IssueTracker

I am attaching another screenshot of the Locale Setting.

I noticed the same issue with the emulator. i also checked the /system/fonts dir and there is no sign of hindi fonts.

@sasidublin, agreed. Not only do they not have a font they don't have any shaper that can handle Hindi in Android 2.3. So that's bad. Someone taking care of i18n should really check his notes. Just putting localized strings for languages like Hindi would not work as some form of shaper is still needed to render them. So the issues are:

1) Missing Shaper for Hindi. Just supporting locale without a shaper is meaningless.
2) Missing Font for Hindi.

However the Platform Highlights says thus:


New Platform Technologies

Core libraries:

Expanded I18N support (full worldwide encodings, more locales)

Locales

The system image included in the downloadable SDK platform provides a variety of built-in locales. In some cases, region-specific strings are available for the locales. In other cases, a default version of the language is used. The languages that are available in the Android 2.3 system image are listed below (with language_country/region locale descriptor).

Hi,
How about the browser rendering?
Is Webkit is able to render the indian languages properly?

Just square boxes in Browser. For Hindi font does not exist at all, and even if we added our own font, rendering will still be broken. Will try to add font and upload a test here.

Yup @nasamissions is correct. That is exactly wat I see on my emulator. Using emulator's browser I went to my Hindi blog and I still see the pestiferous square boxes on the web pages. Same result for Google's Hindi news website. Come on Google!! Really?

Anyways people, make sure that in addition to writing your comments here, please remember to click on the "Star" button on top-left corner of this defect page to push this defect up in queue.

@ravi please do share if anything works out.

Thanks!

yes dude,
you are right, still the square boxes are displaying.
it's pathetic to see the square boxes. C'mon google... wake up.

Hmm this seems to be a very annoying issue..... as Sandeep said... Google people please wake up !!
Seemingly the rendering of Hindi is still not "upto the mark."

Finished testing by putting mangal.ttf as DroidSansFallback.ttf into /system/fonts/
As expected re-ordering and halant/half-forms is not working. But if Google can put in Arabic font even though it does not work, I think it would be great if they would also put in a Hindi font even if it does not work.

Didn't see this post and I just reported this issue as well.

It's mind numbing to see many news site claiming Hindi to be supported just based on the release notes from Android. So far no news sites has claimed otherwise, I think this bug begs to be publicized to gain more attention. Anyone that can help, please?

Good work on testing the SDK. It is disappointing that Hindi is being neglected by i18n team of Android again and again. Does anyone know a lead/developer inside the mighty Google who can help us get this issue some more love.

Starred this issue.  

@Ravi.Chhabra
I have been on crusade (for lack of a better word) to ask Android team members that I could identify on twitter or otherwise for ETA on Hindi support. Till now I have been a single man's team. I have written to TSeng when he used to work for Google, now he is at Facebook. Had gotten a generic reply from him in past. I have written to Romain Guy and Nikesh Arora (Head of Google Sales). Haven't received any replies from them. I agree with you, if we want this to work we have to coordinate and collectively put pressure on Android team through blogs and news media or any other medium. For God sakes its embarrassing, look at Enhancement #5597 demanding Arabic support, it has 5628 stars and 5018 comments in less than one year. And our Enhancement has been around for 2 years with just 134 stars and 92 comments. Then we wonder why us Indians get short-change again and again. This is not just about getting Hindi support. Its Devnagri (big umbrella) and with it will come support for other Indian languages of different charset too. I hope the fence sitters will shed their "my language first" chauvinism and unite to get Google to stop ignoring us.

If you are on Facebook, then suggest this page to all your friends and ask them to star this complaint

I have a Samsung Galaxy 3 running Android 2.1 and surprisingly, it renders Hindi perfectly. I guess Samsung fixes the engine on their part. Also, I rooted the phone and it does have a DroidHindi.ttf in /system/fonts.

