Change/Install a new language not available on Tab S2? - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I recently bought the international version of the S2 (SM-T815y) but it does not have spanish as a language. This is my father's device and he lives in another state so Im looking for an easy or automated solution. Do you guys know how to install it or enable it?
Thanks a lot!

Install a ROM that has that language.
Usually European or UK roms will have it.

To install a new rom do I just do it trough Kies? Or will I have to use an external software? Thanks a lot!

Probably because all roms don't have every language pack. It adds a considerable size to have un-needed languages in the rom...

My P605 ITV have all the European languages, so Swedish is included. For Chinese, I don't know how is written in Chinese characters, maybe is the last one from the attached list?

Thanks, yes at bottom 中文 = chinese.
However I think you could flash another 605 rom (like the Italian-itv) to obtain your preferred language also if you bought it from others countries.

By the way, thank you for you help.
gonna let you know if now every think is really fine
Hello everyone,
The more I look on this forum and others, the more I am tempted by a flash to solve the problem I have :
I bought a SM-P605 in Hong Kong but the languages available on the device are only English and Chinese.:crying:
So I'm thinking of flashing the device with Odin and install the P605XXUBMJ9_P605OXXBMJ2_XEF firmware to get french language by default.
Has some else done it before me ? Did it work fine ?
I think it should be :good: but still, 5 questions torment me. If someone has answers, I'll be really thankful !
1) Does the 4G works fine after flashing ? Does the modem driver of the XEF ROM (P605XXUBMJ9_P605OXXBMJ2_XEF.zip ) is 100% compatible with my hardware purchased in Asia? How can I be sure? FYI my operator is Bouygues Telecom France.
2) How is it going after for updates ? Will I need to reflash everytime to update the tablet or the OTA update will still work normally ?
3) What about the flash counter ? I realized that the Knox counter would not be affected if I install an official version, you confirm ? But will the flash counter be affected even if it's a official ROM that I install ? And will it also cancel my warranty ? What impact will this flash have exactly on the device ?
4) Is it certain that my CSC will change for sure to French with a flash of my device for the P605XXUBMJ9_P605OXXBMJ2_XEF firmware ? Or is there a chance it won't change anyway ?
5) Last but not least, small detail I need to understand before I flash : what is that strange file " SS_DL.dll " which was in the zip package of the official rom for my tablet I downloaded SamMobile ? What should I do with it ? It must be loaded in Odin or elsewhere before flashing or should I just ignore it ?
Thank you in advance for your feedback. Sorry if those questions seem stupid to you...
And please should I be warned about other potential important problem not mentioned above before flashing ?
Of course I'll take my responsability but If you think of something else, please let me know...
I'm a newbe, ready to enter the Galaxy world, flash my first device and share with you my experience in return but I do not want to ruin everything because I can also just simply exchange my tablet for a multilingual one, even if it would cost me money...
Anyway, here is the descreption of my device. Thanx for your help !
Samsung Note 10.1 2014 P605 (32G - LTE) CSC : P605OLBBMJ2 (*#1234#)
Base Band (CP) : P605XXUBMJ4 - Kernel 3.4.0-1750146 - Build number JSS15J.P605XXUBMJ9 (AP) - Version Android : 4.3

[Q] Adding languages

Hi there,
i have purchased a Canadian version of the Galaxy TAB S 10.5 (16gb Wi-Fi only). Is there any possibility to add or unlock other languages (e.g. german) in system? All information i got, was about rooting the device and downloading an app like "more locale 2" or "language enabler". But i don't know if this works with the Galaxy TAB S. Are there any experiences with this device until now?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Maybe you could flash another region of Galaxy Tab S Rom with Odin... but it is at your own risk !
Some exemple here :

Chinese tablette, change/add language, flash to french?
Hi guys,
I'm on the same boat, I bought the device from China for my dad, but it only has Chinese/Korean/English language and a lot of stuff he doesn't want/need.
I would like to flash the tablet to French, but it seems the ROMS are country dependent, and I don't want to brick it just yet
What's my best option to get french on the device?
Any feedback on this will be appreciated!!

SM-T800C (China) is compatible with SM-T800
SM-T805C (China) NO (modem.bin, sboot.bin and system.img you can not flash through Odin). If you want, you can flash this firmware:

You'll have the European model with all the services of google working ..
Try to flash this latest firmware for Hong Kong. After the flash, you have to get into recovery mod and do the wipe reset factory.

I haven't. I am being careful. I am waiting on Bodiva to answer my question. Bodiva if you are seeing this can you please advise
I'm in the UK, bought my Tab S 10.5 from eGlobal Central UK and when it arrived the system software was in Chinese. I was able to change it ok to English and the model number is SM-T800. The Samsung internet app home page is the Samsung Hong Kong site. All Google apps are present and correct and there are no preinstalled Chinese apps. But I can't get Odin to recognise it in download mode. I've tried different cables, different usb sockets, I've even tried it on 2 pc's but no use. Odin does see it on Com port 9 when the tablet is booted up, but doesn't see it at all on the 2nd pc. It connects as an mtp device on both pc's ok.
So even though its an SM-T800 Tab S, it looks like I have no mission of rooting it as Odin doesn't work. I suppose I could return it as I wasn't told in advance that it would be a Chinese one I was buying.

Hi, I used the ROM Bodiva suggested. It works perfect !
The only thing that doesn't work is the 4g connection. it doesn't recognize the SIM card (null / null IMEI). I am still looking for a solution for that. But for the rest the ROM is OK, can easily be flashed through ODIN.

which odin do you use.... I use odin 3.07, but it seems odin 3.09 for galaxy s4 also recognizes the tablet, although I haven't confirmed it actually works. See if this works: go to your tablet's settings, tap general, tap "about device", then tap "build number" 7 times. Now you have developer options. Now tap that and check enable usb-debugging. If you have installed adb, open a command terminal with admin rights and type "adb reboot download" (without the quotationmarks) put your original samsung cable in the top-usb port on the back of your computer, open odin 3.07, and check the connection.

That will be difficult if not impossible until someone can change the bootloader, even in Hong Kong if you tell them you live on
the mainland, they will not sell you a 4G model as it will not work.
One strange thing is that with every ROM ever made, if you for example took the SamsungIME apk and moved it to another device
that was similar, it worked fine, it does not in this, a Hong Kong 805 IME will not even register or be recognized on the 805C. That
is enough to suspect that China does not want you to replace that keyboard, but why? keylogging perhaps.

[Q] Any hope to add Arabic language support?

Hey guys,
I recently upgraded my device to Lollipop via Kies then discovered that it has no support for Arabic language for menus either, only for input!
The only Lollipop version which is available for this model is USA.
I even tried installing official Russian rom (SER) for N900 series which has Arabic support but Odin stopped me with "Failed" message!
Now that my device has been rooted, is there any possible way to add compatible CSC file or something? (Language Enabler app didn't work)!
I'd really appreciate your help.
Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
Salaam
I've downgraded to a KitKat rom which has an Arabic support.
Thanks anyway!

Unfortunately this phone note 4 n910a at&t only you can install roms of this model in specific, try to install another rom different from this, it can be unusable. Even if you are in version 6.0.1, until now as far as I know there is no way to make it root.
If you are still in rom 5.0.1, make it temporary root I install language enable, maybe with that you let put the Polish language.
