A universal way to Russify android of different versions. How to install Russian language on Android? Lenovo a1000 how to change language

When you open the menu on your Android device, you may notice that a language you don't understand is installed. In this case, it is almost impossible to use the device and the main question arises - how to change the settings on a tablet or smartphone. To do this, you need to follow certain instructions. For most devices, they are identical, except for minor differences. For clarity, we will show the change of language on the example of devices from different manufacturers.

Instructions on the example of a device from Lenovo

Despite the same version of Android on a phone or tablet, the settings may have a different location depending on the manufacturer of the device. If you are the owner of a mobile device from Lenovo, then in most cases the following instructions will help you:

As you can see, changing the language on a tablet or other gadget running Android is not so difficult, because most of the settings have explanatory icons.

Example for Samsung brand devices

The methodology for this manufacturer is almost identical, with the exception that you need to go to other menu items. To change the language in the Android OS on a Samsung tablet or phone, follow these steps:

Now you can freely use your Android gadget. For brands of other phones, the instructions are almost identical. You need to go to the general settings, find the menu that is responsible for the language (as a rule, it has a pencil icon or letters), and change it on a tablet or phone.

For some users, these tips will not help for one simple reason - their phone simply may not have the required language, and therefore it simply will not be possible to change it. What to do in this case? There is an exit! Download required.

On the Android OS, there is one extremely useful application called MoreLocale 2. It allows you to localize your phone in order to install desired language eg Russian. To use it, download it to your phone, and then follow these steps:

For users of newer versions of Android 4.2+, the Set Locale & Language program will help. It has similar navigation items, and you can easily handle "Russification" without outside help.

Now your Android tablet or mobile phone will be set to the language you need. Unfortunately, the program is not perfect, so some items may not be localized, but these are extremely rare cases. Thanks to this application, you can freely use the device by changing the language at any time, even if it is not provided by the standard settings. The application does not take up much memory, while it is very fast.

Now almost everyone has an Android phone. The memory of such devices contains a lot of languages, which makes it possible to use them anywhere in the world. But sometimes this can cause great inconvenience, especially if the owner of the phone does not have a basic knowledge of at least English, which smartphones and tablets initially use very often.

When you use it for the first time, return to factory settings, or for some other reason (for example, if the phone was ordered in China, which is no longer uncommon today), you can find that the keyboard, menus and everything else have become incomprehensible to us. There is a need to change it. But how can we change it if the words are incomprehensible to us? This is what we will look into. So, in order to switch the system and keyboard language on your Android, you need to:

  1. Enter the settings menu.
  2. Next, we need to find and select the item, which is indicated by the letter or the globe in later versions of android.
  3. Select the first item in the list.
  4. Further, everything is very simple. We change the current language to the one we need. There shouldn't be any difficulty with this.
  5. We press the back button, which is in every Android, and check if what we need has changed. After that, it is advisable to go to messages and check the keyboard language.

Majority mobile phones and tablets with the Android operating system sold on our market already have Russification built into the firmware. Even in Chinese smartphones of second-tier companies, their manufacturers are trying to localize the interface of the system and installed programs, including into Russian. Unfortunately, in practice there are still cases when a phone or tablet of a little-known company ordered from China comes with firmware in which the Chinese language is installed, and in best case you can change it to English or one of the most common Western European ones. For some of the users who are good at foreign languages maybe this won't seem like a problem. But we think that most buyers would like to install their native language on their device and enjoy all its advantages.

In the menu that opens, select the first item "Select language" and check the list of available languages ​​for the presence of Russian there. If it is missing in the system - it's time to install it, correcting this annoying flaw.

Russification of Android keyboard only

Some users are ready to put up with the fact that the firmware of their device or the interface of some programs do not have Russian localization, but they need at least Russification of the on-screen keyboard. After all, typing, social networking, sending messages, etc. in Latin are at least unreadable for those who will receive these messages. For such users, the solution may simply be to install a keyboard with Russian language support in the system.

How to Russify android (for Android up to version 4.2)

For many users, the conditional Russification given in the sections above is unlikely to be fully satisfied, and they will want their Android phone or tablet to communicate with them completely in Russian. You can do this, and now we will tell you how to translate Android into Russian completely if your phone or tablet has an old version of the operating system.

The most popular application for localizing Android firmware is MoreLocale 2, available for download on Google Play.

Download the program from there or install it on your mobile device in any way. Further, in order to install the Russian language in your system, you need to perform the following sequence of actions:

Run MoreLocale 2 and select the green item "Custom locale" in the program window;

In the window that appears after this, you must press the "ISO" button, located next to the menu item "Language", and select the language "Russian" there;

After that, press the "ISO" button, located opposite the next menu item "Country", and select "Russian Federation" from the list of countries;

Press the "Set" button to confirm your choice;

You can enjoy full localization, your phone or tablet has learned to speak Russian.

Please note: if the applications installed in the operating system do not have the Russian language initially, MoreLocale 2 will not be able to Russify them. Perhaps, in this case, your operating system will not be fully Russified. But is it better than nothing?

In addition, using the method above, you must consider the following: due to the changed rules for making changes to the OS configuration, this method will not work on firmwareAndroid from version 4.2.x and older. How to transfer devices with new versions of Android, read on.

How to Russify android 4.2 and higher

Full Russification of the entire Android operating system version 4.2.x and higher is fraught with some difficulties, but there are no such difficulties that a true Android system enthusiast cannot overcome, right?

