Also, this has nothing to do with Galaxy S2, This is a generic Android question and should be asked in Android forum.

[Q] Problem with S-Voice

I have my language set to English but when I bring up S-voice it show it to me in French. I tried changing the language to french, then back to english but it still shows french. Can some one help? What do I need to do? Factory default maybe? I love the phone but this is crazy. Any help would be great!!!! Thanks.
If anyone has the same or simular issue with S-Voice
I figured it out. If you go into manage apps and scroll down to s-voice, you can clear the data. This will allow S-voice to default to your appropriate language. I bought this phone from some international whole sale company. It must have been used or at least set to French language and then defaulted back. Some how the S-Voice was stuck on French language. Hope this helps someone else out.
Thanks You

You certainly helped me buddy. Thanks. I just got S3 after no smart phones for over a year. I love this thing, but really was frustrated with French instruction for S-Voice. Mind you I am not too thrilled about S-voice itself but at least I can make work in a language I understand. Thanks a million!!!http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/good.gif

[Q] Google Now in Jelly Bean - language

Is it possible to use Google Now in English, without changing the phone language?
I know it works with other languages, but then it gives only search results and it doesn't 'talk back' like in English...
Also will Google Now support other languages to 'talk back' in the future?
bump.
Open Google Now. Click the menu button, click settings, click voice, click Language. Hope this helps!

[Q] How do I edit the keyboard layout?

Hello everyone,
Since besides English I speak German and Hungarian, i would like to edit the keyboard layout of my Galaxy Note running CyanogenMod 9.0.0 to create my own with all the letters I need. I tried searching the Web and this site for it, but couldn't find out how to do that. It would be great if someone would help me.
Greetings,
Patrick

Thank you for your reply, I already did that, but I didn't like the locations of the buttons in the numbers-menu.

Google keyboard missing english

Hi,
On my old phone I always used to type with the Google Keyboard. Mostly switching between English and Dutch with the button next to the space bar.
Now, on my Honor 7, I don't have the option to select English when choosing languages.
I can only choose either "Use system language" OR one or more "Active input methods" but that last one does not include English.
Anybody with the same issue or a solution for this?
Related but not such a big issue. My layout should be azerty but is now qwerty.
Thanks in advance

Use swype keyboard, it's far better and you can set any language, even two of them.
Isn´t the original Huawei standard keyboard actually a Swype version?

It is indeed. Just switch to English and adjust variables as you wish.

I have the same issue and don't want to use the swipe keyboard. I can only select Dutch or English, not both at the same time and then switch via the space bar.
Send from my Honor 7 using the free xda app.
You can select both languages and switch them with the space bar.

The strange thing is, when I choose my local language, I can choose any additional language, but not English...
I used this keyboard before on other phones, no issues there.

Check thoroughly through all language settings, there is a ton of them and somewhere you have even Chinese as a second language preset. I adjusted all settings and I can select both languages as you can see on attached pictures.
Similar problem
I have got Honor 7 just couple of days ago but have already noticed that Google Keyboard is missing a lot of layouts, especially the one I really appreciated - Uzbek. I have had Galaxy S4 before and installed Google Keyboard from Play Store and it has much more layouts available.
Anyone knows if there is any way to uninstall preinstalled Google Keyboard from Honor 7 and reinstall it from Play Store?

You simply must root your phone, remove google keyboard from system (make sure to install a keyboard app before you do so) then reinstall it.
Or try updating the app if possible

Yeah, I came to the same conclusion. I wrote to Huawei support their reply is the standard "If the language is not available on the Google keyboard settings then I'm afraid there's no support for that language"

Updating didn't help. I have the latest version (5.1.23.127065177-arm64-v8a) according to Play Store.

I have English. I don't have Uzbek layout (which exists on my Galaxy S4).
@Jixop Go to Language & Input settings, you'll have options there to enable various languages.

I don't know what's wrong here.
I was able to solve this! I upgraded to Android 6 and was able to disable the preinstalled Google Keyboard. Then I installed its clone from an .apk and then I have finally found Uzbek layout!
