Recently the Google keyboard has activated suggestions for both of my selected languages. This is a real nuisance since the suggestions are a mess IMO. How can I disable it and go back to switching languages manually?

I was looking forward to using per-app languages with Android 13. However, my OnePlus 8T does not feature the necessary settings item for that on OxygenOS 13. Is it possible to set a different language with an adb shell command? adb shell settings get global settings_app_locale_opt_in_enabled returns null, so I'm not sure if it's even implemented at all. Smartphone is rooted with Magisk.

According to Swype's advanced tips page : > Switching languages: To switch between the two most recent languages, Swype from the Swype-key to the key with the language initials on it. Since I updated Swype, the language initials are on the space bar and this tip doesn't work any more. I can still switch languages by long-pressing the space bar but that's a hassle. What's the new quick way to change the language? Here's a screenshot of the keyboard as it looks like for me:

I have a keyboard problem with my Samsung Galaxy Alpha (SM-G850F, I know it's an old model, but it has significant sentimental value to me): after a crash, some keyboard languages disappeared and I am unable to reinstall them, the list of available languages doesn't even load: I saved the logcat when the "Failed to download language list" error appears, and there is an entry which says the version number is corrupted: It seems to try to read it from this hyperlink, which looks broken: https://redirect.client-wifi.com/login.html?redirect=samsungresources.visionobjects.com/13i92/latest.txt . However, the part after the equal sign still works, and the text file remains accessible. I have tried restarting the device and deleting the data of the Samsung Keyboard to no avail. I am not interested in third-party keyboards such as SwiftKey or GBoard, I just want the French Samsung keyboard I'm used to back. Samsung support has not been able to provide a solution, unfortunately, and the same question was also asked on XDA Forums (it seems some other people have the same problem), but so far, no luck either. Does anyone know what the https://redirect.client-wifi.com/login.html ? part of the URL is? Is it a local address? Is it just a case of Samsung fixing the redirection link? Alternatively, is there a way to download the Samsung language pack and install it myself? (Apologies if the question sounds basic, but I don't really have any knowledge in this area.)

How does Google TTS decide which voice to use? If a book is written in two or more languages, can TTS choose the language-voice pair (perhaps based on the information stored in a dictionary app or e-book)?

Having an issue with new Android phone where text messages written in Greek language are automatically put in capital letters. Using only Google Messages app and Gboard. Cache and data cleared for both. GBoard is correctly inputting text in lower case but this is changed when the message is sent. Is this a bug or is there a way to fix this?

My relative is currently using a OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G; he is visually handicapped and has enabled TalkBack on his phone to assist his daily use. Both System language and TalkBack language are set to Simplified Chinese, but after several minutes of use, the voice will speak in Chinese but with an American accent. It's quite hard to understand what the voice is saying due to the accent. I've tried looking around on various websites but am still unable to find any solution or explanation. Is there any fix or solution for this problem?

For some reason, I changed my keyboard to Greek, yet my password is in English. I am unable to enter the password to unlock the phone. I can't pair with Bluetooth without unlocking, and there is no option to change the language of the keyboard. The device is a Sony Xperia Z, Android 4.4, not rooted, and using the default keyboard, if it's relevant. Any help is greatly appreciated.

On my Android phone, when I go to Settings -> Language and Keyboard Settings -> Select Language, I see "Locale" as the title on the top row and see that only a few languages are listed. I suspect it's because of this "Locale" setting. Where can I change it so that all supported languages will be listed? Under Settings -> Language & Keyboard, I don't see a "Locale" option.

I've been using Google Voice Typing for quite some time as it's fast and convenient compared to typing on the phone keyboard. However, I speak multiple languages, and when I use the Google Voice software, if I enable different languages, the software is supposed to "auto detect" the language I speak, but it makes mistakes all the time. One way for me to get around this is to only select the language I want to speak in and deselect the other languages, but it gets tedious to do. There are a lot of languages that Google Voice Typing supports now and to search for the language I want to speak can be a bit of a pain when I need to reply to several messages in a short amount of time in different languages. My understanding is that there is no "long press" or a simple "language toggle" button for Google Voice Typing, but is there any way to set something like "favorite languages" so they can be displayed at the top so the languages are easier to find? I remember some of the older versions of Google Voice Typing would go by the keyboard language that's on, so as I switched the keyboard language, Google Voice Typing would only be picking up what I say in that language, which worked out much better for me. At the same time, I notice that when I don't have the best internet connection, it can take FOREVER for the Google Voice Typing to work. If I go offline (airplane mode, turn off data, etc.) then it works great because Google Voice Typing goes to offline mode. Is there any way to force the phone to always be in offline mode for Google Voice Typing? Since we can download each diction library offline already, I would hope there's a way or some kind of code that can force the software to use the offline library rather than trying to connect to the server every time.

