Maybe you got a wrong language rom from the one you had, try installing your old rom again.
If not it may be a hardware issue, maybe have a look for the keyboard mappers if there are any and remap your keyboard keys back to the way they were maybe.
Hope this helps.

I do have the same issue.

HELP - Keyboard issue

Hello XDA
I have just noticed that the "?" key (FN P) is not typing the ? but an ";". Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Fn P on my UK QWERTY X1 has ; on the keyboard. ? is at the bottom and doesn't need the Fn key.

Wierd,
Mine has the ? mark on the P key in blue. There must be a setting then for this somewhere in the OS

Austrian QUERTZ has the "?" on "Fn"+"P" and the ";" is "SHIFT"+","
Seems you have an English ROM installed but you would need a German one.

ok my keyboard is:
"?" on "Fn"+"P" the ";" is on "SHIFT"+"," the "+" is on "Fn"+"N". Any ideas

You have flashed UK rom on non UK device, that is your problem. Most of non UK X1 have localized keyboards and they will work ok only with org language rom. The only way for you is to find keyboard driver and swap it to your X1 orginal language.

Ok I just did a hard reset and it flashed itself. So I need to reload it somehow?

Are you kidding me?
Does not changing CurLang value work on X1?
Go to HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD and there find CurLang value. You need to open the file and change the 1033 to the value of your device. I do not have the values here, but they are on XDA, please search the forums for the answer.

Where is your device from?

I assume that Austrian and German layouts are the same.
Go to the key I posted above and change it to 1031, close your reg editor and there probably is not even soft reset needed...
EDIT: If that gives the wrong layout try 3079 after that. (I do not know of this code is supported)

Under the device settings it shows GENERIC_UK... Other then that no idea, I do know the manuals came in some other language.. so not sure.

Use registry editor program, like the free Total Commander and do as I posted earlier.

(Note that I am guessing that your device has the German QWERTZ layout?)

I just tested this and it does work. Changing CurLang to 1031 changes the layout to QWERTZ and "?" is under "P" etc... Soft reset needed after change.
People please use the SEARCH on the boards. All these type of problems most likely have been addressed in other devices.

I got total commander installed, where do I find the registry at? Currently I am seeing a directory listing.

go to \\plugins, there is registry folder...

Well we are close! now the z and the y keys are backwards. Any other numbers to try? Thanks!

Ok then your device is not with German layout?

What country is this device from, that would help you know... Did you bought it used?

Bought it brand new from someone on Amazon, not sure what country it was from other than the booklets where not in English.

Best thing would be that you find out what country your device is from, the booklets should give you that info...
I think that you have bought a device that had a English rom installed by the seller and he did the right localization for it. Now that you did a hard reset everything went back to the original rom setup.
This will be no problem when you find out where your device is from.
Does it have a carrier branding?

Ok it looks like the manuals are in Swedish Language... Viktig Information is written on the main manual.
Also
Sweden address on the back of one of than manuals

Problem with CE-Star (Problem Fix)

after i install ce-star my date and time all turn into chinese
any idea to fix that?

interesting app, but i guess you might get more help on the webpage of the developer, or at least in the general discussion forum, as it is not a certain htc jade software...

Pls correct me if I am wrong but I think CE-Star is a program for Chinese users who bought the unit with English Language.
I purchased my 3G in Thailand and I received an install CD and Applications and one of them is CE-Star, which I didn't install coz I don't speak or read/write chinese.

You need to go to start/settings/system/regional settings and change to eg:English(United States) and do a soft reset after changing it.

got it solve by your method
thanks a lot

Its OK,glad this method has solved your problem.

Xperia X2: How to change language (re-flash an Stock Spanish ROM)

Hi!
This is interesting information for owners of the Xperia X2 that want to change the device language to Spanish, and for others who want to study a new ways to change it to other languages.
The people in a Spanish forum have managed to unbrand a Spanish Vodafone based X2 using a trick to foil SEUS: the way is aborting the phone custiomization process, and then, installing manually a lot of CABs. This method also is useful to change the language from Stock English to Stock Spanish MR1.
I've already tried on my English based X2 already Updated to MR1, and it worked. Now I have a Generic Spanish X2 with MR1 installed.
The curious thing is that, this Spanish Stock ROM is far more stable that the same R1BA024 in English. I've used the phone with the original MR1 English for a couple of days an it was a real mess. But, this Spanish ROM is a little faster and it hasn't give me so many problems. The phone is really more stable (not perfect, but nearly close).
This is the link (all credits goes to dreamcrawler):

The instructions are of course in Spanish.
Cheers.

