Hi all I am desperate. I just ordered my TyTn II from Expansys Hong Kong.
It is only after ordering that I realized that it is in the Traditional Chinese Language and not the World Wide English language. The Expansys UK site has the English units but I have already ordered.
What does Traditonal Chinese mean. Will the software be in Chinese. Will the QWERTY keyboard be in Chinese. And since I don't know Chinese will I not be able to use it.
In the meantime I have also e-mailed Expansys regarding the mistake I have made and let us see what they have to say.
Please help me in understanding what Traditional Chinese means.
there are two ways to write chinese: traditional and simplified. traditional is obviously the older one, where as simplified allows for less strokes per character.
they are not english
i dont know how it'll turn out on the phone though, just wanted to clarify what traditional was for you
Traditional Chinese is a Chinese script written by people unaffected by the Peoples' Republic of China's simplification of the Chinese script. Primary users are Hong Kong, Taiwan and their respective diasporas. At any rate, you can't type Chinese - it's not alphabetical.
Most phones sold in Hong Kong have both English and Chinese pre-installed, but that's not true for all phones, especially smartphones. There's a chance that you can switch yours to an English interface when you get it - I haven't bought a HTC device in Hong Kong, so I can't give you a definite answer.
They have an english one too on Hong Kong site too, so why don't give them a call?

As long as they have not shipped, Expansys usually do not object to cancelling the order. No worries there.
Hi,
New user but I felt I could add something to your problem.
I bought a TyTn2 in HK, and my understanding is that they ship 2 versions- chinese and english. There is no setting in the phone to change the language, and the diff language versions actually run different roms.
If in the end you get a chinese version, my understanding is english apps will work and the icons are fairly self explanatory.
If you are still struggling, then I guess you can hope that an english ver rom will take.

Chinese version do have a chinese keyboard which allow easy entry of chinese words.
It will work with all english and other language apps.
I am a chinese TyTNII user because I need Chinese input.
If you don't need the chinese input, just cancel the order and make a new one.
Thanks to everyone for all your responses.
What I have done is to cancel my order and made a fresh one at the Expansys UK site instead of the HK site.
And now the wait begins and once again thanks to all
Regards
I am a Japanese who lives in Thailand.
Note5 sold in Thailand is SM-N920C, and cannot select the Japanese language.
Then, does someone know how to add languages (Japanese language etc.)?
Hi,
Anyone know the diferences between the:
N920 vs N920i
N9200 vs N9208 (dual SIM)
All of you who have one of this, can you choose any language to the OS? (for example Portuguese in my case)
Thanks

There's no such thing as the "n920". That's a generic term used to group all the variants together. The actual models are SM-N920xy where "xy" is replaced with 1 or 2 characters to denote a variant. Different variants are sold in different regions and/or carriers. For example:
A,T,V - US (specific carriers)
C - Seems to be Mid/Far Eastern countries including Arabic regions, Portions of Russia, Vietnam.
I - Seems to be for Oceanic/Pacific regions (Australia, New Zealand, Singapore?, ?)
G - India
0, 8 - dual SIM models.. not sure of the regions
I've also seen X, KOR, R4, and others...
The differences between model variants tends to be different modems (radio frequencies supported) and different firmware preloads. Some models (A/V) have locked bootloaders. As mentioned, some variants have dual SIM support.
Thanks.
What about the language of the OS? Is OS multi language. I'm asking this because there's is no Note 5 released in Europe, and I want it in Portuguese.
Can anyone confirm me this?

My N9208 for keyboard and handwriting does have special menu settings for Chinese even if you select English as the only input language.

I'm not sure if I understood you right... Are you saying that even with english language chosen you have things in Chinese?
What I, also, would like to know, is if the language in the OS menus can be changed, i.e., if in "Settings/My Device/Language and input" menu it can be switched, for instance, to Portuguese language.
Thanks

Yes overall system you can choose Portuguese.
My point is that if you choose hand writing entry for the default samsung keyboard data entry (as opposed to qwerty) the input pad seems to assume you will enter Chinese characters irrespective of the keyboard input language. It is annoying.

So in handwriting it doesn't recognize "western" letters, isn't it?... Awkward...
Dear all
I have an honk kong version of note 5 SM-N9200 duos, dual sim,
I like Samsung Keyboard but i hate handwriting recognition, it's not possible to select it in italian language,
there is the possibility to change handwriting recognition replacing english version with italian versione (maybe note 4 handwriting recognition)
Thanks in adavnce.

hello i have the Note 8 SM-N950U T Mobile i want to put on my phone Greece Language..how can do this? i try from language and inputs but is half of them are Greek and the other half English how can put only Greece?
I don't think you can... The FW for US Note 8s is limited in the available languages, as opposed to full language support in international versions.