Pratulkkalia,
That is good news for me. I would see if I can download the source of Samsung Galaxy 3. I have also read a similar feedback from another person for Galaxy 5 (I5801)Android 2.1 Eclair. It also supports Hindi perfectly out of the box. This means it's time to get that ROM modded for another devices.Can you confirm if they have a keyboard as well?

Back some months I emaild HTC India about Hindi and they told me 'regional' languages were not supported on HTC. If Sumsung supports it kudos to them, and we should let our Indian audience know that this korean company values our country a lot more than HTC. Samsung like you have mentioned obviously is using a non Google technology to achieve this. Will report more after running the galaxy 5 image.

Nope, there is no keyboard for Hindi input. I checked that.

I tried adding Mangal font by renaming it to DroidSansFallback.ttf, it won't work on LG GT540 Optimus

@Pratulkalia: Thanks for the update. Can you pull that DroidHindi.ttf out of /system/fonts & share with us? May be it is more optimized for mobile phones than Mangal.ttf.

@ravi: I agree on that Korean company values our country point of yours. This should be mentioned on that FB page also.

All: DroidSansFallback.ttf trick works on HTC Hero.

Samsung Galaxy 3 - DroidHindi.ttf

@tejasdj,
please make me and Preeka admins on the FB page so that we could upload
pictures and do more stuff on that page. Thanks.

Hi, Do you have a small description on how to add (or replace) the font file? I'm not really good in this rooting / modding stuff. Perhaps that would also be something for the Facebook page?

Thanks!

Good point. It shall be added.

@ravi.chhabra
I have made you the admin

kindly give devnagri/hindi support in android.

Hi please fix the bug to  to proper support hindi fonts in android so it will be useful in crating application targeted to Indian market.

Once Android phones go below Rs. 5000 level there will be a lot more pressure to support Hindi and other Indian languages.

Kudos to Samsung for supporting Hindi. One more reason to buy Samsung.

Google, please support Hindi in Android.

Android phones costing less than 5000 INR? Already, the phones costing 12K INR (like the Samsung Galaxy 3) are amazingly slow and underpowered. Phones that cheap will have such useless hardware that the entire Android experience will be destroyed. I played around with a Micromax Android phone worth 8000 INR recently and it took me 5 seconds to open the dialer or the Contacts app.

IMO, I hope that never happens. People will buy cheap Android phones and expect the same level of awesomeness as they see on higher end ones. That's disappointing. Maybe we need a stripped down light weight version of Android for those phones :-)

@ ravi.chhabra,
@ Finished testing by putting mangal.ttf as DroidSansFallback.ttf into /system/fonts/

did you changed the font files in the emulator? i am trying to do it in the emulator, but unsuccesful.
can you please share the mangal.ttf file with us. So that it will be useful to test.

@pratulka...@gmail.com
@kitallis

Can you post the libwebcore.so libskiagl.so libskia.so files. They are in the /system/lib folder. There is method to get Arabic support by replacing those from a device which has full Arabic support.

Moore's law is relentless. What is slow for you may be ok for me.

Please support Hindi Fonts in Android. There are a lot of people in India.

Hi,

I am Samsung's 'Galaxy S' mobile phone user, it has Android 2.1 OS. I am looking for Indian Font (specially Hindi) in it. Please tell me how to set Hindi Fonts in Galaxy S.
Thanks...

Hi , the complext text rendering will be supported in "HoneyComb" release. As quoted by android framework engineer. This will hopefully will resolve all the indian language support issues.

Check this link for more details
http://groups.google.com/group/android-platform/browse_thread/thread/3dc8d17daf955348/9bd1799a0f5fcd6d?#9bd1799a0f5fcd6d

Hi,

I'm a Sri Lankan Sinhalese & an Android app developer. In my opinion we can't wait until Android officailly supports our Indic scripts. Therefore I developed the SETT Browser, a mobile web browser for Android which can render & display Sinhala & Tamil unicode web text.

