Hey can anwayone tell me whether the I5800XXJPF firmware version supports Chinese?
I bought my phone in China and am currently learning Chinese so I need it to support this, but I desperately what to update to a 2.2 FROYO firmware so that I can move apps to the SD card.
Can anyone help?
Thomas.
You tell me, I have no idea what language this is:
That's all I could find. There's no other language that could be chinese in locale setting.

Well on the second picture, two languages on top are not something even remotely exotic but two European languages Greek and Serbian. Third one does not look like chinese either.
Yeah, I was referring to the last language in the list. That was the only language that popped out as possible asian language, everything else I can recognize as something else
I don't know what you can do, download some Chinese locale setting from market (if they exist?)

Hi,
I want to find a fast ROM for my gear (Sapphire 32A, HTC Magic). I am not sure if an English version of ROM suitable to work with Chinese applications, especially Chinese Input Method?
Thanks.

They should be as long as you got the HTC_CIME i think is the name of the chinese one.
Anyway, the real question is: Are the Chinese applications suitable for english version ROM

What is HTC_CIME? Is it a specific ROM version? And, could you tell me how can I find out what version of ROM is on my phone?
Thanks.

HTC_CIME is HTC chinese input method editor (or something like that ) it exist as HTC_CIME.apk
So try to search but HTC_CIME.apk around the forum, not sure all roms will work with this if not i bet there is an default android CIME. But read several places that this is working on some of the no-sense roms released here on xda.
Since i'm not Chinese or even know the language i never had any use for it so don't know much about it either. Don't flame me if i'm wrong, just trying to help giving you some words there might help you in your search for a solution

Thank you anyway. But you still not tell that how do I know what is the version of ROM currently running on my phone? For example, you know yours is "CursorSense32A-1.2.6.1".
Narkewoody: the easiest way to use Chinese applications or see Chinese characters is for you to install an add-on program, such as CE-Star or Monster Chinese. The downside of doing it is that certain system-related prompts will be shown in Chinese, as opposed to English. Let me know if this doesn't make sense. You may also want to go to the CE-Star and Monster Chinese websites and take a look. Good luck.

You can look into flashing to the Korean firmware, I don't know the risks, so do so at your own risk. I think I read in one of these forums that it is compatible with the I9000 and that people will be looking to flash to it when FroYo comes out for it head of the I9000....again, look into it, but I won't know what to tell you about Japanese & how safe it is in the end.
I have the Korean firmware & handset and there is no native support for Japanese.
From the FAQ:
23.Can I get Asian language support in the European firmwares?
There is (as of now) no way to reintegrate Asian language support in the European firmwares. The possibility may exist in the future, however, there are currently no devs working on it. There is of course always the possibility to flash back to an Asian firmware. Note that this means that you cannot set the interface to Asian languages (except Korean). You can still receive and send text messages in chinese/japanes etc (you will only need a new keyboard that supports inputting characters)
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……
After updated to the latest 4.3, the order of Contacts (now labeled as "People") are broken. Names
in Asian languages no long appear in romanization order when system is set to a Latin language.
All those names with Asian characters are listed after English ones.
However, this is not the case in 4.2.2. It is more natural to order them according to their romanization
form. This change makes it almost impossible to use the Contacts with names in Asian languages
without settingthe global system language to Ansian ones.
Yeah , having the same issue as well..
:| ,i 'm using global system language to english at the moment

Oeps, sorry missread your post. Look for a possible language mod in the Themes and apps section or you might consider a custom rom with these languages included.

Google has an app called Locale and Languages that does what you want. But it hasn't been updated since 4.1. Likely it's left up to carriers to support now.
You imply that you're not using the international ROM, so search the custom ROM feature lists. That is where you are most likely to find extended language support.
