Installing Russian using a computer
If none of these methods help, try making the settings using your computer and the ADB program. It serves as an addition to MoreLocale 2. If you were unable to change the language using MoreLocale 2, then this option is for you. You must first install the drivers for your tablet or phone, and then enable USB debugging mode.
To install Russian using ADB, follow the following instructions.
The Android operating system can work in many languages, including Russian. And each user can instantly select the desired language in the settings of their device - there is nothing complicated about it. Russification is present on the vast majority of tablets and smartphones, but sometimes people are faced with its absence. How to Russify Android and what is needed for this? Let's try to go from the easiest way to the most difficult.
In what case do you need to translate your phone into Russian?
Most often, the phone initially works in a foreign language if it was purchased abroad. However, there are cases when it is necessary to change the language even on devices that were purchased at official retail in a Russian store.
Changing the language interface is necessary to increase the comfort of using the device. No special skills are required to make the changes. If necessary, the phone can always be returned to factory settings.
Keyboard languages
If we have dealt with the first problem, then we can move on to the second - how to change the language on the tablet keyboard? We will also try to solve other problems with layouts on your device.
iOS
When you are about to type text, a special touch panel appears on the screen. And in order to switch the language on the keyboard, just press the key with the image of a globe. But what if it’s not there? This means that no other packages have been added to the set. This problem is easily solved as follows:
- Go to the settings menu, then to “General”;
- Select the “Keyboards” tab. Here you can configure the necessary parameters as desired;
- To install new packages, click on the “Keyboards” item. As you can see, you only have one. Select the “New Keyboards” item, with which you can add, for example, English. By the way, you can immediately enable emoji emoticons. To do this, simply select the “Emoji” language from the list. That's all.
Also in the current setting you can control the order in which the language layout is changed. To do this, simply click on the word “Edit” in the upper right corner and drag the necessary ones in order with your finger or delete the unnecessary ones. This will speed up typing if you use several languages in one text.
Quick Russification of Android through the settings menu
Another simple way to Russify Android firmware is to go into its settings. Let's assume that at the moment all the inscriptions are displayed in English, and not in Chinese, since it will be very difficult to understand the hieroglyphs. First, let's check whether the Russian language is available in the system at all, and whether it is available for selection. This is done very easily - go to “Settings – Language and input – Language”, look for the Russian language in the list that opens (all the inscriptions here are made in your own language).
If the Russian language is still available, feel free to select it, wait a few seconds and enjoy complete Russification. Next, you just have to select a keyboard with the ability to enter Russian. If there is no suitable keyboard in the list, download it from the Play Market application store
(after all, we don’t have an iPhone in our hands, so we can easily change applications with keyboards). We recommend choosing Russian Keyboard from the developer GameWarrior.
Does your Android device speak a language you don't know? Then you can find the “Settings” item by the characteristic label with an asterisk. In order to find the “Language and Input” item, try using some online dictionary - this is the easiest way to find the item you need.
Example for Samsung brand devices
The method for this manufacturer is almost identical, with the exception that you need to go to other menu items. To change the language in Android OS on a Samsung tablet or phone, follow these steps:
Now you can freely use your Android gadget. For other brands of phones, the instructions are almost identical. You need to go to general settings, find the menu responsible for the language (usually it has a pencil or letter icon), and change it on your tablet or phone.
One caveat before Russification begins
Of course, experienced users have already checked the presence of the Russian language on their new smartphone. On the other hand, quite often there are situations when people are afraid of English sentences when they first start the phone, naively believing that the phone is not Russified.
In order to check the availability of the Russian language on Android, go to the phone settings and find the item called “Language & Keyboard”. Next, a menu will open in which you can configure the language of the system and built-in keyboard. Now we are only interested in the first function, so we go to the “Select language” tab and scour the list that opens in the hope of finding our treasured native language. If the “Russian” item is not there, this article will definitely be useful to you. Next we move directly to Russification.

Using the MoreLocale 2 cracker
There are not as many localizers on Google Play as we would like. One of them is MoreLocale 2. The application is free and compatible with a huge number of devices. In fact, it contains all those language packs that are present in the Android operating system by default, before the influence of the Chinese manufacturer on it.
First you need to install this program. After this, do the following:
Step 1. Activate the “For Developers” settings section. Our recent article already wrote about how to do this. In the case of the English version of the operating system, you first need to go to “Settings”.
Step 2. Next, click on the “About Phone” item.
Step 3. Here tap about 7-10 times on the “Build Number” item. This will enable developer permissions and will be notified by the “You are now a developer” pop-up notification.
Step 4: Press the Back key. Proceed to the newly appeared “Developer Options” section.
Step 5. Here you need to activate the checkbox next to the “USB Debugging” item, thereby enabling USB debugging mode.
Step 6. Now you will need the archive with the ADB executive file. Download and extract it to the root of the C drive of your computer.
Please note that the versions for Windows XP and subsequent versions of this operating system are different!