SETT Browser: http://code.google.com/p/sett-browser/

This is an open-source app & I developed this only for Sinhala & Tamil Indic scripts since I've no language knowledge about the other Indic scripts such as Hindi. But if anyone of you can help me, I'm ready to extend the language support of the SETT Browser to support Hindi as well.

You can contact me via mail: dhanikaperera[at]gmail[dot]com

Thanks!

Dhani is right. We should not wait. Google has *not* said Indic will be supported in 3.0, they just said 3.0 will include harfbuzz which are two entirely different things. As for me I prefer to put the support into the OS rather than write an app that supports it. We can do what was done for Arabic. As we lack a place to meet and share what we have I will update our progress on Burmese (Myanmar) shaping here. Currently we have written a shaper similar to Better Arabic Reshaper and have hooked it to dratText() in Canvas.java. Canvas.java is in:

/frameworks/base/graphics/java/android/graphics

That is for the framework. Webkit has to be done separately. Also we have not been told if Harfbuzz-ng will be back ported to 2.3 (not that it matters, since Harfbuzz-ng doesn't support indic anyway). Once I am done with Burmese, I can work on Hindi and Punjabi.

I was also searching why p500 [2.2]was not showing hindi fonts in web pages  and contact names. But in  English hindi  dictionaarry hindi fonts were displayed.

@ravi

I think it is better to start a group for this. What you are saying is true. Even android 2.4 does support complex text existing users can not use it without an OS update. In case like x10 that won't happen. So I also think it is better to start a group to discuss what we have found and work as a team.

Mr. Google, if Samsung can provide Hindi support in their Galaxy series phones, why can't you do this for Android?

Please provide Hindi support ASAP.

Yes, I am looking for Google to address this issue.
It would be better if Google could work out an independent Hindi keyboard which could be installed on any version of Android. similar to http://www.eyron.com/'s keyboard for Hindi.

I m also unable to watch hindi font on p500 optimus. pls help.

I am just a user with verylittle knowledge of how fonts are displayed, if a
small application can show hindi fonts then i dont know why they are not
being displayed in contacts and native android browser. Android devs need to
answer why hindi support not given!!!  I hope indians at google are
listening

Once v hav a good android market everything wuld becum stable!

Very Nice initiatives @Dhani and @Ravi, I love that spirit.
Although I am just an application developer as of now, I would love to help in any way possible.
Keep it up, guys!

@Shekh
Thanks a lot for your appreciation! (BTW my name is Dhanika Perera)
I've started working on extending the language support of SETT Browser to support other Indic scripts with the help of @Sandeep. First I'll work on Hindi as it is the widely used one.
Will let you all know once I released the Hindi rendering supported SETT Browser.
Regards from Sri Lanka! :)

Yes, I would request Google to address this issue ASAP.
It would be better if Google provides both the Inscript and Phonetic Hindi keyboards which could be installed on any version of Android.

Please fix this issue...

Please fix all Hindi/Indian language related issues. Guys, which world you are living in?

ravikant

Really full of pain! pl fix the issue!
Ravikant jee is right not only for Hindi but for all Indian language!

rajesh

If sony ericsson can do that in their latest update to xperia x10! why not google???
In the latest update to xperia versions, SE included support for devanagiri font rendering!!! I can see hindi fonts in all applications and it is proper!
and my xperia is running on android 2.1!

shame on google!!!

The need is much! People are puttng so many comments from mobile and they are unable to write comments! No input! Disgusting!

When the wait will be over! Becoming a perennial question! Please fix the issue asap!

please provide hindi support

U know what no one cares what India wants. Better we should develop the apps ourselves..

YIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE


I am using SAMSUNG GALAXY 5
and it has Android 2.1 and Hindi Font Preinstalled

BUT WHEN I UPDATE IT TO ANDROID 2.2
HINDI FONT DELETED

i rooted it and download DroidHindi.ttf
http://www.mediafire.com/?s6mehiwlw7zp7r7

and put DroidHindi.ttf as DroidSansFallback.ttf into /system/fonts/

Restarted it !!!

and it works

Well, anyone can root their phones and install it that way, but I suppose we're looking for a solution from Google so that when we create apps using hindi/other languages, which will be running on thousands of phones, not just rooted ones, then the users can use them well.

