I have implemented language localization to an Android application.
My questions are:
I can't seem to test if the localization works, as Android doesn't seem to support Thai natively. Is this the case?
If a Thai font pack was installed on a phone using my App, would the "Locale.getDefault()...... code detect that font pack the same as any other natively supported language and act appropriately.
No similar questions that I can see answer my question.
Cheers
I just tried this on my stock HTC Sensation and Thai language works and has the fonts to display it properly. Try using a program called "morelocale2" (I have no affiliation with this app) in the Android Market. It will allow you to set your phone's language to any of the Android supported languages. It makes testing localization much easier.

I make an application for the Android operating system using the program Adobe flash and language Actionscript 3.0, but I have a problem in adding a text box type Editable, it does not support Arabic language.
I hope that you will find a solution to my problem.
Thank you
It is already very tough to show native language support (Hindi, Bengali, Urdu etc) in web browsers like Internet Explorer. But how do we give support in mobile browsers like opera mini, windows browser? If there is no possible way, then what can be possible alternatives?
for android , same html should work as on desktop web browsers when you talk about languages.
however , you might want to support multiple screens to make it look well no matter what is the screen of the device :

and also read some nice tips:

i think that the same hold for windows phone and iphone . all have about the same standard about languages.
I am looking for an app or any library (ready to use) for my smartphone (HTC Desire S with 2.3.5 android, sense 3.0 and NOT deodexed) whici supports arabic language and solves the problem of 'disconnected' letters. I've tried to use some arabic reader app on android market but they didn't solve the issue. I'm not a programmer and I do not know how to change/create jar libraries for it.
Does anybody know whether there's any update or news about it?!
Thanks.

If I use like "ROOT" to change system language , I may disable to continue SONY system guaranty.
So, is anyone can help with this problem?!
Is there any official support possibility for this problem.
Bidirectional text support is a very popular feature request but it is not yet supported in the base platform.
I'm interested in performing Japanese speech synthesis on Android. The guide on Android TTS says:
"The TTS engine that ships with the Android platform supports a number of languages: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish."
Yet I see an app that does Japanese TTS, and the APK is around 1 MB - not nearly enough for a standalone TTS library.
So the question is: does Android TTS support Japanese in principle (e. g. as downloadable resources)? What about Japanese phones?
Found three Japanese-capable third party engines. All available on the Market and paid.
SVOX Classic with SVOX Japanese Voice installed ($3)
AquesTalk ($2)
DTalker TTS ($12, but a free demo is available)
On Android 2.2, once you enable them in settings, they become available to third party apps.
On Android 1.6 to 2.1, you have to download a free utility called "TTS Services Extended", which basically backports the same, and you have to use its stub JAR instead of the SDK's TextToSpeech class. So it's all perfectly doable, if the customer is willing to spend some.
"SVOX Classic TTS" does a pretty good synthesis of Japanese (among other languages). It can be used by TTS-enabled apps. Works on my non-japanese HTC Desire.
