Hallo guys,
I know this is a stupid question..but I am completely new to android....
I am planning to buy a HTC desire for me (after a hard time choosing desire over legend)and htc hero for my younger brother (yup...must be definitely a lot cheaper one)...
I am living in germany and I have no problem using germans but my bro back home doesn't understand a word in germans...
I plan to buy it brand new and without any form of branding from any operator...
Can I change the hero from germans to english completely? All...HTC sense, standard installed apps which come with the handset...
Yes you can... I bought my little Hero from eXpansys last year and it come with English, French, Deutsch and Italiano as default.
Menu > Settings > Language & Text > Here I am unsure what it is in English since I use Swedish (More Locale 2 @ Market rocks) but it's at the top and then you can change it to whatever you like...
HTC actually include more language files into the Hero than is normaly available to the different regions and to get to those you have to download More Locale 2 from the market.
Thank you very much for your answer.
Have a nice day.

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.
just wondering
I cant list all, sorry if I didnt mention your country
DUTCH or belgium but thats basically the same right
German
Karsten
Arabic.. well it exists already..but i would like to be able to use the blackstone keyboard for it..currently only the tiny one is arabic
Voted for German ... but working on a German ROM with Panels & Manila 3D myself.
Probably Russian...
It would be quite good
Add russian Lang!
No chinese?
Ya......Chinese would be nice.......
So, I understand you're going to create whatever people want most?
Czeeeeeeech
WWE
though im dutch i rather have english
Spanish rom wanted
[AH MODE ON]
Swahili is not listed !!
A Klingon version would be OK too
[AH MODE OFF]
@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!!!

Bulgarian ROM does not exist in nature. But I can make it. The truth is it takes a lot of my time. You will have all the resources at hand to translate.
I'm willing to try it in my spare time. But i'll need help with technical part.
I will be quite grateful even for a keyboard solution only.
I was thinking of spending some time how to make it, but a major issue is the number of the characters and how they fit conveniently is the touch keyboard.
There is a Russian version of Cyrillic keyboard that needs some tweaks but is done really well and looks great.
I also have some feeling that somewhere I met Diamond in Bulgarian. I guess it will be easy to borrow parts of the ROM from there.
I am willing to contribute with whatever I can. Let us see if we can get traction here.

It is early for whole ROM, but there is Bulgarian Manila3.
Just one corection! There IS Bulgarian ROM! I bought my HD with It. The only problem is that I flashed my HD 4 hours after I got it and I didn't dump the original ROM! Manila and most of the OS were in Bulgarian and there was a good BG keyboard just like the HTC one.

I couldn't find anywhere Bulgarian ROM. May be it's just localization like one from Sunnysoft.
Where from you bought HD with Bulgarian?
I bought mine from 2be 1 month ago. I don't know if it's just localization or not but Manila, menus, keyboard, and many of the programs were in bulgarian.

2be can flash back stock ROM with BG, if they don't want you can go to Oconnect. - they will.
Cleaned this thread up a bit. Please keep it on topic and abide by forum rules by using English Language

So after all is there any bulgarian orm to be used as a base atleast ?
Honestly i dont know WHY you need a Bulgarian ROM? for me and many other peoles is enought if we have Bulgarian Support in the Keyboard and you can do this easy with the Finger Keyboard witch is FREE software
Another one that is Super cool but is not free is Resco Keyboard PRO..
Excusme but if all the ROM is translated in Bulgarian/Cirilic i think will not look good and on the same time will be a bit confused because some technical words in English cannot be translated corectly on Bulgarian or at least will look FUNNY.
From the 1st time when i start to use Cell Phone befor alot of years i never asked my phone even to have Bulgarian Menu.. because they often translate it so FUNNY and Confused that is much more better to use it with English Menu, At least you dont need to be a English Professor to understand and to be able to work without problem with the WWE ROM
Yes it will be just like russian ?! But its nicer when you see it in you native language. Espacialy when Everything around us is in Latin and some of our children have started to write in their notebook at school in "Shliokavica"(Phonetical type of expression with latin letters) and after all whe have to be proud with the cyrillic
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.
