First of all, good news: In the best-selling brands and models in Euskal Herria in the last two years, almost all of them can establish Euskera as the main language. In some models, besides implanting the Basque language as a first language, you will have the option of choosing a second language (for example, if the Spanish is 2, as Whatsapp is not in Basque, in that second language this particular application will appear). We then analyzed the casuistry.
On the one hand, regardless of your model, when you download the Lehen Hitza Euskaraz app, he will guide you with the procedure to translate the phone to the Basque. View on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eus.domeinuak.lehenhitzaeuskaraz
Moreover, if your model is relatively new, from the last two years, we have reviewed the statistics of the Basque Country and it would be normal for these brands to be: Be Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, Realme or Vivo. All of them can be translated into Basque, here are the instructions.
Samsung. You can choose the first and second languages.
Xiaomi. On these phones you can choose the first language, the only one.
Oppo and Realme. These brands are manufactured by the same house, some being more suitable. They also have the same system, but depending on whether they have Android 10 or Android 11 going on, we have to configure them differently. In some cases, one language can be established by default, in another two. Therefore:
I live. In this other fashion brand you can also set two languages.
These explanations will also be found in the form of video tutorial here.
Can't you put yourself in Basque?
It is possible that your phone model cannot be translated, as it does not enter the previous casuistic or for some other reason. We're sorry. You will stay out of the draw in this promotional activity... We recommend that, when purchasing the next mobile, you consult www.lehenhitza.eus/mugikorrak/ the models that can be put in Basque. We also believe that the best-known models sold in 2021 already offer the possibility to do so (e.g. in all brands mentioned above).
