How to change the default language of Android Emul

Question

How to change the language of the Emulator? By default I am getting Chinese while filling a form.
Please help me to get out of this.

Answer 1

There are few possible solutions to change the device language.

1. Open menu -> Setting -> Language & Keyboard -> Select Locale. Set any locale from this. It depends on android os version and on device manufacturer.
2. Emulator contains app called "Custom Locale". using that app also you can change the locale of your emulator. I didn't check all type of emulator running on different types of CPU and android version so its not gerrently that this app is present in the emulator.

Answer 2

You can disable the Japanese and other input methods from being activated entirely via Settings -→ Keyboard -→ untick the box next to each IME.

Answer 3

It depends form the version emulator.

On Android 4.0: Home -> Central Menu -> Custom Locale

Answer 4

Use this to set locale programmatically:

Locale locale = new Locale("en");
Locale.setDefault(locale);
Configuration config = getBaseContext().getResources().getConfiguration();
config.locale = locale;
