To those of you who already have it, could you please check and tell us what languages are available? Both for the entire menu and for the writing language.
I'm more interested in UK-issued models, but it would be nice to know those of other countries too.
Thanks!
P.S. I'm also interested in writing in Greek with the phone, would that be possible in case the UK model does not support many languages? (say, by using an app from the android market?)
I would be very interested in finding out too.
The included swype keyboard doesn't support Greek from what I've read, but was curious about the normal one in the UK edition.

Hi,
I bought the UK model. For android, it looks like there are all the languages I used to have in my HTC HERO. Although, swype is a different problem. The list is shorter : English (us and uk), Deutsch, French, Espanol, Italian, Nederlands, Portugues, Polski.

Thanks succube. Since I never had an Android phone, can you clarify whether the languages you had in your Hero are only for texting, or could you also change the menus to them? Is Greek in that list? (Ελληνικά)

May I ask, where did you buy your phone?
Thanks for the info succube
If it's like the Hero as you say (have a Hero as well) , then if you have a greek sim when you first open it, it will use Greek menus and have Greek available as a keyboard language.
Hope it's like that

So u mean we cant see it? (The language is Arabic).
If not is there a way to install it (in Windows mobile we could install an app to see the characters cuz it wasnt supported), maybe by installing fonts?
Is root needed?
Thanks.
Arabic isn't in the language list on the phone. For the rest of your question, I don't know.

Does it support Japanese? It should because older Android phones do, but better safe than sorry (= total deal breaker). Many thanks!

Thanks, but I would like to be sure before I buy the phone. I know that you can install Japanese keyboards from market place, I just need to know if this shows up as proper characters or as squares:

Many thanks!
Perhaps stupid question, but how do you get more languages?
According to androidos . in/2010/12/android-2-3-brings-more-languages-support-incl-hindi/ it should have support for alot of languages, but in my phone I can't see for example swedish. Not as language and not as keyboard.
Any way to get swedish support without a third party keyboard?
Can you check please if Greek language exists????
Deutsch, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Portugues and a couple of asians i can't read...
