I am looking to purchase the HTC HD. Being that I live in Canada there are no too many ways of getting this phone ( that i know of anyways). I have found a site that sells it for what i believe is to be a reasonable price. The only problem is that it is a french version. I was wondering if i could change the language to english? i saw that there was a rom or something in another section of this forum but being as i have no technical knowledge of any of this i would like to make sure i can change it before i make this purcahse. Another question i have is if i am able to change the language, will the device work perfectly as if it were an english deivce to begin with or could there be some bugs or problems and is this an easy process to do? I'd appreciate any help Thanks. This is the link to the site http://www.expansys.ca/p.aspx?i=173661.
Anyone able to help?
I would need that info too.
The only difference is that I would like to purchase the Touch HD in Italy and then change the language to English.
A WindowsMobile device does not offer the option of changing the language on the go, like you know it from standard mobile phones. The ROM (operating system) includes one language, so in order to change it one needs to change the ROM. But you will loose your warranty in the process. But each HTC distributor on a country level also stocks the English (called WWE) version for each device, the key is to get your shop to order it for you. In Canada, if there is an official French version, there must also be an English one.

Is there any way to get a ROM to run in Korean? I would try the MUI registry trick, but I don't know the ID for Korean and I doubt it's included. If anyone has had any experience know anything, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,

i don't think it's possible on most roms available on this site due to the character limitations. most roms from europe and the us usually just have english, spanish, french, and other european languages. asian characters require a whole new set of things.
while searching this site in the past, there was someone who made a patch for asian character sets, including korean. I think the username was asukal. trying searching for that person. I've used the patch back when i was on wm5, but i found it a bit difficult to use.
Hi, I'm a Japanese.
I don't know what proper manner here is, so I'm sorry for the intrusion, and I'm sorry for making this post.
A little information... I have some trouble with English, but it's not bad. My wife is no good though. So, instead of sending E-Mail and SMS in English or roma-ji Japanese on our phones, naturally, we want to use Japanese.
This should be no problem with the WM phones, since I have heard this is possible now that you have "rom cooking" etc.
We liked the Verizon Wireless HTC XV6800 ("Mogul" if Sprint) so we bought two XV6800 on Verizon because Sprint is no good.
Anyway, like I said, with mine it is no problem to just simply use English, but naturally I want to read Japanese website/etc. and converse with my wife. I read that I can get several options for read/write Japanese, but I think the best thing for both of us is to somehow get Japanese OS locale of WM or something.
If I have a PDA device or phone from Japan with WM6 or WM6.1 on it, is there anyway to RIP the ROM from the davice and f or someone who is good experienced cook please use the JP localization information inside the ROM to make English ROM from Titan/XV6800/Mogul into Japanese with MS JP IME too?
Thank you for your attention.

@ITJE:
I've been compling a list of available ROMs and I have read every single thread for that purpose.
What I've found is that if you scroll down all past posts (X1 ROM section) you'll find a lot of people asking for a SPANISH ROM without answer
I haven't find anyone yet... (and believe me: I have spent days searching)
Croatian
& English
if ppl want spanish, they should vote for it, cause the results is not favoring spanish
getting help and directions to settings
and getting the latests roms fast
and the fact that most software one often use is only in english
anyway so that leaves a mix of languages
and poor translations
all speak in favour of getting an english rom
even if it's not ones first language
good way to learn too
NLD(Dutch!)
Sorry! I want X1 release Chinese Version
german would be nice :-]
Polish please!!!
I was wondering where I can find a rom with both English and Chinese languages included. Or even an English rom with Chinese viewing and handwriting input support.
Most other phones have the ability to change the system language anytime I want, but the HTC HD2 only come in one language and one language only. So if anyone knows where I can find something like, please do share =)

Dual main language for Windows Mobile phones certainly sounds like a nice idea, haven´t seen this either...
But, there seem to be quite a few custom ROMs offering you English as main language and with Chinese support...
Just search the ROM thread here in the forum, you will find this, this, this, and maybe even this...
I'm about to buy an HTC Wildfire.
It is not available in my country, but I found an on-line store who ships the phone at a good price, however, it has written the following warning: "Software in Spanish".
Does Android allow you to choose the language as any other phone OS (except WM) or is it pinned down to one language as the Windows Mobile handsets?
No idea anyone?
Yes you can change the display language. Well you can on my UK T-Mobile one.

If it's not bothering too much, can you check if it has "Portuguese" or "Português" on the list?
At least I'll know if I can order one from the UK.
Here you go http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c344/cerbera1971/DSCF3392.jpg
Thank you!
yeah, but isn't that the locale? where it changes just the date, currency and stuff like that?
Does it change all the menu's language? A complete language change?
thanks
There are missing some languages in stock rom, but you can find a lot in CM7. In my case, neither of stock and CM7 has it. I'm looking for a Persian rom.
