Hi,
Background:
I bought a new Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 and I it came without my natural language.
So I downloaded MoreLocale 2 to change the language to whatever I want, but then I found out that MoreLocale 2 has no permissions.
After searching and reading about that I granted the application the permission it needed (via ADB), so I wouldn't need to root my phone.
And it works FINE.
But then I found out that I can't find my language on Samsung keyboard. And I know that even with phones from another region, you can find all supported languages in the keyboard.
So I guess that Samsung now restrict that by showing you only the languages that came with the phone.

Then I found this app: Language Enabler that, from what I understand, should show you all languages in the settings menu.
Now I have 2 questions:
1. Does this app show all languages in the keyboard too?
2. How can I launch this app without rooting my phone? Can I grant a permission like I did with MoreLocale 2?
Thank you very much in advance for everyone who'll try to help me.

I have not run into any Korean language related developers on this xda forums yet.
I was able to install and run Korean language with help from some of Korean HD2 users group forum,
but that was when I had Touch Pro 2 phone.
Now, I bought HD2 last week and have been trying to Koreanized(한글화) my HD2 with no success.
NO, I take it back. I was 75% successful on HD2 compares to Touch Pro 2.
I was using HD2 method on The Touch Pro 2 and got 99% working.
Only a few menu items are not in Korean and input method was excellent in both Korean and English.
I've posted results of Touch Pro 2 on this link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644091
Now, with my new HD2, most of bottom menus are unreadable (small squares) and input methods locks up in Korean and can't type English.
I've posted problems and only recomendations so far is to soft reset up to 3 times. I have soft reset many times. Still NO GO.
PHP:
This is one of Korean HD2 forum.http://www.mymits.net/zboard/zboard....page=2&no=5757
Perhaps, You'll have a better luck. (Good Luck )
Please post with any results you'll get. It would be greatly useful to everyone whom seeks for Koreanized (is this a word? )
How to install Korean language on HD2
Hi All,
I was gonna edit prior post, then it may get messy so here is another post.
I've tried installing Korean language on my HD2 for couple of days and finally made it happen. WooHoo
I was having troubles because I tried staying with roms I liked. Then I finally gave up and installed "Lost in Asia" rom.
The Lost in Asia rom is already multi-language (Eng. and Chinese). Therefore (I believe) it had necessary files to accept Korean installation.
After the installation of rom Lost in Asia, I've installed 1 to 6 of MyMits Korean installation steps then I've installed Moa key cab and WALA. All main menus are changed to Korean.
Let me see if I can help you guys out...I'm Korean myself and had been trying to install Korean language support on my hd2 t-mo US for awhile now. Now...I'm not sure exactly what you wanted...the ability to read Korean font and text in Korean font? Or...like the previous poster, are you trying to change the entire UI (menu's, etc) on your hd2 to complete Korean?
If that's the case you will probably have to install the lost in asia rom...I'm almost positive with other rom versions or stock US rom's it's just not possible, but don't quote me on that.
If you want the ability to read Korean font and message (type in Korean) go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=646728
Follow those steps...download and install the Korean font .cab => than install the moakey .cab
Than go into start menu -> settings -> personal -> input settings and change it to moakey. You can change the settings on moakey to your tastes as well.
Don't forget you can hold down the keyboard icon when typing to open up the message options screen and you can switch back and forth between the different message input methods on the fly.
I'm personally using the newest version of Energyrom April 1st, hspl2, T-Mo US w/ no issues.
One other thing to note, you can definitely read Korean fonts now...but when you put mp3's etc into media player or core player (whatever you use) alot of the Korean titles won't display properly...it's not because the K-language support isn't working, it's just that those programs need separate K-language support.
Hope this helps =_) 좋은 하루~!!
thnks all!!!!
So,
It seems like Samsung has introduced a new way for supporting languages on the Galaxy S3.
If you go inside the language settings you will see a nice bunch of languages.
But! Those are not all the available languages on the phone!
There are 5(!) more languages you can "unlock" in 2 ways.
The languages are:
Arabic (ar)
Farsi (fa)
Hebrew (iw)
Japanese (ja)
Thai (th)
Vietnamese (vi)
Chinese (zh)
The easy way to enable them is to download the application "morelocale2" and add to choose or add the language code you want.
With this method you will not see these languages in your language settings.
To enable these languages in the language setting of your phone, you will need to root it.
you can use Chainfires method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660918
The next step is to use root explorer or any other familiar application and go into /system/csc.
There is a file there named languages.xml.
If you open the file you will see a list of languages to display.
Just add your desired language code from the list above (in 2 places in the file) + country code, reboot, and then you will see that language in your language setting!
good luck!
Another way, you can flash XXLEF to enable some hidden languages. Change modem will change your languages support
It's not the modem, it's the CSC file

Ah ok! I forgot that I flashed ZS firmware
Well..i used the "morelocale2" method and i found them added in the "language settings" rebooted and they are still there, my rom is XXALE9
Back in the days of i9000 and Froyo, my country was only having Froyo 2.2 while many other countries were already having 2.2.1. What I did was decompiling all the 2.2 system apps, and implanting the languages into the 2.2.1, and thereby creating a genuine feeling of having a 2.2.1 rom with my area locale. Though not 100% fit, but at least it was better than using the Morelocale app.
Refer to this link for the details of how to do it.
Though we are talking about different phones and different Android system since then, but I believe the methodology is the same.
But there is no need to do that here, as the xml files are already inside the rom, just not enabled.
I gave the instruction on how to enable them

Yes, but how did you edit the Read Only language.xml file? That is the problem. I can edit it, but I can't save it.

You have to go to settings in ES Explorer and scroll down to root settings and also check "Mount File System". I was able to save the file after adding the codes for Chinese, but after I rebooted the phone, there still was no option for Chinese.
and what about the keyboard?
hi, i'm new here.
i added my language and it's working great.
but i still don't have it on the keyboard. what can i do?

thanks but i don't want to use an app for this.
i've already edited the language file so i do have my language as a display language.
i still don't have it as an input language in Samsung's default keyboard. there is a way to enable it?
I tried to added the languages to the CSC file and also tried the applications .. but nothing worked for me..
I have Sprint Samsung S3 FreeGS3 Rom (Stock rooted)
Of course my version of the GS3 phone is SPH-L170 but I don't see why that would be a problem?
Is there anyway to enable Arabic in the languages tap and the keyboard?
I use hackers keyboard and that works fine with Arabic but I want the stock one to have it as well.
Thank.
Still waiting for someone to help..
Use the morelocale2 app but it only changed the language in a couple of apps that's about it.
Hi,
How to Set Language in Samsung Galaxy S5 ?

Or just try a custom keyboard like Swiftkey/Swype etc etc from Play with lots of downloadable languages.
but, I'm talking about system language not keybord...

Oeps, sorry missread your post. Look for a possible language mod in the Themes and apps section or you might consider a custom rom with these languages included.

Google has an app called Locale and Languages that does what you want. But it hasn't been updated since 4.1. Likely it's left up to carriers to support now.
You imply that you're not using the international ROM, so search the custom ROM feature lists. That is where you are most likely to find extended language 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:

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.

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