You need Flash Hard-SPL first. Then Flash ROM with another language.
But there is not any Hard-SPL for X2 yet.

I think that you don't even bother on read my message.
I already changed the language on my X2.

English translation of all that would be nice.

Since its me who made it i guess ill take the task of translating it
TUTORIAL: DEBRANDING AND UPDATING YOUR XPERIA X2
1º Open SEUS, start a new update. EVEN IF IT SAYS YOU HAVE LATEST VERS, UPDATE IT ANYWAY.
2º ONCE IT REBOOTS, CALIBRATION SCREEN APPEARS. RIGHT AFTER CLICKING ON THE CROSSES, IT WILL APPEAR THE SONY ERICSSON LOGO, AND IT WILL START APPLYING THE CABS. PUSH THE RESET RIGHT after it starts applying (hidden behind the stilus, opening the battery cover).
3º After rebooting, the Sony Logo will appear again asking to retry. Press NO.
4º Now you will need a pack with all the cabs from the language firmware you want to change & update your X2. No matter if they are from the old firmware or the last one.The important part is they must come from the firmware with the language you want to turn your cellphone into. you can find how to extract said cabs here:
(damn forum, it wont let me post a link, in this same forum theres a post explaining how to extract roms, seek for it)
5º Once you have the cabs on your SD Card, you have to install them all, one by one. Once you are done, restart the cellphone.
6º Start SEUS again, run another update, force it if it says you have last version and you will get your X2 updated on your desired language.
I also made a tutorial to make your x2 stable, run it with SPB shell 3.5.3, and many other fixes. tell me if interested so i can translate.

hello
I can't find any way to extract the cabs from the x2 firmwares(extractcabs.exe doesn't work).Can you please help by providing a tool for that or the cabs(english version firmware).
Thank you for the support!

biglaur, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5384641&postcount=2
requires .NET Framework 3.5

...
I have a .sdr version of the firmware but it doesn't work with the program above either.Help to the pro's,many thanks if someone posts the cabs from any english firmware.Please...!Thank you!

got it...
It works,my x2 has english language from sweedish.To find the english language cabs type in the "search" tab this:"Cabs from MR1 are posted here" and you'll find them.
Many thanks to you guys that posted the method,you deserve all our respect.

Sorry, how to force SEUS update it anyway? It said "you have the latest software"....

It's not necesary that you force SEUS update on step 1. You can simply hard reset the device under Settings to erase all phone's content.
Then, you can go to step 2.
Cheers.

Thank you very much for advice-)))
But the thing is - few days after device hard using I got a stupid decision delete all pre-installed soft. And after rebooting I can only see the SE logo. I can put device into boot-loader but everytime SEUS says "You have the latest vers...etc"...
Bought it in China so I think the only solution is to wait official MR2 update for X2 for China.
Because X2 didn't official come to Chinese market yet.

X2 Language Swedish <--> English

I need to do exactly the same as biglaur did. Have Swedish X2, Need English X2.
Can you share (links to) the English CABs ? also the Swedish CABs ?
It's a company phone so I might need to restore it to original.
TIA

