Japanese language setting

[scientistidroxel]

Is there any way I can change the default language setting to Japanese? I don't see it listed in the Language & Input setting. I'm using the LGMS323. Android version is 4.4.2

Hi, can you try installing this app: set locale and language

 

[scientistidroxel]

I tried but it only supports up to 4.2. I have 4.4.

Yeah I checked on it before but it only helps if the language is "built in" the phone. Japanese isn't on this phone.

Okay well I found a good Japanese keyboard: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adamrocker.android.input.simeji

Just make sure if you change settings you know the original just in case things don't work out

Well I installed the simeji keyboard. While it's nice to be able to type in japanese. I still can't get my phone in japanese.

And the second link didn't help much. I guess i'm going have to buy another phone then.

Edit:sorry i didn't really mean to say it like that. What i meant to say is that it woyld really be a plus if i was able to have my phone in Japanese but it isn't necessary. Typing in Japanese is good enough.

Hmm, I know that you could root your device and find a ROM that supports Japanese natively, some do, you just need to find them.

Sorry I couldn't help you out completely.

I think the simple way is buy a phone from a Japanese maker, e.g Sony.
