First of all, Happy new year to everyone
I was wondering how can we allow the HD2 to preview a language other than english, such as sms, email, contacts without changing the GUI language.

Try in regional settings,
selecting your preferred language
Hi Zazu and happy new year to you.
You can download the manuals for the HD2 from HTC's website which should help you get to know your new toy better.

Well, yes, that works if one is using an alphabetic language. Unfortunately, such a simple solution is not possible if the required language is an Asian language. Under those circumstances, installing fonts is required, or flashing a ROM that supports the language so that you can also use a soft keyboard for input.
@Som30ne: Thank you for replying, but Arabic is not found in one of the languages
@wacky.banana: Thanks for the tip, I did that already and read through it, perhaps I missed it but i couldnt find anything that referred to adding an asian language.
@rlydiard: So where can I download an asian font for the phone ? And where should I install it.
I am skeptic about flashing the ROM because it voids the warranty, and can damage the phone if done incorrectly.
Thank you all for the help

I wish I could help you more on locating Arabic fonts, but as I am based on the island where HTC is headquartered, I am only familiar with installing traditional or simplified Chinese fonts in an English UI.
There are many talented Arabian members on XDA who can probably start you out in the right direction. Any fonts you acquire can be placed in the Windows folder on your device. This method will allow you to read the Arabic fonts on your device, but your keyboard would not allow you to write, so that is a whole other problem.
Perhaps doing a search of all the forums will come up with some leads on locating an Arabic font for you.

Maybe you should try this:

What you need is an Arabizer and as far as I know one of the best solution is MOBiDIV (http://www.citglobal.com/mobidiv/home.jsp) It's shareware but really reliable and as far as i Know it has been testet successfully on HD2....
Cheers,
LEE

Unfortunately, not all answers can be found in HTC user manuals, but then, that is why XDA Developers exists in the first place, right? Getting unofficially supported languages to work on our beloved HTC devices is a good example of that.
@rlydiard: Thank you for the help anyway
@Som30ne: This program changes the language of the whole UI, I only want the phone to read another language, keyboard isnt as important now since its a hassle to fix.
@lee1980: Thank you for the link, ill read more into it
Guys I want to ask, if I copied an Arabic font from C:\Windows\Fonts in my computer to the HTC Windows folder, will that work ?
Thanks for the help Really appreciate it !!
Hmm I want to try sending some fonts to the phone, but should I send OpenType or TrueType ?
Can anyone please tell me if I can add fonts this way ?
Hey guys, how come there are many views and no new replies ((
I tried sending a font from C:\Windows\Fonts to HTC Windows\Fonts
But nothing really happened, I restarted the phone and nothing happened as well.
Any thoughts ?

You can try the attached file. It uses traditional Chinese though, not simplified characters. Unfortunately, at the moment I do not have a solution for simplified characters. Also, you can check this thread

If I find another solution I will let you know. In the meantime, you might post a request on the thread where the last solution was found. Maybe someone there knows how to change the order of words. It seems like a rather strange bug. You might also follow this thread, although I know you do not want to flash your LEO.

Try using site/google to search forum, you may be able to locate a rom that has arabix support.
Also please use proper topic titles, we dont need to know that the topic about HD2 or that you need help, the title should have been somthing like "Which rom has arabic support".

Nice "left-handed compliment" dude
Thanks Bartek.......... Alot of my friends need this glad you posted
Today I was able to download and install Swype for my Wildfire.
Previously I would normally get the message that your screen resolution is not supported.
So anyone who have already signed up for Swype beta can install a working official version of swype for Wildfire.

I was very skeptical about it aswell but when I started using it for a while it really gets faster to type and I cant miss it.
I have an older customized version with English and Dutch/French + few other languages that works with the Wildfire perfectly.
Downside the apps is 5 MB because of the languages.
PM me if you want it.