I am running Android 12 on a Realme 8 5G phone. I am new to Voice Access. I have been following the tutorial to try and set it up, so that I can operate my phone and the user interface that it and its various apps provide entirely via voice. I am trying to download the US English language package from Italy. However, a language update was necessary to use it offline, and, as a result, the Voice Access tutorial stalls, as it takes forever. Here is a screenshot: >

I recently got a new phone, a Landvo XM100 Plus. It sometimes reboots randomly which doesn't bother me much, but what's annoying is that it keeps setting the system language to German. I did not have these issues on my old phone (Samsung Galaxy S3), and I don't have the problem when there is no SIM Card inserted. However, I'm using the same SIM that I used in my old phone, so I'm really confused as to what is going on. I tried googling the issue and I ended up at a few different boards with everyone basically scratching their heads. Could it be the custom ROM the manufacturer uses? I don't quite want to flash my phone with a different OS right now since I still got a warranty. Any ideas?

I have an issue with achievements in Google Play Games. I've noticed this when playing Clash of Clans (but it's not limited to it. Every game that has Russian translation of achievements is affected). I used to use Russian language in the game and my Google account. Now my Google account and system language is set to Ukrainian, and the language of the game is set to English. Google Play country is set to Ukraine. However, Play Games continues to show achievements in Russian. I can't find how to change it. I've already asked for the help from the community, but got no answer after more than a week: https://support.google.com/googleplay/thread/251211195

I recently got my Desire HD, and it came pre-installed with Deutsch, English, Spanish, French and Portuguese, each in a (Spain) or (Portugal) flavor. Is there some way of getting an English (United States) or English (United Kingdom) on it? Removing the other languages as well, would be nice.

I have a smart TV (Pilot) which runs Android 4.0.2. I connected it to an external keyboard (through USB). I have English and Hebrew on the keyboard. The problem is that I cannot switch languages through Alt+Shift. In the Android keyboard, I can switch through the GUI in the TV, but not through the external keyboard. What can I do?

I've set English as the default language on my Samsung Galaxy A35 (Android 14) and German (Switzerland) as a second language. How do I set the locale to CH (Switzerland)? I need numbers, units, time formatting as it should be in CH but the phone uses US settings (from the default language). The UI does not offer to set English (Switzerland) as a language. I've read somewhere that Android 14 supports setting the regional details but could not find this setting. Applications to set the locale do not longer exist or work. Setting the locale using ADB with "setprop persist.sys.locale en-CH" results in an error. PS: I actually would prefer the date formatting yyyy-mm-dd instead of dd.mm.yyyy common here.

Is there any way to make your Android keyboard type in the Latin alphabet but write in another language, e.g. Persian (Farsi) or other languages? For example, if you write the phonetics of some word in the Latin alphabet (English alphabet), it writes the equivalent Persian word in the input box. Like the picture below in Google Translate, when the input language is something other than Latin languages, it suggests Persian writing. > The Persian keyboard of an Android phone of one of my friends suddenly has been changed and behaves like told. And the language symbol when you swipe is A->ا which probably means write in Latin and receive Persian. I checked all the language settings. Nothing odd was there except only one thing that I checked which was the Farsi Latin input language, and the problem was not due to that. Note: you can forget about the (Farsi Latin) because it was not set in the first place. I only told for the ways I have tried. So, how to take the keyboard back to normal Farsi?

I am using Gboard to translate text from English to other languages. Some languages can be written in more than one script. I was wondering whether it would be possible to select Bosnian in Cyrillic rather than Latin script as my translation output, or pinyin instead of hanzi as the output text for Chinese. The same goes for other languages that can have more than one destination translation output script. Is this possible with Gboard (and, in general, also with Google Translate)? How can I achieve this behavior?

I think it would be nice if in the text-to-speech settings you could specify a cascading set of languages, with dictionaries, associated with each language, intrinsic in the language selection. When, a word is encountered, TTS would look up the word in the dictionary for the selected language, if it is not found, it looks it up in the dictionary for the second language, and so on. When a word is found in a dictionary, it is played, using the language intonation for the language associated with that dictionary. If the word is not found in any dictionary, the first language specified is used to pronounce the word, by default. This multi-language algorithm could be a bit more processor expensive, but several multilingual users who write their notes and text in their apps in more than one language at a time (even using the Feynman method, ie., write as text comes natural to you, rather than abiding by the rules of a specific language), for instance in their Google keep notes, might like this feature (and use it). Can this be implemented in Android? When will this be implemented? How can I enable it? Thanks.

I have an Android 10 device that I recently updated the (custom) ROM on, and now (for apps that have splits that include language splits - for example, config.en.apk) when installing or updating an app, I get not only English, but Spanish (config.es.apk), as well. In System / Languages, I have only English (United States) selected. Installing the same apps on other devices installs English only (the aforementioned config.en.apk). What setting or configuration option forces apps to add support for Spanish?