To begin with, let's say that on Google Play there is a Set Locale & Language program that allows you to set the system language, even if it is not in the firmware. The developers claim that it can localize even Android version 4.2.x and older.

True, many users complain that the Set Locale & Language program does not always work stably, and localization settings may disappear after the application is restarted. Only one recommendation can help here: try, try, and hope that you are lucky and your device is localized reliably.

But if the previous method turned out to be useless for you, now we will teach you another method on how to translate the system language of your phone or tablet into Russian. This method was originally invented for HTC smartphones, but for other phones or tablets it also works fine in many cases.

To Russify new versions of the Android OS, we will need to download the adb program and install it on our computer. Besides, in this case you also need to install the More Locale 2 application, which has already been discussed above. Also install drivers for your smartphone or tablet on your PC. To Russify your Android device, follow the instructions below:

1. Enable the "USB debugging" mode on your device (Program menu -> "Settings" -> "Developer options" -> "USB debugging"). If the "Developer options" item in the menu on your device is missing, you need to find the "About phone" item in the "Settings" menu and click on the device model name or on the firmware version ten times in a row. "Developer options" will appear in the settings menu;

2. The ADB program must be unpacked on the computer to the root of the C: drive (the path to the executable file should be: C:\adb\adb.exe);

3. Connect your Android device to your computer;

4. Launch the command line application on the PC by running cmd.exe;

5. Enter a command cd c:\adb to go to folder c:\adb\;

6. To search for your smartphone, enter the commandadb devices ;

7. The program should give the ID of your device below under the line " List of devices attached ";

8. Enter command

adb shell pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION

9. Make Sure, what in window appeared answer programs

lo cale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION;

10. If we made a mistake in the command syntax, the system will display a message using the pm command. In this case, you need to carefully repeat the command again.

11. Disconnect your Android device from your computer and launch the MoreLocale 2 program.

12. Repeat the sequence of steps for Russifying the firmware using MoreLocale 2, indicated in the previous section.

If your phone or tablet is not found by the ADB program, and next to its identifier you see the inscription "offline", this means that your version of ADB is outdated for this model. Download the Android SDK and install it on your computer. In the /platform-tools/ folder you will find the latest version of ADB.

Please note that this localization method (like the method for Adroid before 4.2.x) works at the program level, and not at the operating system level. That's why if you do , your localization will fail, and to get the Russian language after resetting the settings, you will have to do everything all over again.

As you can see, it is not always easy to localize new mobile devices with fresh Android firmware. The only good news is that even little-known Chinese mobile phone developers are already paying attention to the Russian-speaking user market, and phone or tablet models that lack Russian localization are becoming rarer and rarer. For the majority of modern devices, it is usually possible to find, if not official, then at least custom (custom) firmware, in which the Russian language will be built in. We hope your new mobile on Android OS will be just like that!

Android is a popular system, it is not only on smartphones, but also on tablets, netbooks, e-books; it is used in digital players and game consoles, there are even wristwatches and glasses on this system. In the near future, TVs and cars will work on it.

Of course, it is much more convenient to use all these gadgets if the interface is Russified.

Changing the language on Android is simple, you just need to select the "Languages ​​and keyboards" item in the settings and click on the top "Languages" item. In the list that appears, select "Russian (Russia)".

In the case when there is no Russian in the list of available languages, Russification of the android system is needed. So you can get both the Russian layout for the keyboard and the operating system interface in Russian.

The procedure will depend on which version of Android is installed on your smartphone or tablet. The video at the end of the article shows how easy it can be done. Let's take a look in detail, if 4.1.x (or lower), then the Russification of android goes as follows:

  1. Download from Google Play crack "MoreLocale 2" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale.
  2. A window will appear, in it click on "Custom Locale".
  3. In the next window, select "ISO".
  4. In the list that opens, select "Russian".
  5. In the field opposite "Country" select "Russian Federation"
  6. As confirmation, press "Set".

This is enough for the system to be completely Russified.

For new versions (4.2 and higher), this is not enough, a ban on editing the configuration has been added to it. Just installing a special crack will not be enough, you need to work with the console.

How to install Russian language on android using the "ADB" application? It can be downloaded from the Internet and installed on your computer. Then it will be possible to connect a smartphone or tablet to it and arrange their work.

For Russification of android versions 4.2 and higher, you need:

  • Install the same crack "MoreLocale 2" on your Android device.
  • Download the ADB program, put it on your home PC as follows: you need to connect your phone as an SD card, copy the ADB.rar archive to your computer, unpack and run adb_install.bat or an exe application that will install ADB on your computer (for Windows) . Then in the ADB Master select the ADB Location path, for example, C:\adb\adb_win_v1.0.26
  • It should have . If not, you need to download and install.
  • On an Android device, go to "Settings", "For Developers", "Debugging via USB". Tick.
  • Connect the device to the computer. Enable command line and write:
    • cd c:\adb - this command will open the folder with the "ADB" program
    • adb devices - a command to search for connected devices. When the gadget is found, one line should appear below the inscription "List of devices attached". This is the Android device string.
    • adb shell pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION - the command gives the MoreLocale2 cracker permission to edit the Android device configuration.
  • Disconnect the device from the computer.
  • Launch "MoreLocale 2" and do the same as you would for an earlier version of Android.

To use the Russian layout, you can download any Russian-language keyboard from Google Play and install it.

If you have a samsung smartphone and the steps above did not help, then try the Locale app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whenair.language
