Question

How do I change my phone into a language that isn't there?

Community Answer

If your device doesn't have the language you are looking for as an option, there won't be a way to change it to that language, as the translation hasn't been programmed into the device.

Question

My phone updates in its original language. What can I do?

Community Answer

If you have a second phone/Internet-connected mobile device (like an iPod or old android), there are apps for translation that use camera mode on the device to read the language on your phone and translate to the language of your choice. It's like a real-time scan version of Google Translate without having to type or copy/paste.
