, I'd contact your phone operator/the place where you bought it. Given that it's Spanish you shouldn't be the only one with this problem.
EDIT: actually, I just googled a bit and apparently the really ship it without Spanish? If that really is the case and you absolutely need the phone in Spanish you might need to root it and use another rom (phone-software). Check the S3 forums on xda, ask around there what other people did to solve the issue.
Thanks
Thanks. Yeah. It sucks that most Samsung phones in Canada only have 3/4 language choices.
Inglish, French and Korean. Question......if i change the room, can i use stock rooms from other carriers that are similar models as my phone?
Hi,
On my old phone I always used to type with the Google Keyboard. Mostly switching between English and Dutch with the button next to the space bar.
Now, on my Honor 7, I don't have the option to select English when choosing languages.
I can only choose either "Use system language" OR one or more "Active input methods" but that last one does not include English.
Anybody with the same issue or a solution for this?
Related but not such a big issue. My layout should be azerty but is now qwerty.
Thanks in advance

Use swype keyboard, it's far better and you can set any language, even two of them.
Isn´t the original Huawei standard keyboard actually a Swype version?

I have the same issue and don't want to use the swipe keyboard. I can only select Dutch or English, not both at the same time and then switch via the space bar.
Send from my Honor 7 using the free xda app.
You can select both languages and switch them with the space bar.

The strange thing is, when I choose my local language, I can choose any additional language, but not English...
I used this keyboard before on other phones, no issues there.

Check thoroughly through all language settings, there is a ton of them and somewhere you have even Chinese as a second language preset. I adjusted all settings and I can select both languages as you can see on attached pictures.
Similar problem
I have got Honor 7 just couple of days ago but have already noticed that Google Keyboard is missing a lot of layouts, especially the one I really appreciated - Uzbek. I have had Galaxy S4 before and installed Google Keyboard from Play Store and it has much more layouts available.
Anyone knows if there is any way to uninstall preinstalled Google Keyboard from Honor 7 and reinstall it from Play Store?

You simply must root your phone, remove google keyboard from system (make sure to install a keyboard app before you do so) then reinstall it.
Or try updating the app if possible

Yeah, I came to the same conclusion. I wrote to Huawei support their reply is the standard "If the language is not available on the Google keyboard settings then I'm afraid there's no support for that language"

Updating didn't help. I have the latest version (5.1.23.127065177-arm64-v8a) according to Play Store.

@Jixop Go to Language & Input settings, you'll have options there to enable various languages.

I was able to solve this! I upgraded to Android 6 and was able to disable the preinstalled Google Keyboard. Then I installed its clone from an .apk and then I have finally found Uzbek layout!