I don't find it a solution.

Hindi (devnagari) support will be highly appreciated. I am unable to browse many hindi websites currently and so are millions of users.

i have galaxy s preinstalled android 2.1... no hindi support, then upgraded to android 2.2 through kies.... was able to see hindi fonts in web browser like navbharattimes.com, webdunia.com, google news... etc.... but with the froyo (2.2) update the phone was laggy and unstable... so chose custom ROMs, tried Darky's and Doc Roms... but no support for hindi fonts!!! in google news all except indian languages are displayed!!!! Hope google/samsung/smart people like Pratulkkalia, Dhanika Ravi will succeed in displaying indian languages, Smart people Wish you all the best!!!

how to replace the font which is in system folder. myfiles does not show system files? File expert shows but does not replace? dual file and ghost file managers do not show system folders?? help!

@Comment 60 by susheeln...@gmail.com, Mar 10, 2011
If you know how to use adb, here is how you replace the font (dont forget to take backup of existing font - mentioned below):

----> to copy into phone/device
adb remount
adb push DroidSansFallback.ttf /system/fonts/

before doing this, it's better you take backup of existing font in the system folder which you can do by issuing pull instead of push as following:

----> to copy from phone/device (backup)
adb pull /system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf

Required Hindi Support for SMS as well.

Android can read hindi webpage click here http://android-bucket.blogspot.com/2011/04/android-can-read-hindi-font.html

Dear Google,
I had an x10i with 2.1 eclair, installed on it. It used to display Hindi fonts beautifully. but now i am using galaxy s (2.2 Froyo) and it does not display hindi fonts. I dont wish to root the phone..
We Indians are 1.2 billion. 16% of world population.. and still hindi is not supported. thats shame. Even the apple which does not have their office in India yet gives the hindi support.
Please add this to my wishlist * 1.2 billion times :)

I bought samsung galaxy I5003 few days back and it was rendering hindi perfactly. Few days back i upgraded it to froyo GT I5000 as i wasnt able to see hindi fonts so I replaced DroidSansFallback.ttf  with DroidHindi.ttf (/system/fonts  folder ) downloaded from here itself. Now I am able to see hindi fonts but they are not rendered properly as earlier (I mean some problem with मात्रा, विशर्ग, हलन्त). As i dont have the original 2.1 eclair firmware i cant get the original ttf file which came with samsung . If someone is having then plz provide that ttf file. I am sure it will solve my problem.

Now Android is Hindi enabled. Read this post.
http://sahibaat.blogspot.com/2011/05/blog-post.html

@kajal,
Android is not Hindi enabled. The link you gave just shows that a particular variant of Sony Ericsson phone can display Hindi correctly. We already know that, and we know that the Samsung Galaxy 5 and Galaxy 3 phones sold in India can display Hindi fonts. We want Official support, not vendor fragmentations.

@avinash
I am afraid it is not the ttf file, but the Firmware. You will need the correct firmware that can display Hindi. I don't know where that is available.

Yes, many languages like Hindi, Arabic, Tamil aren't available officially
from Android, despite of being in the list of supported languages.

Some devices like Samsung Galaxy 3 has hindi as a language, its 2.2 update
supports Arabic too.
But this is something we can't rely on.
Consider your hindi application running on the devices that don't support
hindi!

