Change my language in Android 5.0 to Arabic?

Change my language in Android 5.0 to Arabic

If it is not an option in your System Language Settings, then you will have to search for a ROM for your device in 5.0. Usually, an Arabic region will have the ROM but the newer ROMs of updated OS might take longer to be broadcasted. You could look for a Clockwork MOD for your device that included Arabic as a system language.

The Arabic language is not in the list?

When I go to the language and input selection, The Arabic language is not listed in the list provided

You will have to find a ROM for your device that does have the Arabic language if you want to change the entire system. There are many apps that will change your keyboard to Arabic but not the entire device.

I have an LG Lucid phone that used to belong to my mother in law who lives in FL. My husband used it for a while, we live in NC. I just had it activated through Straight Talk. Under language settings/ Google voice typing the language, the input is set to 'automatic'. When I try to change it to English, as soon as I leave that screen it reverts back to automatic. When I use Google voice typing when trying to send a text, the text appears in Arabic, not English. Can you help me with this?

I spoke with a Straight Talk rep and was told they could do a factory reset to try to fix it. Does that mean I will lose all of my contact information? Thanks.

YES, doing a factory reset will erase all your personal information and data, contacts, photos, videos, etc. But, if your contacts are set to your Google account, you can backup, go to 'Accounts', select your Google account and hit 'Sync', that way, all your contacts will be saved to your Google account. And once you set your Google account on your factory reset mobile, your contacts will be automatically recovered to your mobile.

I didn't find Arabic language on the list why? Can you help me, please?

How can I change the language to Arabic if I didn't find Arabic language on the list? Thank you so much for your help I bought new phone on5 and I didn't find Arabic language in the list. I have tried: I didn't find Arabic language on the list of my phone on5 please help me thanks for the. I think it was caused by: Because I bought it in the USA please, help me thanks.

You are correct in your assumption that because you bought the phone from the US, the language option for Arabic is not there. The software developers only add a small selection of languages based on population. Therefore, you will have to find ROM specific to an Arabic region and your device. So if your phone is not widely sold in an Arabic-speaking nation, it will be hard to install ROM. If this is the case then you will want to see if there is an alternative MOD like Clockwork available.

Arabic language is hidden from language menu please help?

I am not able to see the Arabic language although my mobile was working by this language
