yesterday I bought my SW2 in KSA, and I found that all it's apps doesn't support Arabic, which I knew and after a small search some people said it's related to Sony API, but after a while I noticed that Sony call handling app support arabic very well, does this mean it's not related to the API or is it apps problem or what? how a Sony app can handle Arabic and another one can't if they are in the same frameware?
P.S. I'm on the latest update frameware and apps are updated.
I will give a list of apps that support arabic on smartwatch 2as i know !!

Arabic works good on some apps cuz it works with control api, I've noticed that apps with control api depends on the device you're connected to. for example, when I try some apps on my Xperia mini pro with small screen, apps on the sw looks with smaller font than when I use it on xperia tablet z with huge screen. Also when I installed cm11 on my mini pro, the font in Arabic changed cuz kitkat arabic font is different than arabic font on ICS.
Other wise on apps with notification api it doesn't matter what is your device, it only get the notification and show it on the smartwatch with its own system and with its own language, and the Sony smartwatch hasn't arabic on its system as a result it can't understand arabic.
So the only way to make notification api works with arabic is waiting for sony to make an update that has arabic support.
thanks for your explanation, but how could I know what API the app is using, and can we patch (I don't know if it is called patch) the smartwatch 2 to add Arabic, and finally is this the same issue on the smart Headset problem with Arabic, some apps there support Arabic and others not?
Apps with notification api is the apps that only show you a list of notifications when open it, it's also the apps that can work without need to be connected to the phone -except original apps "alarm, stopwatch..."-
Examples: Facebook, Twitter, messaging, email
Apps with control api show you a progress before launch and it doesn't work at all without connection to the phone.
Examples: phone, weather, music
For now I don't know anyway to make arabic work else waiting for an update from Sony
For the smart headset, I'm not sure but I think that the same thing will happen on MW1 cuz it has control and notification api. But on SBH50 and SBH52 arabic will not work at all cuz they has only notification api
Changing Font affects directly on the watch for apps that support the Arabic languag.

Ok guys, I have bad news for you...
I've asked xperia care and here's the answer:
I've asked xperia care and here's the answer:
"There will no update" reminds me of "All your base are belong"...Looks like original japanese, I guess the message is authentic.

I don't know, but I don't think it's something hard to do
Is there an email to contact sony mobile developers not xperia care?
maybe this will help

i found the solution by using "Augmented smartwatch pro". there is a trial. find it in the market and in the description you can trial it.
not sure
yesterday I visited Sony on my city, and I was only asking about a fix for the Arabic problem and they told me there is some talking about a near future update to fix this in the sales department, but I don't know about this>>> how about you guys???

Sony are liers and never listen to customers.
your SW2 is merely a time killer until sw3 comes out.
Problem Solved in the Last Update, Thanks everyone, thanks Sony