It's extremely unfortunate and disgusting that Android has ignored Hindi compatibility for Gingerbread 2.3.3 .... how can they be ignorant about the fact that every Sixth person in the world is an Indian and directly being affeceted by the Indic language portability in the morden mobiles or electronic gadgets! After long wait of at least seven months, I purchaged a Samsung Galaxy S2 on 5th June 2011. Its a Gingerbread OS 2.3.3 phone. But I got shocked to know that it doesn't have Devnagri compatibility. I tag it a slap on the face of Indians specially those Hindustanies who are working with Google or Android or even Samsung! Shame-Shame!
Indian languages are not in the list but there are many others are there which is hardly a language of few million people! Clearly a pathetic approach has been adopted against 121 billion people!
Only remady to this issue would be the IMMEDIATE upgradation of the OS 2.3.3...!
MAY THE GOOD SENSE PREVAIL..!

Android at the heart is Linux. But it is striped down Linux. Hence the packages that Linux has for rendering Hindi and other complex scripts is not present in Android. They can include Pango, which on Linux is being phased out in favor of Harfbuzz. But Pango is too heavy for a Mobile OS. Hence they want to include Harfbuzz (and has done so on Honeycomb). But Harfbuzz is still for from being complete, partly because the person maintaining Harfbuzz was working for RedHat. He is now working for Google (more than a year already). Google now more or less 'owns' the technology that renders complex scripts, they were just sitting on it doing nothing. Doing nothing as Symbian and Meego were still a threat which could benefit from the work of HarfBuzz. Hence Google just was not pushing Harfbuzz enough in fear that Nokia which also uses Harfbuzz will gain from it! The Ironies of the Open Source world. But this factor should not longer be a threat as Nokia has abandoned Symbian. So we can be sure that we will see something soon. But if you are on Gingerbread, just forget it. It will never come as minor updates just don't work that way. Even if it did, your Handset Vendor will not bake a new firmware for every minor update from Google.

@Ravi
Thats a very useful update. Thanks.

hindi fonts:- thanks to opera for his solution in opera mini, only in operaq mini hindi fonts are properly rendered. Go to opera:config last option, tick yes to complex scripts and then shows hindi fonts properly.

it's OK to see hindi fonts in opera but what about input in hindi.
if i want to search योग or ताजमहल in Hindi, how i can do it.
And when android is Unicode based system why Hindi rendering is not there.
we do not want patchwork. we want hasslefree Hindi on android.

@Comment 75 by susheeln...@gmail.com

the solution is not through font rendering.
it shows the hindi or any complex scripy fonts in bitmap fonts........i.e. in image form.

you can check it !

Opera displays hindi pretty well.this doesn't help for those translation apps. I stumbled on this font apk for my samsung galaxy that displays hindi font pretty well except conjunct letters .

Need Hindi Support

I am using HTC desire HD
Looking for same

I am using HTC desire s and it doesn't support Hindi font.
Need update to support Hindi font.

We would luv to have Hindi Lang.

love to see this in my S2 and XCD35..

i would love to have hindi and other indian language.

ऊपर लिखी हुई सभी टिप्पणियां पढने के बाद केवल निराशा के चलते मुझे यह कहना पड रहा है. स्मार्ट फ़ोन्स में हिन्दी इनपुट देने के लिए मैंने नोकिया के साथ भी काफ़ी अनुवर्ती प्रयास किया, लेकिन वे सभी कंपनियां यदि भारतीय ग्राहक का मत दुर्लक्षणीय ही मानती हैं तो और क्या किया जाए?

कौन्तेय मैं आपसे सहमत हूँ। यह विदेशी कम्पनियाँ हम भारतीय ग्राहकों की अवहेलना करने से घबराती नहीं हैं क्योंकि हम कुछ कहते ही नहीं और अपनी राय जताते ही नहीं। जब हम ही अपनी मातृ भाषा हिंदी को महत्व नहीं देते तो फिर यह गोरे क्यों देंगे।

बात बिलकुल सही कही तुम लोगो ने. जब तक हम सब मिलकर इन लोगो के ऊपर दबाव नहीं
डालेंगे कुछ ज्यादा नहीं होगा. अपने facebook और गूगल+ में लोगो को उकसाना
जरूरी हैं ताकि लोग यहाँ आकर वोते करे और इस बात पर लोगो ध्यान लाये.

