Android Question Multilingual UIs

[Duminda]

I need help on building multilingual UIs, could you direct me to a place/document I can see a sample or get started with it? Languages I am interested are Asian languages.i.e. Tamil , Sinhalese

Thanks Erel, When I check the language settings on my phone, I don't see the languages (Locales) I am targeting. I am new to the Android development (but I have lots of experience in programming using VB) I just like to know how to enable those Asian (Sinhala, Tamil) languages on the phone and if there are any limitations. e.g. like to know whether we could package our application with a font/fonts in case those are not supported or installed on the target phone.

You do not need to enable the languages in the settings.

If the system font might not support the language then it is better to include your own font files and use them instead.

Thanks, could you point me to a sample where I can learn how to include my own font (.ttf) within a project and use that?
