Dear Friends,
I am going to buy an Android soon from internet without T-Mobile contract in Germany. It will be in German language, so I would like to change the language into English. At this point I want to know if there is option in the settings to change the system language to English on the fly or one has to reflash (that's the word I know from my experience with the HTC-prophet) the ROM?
Thanks for your time on this silly question, but I will be counting on you for answer fellas

Hi !
I recently bought a QTek 9100 "Deluxe" while passing by Moscow ! The version is in Russian and I was convinced I could manage to get it into English , but .........
When trying it, probably as it is a G4 device, I can not do anything !
Could anyone advice please ?
IPL 2.18.0001
SPL 2.18.0001
GSM 02.20.11
OS 2.18.7.1
If you can navigate a little in russian, try hitting start-->setting--> go to the second tab at the bottom (system) and then regional setting (looks like a globe) and in the first tab there is a drop down menu that will allow you to change the language. Then, do a reset and your language should change. I've never actually done this so I'm not gauranteeing it will but I remember running across a post once saying that it would. It's worth a try anyway.
Look through the options until you see (this is as close as I can do in roman rather than cyrillic)...
Ye3NK (only the N is backwards - this is "language" - the E may be curvy with two dots above it)
AH7nNCKN (with the 7 and Ns displayed backwards and "n" is very like the maths symbol for pi - is "English")
Alternately look up each of the letters in "yezik" and "angliski" here for the exact picture...

I dont have cyrillic on this server, but even if i did you would need it installed too or you will just see mainly vowels with phonetic symbols above.
And good luck!!!
Not functionning yet !
Hi guys !
Many thanks for your feed-back !
Unfortunately I tried before and the "international" language is already selected on "English", but all menus etc. remain in Russian.
I had a talk this morning with the national provider of QTek of my country stating that there were no way, but through the net with some 80 % risk that the mobile would simply crash and be of no use !
I would really appreciate if anyone would have a "positive" experience in this regard.
Many thanks in advance !
You have to use "" Shell Tool", can find it on this forum to reflush G4 Wizard.

Thanks Fresh,
but unfortunatelly I am not really a specialist in I.T. and do not really understand what I am supposed to do.
Especially the pages starting with "ftp://" remain unreable to me ! I guess I do something wrong, but do not know what !
Thanks for any help !
Nice day

"ftp://" if you have this, you have to copy this to the address bar of your browser, then you wil see something like list of folders and files.
Click on the files you want, then it will start to download.
Looks like you need to navigate here:
go ftp://[email protected] find ''Uploads'' folder, then ''WIZARD'', then "Unlocking''
and copy all staff to your computer
Hello Free breaze,
Sorry, but at my level it seems I am even not able to log in what you adviced : ftp://[email protected] !
Trying but still no any success with passwords !
Sorry !
Strange, password is xda, i logged in one second....
I am trying but with xda as log and xda as pass and do not get through !
I brought my mobile today to a specialist, but he said that the Russian version was more advanced than the English one he had, and could not downgrade in Russian !
It is looking such a headache !
Next time I will take a simple and very small Nokia I think !
Well, i am russian, i don't have G4 Wizard, but on russian forums
a lot of people had done upgrade and downgrade G4, so you need another spesialist
I will try to search for you and make english manual how to this week, but did you think to upgrade to the WM6?
Another chance, try this:
Wizard Service Tool

