I've noticed that on some roms I can set the language in the build.prop to language not available through the software menus, you may want to try this. It's just a 2 character language code "ro.product.locale.language=en" for english, change the en to pt for portugese etc etc... Sometimes you'll end up with 90% of the rom in one language (I notice a lot of times something like the status bar wont change language, or icons but everything else will)
for excessive caution, there's a way to copy the file to my computer?

you can pull it with adb "adb pull /system/build.prop"
I've met this "adb" in the past, but what is "adb"???

I believe it stands for "Android Device Bridge", it's just an app in the android sdk http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html Here is an older article that might be more informative http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/ also has a howto on installing adb.
If you don't have this tool and don't feel like installing it then you could always just use "Terminal Emulator" (from market) on your phone and pretend you're sitting at a computer.
Fire up the terminal
type "busybox cp /system/build.prop /sdcard/build.prop.bak" will copy the build.prop to your sdcard and rename it build.prop.bak.
What language are you looking for? There are a bunch of stock roms that you can flash to the xt860 in spanish etc that are very easy to flash.

actually the subject is not a language, it's localization bilingual-bidirectional issues
and i'm looking for the RTL (right to left) option.
i'm from the world's part how's writing in the opposite direction

hmm, ie hebrew. I'm not sure about the RTL (would you want this for english?)
You might be looking for a solution more along the lines of http://androidforums.com/i7500-all-things-root/112698-howto-hebrew-support-any-rom.html
I also found this link http://colincooper.net/?p=238 that lists the localization as well as language code, using the table as a reference if I wanted to set up to use "Hebrew, Israel (iw_IL)" I would edit 2 lines in my build.prop
ro.product.locale.language=iw
ro.product.locale.region=IL
This should (I think)give hebrew language and rtl if the locale is supported by the rom(according to the matrix it's been supported by android since 2.3, just depends on if the carrier included it or not.)
I would start with the build.prop edit for sure since it's easiest to do/undo.
basically the device is bell-canada,rooted and unlocked (i added a keyboard so write/read hebrew is available).
the main issue is when sms & contacts contains digits. in that case 100 (one hundred for example) appears like 001 and etc.
bty:
'GScript Lite' - No effect
"ro.product.locale.language=iw"
"ro.product.locale.region=IL"
- No effect
:-(
and i presume the big question is if 'bell-Canada rom' support RTL.....

AFAIK and can tell by the reading up I've done over the last day BIDI/RTL text should be supported in all android version 2.3+ or at least partial support. I could totally be wrong, I imagine the problem you're running into is with the bell rom. With the build.prop edits did your language at least change? If not you might want to retry the build.prop edit and do a factory reset after pushing the modded file/before booting.
Edit: I'll do some testing on my end and see if I can't come up with something for you although I did see a few huge threads on bidi text/hebrew and problems dealing with numbers, most of them were dated around early 2010 though so pre-gb.
Edit 2: Looking in /system/etc/supportedlocales.conf for the bell stock
Code:
# List of locales that are supported
#English
en_US
# Canada English
en_CA
#Spanish
es_US
# Canada French
fr_CA
# Brazil Portuguese
pt_BR
I imagine we'd have to find something with your locale/language listed here for proper language support.
I did manage to get this working on hashcodes ics
- go to System Settings
- Language & Input
- Change Language to Arabic or desired (at bottom of list)
- Click "Default (Us) - Android Keyboard" or whatever it says right under "Keyboard & Input Methods" then hit "Configure Input Methods" on the popup
- Click the settings button on the right side of "Android Keyboard"
- Click "Input Languages" at the top, uncheck "Use System Language" and select Arabic
- that's it! you now have Arabic on your phone.
For some reason with the system language set to arabic and the keyboard set to use the system language it would still display and produce english but easy fix as mentioned above. It looks like running Hashcodes ICS(or just any ics but that's what we have) is the only way to go (unless you absolutely must have camera vs language which Hashcode is working on as we speak and will hopefully be running in the next week or two). Numbers are re-rendered, not just reveresed all throughout the system and no extra downloads needed.

Hi everyone!
I have verizon moto x device (xt1060), with 4.4.2 android firmware (locked bootloader).
Is there any way the to add RTL (Right-To-Left) language to the system languages list? (like persian, hebrew, etc..)
When I use 3rd-party apps such as "morelocale 2", The result is incomplete: Most of the text remains in English, and also display problems related to the Right-To-Left thing.
I know that in xt1052 version (European), those languages are exist by default in the system languages list.
(It's even possible to install official firmware of this model on my device?)
Thanks!
Hello
Which firmware has Greek Display Language in Note 5 N910I?
Not sure if N910I will have Greek language. Best bet would be that the Turkish version of the phone might have it, though that is a N910C-model.
If you have root you can enable it yourself on any model: go to system/csc/language.xml. Open the xml in a text editor and add Greek (not sure about the language code but it might be 'el_GR') to 'Display' and/or 'Input' (Input is for writing Greek). Save and reboot and Greek should be enabled.
Australian Firmware has Greek Language and many more, thanks a lot
