What the device *offers* is a combination of what came with it from the OEM and what the user added, subject to any device-specific limitations. What the device *accepts* is a superset of what has already been installed. It is not only likely, but common that a device will have apps and device configurations supporting locales beyond what originally came with the device. I've got Google Translate on my phone. It supports many locales not on my L&I screen. I've also loaded programs that take over the IMEs and display for whatever language and thrown the whole phone into Arabic, Chinese, Korean or whatever. Piren laid out a taxonomy of locale support. Basically an app will support any locale it's properly configured to support. -- Lew -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
