Keyboard Language / Locale Issue - Desire HD General

Hi,
I recently purchased my new HTC Desire HD from MobiCity (an Australian company) and received it yesterday.
I note that the only Locales available on my phone are:
English (Bahrain)
English (Jordan)
English (Kuwait)
English (Lebanon)
English (Qatar)
I would like to know how to select English (Australia). I assume I have to load something but not sure how to do it. I have found the keyboard predictive text is not as accurate as my Hero and I assume it's because of the Language pack. The prices in the marketplace are also not set to AUD.
I have been able to download MoreLocale2 from the market to select Australia, but it seems weird I need to install an app just to use the correct language.
I would like to be able to select from English (Australia), English (United States) and English (United Kingdom).
Regards
Kev

Ask them why are they selling a Middle East Asia version of the phone. For example i bought a Central European version (because i live in Central Europe ), so i have English in following versions - Czech, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia. In short - you need a australian version of the phone to have English (Australia).

I suspected that may be the issue.
I have lodged a support ticket with MobiCity, but I suspect they will not be that helpful. I was hoping there would be a ROM on HTC Australia site that I could use to flash the phone, but alas, no luck there either.

Do I need all the files or one in particular ?
Are these Stock HTC ROM's ? My phone is 2 days old, I don't want to brick it.

Well, you should ask in that thread, or the uploader . But that is probably what you want.

Both do not revert your device to complete stock, since they don't contain a original SPL, but there are useful for backup

Seems you're on crack or didn't do something right.. I just flashed the UK Orange rom above & change region to Francais & to Francais (France) & restart and it *IS* in French! In case you couldn't find it do Start->Settings (Might need to do All Programs)->0 More->2 Regional Settings & change Language & Locale
Main screen says: (It takes about 1 minute after reboot for main screen text to change language but buttons & start menu changes immediately after reboot)
Pas de SIM
Aucun rendez-vous
Pas de message
Pas d'e-email
Demarrer Contacts
(accents are there but I can't type them with my keyboard)
Almost everything is in French.. Profile names are English still but you can edit them.
Btw, since I spent the time flashing & testing this ROM I can confirm the following languages in the UK Orange ROM: (Sorry no accents)
US English
Nederlands
Turkce
Slovencina
Cestina
Polski
Portugues (Brazil)
Romana RO
E... (One that starts with E but I can't type. Sorry no idea what it is)
UK English
Magya
Francais
Note though that I cannot use this ROM myself because I get no signal on AT&T in the US & perhaps the same can happen other places. I believe the ROM is customized to disable 850/1900 bands because they are not available in the band selection list. The super odd thing is that with my SIM in I *do* show a signal & it says AT&T on initial boot after hard reset for a few seconds before the customization begins. I haven't spent the time researching for a way to undo those changes but odds are they can be removed.
question
I'm kinda a newbie to dumping roms and stuff, how can i dump a ROM ? i have a S740 and i wanna share the ROM in my device with other users...
I can give u the latest US s743 rom if you want...just tell me how to extract it.

Hi, which languages are included in the RUU_Rose_HTC_Europe_1.14.401.2 ROM?
Thanks in advance!
I don't know my friend...I found this rom in the official greek HTC forum and there aren't any details...it only says "multilingual"

Locale settings

I bought my HTC Legend online but I discovered it was built for the Czech Rep. but Australia, so when I set Language I don't see any for English (Australia).
So should I be worried about this? and what effect does say English (Poland) have on Android apps etc..
Should I try and fix this using a custom ROM or stick with the Stock ROM.

[Q] How to change language

Does anybody know how i can get Norwegian language on a device bought in UK?
It does not have that choice in the >language & input section in settings.
I have rooted the device.
Similar question from me, I bought mine in the USA and would like to change the language from English (USA) to English (UK).

That's because you installed an Asia RUU.
