Just read this on a swedish android forum called Swedroid.com.
Its a mod that a user named Sletmo has done, by modding the Google Now apk called velvet.apk. He has done so Google Now always uses English(US) instead of your language choice. So you can use ex Spanish, as your systemlanguage, and still can ask questions to Google Now and get the cards showing and a voice.
Follow the instructions;:
Note that the app requires Jellybean
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/22829424/Velvet.apk
1.The first Download the apk file above
2.The second Remount / system R / W, ADP remount
3.The third Push the apk to / system / app / Velvet.apk, adb push "Velvet.apk" "/ system / app / Velvet.apk"
4a. (Restart the phone) Never needed
4b. You must INSTALL the velvet.apk again, if you dont, you will not have any Google Search/Now at all..
After that it should work perfectly
Heres a link to the Official thread here on XDA.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803739
Big thanks to Sletmo.
You gotta be kiddin me, NO ONE OUT THERE THAT IS NOT AFRAID OF TESTING THIS?? It is working 100%.
Sue your self
does this app mean you can, speak to google voice in a different language, and still be able to have the cards come out?
or this this app mean you can have a different language, but when you speak english to it, you get your cards
Thank you for this but the reason you may have not gotten a response is because many of us are using English US as our system language anyways.
Also, this thread merely belongs in the Nexus S Apps and Themes section and not in the development section.
can someone Swedish peoples contact Sletmo to update his velvet.apk to latest google now?
thanks!

The screen shot is attached. Enjoy

Hi Updated the post with 1.60.36.8214 version Wine red mod - made by me. I have removed the languages leaving only English language in order to keep the size as small as possible. The actual screen shots will be posted later. I have attached two pics of the Keyboard layout used. Enjoy
thanks a lot man..
Effort is appreciated but
Code:
they've been posting all over the othe sub-forums about posting swype apks, specifically NOT to do so.

Maybe you can post a metamorph instead?
Sorry, I was not aware of that. Thanks for that kenshinta. The best part is I got swype apk from one of these forums at XDA. If it is against the policies of this forum, then I would request Admin or the moderators to delete the post.
Works perfectly on my Spica!
I was not able to install swype previously but now works lika a charm!
Works fine on my i5700. I think Swype currently is the best, and "user friendly" keyboard in android apps arsenal Yesterday HTC_IME - today Swype
Works well on my Spica, but, when I looked on swype forum, it was said that there is Serbian (latin) language, and in this app there's no serbian Any way of adding support for serbian? Tnx man

Hello there,
It seems to me that I need to root my N1 2.2 in order to get RTL languages readable. My question is that is there a way to do that without rooting? If no is it possible to only do it without *flash* my ROM just root access? Yes = How
I am not asking for a specific language as I need the answer for 3 oh my friends who needs Farsi, Arabic and Hebrew ..... Any thing please
RTL
The answer is both yes and no.
If you don't want to root you phone, there is an app (I wrote it ) called persian browser that you can see persian/arabic sites on it but only on Android 2.2.
if you want/can root your phone, the first this I can suggest is to root it without voiding your warranty (without unlocking the bootloader) it is a little hard to do that but it is possible, after that you don't need to flash a new rom and by adding the update for RTL languages (A project at google code called arabic android) you can fix RTL problem and they are keyboards on the market that you can get and use at least for arabic and persian. but you still need some tweaks, for example for persian you need to replace system fonts because one of the letters are not showing up correctly.
So, if you don't have time for these, just get my app it is just a temporary solution until android 3.0 came out.
Thanks for the reply but I believe your app only work with Farsi not all RTL languages however I like the idea of root but not void warranty Can I do that?????
So basically I have to change the font only and everything will work fine.
As for the Arabic one in Google code, I have no idea about Arabic but my Arab friend told me he has to flash it with custom ROM and has to pay 7 bucks for activation or something is that right?
RTL
yes, you need to flash, but it is not a ROM its just an update to some libs, and I didn't see any activation fee, maybe its for keyboard app or something.
refer to this post for rooting without unlocking bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710842
and yes, my app is for persian/arabic, maybe other people can write the same fix for other langs.
To make Arabic and Hebrew readable (in anything but Gmail's headers), you don't need anything. They're already readable in 2.2. You need something only if you're looking for RTL direction (alignment to the right) in messages, Gmail etc.
AnySoftKeyboard will allow typing them.
By the way, wrong section. This thread doesn't belong in Development, but in Q&A.
Rooting
Well, wondering around, found this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736271
and easy easy way to root your phone without voiding warranty and without cutting battery or do any phony stuff. I love this openness of Android that let people do this amazing things.

