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
Hello, I want to change the display language to spanish in my AT&T HTC Surround but the setting appears to be locked (the option is in black background) and can't be changed when I tap on it.
Also, the only option for keyboard languages is english.
Am I doing something wrong or is it that AT&T removed those features?
Do you guys know if this will be fixed in a software update?
Thanks.
the OS supports spanish, but at&t probably chose not to include the language pack for whatever reason. It could be added in a future update, but its entirely up to at&t.

The solution is change the AT&T firmware to Telus Canada firmware. More information in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10176994#post10176994
Considering how much I enjoyed my dvp I decided to order two of them for a friend of mine. I made sure that they were carrier unlocked and I had them sent from the US. The dvps arrived with factory installed Mango and some t-mo stuff installed (?). I tried an Italian sim card to make sure they were unlocked and it worked perfectly so I just uninstalled the useless apps from t-mo and went in the settings panel to change the language of the device.
I'm able to change everything but the display language. From what I learnt on xda it needs a registry hack to fix this but considering the fact that we can't do that is there another way? My dvp can change the display language with no problem so I thought I could flash these dvps with the rom of my device but it seems a bit extreme to me...
(a cool thing about t-mo dvp is that it can set google as default search provider)
You do not necessarily need to mess with the registry to install additional languages. I was able to install the dutch language by using the Windows Phone update application from Microsoft after downloading the language pack and some other update packages from the Windows Update site. The links to these packages can be found here.
It may require an dev unlocked phone though, but I cannot be certain for that... I used ChevronWP7.
I successfully did the cab sender method but the display language is still "unclickable", any advice?

Anyone? I really need to change the language.
Someone in the update cab thread was saying that the DVP only allows you to use the english language pack. I don't know if this is true, or whether having a developer unlocked phone would help.

Ascario, did you install the Dutch language on a DVP, or was it another Windows Phone model?

That could be true. My dvp is dev unlocked but my subscription is expired and I can't unlock the other devices. I guess I'll have to wait 'till someone finds the way to unlock the damn dvp.

I did install the Dutch Language on my DVP. I have to admit I was surprised it actually worked and "Nederlands" became one of the options in the language menu. I have to add though that I have a German DVP, Italian was already one of the options. If I'm not mistaken, there is a difference between the US and European firmware. You basicly need a European DVP to add other European languages, except for Spanish perhaps.
do we have the .ffu of the european firmware? if so, is it safe to flash that firmware on US DVPs?
I'm a serious noob. I din't know what is ROM or HSPL before today. I just got a gift, HTC Touch2 which has Italian as default language. Now, I need to change it to English. I know I have to flash my phone with Eng ROM, but here is the problem. My idea about flashing, HSPL, ROM are not clear.
Can someone be kind enough to give me brief suggestions to do it and explain the process briefly..
Also, there are thousands of ROMs avaiable in the forum, but all are somehow customized. I need a fresh official ROM which won't change my phone anything except the language. All links in the HTC Thouch2 ROM database (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578915) are dead! So, where do I find such kind of ROM?
Thanks in advance
You don't need to change entire ROM just for languag change. I say, look in the book, there'll be something about it. Every official ROM comes preloaded with several languages. Try fidgeting around in the settings. You'll find some option.
Thanks, but that wasn't useful

I have visited every settings in the phone and I'm pretty sure that this ROM has no option to change language.
First try going to Settings -> System -> Regional Settings and changing it to English (country). It "may" work for you, depending on the ROM you have currently.
Otherwise, you'll have to flash an English ROM onto the mobile
Hi folks,
I have a P8lite unlocked and have always kept it in English with Portuguese keyboard and all..
I have moved from Portugal to Romenia and since then bought a Vodafone card as I wanted to use the same network.
The problem is I want to install Myvodafone from here and it says that this app is not available in my region and for the life of me I can't figure out how to install it or remember how can I bypass that or temporarily change it so I can see my pay plan in MyVodafone.
I tried to google it and all but maybe I'm asking the wrong questions and it has no results.
Can someone help me change my region or figure out how to install My Vodafone from Romenia so I can keep track of my data/payment plan ?
Thanks in advance
My Vodafone app is maybe locked for Romania, i think the best is for you to reset your phone and swich it to Romania this way My Vodafone app will work. If not just use *100# or *123# for info about your account. So... learn Romanian language.
AFAIK its not needed to reset your phone and switch to romanian language, as the phone language is just used for the GUI. Try an apk downloader like evozi (google it), that way you can bypass region restrictions (doesnt work for paid apps tho).
