Develop Multilingual Android Application (Hindi)
Hello Guys , how are you today? Hope you will be fine.
Have you ever wondered how to write in Hindi or any other language in Android. In this tutorial we are going to see how to develop multilingual android application.
1) First of all, create an Android Application Project.
2) Next go to "res/layout/activity_main.xml" and create a TextView there. The code looks like
activity_main.xml
3) Now you need to download the font file of the language you wish to use. For our case its hindi, so i downloaded the "Mangal.ttf" file. You can google for your respective font file.
4) After downloading the font file save it in "assets/font/font_file.ttf" .
5) Next go to "src/your_package_name/MainActivity.java" and paste the below code.
Note - You can download and use google input tools for converting english to your respective languages. In our case it was Hindi so i used hindi.
Now we are done. Post your questions in the comment. I will be happy to answer those.

Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "font/Mangal.ttf");
//TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.yourtextview);
text.setTypeface(tf);
text.setText("यह एक अच्छा एप्लीकेशन है | इ लव इट |");
