[Q] English os language change to Spanish Galaxy note

Hi Guys
I want to buy a galaxy note but before I do, I would like, if someone here could kindly tell me, if i buy the phone in Spain (I live here) will I be able to change the OS etc to the English Language (as I would prefer to use it in my native tongue)
thanks in advance
Ian

Since I can change my note's system language to Espanol here in Canada so I do believe that you can do the samething in Spain as well.

Yes you can. I got mine from Amazon.es, living in Madrid, and it came from Germany (so it was in German). As soon as you turn it on it asks you what language you want to put the phone in (default being German, but you just change language --> Spanish --> Done!). It's that easy.

Thanks guys
I like easy!
Ok just off to look at prices on the internet and order, it will make a well overdue upgrade to my HTC touch HD.
and will, thank goodness, stop my thoughts on buying a small tablet since I replaced my 15 inch laptop with the new 18.4 inch one.
But still need my HD with me until TomTom release their App for Android.
thanks

I thought that language packs are baked into the system. I have a German razr HD but prefer the english system settings over the German ones. I find the German expressions for some of the settings rather confusing. I'd be more concerned about the phone working properly on our phone bands...

I asked already seven sellers on eB*y for German Language Settings.
Four sellers answered "No", two sellers answered "Yes", one did not know for 100%.
So i am a bit confused if German Settings would work or not...
I am on T-Mobile. Should be work in Germany with Moto X.
Thanks

Guten tag,
I just checked it for you...indeed there are only 4 languages coming with the phone, English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. I am sure if you can install German package on it. But most apps today have German. Viel Glück!

Thanks for checking!
I found some apps (more local and set local) to change language to German - if it will be works on Moto X.
In case English will be also ok for me.
Most .apks i need i could install by myself...

From the point that the Moto X is currently only available in the americas, it makes sense that onle the 4 mentioned langauges are on the phone. On the other side, Android usually comes with all languages baked in (I have a ton of languages in my German 4.1.2). Considering that language packs are universal of an Android release, it should at least be possible to extract German from an interneational 4.2 rom and some how add it to the Moto Xs rom.
I'd love to check out the Moto X myself, but I already have a 4.7 inch razr HD with my self made Tasker skip setup. Actually I consider getting something bigger. i toyed around with a 6.2 inch Huawei Mate at a local store and currently I think it's too big. So the Galaxy Note 3 with a 5.5 inch screen could hit my sweet spot. i just have to wait until I can check it out locally.
But 1.5 years ago I thought that anything bigger than 4 inch was too big...
Sorry from drifting away from the topic...

[Q] How to restore japanese keyboard layout?'

Hi, I bought a tf701t and flashed sdbags's rooted stock, but i can't find japanese keyboard layout in the settings. A lot of the keys don't match now.
Also, i seem to have lost the ime. (Fskaren?)
I assumed that japan was included in the ww sku so i didn't bother to backup the original rom. (So dumb of me...)
Is there any way to restore japanese input?
Am i out of luck?
Thanks.

You are out of luck But in luck as I understand Japanese so can probably put it back in ONLY IF Asus released a Japanese 4.3 rom? Did they?
Otherwise use shimebi or some other such japanese ime input app form the store for now. fskaren might be avaiable too.

I called up Asus to ask about their roms, but all I got was attitude. :-/
So then I started looking for ime apps like you said, and I found this blog:
hxxp://blog2.k05.biz/2012/10/androidbluetoothusb.html
That led me to this app:
hxxps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.repy.android.FullKeyboard
I think it's even better than the stock ime! 日本語入力ばっちり！！
Thanks for your help!

Good stuff!! I'll start using it as well then as I can't stand that crappy fskaren keyboard

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. (REQUEST)

Hi,
This looks like a very helpful website and I have a tricky objective that I wondered if anyone here could help me with.
My wife bought a Note 4 (N910G) and she would really like to have a few options that aren't available on the stock Telstra firmware.
She is Japanese and would really like to have the stock dictionary from a Japanese note 4.
and also the Japanese language isn't available on the default N910G
Is this the place I can request help with things like this?
or is there a place I can request custom roms?
or is there a place I can learn to take bits and pieces from other firmwares?
I started a tutorial but I can'T find the firmware for the Japanese release note4.
and I don't know where to even start.
Is there even a way to just add more languages to the default phone language dictionary ?
I'm sorry if this isn't in the correct forum, I'm off to search a bit more.
on a side note I also have a note 4 N910U and that actually has the japanese language available by default but does not have English to Japanese dictionary by default.
The dictionary I am referring to is the one that pops up when you highlight things in the default samsung browser and such.
Thanks again for any help

Thanks for that suggestion.
I didn't know I could do that.
it helped change the default language, but I allready loaded a Rom that had Japanese enabled so that wasn't/isn't the problem I am trying to solve now.
All I want to be able to do now is highlight something and use the default samsung dictionary to look up words in Japanese and translate them both ways. eng-jp and jp-eng
also the auto correct is crazy bad.
if a word is typed in Japanese the suggested words are often wrong and if a mistake is made it doesn't fix it,
hard to explain but my wife really can't use this phone the way it is.
Is there a way to get the full Japanese firmware and flash it onto the n910g? or N910U?

I searched, but no luck. I think there is no way to flash offical japanes firm for 910g or 910u coz japan model has different model number. The other things i cant help you.

Yeh I can't even find the firmware for the Japanese models on sammobile..
its really annoying. I wish I had the time to learn how to take firmwares apart and take the bits and pieces from one and move them to something useful.
I started trying to learn but considering I rooted my first android less than 24 hours ago, its a bit daunting still.
maybe another region has the Full English to Japanese dictionary built in to the firmware?
Brazil has quite a large Japanese speaking community.
its not that I really need the dictionary. its that if I know the firmware has that dictionary built in then I know it can be used to type and auto correct properly.
also if this all doesn't work. do I have to mention that a phone has been rooted when I sell it?

I found the problem... in japan offical only just the note edge realised.
Try search sc-01G firmware, download it and extract/copy what you need i think its a working way coz the note edge has a very similar libs.
And yes when you sell your note 4 they see it rooted before, but in my country the rooted note 4 has the absolute similar price then non rooted.
Sorry my bad english its not my native language and i dont use so much.
Edit: s translator from galaxy app market has jap-eng and eng-jap.

thats a cool translator thanks. The awesome thing about the built in dictionary is that it doesn't use data when translating.
I appreciate your help, So I will get the note edge firmware and then
I'll have a look at that firmware but I have no clue how to extract the dictionary and files i need.
does anyone know What I need to extract and how to go about doing it?
seems like I'd have trouble figuring out where on the Edge firmware I would find what I want.
but I guess after that I could just copy it to the same place in the N910G firmware..
but then do I need to change some other string or something so it knows it is there?
I just know someone here could do this sort of thing before their morning coffee, please let them read this.

In the language settings, hit the 3 dots and choose "All languages" scroll down through the English spellings and see if it's not way down the list. I'll admit, I can't speak a bit of Greek but I see ελληνικά which is Greek to me. ?

Nothing comes to mind but I'd love to see a screenshot of what you're talking about if it's possible. If you're talking about apps then it's going to be up to the app developer to deal with that.
