SetEdit method - All languages on Android smartphones
Many of us know the Morelocale 2 method for activating all possible languages on Android smartphones. Of course, this only applies to the Google apps you download. But since these make up 97% of our daily time usage, it is perfect for China smartphones, which often only support English as a language.
The disadvantage of the Morelocale 2 / Language Enabler method is that you often need a PC or a terminal app on the Android smartphone and have to give the app certain rights. Also, the Morelocale 2 app no longer works on Xiaomi smartphones since March 2024. Therefore, this is often a bit complicated and not everyone can do it without problems.
The new method is much simpler, can be executed on the device itself and only requires an app + a change of language.
1. DOWNLOAD
First of all, we need the SetEdit app. You can find this as normal in the Play Store. As a rule, all our China smartphones have the Play Store installed, so all you have to do is download the app.
2. SPRACHE WECHSELN
Now it's even easier. Open the SetEdit app and scroll all the way down. Scroll up a little until you find the “system locales” entry. The language of the system is stored there.
Now you just have to enter your language there. Android uses the ISO CODE of the language for this. We have included a list of the most important languages here. Replace the ISO code with your language and now you can save and exit the app.
Important! The change will only take effect after a restart and should remain. For apps that do not change the language, such as Chrome, it is because you have changed the language after the download. Our tip is to make this change first and then install the apps. Or you can of course simply delete Chrome and download it again from the Play Store, in which case the change should take effect.
