Languager - Language Spoofing Xposed Module

Overview

Languager is an Xposed module that allows you to change the language of specific Android applications, without changing your system language. This is particularly useful against apps that enforce system language settings or buggy apps that fail to show the selected language from app’s settings.

Features

• Per-App Language Selection: Choose a different language for each app independently
• Comprehensive Language Support: 26+ languages available including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, and many more
• User-Friendly Interface: Easy-to-use UI with app search functionality and intuitive language selection
• Wide Compatibility: Works on Android 5.0+ (API 21+) with support for both older and newer Android versions
• Efficient Hooking Mechanism: Hooks all locale-related methods to ensure complete language spoofing

Technical Details

• Language Spoofing Mechanism:

  • Uses Xposed framework for comprehensive method hooking
  • Targets all locale-related methods across different API levels:
    • Configuration.getLocales() (API 24+)
    • Configuration.getLocale() (API < 24)
    • Configuration.locale property
    • Resources.getConfiguration().locale
    • Locale.getDefault()
    • Locale.getDefault(Category) (API 24+)
    • LocaleList.getDefault() (API 24+)
    • LocaleList.getAdjustedDefault() (API 24+)
  • Dynamically replaces system locale with user-selected language
  • Handles API differences between Android versions

• Shared Preferences:

  • Uses XSharedPreferences for cross-process configuration storage
  • Implements world-readable preferences for Xposed module access
  • Direct key-value storage for app-language mappings
