how to change the language - Touch2 General

Morning, I recently purchased a touch2 from Jordan and everything was in English. Well the other day my son got a hold of the pohne and installed a application that turned almost everything to Arabic. Now, I have NO technical know how when it comes to phones. I keep hearing that i can go in the registry and change it back to english. Do any of you guys know how to do that?
Ps. I tried the hard reset numerous times and it's still in Arabic. Also, I need step by step instructions...Thanks

I have the same problem. I have just bought the phone from the US and the interface language is in Chinese . I want to change it to English.

My phone was in polish loc. and after hard reset i changed loc. in to slovak

To change the language you have to do Hard Reset. After the first run and customize you have to restart the phone.
Then you can change the language.

Honestly - is this really possible? I thought changing the language on any windows mobile phone always needs to flash the ROM, and maybe even need to unlock in some way (hard spl or whatever)...
Basically, if I could really change the language to english, I might be thinking to buy two of those Touch2 here in taiwan for my GF and me... but I can't read chinese, so changing to english would be necessary.
On the other hand, with the ROMs I saw there was no traditional chinese version, just "WWE Asia"... this kinda sounds like there are more languages inside there... hmmm... lets see, I'm off to a HTC store to test this

Yoc can try to install Sunnysoft Interwrite to change a language.
If you chave Sunnysoft Interwrite try to change language in start/settings/system/sunnysoft interwrite.
In home page of this program you can select language without HR, only SR.

I know this is a very late answer within this thread, but yes, that's how it seems to work. For example, I have a Touch Diamond purchased in Slovakia, it is the WWE version. After the first power on, it made me pick between 6 languages: English, Slovak, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian. Once the language is picked, it will update all the system files, and you cannot change the language again.
But if you do a hard reset (like I did today) everything is wiped and the phone will boot just like it did the first time - going through all the initial configuration, etc. And it will allow you to select the OS language again.
Now, I don't know what languages may be included with phones sold in Asia. Above is just to give you an idea how the localization stuff worked on my Diamond.

By the way, no, there is no way to change the language with WWE ASIA or also the traditional chinese HK version. You can hard reset as often as you want, no menu pops up.
So I guess that's a special feature of some select ROMs, like the one for the mentioned middle/east european languages.
But now with HardSPL we can at least flash all ROMs that are available, so I got my Touch2 from the store in Taiwan already flashed with WWE and HardSPL. Now I changed to WWE ASIA and that's pretty good already
In a nutshell: Changing languages (with a few exceptions) requires HardSPL and flashing a ROM.

There is no way on ASIA ROM cause its basicly not WWE, but Asia ROM. HTC has many ROMs with specific language in them.

You are fully correct....changing language is for a selected number of Rom's. Since quite some people (incl myself) like this idea have asked some Rom cookers to built this feature as standard eg. have dual language options. Sofar unfortunately no reaction.....
So I think basically it is possible but not available. If more people ask for it.....it will happen someday either via HTC or XDA.

I accedently bought a P3300 with swedish language when I need it in english. Can I make some upgrade or anything to get it in english? Maybe just a rom upgrade, and where do I find these roms?
Thanks
did you got a solution for your HTC P3300
HI,
did you got a solution for your HTC P3300, to change the ROM language to english one ????
Of course you can change to english when you're flashing to another rom - there are a lot of different ROMs here (cooked/modified or shipped ones)...
The only thing you'll have to do before upgrading is installing USPL, otherwise you'll brick your phone....
just read the wiki pages, there you'll find all informations you're searching for
i also recommend reading the sticky threads in the Artemis Mobile 6 forum

That's not necessarily "the only thing" you'll have to do. When I changed the language of my wife's phone from English to Finnish, I also needed to tweak the country code of the WM6 software ("original HTC"). So I opened the RUU file in WinHexEdit, wrote down the country code of English WM6 and after that I opened the RUU file of Finnish WM6 software. I changed the country code to an English one (needed to change 6 hex digits), saved it and after that I just launched the EXE file of Finnish WM6. Worked.
Well, changing the Swedish language to English one may be easier since there are lots of tweaked ROMs around but if you'd do it other way round (English->Swedish), you'd definitely have to tweak the country code of Swedish ROM since there aren't any tweaked Swedish ROMs available, are there?
Now I just wish that someone could tell me how to tweak the country code of HTC Home program???

The only way I can think of to change a language on a windows mobile phone.

Only WWE rom's have english language. And with changing mui files you can't do anything, only loosing time. Wait for HardSPL and flashing WWE rom's will be the easiest thing you've ever done.

Acer F1 (NeoTouch S200) Change language

Hello,
I have this phone but have a problem- how to set English display language. I read in this forum - i must find a English rom... or... i am not shure. Can u help me?
/sorry for my english/
Thanks a lot
you can not change the language in windows mobile, you have to use an English ROM.
unfortunately, Acer has not yet released ROM updates, nor are there custom ROMs available yet. But check back the forum regularly, there is one in the making.
oh...
Just wait... right?
Can i install only English language? or... just update something?!?
you need to flash a different ROM, if you want a different language, period.
a device can only contain a single language a time, so you need to install a different Windows Mobile (in form of a ROM image). Why haven't you bought an English device to begin with?
I bought it from ebay. There is no information to display language.
Just one last question- can i install ROM from other model phone?
no.
you need one specific for the neoTouch S200.
Did you try to change regional settings (start, settings, system, regional settings). I always had an english device but this maybe will help you so you can read english.
What language do you have?
While waiting for an english rom, you may install/try SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 which works fine on S200 and choose enlish as your language. This will help you alot. At least you will use your mobile decent.
Freco, thanks !!!!
I will check SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 ... and will wait for rom.
You are the man!!! thank you again!!!
You can change language... but its a little bit tricky...
You need mui files for language you want eg 0415 are for polish language then change some registry entries...I've made polish language for TG01 and the only problem are settings from Toshiba(they don't use mui files ;/)

