I am aware of the posts you mentioned, what I am seeking is localization of system menus which is not addressed at the work in the links you provided.
If it was easy like you think Ayman Elsanad wont keep it , if you are looking to make the menu Arabic it will be great to get result , but i don't think is easy to do something like that
People are building locale information for their native languages that are not included in the system. so it can be done
i hope u can do it and u will inshallah
if you apply all locale you will see some languages dose not change menu as arabic local, thats mean which locale change the whole system its already supported by android not from locale app.

Hey all,
I was just wondering if there is a way to allow HD2 to show messages (sms/email/websites) with languages other than English (e.g. Arabic)
Is it possible to show different languages WITHOUT changing the GUI language of the phone ?
Is it possible to add an option to switch between keyboards of different languages (keyboard characters) ?
I heard that we should wait until HTC releases such software, but im not sure if this is correct, can anyone confirm this ?
Thank you very much
I read this topic ; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401966
But that changes the language of the GUI, I only want the phone to "read" a different language. How can I do that ?
Is it possible to add another locale to the Atrix?
I would like to have a German Android experience on my phone.
Thanks
Nobody?
Would be really nice or at least to force installed apps to use the German language if possible.
What about editing the build.prop system file?
Afaik, the system locale is part of the ROM. You cannot simply edit build.prop, if the menus and labels loaded in the ROM do not include your locale. This is different for apps - those package their locales, and would convert easily.
I think you will need to wait until somebody comes out with a ROM that includes your locale of choice. And/or wait until Atrix comes out in Germany, and a recovery ROM/tool for Germany is available. (Possibly from Moto website, but I would not count on it.)
Hi all just for anyone that is interested and didn't know you can change your locale using MoreLocale2 app from market. It allows you to make your own local that is specific for you.
Hope flash english to chinese.Anyone can offer a guide about how to do this?
Thanks in advance!

It's quite easy, but it depends on the ROM you are using. Some ROMs support specific languages (locales). To change the locale go to phone's "Settings" app. Tap on "Locale and text" entry and then tap on "Select locale" entry. Select your desired locale and reboot the device.
Sadly I have not seen Chinese locale in SG3 ROMs (probably because I was never looking for it). There is Korean locale in most of SG3 ROMs. Try flashing a couple of stock ROMs to see if they have Chinese locale or wait if someone replies which ROM is he using to get Chinese locale...

Thank you all the same……
Maybe my description is not clear enough ,I mean how to make the ROM support chinese by modifing some files of the ROM.
My english is not good enough,hope you can understand……

Oh, that's another matter...This would include translation of the corresponding files in the framework, and the OS itself. All .apk(s) need to be translated, which considers decompiling and the recompiling the whole .apk, hunting down the GUI .xml(s), adding the translation and so on...Isn't there Chinese Android translation/localization?
...and I forgot one very important thing, the Chinese fonts and grammar! This can cause many compatibility issues. As I understand, Chinese characters cannot be translated respectively from Alphabetical characters. This would involve coding/writing a new/separate module for decoding and encoding Chinese characters. If Chinese is similar to Korean, this is the place to start. Word prediction and autocerrect software would have to be written also - for the keyboard, new keyboard layout etc...A lot of work (assuming there is no Chinese localization for Android).

Thx a lot.
There are people who do the translation work on the Internet.But they are not able to turn every ROM to chinese version,especially when i find a ROM which i like from xda. I think i should try to find out how they do the work and learn it……
Opened this subject so gave the signal is ignored by most developers of Arabic that deal with more people of the Middle East, and I want to interact with me in this subject seriously. And put several questions to be answered.
Do you add the Arabic language difficulties programming? Why, if the French and English, Chinese and others is not difficult.
I tried hard to integrate localization of multiple sources to multiple copies. I find sometimes accepted and sometimes the system fails and re-install it again
I know I am a user and not a developer but I get the tire on the front of an Arab of the new system and new versions by developers. I feel so sad that we Arabs are not accepted when the developers and the Arabic language neglected in the margin
Thank you and please consider the issue seriously.
Its most likely too much hassle for a western dev to even bother attempting to incorporate the language since it uses right to left instead of left to right and would need more modification to rom maybe.
Remember devs do this because they enjoy it, not because they are trying to serve you or others. If you really want Arabic language try a Arabic forum or find a Arabic dev or user that can do it for you.
By the way , use proper topic titles that describe the topic. Your title is not descriptive.
1st: thnx2u
i want all developers Join to this thread
Yes, I am with you says you are right.
But there are some manner of languages such as Arabic and Hebrew which are written from right to left, we find that developers are added and the Arab is not added.
I, for my system (NDT SENSE3.0 PYRAMID BASED V6.0) I was impressed by being fast and no problems it has tried repeatedly to converting it into Arabic, but was re-installed the system fails once again tried several copies of Arabization Arabization not notice that I mean that it is a separate unincorporated with the system and thus was forced to do several attempts so that I can correct that this localization is very boring not notice it
If you have a solution please kindly give me the link so that I can use that version and thank you

Go through the SD forums and search for Boxmax. I don't know what developers' views are on this, but perhaps you could contact him via PM and ask how to do this. If you are willing to use SD builds loads of his have Arabic RTL support.
Exactly this version of an Arab, but not required I use the offline version (NDT SENSE3.0 PYRAMID BASED V6.0) by a NAND Magdrl
Phone note 4 sm-n910s I need to add Arabic or Rom phone to sm-n910c I need a free site with all paid
Hello!
Just set your ROM language to Arabic in the phone settings:
Open settings -> Go to language -> Select Arabic
Mobile is Korean and has no Arabic language
Mobile is Korean and has no Arabic language
I'm pretty sure it has to have Arabic language pre-installed. I've never, and I mean never, heard an android device not to have other selectable languages pre-installed or that one specific is missing.
Did you look properly? Maybe you just missed it by not looking properly.
The Korean phones are properly considered their own rheumatism does not support Arabic
Hm, didn't know that.
After a little of research I found this app on the Google Play Store. Maybe this helps you out.
The only problem about this: it needs root access or the user to set the required permissions "manually" via adb.
I think it's worth giving a try if you're able to do it via root or adb.
If that doesn't help you out, I'm out of ideas. Sorry.
Thanks