मित्रों,
मैंने TRAI वेबसाइट पर जा कर अपनी शिकायत दी है. आप भी अपनी तरफ़ से दर्ज करें यह बिनति है. मुझे लगता है कि जहां मैंने ये पोस्ट दिया है वह शायद जालघर के बारे में टिप्पणियां देने की जगह भी हो सकती है. लेकिन यदि उन्हें ५०० समान विषय की शिकायतें मिलेंगी तो उन्हें उसपर विचार तो करना ही होगा.

"All the mobile phone mfrs in India do not offer Indian languages on their handsets. While the 'cheaper' phones can deliver Indic input & reading, why the so-called 'smart phones' should not?
Every internet forum is filled with these complaints, but the phone mfrs refuse to take notice.
I think its time TRAI steps in & tell all the phone makers wanting to do business in India to offer Indic scripts on all their phones or simply get out!
Its time India stands for herself."

TRAI का लिंक सीधे नहीं चलता. कृपया होम पर जाकर दायीं ओर feedback की और जाए

Guys,

This forum is not maintained by phone manufacturers. It for the peolp who develop the android os. And be nice, cause ur getting something for free from these guys. You can request for a new feature. U have no rights to demand them. And fyi kaunteya ur trai has no control here and stop acting smart.

If u really want ro get this moving try contributing to the android project. If ur a developer help on some of the bugs or if ur not u can help by testing neq releases. Else just shut ur mouth.

Android 3.2 is out and still all I see is those damn square boxes. Indians got snubbed again.

@Kaunteya
Not sure if TRAI has any control to dictate manufacturing requirements but that doesn't mean it cannot. Its a good idea. I'll write a general complaint to TRAI and Ministry of Communications & Information Technology.

@Ramkumar1985
Whoa... demanding someone to be nice and shut up is very nice of you. Kaunteya or for that matter everyone has Free Speech. Its not your prerogative to tell him what to do. We are all here for our love for Hindi language and we are all free to do whatever we deem fit, legally, to get what we want. Please be civil.

Secondly, you are ignorant if you think Android OS is free. Have you heard of patent royalty fees? If not, search the term.

Thirdly, similar thread on Arabic language had over 5000 votes within couple of months of its creation in 2010 and Arabic language support was added by next release. That's the power of "demanding". Compared to original defect on Hindi that was created way back in 2008 and was prematurely closed by Android team. And the issue is still lingering on.

Take it easy.

@prateeka
That is very much true. I agree with everything you hav said. Even i have an interest to see hindi fonts in my phone and thats y i am here and subscribed to this issue. its just the way he asked. You can request. You cannot order. Or he can ask his friends to vote for this issue so it gets more priority. Just a more than a hundred votes for this issue compared to the 5000 for arabic. That says it all.

@Ramkumar1985
If google didnt want anyone to demand, they wont add that feature in the
system. Even people raising their voice here in the group is doing
something. Lot of them not doing anything and if some people are here,
discouraging others is not the right thing to do.

I have also written to TRAI and they can certainly put minimum requirements
in place for devices to be sold in India irrespective of where it is
manufactured.

Please provide Hindi (Indic) Language support in Android. There are thousands of Android developer from India, still no one looking into this issue in Google. If google has any issue, please discuss it in any forum, we are ready to help.

Please provide hindi support in Android, this is the only barrier for an Apple user like me to move towards Android.

I m using samsung galaxy s,2.3 version which is not supporting hindi font,very sad.it must b cleared !

@jitu so true!
@s..biois: unfortunately there are couple of companies like htc which are adamant and not providing support to indic fonts. In SonyEricsson and Samsung devices we can view hindi/marathi script. This is the reason we want android to support at least our national language by default.
@chanchal: SGS 2.3 latest version i.e. ddjv9 supports hindi font.

GOOD
