I live in Germany but have very basic kowledge of the German language. So when I recently received the new Xperia Xi from T-mobile (under contract), I was shocked to find out that I could not change to English language. Both T-Mobile and SE do not want to help. Incredible. I was browsing the internet for some solution and encountered this forum. I saw some threads on the subject, and the solution seems to change some ROM thing (yeah, I have no idea!). However read some desperate messages s.a. phone got jammed etc. Any way got cofused and could not follow. So I have made this new thread JUST FOR GERMAN T-MOBILE. Can some kind member kindly lists down step by step instructions (with files, or links to files) on how the beat the system and change the language from German to English? Thanks help!
Hey
In German or English??
Ok....the only solution i know is to wait for an update.....they want to release it this year...if u download the upgrade manager u can select the language for the update maybe u get an english rom if u select that language...
Thanks reply. Yes its in German and want to change it to English. Your solution makes sense but I read somewhere that the English update would not work as the ROM has to be changed to English first. So not sure.
Debrand your Device with english language
look at this, you can debrand your device to an other language using this link...

Hello all.
Excuse me for bad English.
I have bought PDA in France, but Windows it has appeared on french language. Advise please as it is possible to change language of system. I think, that it is necessary to change ROM. Where I can download? I shall be grateful for the reference to the instruction on change ROM.

I received the HTC TyTN as a gift, but its a Russian ROM. I cannot speak or read Russian well enough to use the unit correctly. I would like to change it into an English "speaking" (menu, etc) device.
Can anyone here help me please! Thanks in advance
Read mrvanx's upgrading guide and you can flash any of the available WWE(World-Wide English) ROMs here. When all else fails, read the wiki
Updater tool...
Thanks your reply. I have read both the Wiki and Mrmanx, both informative. However I cannot find (excuse me if I am lame) the specific advice for replacing the hard Russian language ROM with a hard English languare one. Is it there? Sorry, but I am not very good at this stuff. Thanks

The ROM itself is english. It will take care of everything for you.
Just pick an English (WWE) Rom and reflash to your heart's content.
Hello,
I have one Woxter Pocket PC - This one but I have a problem - it's in Spanish and I cannot find a way to make it in English, because I am from Bulgaria and I don't speak Spanish, so it's hell of a problem . I was wondering if there's a way to make it in English I mean - the whole Windows mobile not only some menus but everything, I download from somewhere other language packages for Russian and so on but they do not translated the OS at 100% and tones of menus disappeared. I am considering another option - to reinstall the Pocket PC because a friend of mine gave me some version of Windows Mobile 6 (he said that he had downloaded it from somewhere).
So the Question is - is it possible to make it in English at all or it's better to reinstall it and if the reinstall is prefered solution could someone advice me where to read some tips because I'm lame in such things like mobile phones .
Thank you in advance,
Markup
P.S. I'm sorry that I'm posting this post here but I could not find where to post it and... just thought that here's the place and if it's not I beg your pardon.
Hi guys....
I would like to know exactly what must be done to change a Htc magic that came from spain (with spannish language only),back to have the english language as its operating language.
Im a noob as you can tell offcourse......lol.......but a quick learner.......
kind regards to all
If you've rooted it through the set-up your able to change the language. Also i believe in settings>Locale & Text. I have the G1 so may be different but i doubt it
Hi all,
i bought a Tattoo here in Ireland for my nephew that lives in italy. he wants to have italian as a primary language on the phone.
I read that I can download the official WWE rom and simply flash that to get the missing languages.
Has anyone tried by any chance? Risk of bricking the phone? Problems with SPL or radio versions?
Just want to make sure im not sending him a dud for xmas
thanks for your help!

I'd say flash the WWE rom from the android development site. It comes with a big list of languages (Including Italian ).
I have updated the rom now i can use greek language but in sms composing the T9 isn't availble for greek.
Could anyone help please?
The strange part is that it is availble when i write text in the internet browser
guys can you please explain..
- where did you get the rom? i found a version but is in zip format and you need to cid unlock the phone first with the goldcard. im not too keen on that.
i dont understand how could I install the zip other than renaming to update.zip and reboot to recovery?? could someone please enlighten me?
thanks
