how to add language support to android [closed]

Answer 1

I've seen references to modifying /system/fonts/Droid*.ttf by those looking to add an unsupported language. Modifying that folder requires root access to the device.

I also read that the Android OS does support right-to-left languages such as Hebrew, Arabic and Hindi. I don't know if it is able to stitch the characters together as you want, though. I haven't done this myself.

Answer 2

try the "google translate" which has a good support for languages.just download the jar and add it to your application and call its method to translate to any language.

Answer 3

Anymemo is an open-source Android application that has support for Arabic. You can easily check it out with git and take a look at how they solved it.

Answer 4

If the problem is only about the font you can change the fonts of text you are using by adding the font file to /assets directory and use it on textViews and etc by adding

Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "yourFont.ttf");
TextView text=new TextView("Text","this");
text.setTypeface(font);

But I am not sure that all the problem is about finding the right font.( I don't know if the languages you are talking about uses letters which combine with each other like Chinese, it would be harder to manage something like that though) But I believe you may find or create a better font which has less space around the letters so that the letters would look closer. Good luck.