Hi Fresh Breeze !
Many thanks for your permanent help (and there is much to do with such "specialist" as I !).
About WM6 I have read and understood that it is not yet stable, but if you have any advice would be much appreciated !
It seems the downgrade of the Russian version is a kind of must as no equivalent version in English could be found.
I had a look as well on Service Tool, clarifying now some aspects !
Many many thanks to you !
Yo,
I have a French X1i and i want to use a WWE rom with Harware Azerty keyboard support...
How can i do??
Thank you for yout reply
Cordially
That question has been asked a lot (referring to changing the keyboard layout). And, I'm 100% sure that a search of this forum will yield enough results, so I'm not going to look this one up for you (as can't tell you from the top of my head).
Yo,
Im sorry guy but english isnt my language and im very very bad in english!!!
I didnt understand why my hardware keyboard run like an Qwerty keyboard on Custom WWE rom...
If you have any idea please tell me because everybody on this forum is doing a good work!!!
I cant do a search because i dont understand all!!!!
Thank you and help a french!! Thank you again
Every thing you need to know is easily found within these X1 threads
They will be as easy (or difficult) to understand as any answer would be from anyone in this thread regarding you question.
I strongly recommend taking the 'plunge' and using the search feature! You won't be disappointed
I read a few threads regarding the HD2 but I didn't found a clear answer to my problem:
I wanna buy a HD2 but the language on it I understood that is German.
The person who sell's it don't know to tell me if it have also English language, or can I put myself English language on it !
Thank you for an urgent answer in order to decide if I change my 3GS or I will wait for another offer !
Cheers !!
Which threads did you read then ?
Cause most of them would tell you it cannot be done just now.
Other threads would tell you that you CAN change the Sense homescreens language with a registry hack.
That's the bottom line.
Thank you for clearing me on this matter ... So I think I will look for another offer !
Hy all,
is it possible to add a language for my phone?
I would translate it, and make everything but I don't know how can it be done.

You'll be surprised how many languages it comes with, try more locale on the market and see if your locale is available
Unfortunately it doesn't come with Indonesian. And am sure there are many other popular languages missing.
So I would like to know a better answer to the question of the OP also.
I want to make hungarian language, 'cause I think its not made for the Legend. I searched it for day and night but I can't find it on the internet. So my straight question is: how to make and add an extra language to my phone?

Go to the settings ("Einstellungen"). Then select Language & input (German: "Sprache ...") and then "Sprache auswahlen"
ok so i was sure you wouldnt understand me.
that is why i attached 2 pictures.
i am already in that menu and there is no language other than german to select
please take a look

So you're screwed. Bring it back. It only has German. No possibility to switch to another locale, no matter how hard we try to understand you.
i understand that this could be a solution yes.
but i was thinking maybe somebody knows if i upgrade to 3.1 with usb host cable....maybe that would work?
and also since that 3.1 rom image is taken directly from google, shouldn't void my warranty right?
i am waiting couple more hours for more opinions maybe someone here can help me!!
then i take it back to the store
i can tell you this thing has ruined my user experience ...a lot!

I think it's to early to tell if the 3G Verizon 3.1 image might work on a German 3G Xoom. If I were you I would trade it for the Galaxy Tab 10.1v. They should be available in Germany by now. It's a perfect Honeycomb tablet and will support English. (You need to double check this of course in the store)
Good luck, take it easy
thanks appelflap!
i have an update for those who are intrested in this... just called motorola germany, they speak english, and i asked them if this is a policy of motorola or it will be available in the future.
motorola support told me "no no no, no way its our policy" and by next official update i will definately get english. they said its just because its the initial release of the honeycomb thats why... i asked them when the upgrade and they said they dont know and they prefer not to speculate.
oh well... should i believe them? i still have 14 days by german law and also according to the store policy to take it back so i figure i just wait a little bit...
galaxy tab 10.1 might have been a very good option ...if it had hdmi and microsd, which is important for me...

Only works if they have built in the locale translations in the Honeycomb system. Could be working for english because Honeycomb is original in English. Don't see why they have hide the English locale though. BTW it will not work for the keyboard.
With such a switch you ask apps to look for translations. Apps need to provide the translations though.
everything is in english now. keyboard also, skype, google maps, android market, everything in english.
i selected us english in the MoreLocale2 app, even though in the settings/ language options i still cant chose other than german, which is so weird....
i will post a pic later, now i am playing with my new toy
thanks so much for help. if anyone else has the same problem i am glad i opened this thread...

That's great. Congratulations. Now if this only could work with dutch
Very strange they decided to hide this locale option on the German Xoom.
Well this is great! It also works with the Galaxy Tab 10.1v for Dutch. The translations aren't finished yet but it's working, sort of. Now I won't have to wait till they release the translations here in the Netherlands.
Ha! Now I don't have to return the Tab and can I sell the Xoom to my neighbor
Thank you!
