Hi,
Bought my Nexus in Japan and all of the Google Play apps / content were of course in Japanese.
When I got back home I used the excellent guides on XDA to download a stock / legit (4.1.2) rom directly from Google and flashed the image, I did not touch the bootloader which is on 3.4.1 and the radio as I understand that is already in the stock image
Everything is great and Play content reflects my local South Africa store but there are still remnants of the Japanese FW such as....
- Google search defaults to .jp
- Google Play wants to update a language / keyboard Japanese app
Am I missing anything?
Region set to South Africa and language is English UK
Cannot find any other settings to change or maybe I should have flashed something else?
Thanks
Russ

You can look into flashing to the Korean firmware, I don't know the risks, so do so at your own risk. I think I read in one of these forums that it is compatible with the I9000 and that people will be looking to flash to it when FroYo comes out for it head of the I9000....again, look into it, but I won't know what to tell you about Japanese & how safe it is in the end.
I have the Korean firmware & handset and there is no native support for Japanese.
From the FAQ:
23.Can I get Asian language support in the European firmwares?
There is (as of now) no way to reintegrate Asian language support in the European firmwares. The possibility may exist in the future, however, there are currently no devs working on it. There is of course always the possibility to flash back to an Asian firmware. Note that this means that you cannot set the interface to Asian languages (except Korean). You can still receive and send text messages in chinese/japanes etc (you will only need a new keyboard that supports inputting characters)
Hi,
I've just flashed my tablet with the latest Euro release not even considering that fact that I would loose the NAV app included with the tablet.
Is it possible for someone to extract the app and data and post it somewhere for me please?
Thanks in advance.
My German tab did not even have Navigon Installed on it. Installed and it dl'd all Aus and NZ maps for free.

You could also try:
For everyone who wants to download it just set Market Enabler to custom value 50502 and it will pop up in your market.
If you did not back up the maps it is +/-200mb.

Can anyone help?
Thomas.
You tell me, I have no idea what language this is:
That's all I could find. There's no other language that could be chinese in locale setting.

Well on the second picture, two languages on top are not something even remotely exotic but two European languages Greek and Serbian. Third one does not look like chinese either.
Yeah, I was referring to the last language in the list. That was the only language that popped out as possible asian language, everything else I can recognize as something else
I don't know what you can do, download some Chinese locale setting from market (if they exist?)

Dear Mr. Sherwood,
Thank you for contacting Acer. We are pleased that you have selected a ACER product and give you information about your request.
Since Google has lost a lawsuit in Germany and may call his e-mail accounts only googlemail it is not possible to change the language.
If you want this device to use Android with an English version, unfortunately, the only way is the purchase of a British unit.
See here

about how to reflash your device with stock US firmware. (Which is the one that the devices sold in Greece come with)
Thanks huxflux2003 .. very helpful but I am a noobie... I am concerned to start messing with Kernal etc.. have we got to a stage where we can flash one stock file yet?...
I am willing to donate
Cheers
Paul
I was very disappointed about that too.
But there's a simple solution: Just use an app like "More Locale 2" (market.android.com/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale) an create a custom locale with language "en" and country "DE" (using GB or US made the market app crash occaionally, but you can try this anyway).
No rooting required.
(Almost) no side effects: The only thing that doesn't work is the "clear.fi" app. It tries to load a local file according to the locale, which it cannot find. But than again, I have no use for this app anyway and UPnPlay does the same.
Many thanks to out of box thinking.. after visiting market place the any locale app unlocked the language.. now purchased xda premium app to show some support

Hi,
For some resaon Languages are missing in S5 in the some SM-G900F/H in europ (system languages)
and SM-G900A /G900T /G900W8/ G900M /G900T1 etc.. the USA Deviecs...
Especially from the USA I understand that Samsung removed the Non-US languages.
Like Arabic and hebrew etc... there is anyway to Enable them without rooting and morelocal2 ?
Many of my Friends try with root and morelocal2 and it dosn't work at all (USA Deviecs).
Maybe A script that Give permission to CHANGE_CONFIGURATION for morelocal2 without root? (4.2+ need that)
Or there is a way to extract from the orignal Roms in different countries or my country?
with & without rooting:
How to Enable Languages in the S5 Keyboard & T9 dialer ?
thank you!

It's not practical to support all languages on a single firmware version. The most obvious answer would be searching to see if any carriers using your S5 model support the languages you want. Then install that firmware. If you live in an Arabic country or Israel that shouldn't be at all hard. If you live in an English speaking country, then your request is esoteric, but have a look and it may well be that they are included in the firmware from one carrier or another.
Second, see if there are any apps to add localized languages. Google used to maintain an Android language pack but it appears depreciated after 4.2. An app like Set language would at least direct apps to use the language you want, even if the UI was still English. So that would be a partial solution as well.
And have you done a good search of XDA? There may already be threads doing what you wish, but as you can appreciate this is not of interest to most people and no one has read every thread on XDA.
.
Thank you!
But,I think it must be a way to extract Languages from the orignal Roms in different countries,
Even NeatROM that has all the Languages and put it in USA Deviecs. (with or without root)
Even get the Keybord from his rom..
I just don't know how to do that

Sure there is. But that doesn't mean that it is easy to do or even that there is much interest in doing so. It is one of the reasons that I suggested you do a search of the Play Store and XDA - to find out if anyone has already repackaged or otherwise extended language support.
If you haven't done an exhaustive search, then you don't know yet if what you want is already available.
.
I try to find Languages Pack in S5 & Note 3 in XDA even in old Samsung fourm and no luck there,
Languages.XML don't work anymore becasue samsung remove the Languages. (as far as I know)
So no luck!
Update:
I found this: but what it does - (/dev/block/mmcblk0p12) ?

I have no idea what your question is.. since you didn't pose it.
The block address (path) points to the S5 EFS partition.

Using an unlocked SM-G900A (the ATT variant) in Brazil and everything works fine (even the 4G LTE).
The phone is rooted (towelroot) and tried a number of language enabler apps (Language Enabler, More Locale 2, etc.)
I want to change the phone to use Portuguese-Brazil.
I have search the forum extensively, but can't find anything how to install additional languages on this model. I found this thread, but it seems to have died out a month ago and other user reports errors trying to install a SM-G900M firmware on this S5 model.
