Hi, I found this thread that shows how to add languages to the international version of the GS3.. I tried them on my Sprint SPH-L710 but I couldn't get the language to show..
Can anybody help me add Arabic? I would like it for the language and to be for the GS3 keyboard as well..
I'm using hackers keyboard and able to type Arabic but not liking it as the GS3 keyboard.
Thanks.

[GUIDE] How to "add" 5 more languages to XX based stock roms

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/show....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!
Is no one able to help with this???

Hello all,
I have the Galaxy Nexus and when I was configuring it, there was no Arabic in the UI language list.
As far as I know that most developers confirmed that the new version of Android (ICS) will have the Arabic language (menu & options Arabized).
Is there any way to enable the Arabic language on Galaxy Nexus?
Thanks,
Try to use some app that will make locale manually like morelocale2, that's work great with hebrew, after that our device set to hebrew.

I tried it but it almost did nothing. Only numbers were arabized
What I know for sure is that Arabic is *fully* supported for reading and if you need writing download any Arabic keyboard. I didn't see anyone say it will support Arabic menu. This is to the best of my knowledge
Read the Locale section
http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-4.0.html
Hello, how are you?
It seems that it is possible to add news dictionaries on ICS for the built-in keyboard, but my language is not available for download.
(In Settings > Language & input > Android keyboard settings > Add-on dictionaries, My language is not available to download).
I noticed that the Galaxy Nexus available in my country does have a dictionary add-on for my language installed, thus I was wondering whether it is possible to hack it and install it on my phone.
I mean, now there is a Galaxy Nexus available in my country and It does have a dictionary for my language installed on the built-in keyboard, Is it possible to hack(find out where this dictionary is installed and copy it) to install it on another phone?
I appreciate any help you can give me
someone?

interested in Russian language ....
thank you
Hey guys, my dad bought the t700 few days ago, and its impossible to change the language to russian. He doesnt understands english, and the only available languages are english and different asian languages...
I have the lollipop Saudi ROM (only cause it has latest changelist) and it seems to have Russian. I would suspect all XXU ROM to have Russian. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the list though. Because it's not written in ascii, it is sorted below all other languages

Is flashing a different region the only way to get access to other languages? Would I be able to get Norwegian on US tablet using the Cellular South rom?
You could add the desired language to the language.xml under system/csc/ but you need to have root access for that. Display and input languages can be added/enabled. For Russian you would have to add ru_RU for example.
I'm using Locale Pro app. You'll need to follow the instruction they have when u try to change language. Worked for me. At some point u will need to put yr tablet into the development mode by tapping on the Build number seven times.
