How To Set Arabic Language As Locale

I'm working on text to speech conversion. For this, I got the example from the internet. In this they set the English language by setLanguage(Locale.US);. So, now I'm trying to set

Solution 1:

In recent reference, Locale has information of language/country code which are suitable in ISO 639-1/ISO 3166-1.

ISO 639-1 is two-letter lowercase language code. Arabic is defined ar in this format.

So, try this code:

Localeloc=newLocale("ar");
/*  under API 20 */
tts.setLanguage(loc);

/* over API 21 */StringvoiceName= loc.toLanguageTag();
Voicevoice=newVoice(voiceName, loc, Voice.QUALITY_HIGH, Voice.LATENCY_HIGH, false, null);
tts.setVoice(voice);

Also, TextToSpeech service that you used must support Arabic if you want to listen Arabic voice. Check it first.

Note:

Android Locale reference: https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Locale.html

ISO 639-1 code reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes

Solution 2:

Localelocale=newLocale("ru");
Locale.setDefault(locale);
Configurationconfig=newConfiguration();
config.locale = locale;
getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config,
getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
