Hey, sorry if this has already been posted on how to change language, but i have some specific questions i would like to ask.
1) I bought the Touch HD from Taiwan and the language of it is Traditional chinese, i was actually thinking that it was an international phone and would have several languages to choose from... but apparently not.
How would i go about changing the language from chinese to english?
What would i have to do?
2) If i change the language, do i lose everything that is currently on my phone?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
You could just flash a new Rom, it will change the phone to that Rom and replace what you currently have, a lot of Roms have the same stuff just tweaked for better performance so you would not lose much.
That is assuming your not on a phone carrier plan of course, check out the different roms to suit what you want
This phone was bought outright so im assuming im not carrier locked (Kinda hard seeing as im in australia and it was bought in taiwan )
So i would have to use HardSPL?
There are two options to do it there are excellant directions for both in the ROM section I used HardSPL but the choice is yours

I bought qtek9100 and was told that it has English version of the Windows Mobile 5 in English, but it was in Swedish. Now I want to change the langauge, how to do it?
I have already unlocked the CID and phone using the lockiwiz.
I am completely new to the Mobile PDA stuffs, so try to be explicit like how to get into the ROM. I am whining also because of the linguistic reasons.
Help solicited and will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

im having the same problem with mine only mines in dutch.
but i figured i just moved here a month ago and its a good way to learn a bit of the language.
I've had my phone about 3 weeks and can now pretty much negotiate it all and picking up some dutch on the way. its all good.
Um, the question sorta confused me... I think you were asking how to change the language from Sweedish TO english... I feel the easiest way would be to flash a new rom (ok, maybee it is not the easiest, but it is the easiest I know of, it will be the most complete and you upgrade the thing at the same time, so why not?) I would flash the T-Mo 2.26, simply because it is the latest and I like it. I am not sure if it is worldwide English or American English (or what the heck the difference is anyway...) but I know it is english b/c I can read it... This rom is available somewhere around here, or PM me and I will email it to you... Hope this helps
Will changing ROM image change language?
Thank you everyone who replied to my question, yet I have some questions as below before proceeding (I used the lokiwiz0.2b to unlock sim and cid, do I still need to run the 0.3a version of lockiwiz?).
I downloaded the WWE ROM from ftp://xda:[email protected]_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
Now my question (of course newbie) is how to install it? And will Changing the ROM will change the language of the Windows Mobile 5.0 too?
Please be explicit (because I am lost in my qtek in a language which I don't understand and I am doing a guess work all the time). Thanks again.
Advice solicited!
I tried to execute the ROM image I downloaded as stated above but held back because the ROM seems to be downgrading from 2.17.7.203 SVE to 2.17.2.202 WWE. So I held back.
In the meantime, I came across three posts and got confused which one to follow?

4) http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=38056&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
I expect advice from the XDA experts which one to follow? My main objective is to change the language (from Swedish to English of my WM5PPC) and make the connections faster (radio, wifi and GSM).
Kindly advise. Thank you in advance.
Hi all,
Apologies but im in a fix with the above phone. Its a UK HD2 on t-mobile ukl but i really need to get the phone into Hungarian. I cant seem to find that language anywhere in the settings. Is there something i can download and install Hungarian on the phone?
Any help is appreciated
Any help anyone?
well I can't help with how to add a language to your phone, but if you are willing to get into rom flashing, many cooked roms come with different languages installed. the rom I'm using (in my sig) has hungarian.
though I should think it shouldn't be too hard to add languages. keep searching the forums, I bet its dead easy once you know how.
Hi Guys,
I just finally got my TMobile HD2 and need the phone to be able to read Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
I would also like to be able to write Chinese on it although I still want to have the english interface on the phone.
I have looked up and read numerous threads in this forum about adding Chinese support but there seems to be just way too many different programs such as QQ input, CE Star, Shugou, etc that has confused me.
(I actually tried and installed QQ pinyin input, however they were still squares. I assume its because I don't have the font installed. I tried this because I haven't HSPL'd my phone and am worried about doing it since I'm a complete noob.)
Also, there seems to be a way to read and write chinese characters but after flashing the ROM to an Energy ROM or other compatible ROM FIRST which I found from another thread.
For all of you who have experience in this, what is the easiest way where I can
read and write Chinese and just also be able to read Japanese and Korean?
I would really appreciate the help!
Google RickyMSYH6.0FullBD to read chinese
Try this site, they have chinese rom and english rom that support chinese.

make sure it's for t-mobile or else you might brick your hd2.
good luck
Considering how much I enjoyed my dvp I decided to order two of them for a friend of mine. I made sure that they were carrier unlocked and I had them sent from the US. The dvps arrived with factory installed Mango and some t-mo stuff installed (?). I tried an Italian sim card to make sure they were unlocked and it worked perfectly so I just uninstalled the useless apps from t-mo and went in the settings panel to change the language of the device.
I'm able to change everything but the display language. From what I learnt on xda it needs a registry hack to fix this but considering the fact that we can't do that is there another way? My dvp can change the display language with no problem so I thought I could flash these dvps with the rom of my device but it seems a bit extreme to me...
(a cool thing about t-mo dvp is that it can set google as default search provider)
You do not necessarily need to mess with the registry to install additional languages. I was able to install the dutch language by using the Windows Phone update application from Microsoft after downloading the language pack and some other update packages from the Windows Update site. The links to these packages can be found here.
It may require an dev unlocked phone though, but I cannot be certain for that... I used ChevronWP7.
I successfully did the cab sender method but the display language is still "unclickable", any advice?

Anyone? I really need to change the language.
Someone in the update cab thread was saying that the DVP only allows you to use the english language pack. I don't know if this is true, or whether having a developer unlocked phone would help.

Ascario, did you install the Dutch language on a DVP, or was it another Windows Phone model?

That could be true. My dvp is dev unlocked but my subscription is expired and I can't unlock the other devices. I guess I'll have to wait 'till someone finds the way to unlock the damn dvp.

I did install the Dutch Language on my DVP. I have to admit I was surprised it actually worked and "Nederlands" became one of the options in the language menu. I have to add though that I have a German DVP, Italian was already one of the options. If I'm not mistaken, there is a difference between the US and European firmware. You basicly need a European DVP to add other European languages, except for Spanish perhaps.
do we have the .ffu of the european firmware? if so, is it safe to flash that firmware on US DVPs?
I'm a serious noob. I din't know what is ROM or HSPL before today. I just got a gift, HTC Touch2 which has Italian as default language. Now, I need to change it to English. I know I have to flash my phone with Eng ROM, but here is the problem. My idea about flashing, HSPL, ROM are not clear.
Can someone be kind enough to give me brief suggestions to do it and explain the process briefly..
Also, there are thousands of ROMs avaiable in the forum, but all are somehow customized. I need a fresh official ROM which won't change my phone anything except the language. All links in the HTC Thouch2 ROM database (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578915) are dead! So, where do I find such kind of ROM?
Thanks in advance
You don't need to change entire ROM just for languag change. I say, look in the book, there'll be something about it. Every official ROM comes preloaded with several languages. Try fidgeting around in the settings. You'll find some option.
Thanks, but that wasn't useful

I have visited every settings in the phone and I'm pretty sure that this ROM has no option to change language.
First try going to Settings -> System -> Regional Settings and changing it to English (country). It "may" work for you, depending on the ROM you have currently.
Otherwise, you'll have to flash an English ROM onto the mobile
