Android Change language of speech to text to Japanese not working
<p>Hi I'm making a Japanese learning app for android. One of the features is to speak to the app in Japanese to check if you are saying words correctly. I got it working with <code>promptSpeechInput</code> but I did not like the <code>ui</code> getting in the way so I decided to go another rout and have my Fragment implement <code>RecognitionListener</code>. For some reason now Japanese is not working and it shows English words. I'm not sure what's wrong.</p>

<p>Here is my code for my Speech Fragment</p>

<pre><code>public class SpeechFragment extends Fragment implements RecognitionListener {

private TextView textViewInput;
private ToggleButton buttonSpeak;
private SpeechRecognizer speech = null;
private Intent recognizerIntent;

public SpeechFragment() {
    // Required empty public constructor
}


@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // Inflate the layout for this fragment
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_speech, container, false);


    speech = SpeechRecognizer.createSpeechRecognizer(this.getContext());
    speech.setRecognitionListener(this);

    recognizerIntent = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH);
    Intent intent = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH);
    intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL,RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM);
    intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE, Locale.JAPANESE);
    recognizerIntent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_MAX_RESULTS, 3);



    textViewInput = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.textViewInput);
    buttonSpeak = (ToggleButton) view.findViewById(R.id.buttonSpeak);
    buttonSpeak.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {

        @Override
        public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView,
                                     boolean isChecked) {
            if (isChecked) {
                speech.startListening(recognizerIntent);
            } else {
                speech.stopListening();
            }
        }
    });

return view;

}

@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
}

@Override
public void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    if (speech != null) {
        speech.destroy();
    }

}

@Override
public void onBeginningOfSpeech() {
    textViewInput.setText("Speak");
}

@Override
public void onBufferReceived(byte[] buffer) {
      }

@Override
public void onEndOfSpeech() {
    buttonSpeak.setChecked(false);
}

@Override
public void onError(int errorCode) {
    String errorMessage = getErrorText(errorCode);
    textViewInput.setText(errorMessage);
    buttonSpeak.setChecked(false);
}

}

@Override
public void onResults(Bundle results) {
    ArrayList&lt;String&gt; matches = results
            .getStringArrayList(SpeechRecognizer.RESULTS_RECOGNITION);
    String text = "";
    for (String result : matches)
        text += result + "\n";

    textViewInput.setText(text);
}

@Override
public void onRmsChanged(float rmsdB) {
}

public static String getErrorText(int errorCode) {
    String message;
    switch (errorCode) {
        case SpeechRecognizer.ERROR_AUDIO:
            message = "Audio recording error";
            break;

            message = "RecognitionService busy";
            break;
