Guys, girls
Don't know if anyone have posted this yet, but here it goes.
It seems that there are many languages preinstalled in the OS, just not activated. In a simple procedure, i changed my OS language and got the dictionary of my native language (
T9 norwegian if anyone wonders), and it works with everything from widgets, settings blablabla..
I found this trick at
http://www.swedroid.se/forum/showpost.php?p=18162&postcount=32
For those of you that don't understand swedish, it goes as follows:
Download CustomLocale.apk from here: http://yochai.dyndns.org:8888/android/apps/CustomLocale.apk
*Edit, uploaded to another mirror: HERE
Then copy it to your sdcard. Use a apk installer to install the program. Then launch the app, choose your language, and quit.
Voila
No rooting etc.
Some have responded that some of the languages dont work. This swedish guy didnt manage to get his sv_SE language to work. He then just manually entered a new locale "sv", and then it worked. Might happen for ur country aswell (?).
Edit: Languages that reportedly works _with_ keyboard layout:
Norwegian Bokmål: nb
Swedish: sv
Spanish: ES
cheers
Wow, I'm superinterested in this. I have a Dutch Hero and I wanted the Spanish Keyboard. Tiddylicious, can you confirm that this provides the HTC autocorrection dictionaries and not only the keyboard layout?
By the way, the link to the download seems to be down...
Norwegian autocorrection works. Don't know how it is for other languages sry, so i guess u just have to test.
Let me know
I've tried and it hasn't worked for me :-(
The phone OS indeed changed to Spanish. Every menu and option are now in Spanish, except what I wanted the keyboard language. This still lets me only chose among the default installed ones. Any help?
EDIT:
It worked!!! Thanks man! You don't imagine how grateful I'm for this. I've been using the keyboard until now without the prediction and correction features, such an improvement now.
There were two options for Spanish es_ES and ES only. The second one did the trick.
Does it work on Magic?
No idea, sorry. It worked for me on the Hero, don't know if it will on the Magic.
It does.
The application was created in July.
I`ve bought my english version Hero in Norway about 1 week ago. , My OS is in english, but my T9 is in norwegian . , Changed from the keyboard settings.
Will this change anything else? .
Biggest problem is that prediction with words containing æøå by only tapping "a" and" o" where it should be ( not holding them to slide to the correct letter) are only done in landscape . In portrait these word options dont come . Will this change?
Thanx.
Rui-Cruz:
The landscape problem with a o -> å æ is not solved by this. As I been told, this is reported to htc. Lets hope the major update will solve this. Quite annoying...
Stilghar: Good to hear! As the swedish guy reported, sometimes there are different options for same country region.
If people from other areas get the keyboard and the os to work, let me know, ill update the first post
Does anyone know who has developed Custom Locale.apk??
I want to ask that person whether it is possible to edit the language text, as it - at least in Danish - contains A LOT of mistranslations.
Thank you.

The CustomLocale changes only the locale. The individual applications come with support for other languages (or not), and they decide which language to display based on the locale setting. The CustomLocale.apk does not contain any translations by itself.
I'm still looking for German text input support. My english Hero only supports English, French, Italian, and Spanish keyboard languages. Changing the locale changes the names of the languages to the German equivalent (as expected), but does not add any languages to choose from.... Presumably the Hero sold in Germany supports German text input!?!
But there must be some xml files in the core system that specify the actual interface text... or am I wrong??

I tried the Greek language but didn't work...
Nice try though...
get the standard 2.73.405.5 ROM from modaco...that includes greek built in.
Got a HTC hero about 2 weeks ago, english language ofc. However i live in sweden, so im wondering: Will this change my whole phone into swedish? or just my T9 keyboard correction?
Because i rly dont want to have my phone in swedish, I prefer english on my electronics, feels much better IMO
It will change the entire OS, icluded the t9. If I understand u correctly, u want it in english, with swedish T9?

Exactly what i want .
I dont acculy know why I prefer english though.. its probably because I feel like it is more correct and easyer to understand in english, just makes more sence... but i guess, if it is as it says, that the other languages are already in the phone, its translated by HTC, so i should probably have nothing to worryabout anything being wrong...
I have en_GB locale. Tried russian(ru_RU), works! But, I want to have an english locale with english keyboard and also with russian keyboard. Ideas how to do it?