Step 7. Connect your device to your computer using a USB cable. Next, launch the command prompt. To do this, open the Start menu and enter “adb” (without quotes) into the search field, left-clicking on the result that appears.
Step 8: Type the following into the command prompt: cd c:ADB. Press Enter.
Step 9. Type the command “adb devices” and then press Enter. This will show you the code name of the device connected to your computer. If the system cannot detect the smartphone, then something went wrong - it is quite possible that you are using a low-quality cable.
Step 10. Enter the following commands in order:
Please note: the command line does not support the copy function. In this regard, you will have to enter all the text manually.
Step 11. Disconnect your smartphone from your computer and open MoreLocale 2.
Step 12. Find “Russian” in the list of languages. Click on this item.
The system will be automatically localized. Your actions are now complete!
Russification of Android 4.2 and later versions
The above method will not help if your smartphone/tablet is running Android 4.2 or higher operating system. We'll have to act in a different way. In order to translate Android into Russian, you need to download the ADB program and the ADB drivers corresponding to the device. First, install the drivers, then install the program (don’t forget the path, for example, D:ADB).
Next, pick up your smartphone/tablet, go to “Settings – Developer options” and turn on the “USB debugging” mode. In Russian, we went to “Settings – Developer Options” and enabled USB debugging. If you don’t have the “Developer options” item, go to “About device” and find the “Build Number” item there and tap on it about 10 times - an inscription will appear notifying you that the desired item is activated.
Now we connect the phone to the computer, open the Windows console, enter the command cd D:ADB in it, after which we enter the following command adb devices - the program will start and recognize the connected device. Finally, enter the long command adb shell pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION, reboot and try the method described for Android 4.1 and below.
When describing this technique, we assume that your device operates in English. If it works in some other language, try switching to English.
Russification of Android keyboards only
Some users are ready to come to terms with the fact that the firmware of their device or the interface of some programs does not have Russian localization, but they need at least Russification of the on-screen keyboard. After all, typing texts, communicating on social networks, sending messages, etc. Latin letters are at least unreadable for those who will receive these messages. For such users, the solution may be to simply install a keyboard with Russian language support on the system. There are a huge variety of similar keyboards for Android, because, in fact, a keyboard is a regular program that you can download and install on your phone or tablet.
“Language & keyboard” and check the box next to the keyboard that we just installed. If necessary, you can click on the name of this keyboard and make the desired program settings in the list of parameters that appears. Now you can type texts in any applications in Russian.
The most common problems when switching languages and how to solve them
There are a number of problems that people face most often. To eliminate them, it is recommended to use the table:

How to change the language on your phone using apps
The use of special applications is required if the Russian language is not built into the smartphone. In this case, you can use separate utilities for Russification. To change the language interface of a phone based on Android OS, you can use the MoreLocale 2 program.
After installation, you need to log into the application. It will display all available options for changing the language display. You will need to find the “Russian” option and click on it. After this, Russification of the phone will begin.
There are also other apps, but many of them require superuser rights (root rights), so they are not suitable for a person who is not well versed with smartphones.
Changing the interface using MoreLocale 2 is the preferred solution. The application allows you to Russify tablets and phones that have firmware for the Chinese region installed.
How to avoid purchasing a phone without Russian
It is impossible to purchase a phone that has passed PCT certification and does not have a Russian language. Problems may arise if a person orders a device from foreign stores. To avoid the need to carry out Russification using the application or reflash the smartphone, it is recommended to choose models with global firmware. Almost all languages of the world are installed in such devices.
Before purchasing a product through foreign online stores, you need to check with the seller what firmware is installed in the device.
Russification of the keyboard
Interestingly, after changing the system language, absolutely nothing will change in the virtual keyboard. If English and Chinese were previously offered there, they will remain the same after Android localization. Fortunately, setting the Russian language for the keyboard is much easier than for the system itself. Especially after Google made its keyboard a separate application, allowing it to be downloaded from the online store.
Download Google Keyboard
.
Now go to Settings
" and visit the "
Language and input
" item.
Here click on Google Keyboard
».
Check the languages you need. Or activate the “ System language”
"if Android is already Russified.
That's it, the Russification of the keyboard is complete! Of course, in exactly the same way you can enable the Russian language on any other virtual keyboard, if it supports it (some of them only have a Latin layout).
Most mobile phones and tablets with the Android operating system sold on our market already have Russification built into the firmware. Even in Chinese smartphones from second-tier companies, their manufacturers are trying to localize the interface of the system and installed programs, including into Russian. Unfortunately, in practice there are still cases when a phone or tablet from a little-known company ordered from China comes with firmware in which the Chinese language is installed, and in the best case it can be changed to English or one of the most common Western European languages. For some users who are fluent in foreign languages, this may not seem like a problem. But we think that most buyers would like to install their native language on their device and enjoy all its advantages.
Today we will tell you, dear readers, how to translate your Android into Russian. If you are one of the owners of the above-mentioned mobile or tablet with an unfriendly interface, this article is written for you.