I already unlocked my bootloader but it seems interesting I will try it with one of them and hope I find a specific lib for each language to add it to their N1

Hi guys,
Maybe I missed something but after few searches I couldnt find an answer.
Is there any way to get Romanian language prediction in Swype?
Maybe a CSC change or.. install a different version of swype from another ROM..?
I have an idea but not sure about the correct way to follow.
Can someone give me a hint?
Thanks a bunch!
Hope this helps!
It has all languages!
Go to www//4shared//com/get/26YCldWS/Swype_160368214_HVGA.htm
P.S. Sorry moderators for violating rule (To prevent spam to the forums, ALL new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. After approximately eight posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thanks for understanding!) Had to help him
The file is gone. Any update?
Hey Cezar,
If you still need Romanian language support for your Android phone I can give you step-by-step instructions. Let me know.

Can I get the file even if I'm not Cezar? I need the Romanian dictionary. The auto-correct crap to pop Romanian words.
Install new Swype (even on phones with Swype preinstalled)
1. Go to http://beta.swype.com/ and register in order to download the latest beta. (it works just fine)
2. Although they caution that if you had Swype preinstalled this will not work, there is an elegant work around.
a. If this is your case (most Samsung phone do come with Swype preinstalled) you need to have your phone rooted and Titanium backup installed
b. Freeze the original, preinstalled version of Swype with TB and reboot the phone
3. Install the Swype installer you’ve got using the method suggested above and follow the instructions. Once installed, Android sees the new Swype as an update to the original version.
4. Go to Swype settings and download whatever dictionary you wish (including Romanian and many, many others) - this is actually the main (and I should say very important) difference between the stock / after-market versions of Swype - the first comes with only a few pre-installed dictionaries without the ability to expand, while the latter offers a lot more choices and the versatility of downloading/installing the language(s) of choice.
That’s it. It works like a charm and the Romanian dictionary is quite comprehensive – although it takes some practice in using the diacritics (you have to swipe through the “-“ sign for l-au, m-au, etc.)
Thank you very much. I was able to update & to install Romanian. It works pretty nice.
Can anyone tell me how to exclude some languages from Swype???
Not sure, but when I installed the latest Swype beta, I had the choice of either ALL languages or, English & Spanish. So if you only need English and Spanish, could be an option.

For what reason do you want to do so?
If you just want to exclude some languages from list, you can edit languages.lst and helplanguages.lst, into Swype.apk/assets/files/, put them back and sign apk.
If you want to reduce apk size, then it is more complicated.
1. Edit these 2 files.
2. Delete unnecessary language files from Swype.apk/assets/files/
3. Delete unnecessary keyboards from Swype.apk/assets/keyboards/
4. Delete unnecessary tutorials from Swype.apk/assets/tutorial
5. Make sure you didn't delete something wrong.
6. Sign apk.
...
7. PROFIT!

Ill copy paste it for you since I am such a nice guy...
NOTICE: If You did not create the ROM, KERNEL, FIX, MOD, APP, HACK, GUIDE, or if it's not a SOURCE CODE then it should go to Galaxy S i9000 General as it doesn't belong in Development
If your thread can be phrased as a question, it DEFINITELY doesn't belong in Development either.

Hi Guys,
ive started to translate MIUI to my own language norwegian,
i am using apktool to decode and compile the apk's
creating a new dic called values-no and place my own strings in there.
everything seems fine, i use root explorer to place my apk's in the system/app/ dic reboots my phone and absolutely nothing happends!
(I've even checked on settings -> system -> language & input settings.
i think i must be missing something crucial!
please help, i understand english well and have no problem with it really, but it would be cool to finnish it and make it happend.
I figured that my lang prefix must be wrong, stumbled upon it when i installed ubuntu yesterday.
Going to try 'nb-no' instead of 'no' tonight
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Nobody seems to care, but if someone should care for future referanse the name should be "values-nb"

No one may have responded, but don't take that as a sign that no one cares. Someone, somewhere, will eventually stumble upon this thread looking for an answer to something you already know. I always suggest to post a fix for a question you asked. It'll help someone out eventually.
hehe, yeah thats why i postet it too.
and a tips: if you are working on translating an apk, and your'e not sure wich prefix you should use on values-xx simply decode Vending.apk(Market)(or another apk you know to contain your language) go into \res\ and you will find a values-xx folder with your language.
Hi,
Manage to come across your post... Did you finally make it? I'm also translating miui for my phone, in my language, i tested translating the mms.apk. However i didn't seem to see the changes.
How do you add your language as a separate language in the settings menu? Cause what I'm doing is changing the /values which shows the changes, but what i really want to do is a separate /values-xx so that i can go back and forth to the default and my own language.
Hope you could help. Thanks in advance.