Is yours an official Hero ROM? If so how did you get Russian to work? I am with nofowuw on this, I prefer my electronic in English but English-transliterated Russian looks awful and takes more characters to boot. I checked around, but still can't seem to find any app to allow Cyrillic input (I can live w/o T9, just give me the damn keyboard).
I was wondering if it is possible to add new input language for the LG Keyboard. My 2x had macedonian(македонски) language as input but the 4x does not have one. If this is not possible is there any way to have 2 keyboard languages with auto correct and third one without since I use 3 different languages in a regular basis.
Thnx
Edit: Maybe the moderator can transfer the topic to the Q&A forum. Sorry for opening the thread in the wrong place

Use Bulgarian, you speak it anyways
morelocale fakes a new language for your phone.
Download any good keyboard from google play store . There many keyboards . And change them from phone setting .

I think that bulgarian will be problem, cause Macedonian language have more sophisticated letters, not originated from Russia and Greece.
Your letters originate where you, Macedonians, originate - Bulgaria.
Hello,
I am planning on buying a HTC 8X with Windows Phone 8. As a previous Windows Phone 7.8 user (I own the HTC Trophy), I have a question about the display and keyboard language on my new phone.
My question is, if the device I buy is the German Vodafone version can I add the Greek language (my native) even if it is not listed in the languages list?
Another question is, if there is no way to add Greek language as the display language, is there a way to add just the greek keyboard so that I can write greek?
Thank you in advance
all WP8 devices have all supported languages in WP8... no need and no possible to add additional language...

on unlocked/custom ROM Wp7 with Native Keyboard maybe?
with WP8 only in settings you can add available keyboards
My unlocked german Lumia 920 allows me to install the greek keyboard under Settings / Keyboard
As for UI language I can't tell as they decided to write language names in the UI selection in the countries letters and there's quite some that I can't read. How would you write "Greek" in greek?

Well, Greece in Greek is 'Ελλάδα' (Hellada) or sometimes 'Ἑλλάς' (Hellas).
Perhaps somebody can inform me if it's possible to install extra languages but retain a certain (fixed) keyboard lay-out.
That is to say, I tend to converse in English, Dutch and German all the time and sometimes in French. I would like to be able to install these dictionaries and use the languages interchangeably, but keeping all the same QWERTY-layout all the time.
In other words: when I write something in German, I want the keyboard to retain the US-style QWERTY-layout that in standard in the Netherlands, rather than the QWERTZ-layout that is standard in the German-speaking countries. Similarly, the keyboard shouldn't switch to AZERTY when writing something in French.
This piece of information I haven't been able to find out from the documentation on-line. Because utilities such as Swype and especially SwiftKey do not exist for Windows Phone (yet?) it's something I'd like to know before I make the plunge.
Hi to everyone... Im having a problem when I'm trying to convert to text from smart select.... It working great if the text is in English language but it messing up everything when it in Greek language... The real problem is that it working great with every other user here in Greece with Greek language except of me...
I don't know what it causing it... Anyone has any idea yo solve this problem?

I tried to extract the text and it came far worse than yours, which was expected. Other Greek users are they also using Note?
I also tried translate feature but have all languages except Greek as a source lang.

Yes they all using Note 9....
The translate in s pen shortcuts it only gives you the ability to translate any language to Greek but not Greek language to anything else
So after several tests i found out that the extract text from Greek language working great with Samsung internet browser and only from text selection and not text from a photo....Its not working from any other app, social media or any other browser like opera browser that im using
English language working great everywhere, even from photographs...
Another problem i found is the translate option from s pen shortcuts...
It can translate every language to Greek but can't translate Greek to any other language... That's annoying....
Bummer. Need Greek as source to
Any solution???
Hi, friends. Have Samsung S10 T-Mobile G973U (unlocked) . Please tell me in which firmware I can find the maximum number of languages of the system ( in the firmware from T-Mobile there is only English, Spanish, German, French and several Asian languages). I live in the USA, and bought a phone as a gift to my mother, she lives in Belarus (English is bad). Maybe in the unlocked version from Samsung there is multilanguage (namely Belarusian or Russian). I will thank you for your help! :angel:

I have T-Mobile S10e and when you go to the menu and tap Add Language, it will display "English, Spanish, German, French and several Asian languages" as you mentioned. Now tap 3 dots in the top right corner and select All Languages. It will display you list of other languages, but the phone will not be fully Russian language. Some items in the settings menu and most apps that have Russian language support, should work(including Google apps). Also after you select the new language, your phone will download some info for different apps, so they can display that language
See examples in attached screenshots

In order to get all languages properly displayed, you need another model of S10 that is for EU market. Model # would have an F instead of U
