It's quite easy, but it depends on the ROM you are using. Some ROMs support specific languages (locales). To change the locale go to phone's "Settings" app. Tap on "Locale and text" entry and then tap on "Select locale" entry. Select your desired locale and reboot the device.
Sadly I have not seen Chinese locale in SG3 ROMs (probably because I was never looking for it). There is Korean locale in most of SG3 ROMs. Try flashing a couple of stock ROMs to see if they have Chinese locale or wait if someone replies which ROM is he using to get Chinese locale...

Thank you all the same……
Maybe my description is not clear enough ,I mean how to make the ROM support chinese by modifing some files of the ROM.
My english is not good enough,hope you can understand……

Oh, that's another matter...This would include translation of the corresponding files in the framework, and the OS itself. All .apk(s) need to be translated, which considers decompiling and the recompiling the whole .apk, hunting down the GUI .xml(s), adding the translation and so on...Isn't there Chinese Android translation/localization?
...and I forgot one very important thing, the Chinese fonts and grammar! This can cause many compatibility issues. As I understand, Chinese characters cannot be translated respectively from Alphabetical characters. This would involve coding/writing a new/separate module for decoding and encoding Chinese characters. If Chinese is similar to Korean, this is the place to start. Word prediction and autocerrect software would have to be written also - for the keyboard, new keyboard layout etc...A lot of work (assuming there is no Chinese localization for Android).

Thx a lot.
There are people who do the translation work on the Internet.But they are not able to turn every ROM to chinese version,especially when i find a ROM which i like from xda. I think i should try to find out how they do the work and learn it……

Hey everyone! I have the HTC Touch Dual with 20 keys, but I have a problem. See, I've been living here in Spain for about 4 years now, and I had a blackberry prior to this purchase, with a full qwerty keyboard, so I had no need to change between languages and such. So my question is if there is a way to have both dictionaries (English + Spanish) together. I saw a friend with his iphone, he had both languages installed at once. I'm wondering if there's any way to use the predictive writing tool while having it look through 2 languages at once. Is that possible? Thanks!

just a thought, but maybe merging the two languages in the xt9 language file?
OMG! Do you know how to do this!? Is there a way to do this!? Wooo you just got me sooo excited
any results?
Hi guys, have you tried copying two different language files into one? Does it slow down the XT9 recognition (memory...)?
If you have identified the location and name of the files to merge, plz let me know.
Thx.

So far nothing. No one has been able to help. I'm still asking around.
I need exactly the same , merge french & english
I just put in 14 in 1 language XT9 pack, and it works great, but still a pain when I have to switch languages everytime I want to type in a different language. Is there a way to remove languages that you don't want?

Can you briefly explain what you did?
If I unterstand correct, you _did_ copy multiple files into one (which and where?) and it seems to be working for you.
So why do you have to switch languages now? Shouldnt you be able to simply type and the T9 file (containing multiple language data bases) recognises possible matches from either of the contained languages?
2)
Proposal: Is there a chance to write a brief macro toggling between languages and make it configurable by a simple GUI to choose the language files to switch?
-> any takers for this challenge? Thx.

Well, I just found that 14 in 1 cab, installed it, and restarted. Worked great! And STILL Works great! But now I have 14 languages I'd like to get rid of 12 of them Any ideas?
What I was saying is that what I have to do is click and hold the asterisk, bring up the menu, click XT9 Languages and then click the language I want. I wish there was a way to do it faster.
Hi
I would like to start an Arabic Locale project for Android, to localize system menus. but I have no idea where to start ... where are system localization info is stored to start translating.
Thank you
Maybe you should start with the search button !

I am aware of the posts you mentioned, what I am seeking is localization of system menus which is not addressed at the work in the links you provided.
If it was easy like you think Ayman Elsanad wont keep it , if you are looking to make the menu Arabic it will be great to get result , but i don't think is easy to do something like that
People are building locale information for their native languages that are not included in the system. so it can be done
i hope u can do it and u will inshallah
if you apply all locale you will see some languages dose not change menu as arabic local, thats mean which locale change the whole system its already supported by android not from locale app.

Hey can anwayone tell me whether the I5800XXJPF firmware version supports Chinese?
I bought my phone in China and am currently learning Chinese so I need it to support this, but I desperately what to update to a 2.2 FROYO firmware so that I can move apps to the SD card.
Can anyone help?
Thomas.
You tell me, I have no idea what language this is:
That's all I could find. There's no other language that could be chinese in locale setting.

Well on the second picture, two languages on top are not something even remotely exotic but two European languages Greek and Serbian. Third one does not look like chinese either.
Yeah, I was referring to the last language in the list. That was the only language that popped out as possible asian language, everything else I can recognize as something else
I don't know what you can do, download some Chinese locale setting from market (if they exist?)
Is it possible to add another locale to the Atrix?
I would like to have a German Android experience on my phone.
Thanks
Nobody?
Would be really nice or at least to force installed apps to use the German language if possible.
What about editing the build.prop system file?
Afaik, the system locale is part of the ROM. You cannot simply edit build.prop, if the menus and labels loaded in the ROM do not include your locale. This is different for apps - those package their locales, and would convert easily.
I think you will need to wait until somebody comes out with a ROM that includes your locale of choice. And/or wait until Atrix comes out in Germany, and a recovery ROM/tool for Germany is available. (Possibly from Moto website, but I would not count on it.)
Hi all just for anyone that is interested and didn't know you can change your locale using MoreLocale2 app from market. It allows you to make your own local that is specific for you.
Hi,
How to Set Language in Samsung Galaxy S5 ?
after morelocal2+ root didn't help...
I suppose that the language I want is not concealed and there is general... (Hebrew and Arabic)
Mostly in U.S. models they Removed language ,but in the International the language are Present.
There is a way to extract the languages to other models?

Oeps, sorry missread your post. Look for a possible language mod in the Themes and apps section or you might consider a custom rom with these languages included.

Google has an app called Locale and Languages that does what you want. But it hasn't been updated since 4.1. Likely it's left up to carriers to support now.
You imply that you're not using the international ROM, so search the custom ROM feature lists. That is where you are most likely to find extended language support.