Language from Czech to English
Very new to the forums here.
Phone: Xperia X2
Want to change the language on all of the programs from Czech to English.
I have tried to read as many posts as I could about this and people keep talking about putting X2 roms on their X1. I have not found any step by step instructions anywhere on how to change the language other than this thread and I am still unable to understand how to do it/get the proper programs/roms/tools etc. . . I have downloaded what I thought would be the step by step instructions but apparently you need special programs to open them up as well. Sorry to sound like s 3 year old but I am totally new to this and really want to use/read/understand the language on my new Xperia X2 phone.
My family bought me a Czech language Xperia X2 that I need to change to English. I am getting the complete run around from SE(Sony Ericsson) Europe as well SE USA."The phone was sold in Slovakia and was meant to be used in Slovakia. SE is not responsible for changing the language. . . " yadda yadda boolcookies.
Questions:
1.) Is there a complete step by step process (for idiots like myself) with all of the downloads/instructions/programs/extractors needed to change the language to English?
2.) Does the language change affect ALL of the programs on the phone: Windows Mobile Office, Internet Explorer, CNN tracker, Panels, etc. . . Or are there specific roms that i need to find for each program on the phone? Where are these roms?
3.) If I succeed to perform the necessary steps to change the language from Czech to English will I be able to perform future SE phone updates?
Sorry to be so new to this but I can use some help if someone is willing to offer it.

Language from Czech to English
Double Post

this is great! all i have instaled on my phonr is windows 6.5 that cames with the mr1 firmware (SE buggy stuff not installed) i installed just the SE dialer, SE comm manager and SE taskmanager. I also installed the SPB shell 3.5.3 and i have it as main menu. oh i also installed the X2 camera app from mr1 asn the SE flash deployment. internet settings were needed to set manualy bat that is no problem.
So far the performance is amazing. that SE stuf it just prings the phones performance down. I dont have slideview, dont have panel manager. as i da basic WM 6.5 and SPB 3.5.3 (and some apps for internet and file management.)
X2 performance for the first time in 3 month since i got the phone reminds me on my X1.
Ty again so much

I have updated to the latest version, canceled the customization and installed the extracted cabs as explained above and afterwards reflashed.
But unfortunately same language as before (Swedish) instead of English.
Did i miss a cab or something ?

try to delete the folder inside C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\ BEFORE you run SEUS

Im going to try and chagne my generic_SG to generic_UK after hearing its better.
So this is the steps Im going to try:
1) Do steps explained in first step up to the retry but and say NO
2) Download R3A UK rom
3) Extracted cabs from UK rom on SD card
4) On clean WM install ALL cabs? (Is this necessary?)
5) Update on SEUS again, say YES
6) Hopefully it will update it to generic UK
7) Once upgraded to MR2, clear phone memory again and repeat steps from post 1
8) Install my own personal cabs from R3A rom
Please correct me if im wrong anywhere, cheers.

[Q] Is there any guide for changing the language of the ROM？？

Hope flash english to chinese.Anyone can offer a guide about how to do this？
Thanks in advance!

It's quite easy, but it depends on the ROM you are using. Some ROMs support specific languages (locales). To change the locale go to phone's "Settings" app. Tap on "Locale and text" entry and then tap on "Select locale" entry. Select your desired locale and reboot the device.
Sadly I have not seen Chinese locale in SG3 ROMs (probably because I was never looking for it). There is Korean locale in most of SG3 ROMs. Try flashing a couple of stock ROMs to see if they have Chinese locale or wait if someone replies which ROM is he using to get Chinese locale...

Thank you all the same……
Maybe my description is not clear enough ,I mean how to make the ROM support chinese by modifing some files of the ROM.
My english is not good enough,hope you can understand……

clarkkov said:
Oh, that's another matter...This would include translation of the corresponding files in the framework, and the OS itself. All .apk(s) need to be translated, which considers decompiling and the recompiling the whole .apk, hunting down the GUI .xml(s), adding the translation and so on...Isn't there Chinese Android translation/localization?
...and I forgot one very important thing, the Chinese fonts and grammar! This can cause many compatibility issues. As I understand, Chinese characters cannot be translated respectively from Alphabetical characters. This would involve coding/writing a new/separate module for decoding and encoding Chinese characters. If Chinese is similar to Korean, this is the place to start. Word prediction and autocerrect software would have to be written also - for the keyboard, new keyboard layout etc...A lot of work (assuming there is no Chinese localization for Android).

Thx a lot.
There are people who do the translation work on the Internet.But they are not able to turn every ROM to chinese version,especially when i find a ROM which i like from xda. I think i should try to find out how they do the work and learn it……
