Where is the second Half ?

Arabic Support in Android 3.0 Honeycomb
It looks like official native support for Arabic finally comes to Android
See the snapshots at http://bit.ly/honeycomb-arabic

best luck pro ...

looking for this also...

Do I have to root?
I think you just need to add Arabic font after rooting your phone. I did not try this yet and I am new to android.
Or maybe using one of Arabic supported ROMs like Cynagon for example.
I hope anyone can help.. I am still looking for a solution for my nexus s.

I flashed latest build of cyanogen for nexus one yesterday and seems arabic is finally solved. letters are connected letters, right to left alignment in msgs.
It's CM7 build#35

It's now late November 2011. Any news of newer Arabic language stuff for droid phones?

I want to know about Arabic in droid too, bc my native lg for Uyghur. it's same to Arabic for use.

Noon keyboard
NOON KEYBOARD
WRITE ENGLISH GET ARABIC LIKE YAMLI BUT ON A KEYBOARD
Must have keyboard for all those who want to write arabic on android
Supports 2.1 and up
Cheers

Salam Aluikum everyone. Currently my sister's husband owns a htc sensation, and has been griping about reading Arabic on it. Now I COULD go and install cyanogen 7 on his sensation, as that has good Arabic support... but I personally don't want to do it as 1- I'm lazy, and 2- if something changes and he doesn't like it, guess who he's going to ***** at?
so are there any ways of displaying Arabic on his android correctly in everything? like texts, emails, and etc. The only thing I could think of was making him install Firefox as his browser, so he could read Arabic websites

COS DS Android 2.3.4 rom now supports all ASOP+CM languages and locals splited into 4 builds:
for arabic choose:
Build Langpack1:en_US ar_EG ar_IL ur_PK fa_IR bg_BG ca_ES cs_CZ da_DK de_AT de_CH de_DE de_LI el_GR en_AU
it has full support for arabic language...

How do I display/input Chinese?

I had thought WM could display Chinese characters natively (I guess I'm too used to the iPhone features). Are there language packs that I have to download or something?
Or is it like Nokia phones where I have to flash to a specific firmware first? (God I hope not).

Install korenchithai.cab that will display Chinese, Thai, Japanese & Korean. I have already & it works a treat

install ce star 2.8r3c. and your device will support Chinese cheers

I'm sorry but where do I find these cab files? Sorry I guess it's been a loong time since I used WM and I'm a complete noob when it comes to the WM platform now..

(Dutch) Language Settings baked in

Hi,
It's great to see the Nexus is already been rooted; great job!!! Would it be possible for you master chefs to bake in some more languages, especially Dutch? Don't really care about the system language, but it would come in handy with the onscreen keyboard...
The Nexus currently support very little languages en More Locale doesn't seem to work for me...

Search the forums.
1 - If only keaboard - install HTC_IME and adb shell -> edit /data/data/htc.ime.android.htcime/shared_prefs/com.* and change number of keyboard to dutch (search for correct, 9=swedish)
2 - Install More Locale

- Install morelocale 2
- Install better keyboard
- install language pack for better keyboard
- set language to dutch in morelocale
- Enable better keyboard in setting
- Use long press in text input field to switch to better keyboard keyboard
- Enjoy dutch corrector
Werkt prima

The HTC_IME doesn't seem to be working for me (I didn't on my G1 as well), but better keyboard does the job!
Would it be possible in future ROM's to include additional languages or is a official release in Dutch needed?

I thinking on importing the Nexus One from US to The Netherlands soon. This because our provider "Vodafone" does not mention a definitive release date... only that they will release the nexus one "later this year".
By importing the Nexus One I hope that I can change the language of T9 of the keyboard to dutch so it suggests dutch words. Is this possible? Are the dutch language files already baked into the Nexus One stock ROM?
What do you guys suggest me to do? Wait for official release or import it from US and install additional language (if required)?
Thanks!

Flash it with the Cyanogen ROM (or another based on the AOSP) then that includes dutch (& many more).
Original ROM only supports english en some other ones but no dutch

How to get Dutch is explained in different thread
See thread 624416 (sorry, can't post links)

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)

[Q] I5800XXJPF Languages

Hey can anwayone tell me whether the I5800XXJPF firmware version supports Chinese?
I bought my phone in China and am currently learning Chinese so I need it to support this, but I desperately what to update to a 2.2 FROYO firmware so that I can move apps to the SD card.
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?)
