I just got a D5803 from Amazon. Phone was opened and while most language is in english, the in menu options were in polish. I went to change language and see that english and polish are above the line at the top of the languages, so it's like I can't "de-select" polish.
Does this resolve itself after putting in my AT&T sim?

I have been using my xperia for about a month now and when I bought it, it came with a memory card to help install Arabic. The software is called Multilingual Support 3.0 from MoBiDIV.
I have it on "English with Arabic enabled" because I only need to read Arabic messages and do not want the menu in Arabic. This is all fine except sometimes when I am typing an SMS in English, the language randomly changes to Arabic and I do not know how to change it back so I have to shut the device off and switch it on again for it to go back to English input.
If anyone can tell me how to change it back to English without having to restart the phone, I would appreciate it because it is becoming very annoying. I do not need to type in Arabic and the keypad does not have Arabic letters on it anyway. If I have to type in Arabic, I can use the virtual keyboard installed.
Sorry for my long post, hope someone can help.
is your text alignment in the program set to context? and did u change the regional settings and the settings in the program to english uk? if so i cant see a reason for it to change to the right side..i have the same thin?
Yeah, it is set to context and my regional settings is set to English (New Zealand) because I like the time to be 12-hour.
It doesn't happen every time, but sometimes when I am in the middle of a message it changes to Arabic which leads me to believe that it must be some sort of keyboard shortcut such as (alt+enter) but I haven't figured it out.
I think you accidentally press the Arabic key board switch in the middle of the msg (3een)
I too have xperia with arabic Multilingual Support 3.0 from MoBiDIV
I just faced this problem today. mine is the latest ROM update. i only reinstalled MoBiDIV from the 128mb MiroSD card i got when i first bought my xperia. i found that when you press the blue function key then the shift button (fun+shift) the keyboard switchs to arabic and you can't go back to english.
the only things you can do is lock the shift key where you can have all the english litters in CAPITAL and if you unlock the shift key you'll returne to arabic
i didn't try soft reset i just disabled the arabic support restart and then re enabled arabic and i'm back to normal.
Anyone know if english language exist and can be choosen on the spanish magic?? Mailed Htc about buying the phone in spain and they said that only spanish language is on the phone
yes, you can change language on spainsh magic
Depending on SW customisation, if you switch to English, you actually change your local Settings too. Having Keyboard layout changed, UK comments on Android Market, etc.
Sadly we cannot pick, for example, English for UI and different localization Settings.
At least, this is the limitation I have on mine (SFR / VF customization). But it seems units sold in Asia allow separate Ui / Regional settings.
Hej,
Yes, you can change the language to English. I recently purchased mine online from ebay, and the phone was originally from Vodafone Spain.
hi, can you give a little more info on how to change the langauge, is it like a htc elf, you need a whole new firmware,
basically, how...
heres how you do it.
Buy it in spanish from vodafone spain.
when it starts up for the first time, you will see the android pictur.
tap the Cambiar idoma button in the bottom right corner
select one of the various Inglés options.
Then the device will be in english and you can sign in as normal.
If you have already signed in in spanish, go to the home screen.
Press the menu button
tap Ajustes
scroll to and select idioma y pais
select configuracion local
select one of the Inglés options
How can i change my keyboard language from english to greek . I go to menu , settings , language and keyboard , touch input , settings and the default language is only english and nothing else .I want to put there the greek language so i could write with greek with my hardware keyboard . Thank you
I want to know too
I want Thai landuage on Europe Fw.
Up.
I'm also interesting in changing my languages. For this purpose, I tryied to change it by using morelocales. The result is that now, I'm well localised on websites (i.e, youtube from the good country). But I don't have the good language predictive feature.
In the keyboard parameter, I have configured a foreign language but I don't see any difference.
How can I solve this?
Thanks for your help.
I forget. I tried by using swype. It works with the virtual keyboard but I lost the predictive feature with the physical keyboard.
bump.
i would also like to be able to use Chinese pinyin on the hardware keyboard.
Using google pinyin works, but i have to change the input everytime because the english sucks.
I have a international version of the Galaxy Note. So far I love it. I have french on it but it gives me an azerty keyboard instead of a qwerty one. Is there a way to change the keyboar layout for that french or is there a way to add canadian french to the languages?
Try going to settings, then to language and keyboard then select language as English UK. This language has qwerty keyboard as default.
Then go back to settings, language and keyboard and set French as the phone language.
Now press home key. Open up the keyboard (e.g on messaging/browser/email), and click the key with the world symbol on it (bottom row of keyboard on left - with Swype).
By clicking this, u should now be able to switch easily between qwerty and the other keyboard type, whilst keeping the general phone language French. Hope this helps.

Couldn't attach this to previous post for some reason, but think this kind of keyboard set up is what you're after

I have the US version, AT&T SGS3 phone, not the international one, and I would like to add portuguese (brazilian) to it.
On my previous S2 (international version) it came with but with ATT, it does not.
Anyway, if I go to applications, settings, language and input, language, it only offers me these 6 choices.
english
deutsch
espanol
francais
italiano
and one asian language that I cannot type!
or
if I go into the text message screen, then into the samsung keyboard settings, Language settings, it still only offers these languages
english
deutsch
espanol
francais
italiano
and one asian language that I cannot type!
anyway, I need brazilian portuguese. Is there any way to get that?
I did some searching and saw how you can open up 5 more "hidden" languages but those do not include portuguese either.
any help would be appreciated.
thank you.

Click to collapse
that is a start. thank you for the link/idea. it helps somewhat in that it does change some things over to portuguese. which will definitely be useful. the one thing it does not do is go into the text messaging features.
what I am really trying to do is add portuguese to the swipe keyboard. There is a little toggle button you hit when you are inputting text. If you have three languages already selected, the button toggles between the three I need to add portuguese to that toggle because it then uses the portuguese dictionary to help me spell out everything I need to spell out, in portuguese.
anyone else have any ideas, input, solutions?
