Hi guys,
I managed to break the screen on my beloved Legend. After much hassle with the insurance, I've just got a new one -- and it's the VERY sexy black model!
Problem is, it seems to be set up for the Scandinavian market -- the only language options are English (Norway), English (Denmark), English (Sweden), English (Finland), plus various flavours of Norsk, Dansk, Svenska and Suomi.
Is there any way to get a UK English version on there, without replacing the whole ROM? I got sick of sticking new ROMs on when I was on WinMo, and was hoping to "make do" with the stock Android ROM (+ official updates). Which is why I'm a bit of a n00b.
Believe me, I've Googled around and searched this forum, and can't find anything relevant -- all the hits are going the other way, e.g. "how do I install a Scandinavian keyboard?"
Thanks!

Hello,
I am a complete noobie to this so apologies if this offends anyone, I have spent the last 2 hours on this site trying to find information about how to change the language on a QTEK9100 from French to English...
The reason I ask is I want to get a QTEK9100 for my father for his birthday next week but he doesnt speak french and so this would be totally pointless unless I could change the phone into english...
Please could someone help me! Step by step instructions would be most useful as I say I have no real knowledge on how to do this, its taken me 25mins to discover that my phone is a "Wizard..." whatever that means....
Thankyou in advance!!![/b]
I think you will find you will have to put a English rom on the PPC, i do not think there is another way!
Edit Stop the presses,
Ok if you go to Start/Settings/System/Regional Settings
But this will not change all the folder names and things like that! The only things that chnage are the calendar day and month etc
What is the PPC?
and also where do I find the said english rom? I have been trying to figure this out all day!
Thanks
Sorry i am not on that network, so not sure if this is the most up todat but here is the english one for you
ftp://xda:[email protected]_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
If this is not the most up to date does that mean that it wont be able to be installed over the software version that is already on the QTEK 9100?
Hello!
Go to this site and have a look for yourself. Since you did not provide us with a little more information (ie provider, country) it's hard to help you here. Normally you can downgrade to an older firmware, but it's not that easy. Watch out for a tool with romupgrade and noID in the name. But as always, dealing with this not official tools can brick your device.

PS: RUU and WWE shows it's an english ROM
You can flash to a new version of RoM which should be in English and your Qtek would be in English. The bootloader would still be in french but it really does not matter. The Keyboard is also problamatic since the French Keys layout remains, although it works as a QWERTY one. You can remap the keys but not worth it, its easier to memorize them.
you can check your Rom from start/settings/system/device information
just use a RoM which is newer than the installed french RoM
I bought qtek9100 and was told that it has English version of the Windows Mobile 5 in English, but it was in Swedish. Now I want to change the langauge, how to do it?
I have already unlocked the CID and phone using the lockiwiz.
I am completely new to the Mobile PDA stuffs, so try to be explicit like how to get into the ROM. I am whining also because of the linguistic reasons.
Help solicited and will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

im having the same problem with mine only mines in dutch.
but i figured i just moved here a month ago and its a good way to learn a bit of the language.
I've had my phone about 3 weeks and can now pretty much negotiate it all and picking up some dutch on the way. its all good.
Um, the question sorta confused me... I think you were asking how to change the language from Sweedish TO english... I feel the easiest way would be to flash a new rom (ok, maybee it is not the easiest, but it is the easiest I know of, it will be the most complete and you upgrade the thing at the same time, so why not?) I would flash the T-Mo 2.26, simply because it is the latest and I like it. I am not sure if it is worldwide English or American English (or what the heck the difference is anyway...) but I know it is english b/c I can read it... This rom is available somewhere around here, or PM me and I will email it to you... Hope this helps
Will changing ROM image change language?
Thank you everyone who replied to my question, yet I have some questions as below before proceeding (I used the lokiwiz0.2b to unlock sim and cid, do I still need to run the 0.3a version of lockiwiz?).
I downloaded the WWE ROM from ftp://xda:[email protected]_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
Now my question (of course newbie) is how to install it? And will Changing the ROM will change the language of the Windows Mobile 5.0 too?
Please be explicit (because I am lost in my qtek in a language which I don't understand and I am doing a guess work all the time). Thanks again.
Advice solicited!
I tried to execute the ROM image I downloaded as stated above but held back because the ROM seems to be downgrading from 2.17.7.203 SVE to 2.17.2.202 WWE. So I held back.
In the meantime, I came across three posts and got confused which one to follow?
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=54578
2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56088
3) http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37386&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
4) http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=38056&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
I expect advice from the XDA experts which one to follow? My main objective is to change the language (from Swedish to English of my WM5PPC) and make the connections faster (radio, wifi and GSM).
Kindly advise. Thank you in advance.
Hey, sorry if this has already been posted on how to change language, but i have some specific questions i would like to ask.
1) I bought the Touch HD from Taiwan and the language of it is Traditional chinese, i was actually thinking that it was an international phone and would have several languages to choose from... but apparently not.
How would i go about changing the language from chinese to english?
What would i have to do?
2) If i change the language, do i lose everything that is currently on my phone?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
You could just flash a new Rom, it will change the phone to that Rom and replace what you currently have, a lot of Roms have the same stuff just tweaked for better performance so you would not lose much.
That is assuming your not on a phone carrier plan of course, check out the different roms to suit what you want
This phone was bought outright so im assuming im not carrier locked (Kinda hard seeing as im in australia and it was bought in taiwan )
So i would have to use HardSPL?
There are two options to do it there are excellant directions for both in the ROM section I used HardSPL but the choice is yours
Hi all,
Apologies but im in a fix with the above phone. Its a UK HD2 on t-mobile ukl but i really need to get the phone into Hungarian. I cant seem to find that language anywhere in the settings. Is there something i can download and install Hungarian on the phone?
Any help is appreciated
Any help anyone?
well I can't help with how to add a language to your phone, but if you are willing to get into rom flashing, many cooked roms come with different languages installed. the rom I'm using (in my sig) has hungarian.
though I should think it shouldn't be too hard to add languages. keep searching the forums, I bet its dead easy once you know how.
Hi Guys,
I just finally got my TMobile HD2 and need the phone to be able to read Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
I would also like to be able to write Chinese on it although I still want to have the english interface on the phone.
I have looked up and read numerous threads in this forum about adding Chinese support but there seems to be just way too many different programs such as QQ input, CE Star, Shugou, etc that has confused me.
(I actually tried and installed QQ pinyin input, however they were still squares. I assume its because I don't have the font installed. I tried this because I haven't HSPL'd my phone and am worried about doing it since I'm a complete noob.)
Also, there seems to be a way to read and write chinese characters but after flashing the ROM to an Energy ROM or other compatible ROM FIRST which I found from another thread.
For all of you who have experience in this, what is the easiest way where I can
read and write Chinese and just also be able to read Japanese and Korean?
I would really appreciate the help!
Google RickyMSYH6.0FullBD to read chinese
Try this site, they have chinese rom and english rom that support chinese.

make sure it's for t-mobile or else you might brick your hd2.
good luck
