In 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 few languages are listed. I suspect its because of this "Locale" setting.

Where I can change it so that all supported languages will be listed? Under Settings -> Language & Keyboard I don't see a "Locale" option.

    What phone do you have and what version of Android is it runnning? That may well affect the answers.

  • I don't think "Locale" is a separate setting anywhere. It just looks like the list title/header to me. This also sounds like it may be a duplicate of How do I add a new language? Mar 14, 2012 at 17:47
  • android version is 2.3.5 . Does the language list depend on teh android version or is it divide by the mobile manufacturer

The keyboard settings shows all supported languages no matter the locale of the device, so if a language is not listed than it's not supported. A good alternative is AnysoftKeyboard; you can download language packs for it.

If you want to change locale settings on your device, the Set Locale and Language app1 might prove helpful as well. Locale-Einstellung looks almost the same. MoreLocale 22 might offer an alternative, as it also allows to create custom locales -- which is also supported by Custom Locale3.

Set Locale MoreLocale2 Custom Locale

With Any Locale4 switching the locale can be as easy as tapping a widget -- as it is with LocaleSwitch5 or the Language Picker Widget6.

Also very nice: Raygional7. And there are probably many more to chose from...