Ok... how to change registry entries and... i will try, but if you have more time to explain to me...
thanks
Hi All!
2 days ago i bought S200 and now i have the same problem
It`s french WM and it's .....aaaah no comment :/
I need english language (or polish)
I will try install SPB maybe it helps me for a few days...
But if someone will find english WM for s200 please share somewhere...
Now, I have s200_1.002c.00_fr
maybe some one can find s200_1.002c.00_en somewhere...
First You must know how to hard reset Your phone with button combination (messing with registry entries can lead to the hangups or make your system unbotable) second so far i know changing language on french/german TG01 to the English made system unbotable(that was Toshiba Keyboard SIP problem) and didn't translate much of the system... i didn't seen anywhere english mui files so easier would be to translate language to Your native using mui files from rom with close build number with one installed on Your phone
Hi everyone!
First of, as first time poster I'd like to say thankx to everyone who maintains this site and everyone who contributes with everything, from they're kitchen's best meals to any crazy ideas, I've been taking advantage of that for last month or so
But for this one I've found no answer, so here goes:
Yesterday I bought an Acer S200 F1 neoTouch yada yada yada...
I live in Portugal, so it comes with portuguese version of WM 6,5 which is horribly translated, making me, therefore, prefer the english version. I've never actually seen one of these with english version for sale here.
So I went around fishing for a way to change the language, I downloaded the official english version rom update from Acer's website, extracted it, replaced the ACER_EUU.exe with the cracked one, and it flashed smoothly.
However, EVERY SINGLE TIME I turn on the phone it hangs up, sometimes on the WM logo, sometimes during network search (shortly after WM is loaded I guess). Then it reboots all by itself, and then it works sort of ok.
I think I've described the process quite extensively, obviously, either I'm doing something wrong, or this method is not even supposed to work.
So I flashed the portuguese version back to the phone using the exact same method as described above, only not with english rom of course, and it is back to working as it should... in awful badly translated and cropped portuguese.
Should anyone know a way to get around the hang-ups I get with the english version, I'd be so grateful!
Cheers!
Why don't you try one of the Rafyvitto's roms. They are english and good looking.
Indeed. I'm using v2.7-vanilla, no crashes to date.
But I'm kind of obsessive, and rafyvitto's roms althought working much like they should, they have stuff built in which I think have no business being there. In this vanilla 2.7, as an example, title bar makes no sense as WM already has it's own way of doing the same (I think) I'm a noob to WM, so this might be a complete nonsense. Then there are bugs, such as the keyboard not showing/hiding properly during a call (I have to tap the button as if double clicking, and the button's description displays a wrong message ("hide" when it's hidden, "show" when it's being shown already) and sd-card encryption can't be turned off.....
Small things which make my day a little worst
Still, I appreciate rafyvitto's work, as the possibility of choice he provides us with is priceless =)
EDIT: as of the release of the new official rom's from acer (EUU_Acer_S200_3.003b.00_EN_03.03.08_3.003.01_20100119.zip) I am able to change the language from portuguese to english without the hangups I mentioned earlier!

are there mui files for every part of the os? like settings, programs, clock, messaging etc?
would it be possible to take the mui files from a german rom rename them from mui.0407 to 0409 install a new english rom and replace the mui files with the german renamed ones?
of course with a programm that allow replacing rom files like resco explorer or total commander?
if so maybe i even could get some german htc manila mui files from originial htc leo rom and rename and replace the ones of the acer s200 leo roms to have a part german rom ?

How to change language settings??

Hello
I just bought HTC HD2 in Norway, and all the menus are in norwegian.
I am norwegian, but I would really like to have all menus in english.
Could someone tell me please where I can get my phone to speak english and not norwegian
If its not posible, where I can then download english firmware/OS.
For you to change the language, you have to flash it with a new ROM. However, you need a HSPL which is not yet available.
Meanwhile, you can change the language of the HTC Sense using the tweak number 9, of this thread.

Asian ROM shows Chinese date and day in the calendar?

Hi there, I am thinking of changing my ROM to the official Asian 1.66 as it has Chinese support built in and I wont have to bloat out my phone with heaps of fonts, apps and progs to be able to read and type in Chinese (simplified)... (I currently use ce star and touchpal & Sogou ime)... can anyone tell me if the date/day is in Chinese while the menus etc can be in English... thanks
Can no one take a screen shot to show me if the calendar dates/days show in Chinese or not... I can do this in the stock 1.66 if I use CE Star and change the region to China... but if the asian roms can do this then voila, I wont have to bloat the phone with all the other third party apps I have to make it work... cheers
rom for 1.66 asian calander still in english.

thanks for the info... sigh, will stick to my wwe rom for now then...
all you need is to change the locale regional settings to chinese,then the date and calendar will display in chinese.
i find it funny that asian version rom only contains english and chinese languages..
because asia has so many different countries just like europe. however each individual country dont get its own roms like they do in europe. and HTC assumes all asians either speak english or chinese.. which is a poor assumption, since there are many asian countries using the Asian Rom, not being able to even SMS or type in their own language on a phone they buy from the shops !!
