Hi there,
I am currently living in Beijing, China but my chinese is lousy. Nevertheless I am interested in the TyTn II available on chinese ebay. They only offer chinese versions though.
My question is whether a ROM-update will make it into english or if there is any other convenient way (or maybe no way at all??).
Thank you.

I turned my Taiwan TyTn II (had Traditional Chinese ROM v1.56.xxxx) into English by simply flashing it with a English rom. Remeber to install HardSPL first though.
ditto
just flash the exact rom after HSPL,your device will be in english~
and then maybe you will need some keyboard patch to map the keys right,thats all,you could easily find them with the search button

Hi,
Just bought a new Qtek 9090 here in France. I was very interested in changing the ROM over to an English version but I wonder if changing from French to English ROM will cause a problem with the keyboard.
Here in France they use the AZERTY keyboard whereas most of the world uses the QWERTY keyboard. I looked around in the settings and couldn't find anything that lets me select a English keyboard so if I did manage to swap the ROM does that mean that I would be stuck with QWERTY software and AZERTY hardware?
TIA for any help,
Dimitri
Did you get a good deal on the phone or something? Why didn't you just purchase the QWERTY version? IE: PDA2K.
There in "GENERAL" it's a thread that can help you to remap the keyboard.
It's unfinished project but You can try it.

Hi there
I've got the AthineOS WWE in English (english ROM Version, WM 6.1). I don't want to change the language actually, but I'd like to use the Letter Recognizer Function for writing SMSes/MMSes. It does work, but because I need to write in German it would be perfect, if I could somehow bring my Kaiser to recognize the handwritten Umlaut Inputs...my old P3300 with Swissgerman ROM did that, so I guess it depends on the ROM. Perhaps there is some hint or .CAB File to change that?
Thanks so much in advance

No ideas?
Well, I was running the official HTC German 6.1 ROM on a US HTC Tytn II (non-AT&T but the real one) - made it easier in a long run. It was even more fun having the entire device in German. Setting up the hardware keyboard to US English ... well, that part I had to figure out on my own since nearly everything on here was nothing but a TILT fix. In the end that was not hard either:

hi, i wan to install chinese on X1... wat should i do??
Use google my friend but that will probably bring you back to these forums. You can't change the language in Windows Mobile. You'll need to flash the ROM of your phone, and write the chinese X1 ROM on to it. I'm looking into it myself to, and as far as I know it isn't without risk and it's quite a specific procedure.
Perhaps these topics will get you started:
XPERIA X1 ROMs: All available ROMs and RADIOs
Flash X1 without PC - Micro SD Method
Tutorial: Debranding the X1 / Flashing ROMs
Actually you can install CE-Star on your mobile. That'll get you up and running with Chinese.
CE-Star does indeed can even change the menus of a English ROM into Chinese.
On the topic of the Chinese input and reading only, I use CE-Star to get the reading and fonts. However CE-Star's input method is pretty archaic and IMO doesn't gel with the hardware keyboard very well. For example there is no keyboard short cut to switch between English and Chinese input on the fly (at least none I can find).
After some research on mainland China Sony Ericsson websites comes up PlumSIP to be a very popular input software in mainland China. It uses the "au" key on the hardware keyboard as a toggle between Chinese and English input. You can download it free in on the developer's website below.

I don't know if it'll work without CE-Star, I haven't tired to have PlumSIP without CE-Star. I've both installed and use PlumSIP for input. The other WM Chinese input software ZTA4 (is also good) doesn't work without CE-Star installed to read Chinese.
<EDIT> Ok I double read the Chinese site, and you can use PlumSIP without CE-Star, just add the fonts to display Chinese text. For more info check this thread: http://sebbs.it168.com/thread-1370026-1-2.html
is there anyway i can change chinese interface to english? i search it on the forums and all i got is i need to flash rom on my phone. so,, there is really no other way to do it myself??
where should I save the font on the X1?? I installed the PlumSIP on the X1 but it just shows squares... please help!
I just purchased a T8285 recently, but need help in flashing/changing the interface language to Traditional Chinese.
As all you know, the T8285 is the Australian version (supports 850 3G band).
I need the ROM language version from T8282 in Traditional Chinese (sold in Asia -- aka Taiwan/Hong Kong version).
I have not done any phone ROM flashing before, so a step-by-step instruction would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks again!
Starting with the "sticky" threads and the wiki would help you alot!

Most shipped roms, just find the one in the language you need: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Ship_exe
Finding a ROM in traditional Chinese may prove difficult here. For the most part, you're going to have to look on forums that center around the Taiwan and Hong Kong XDA communities. While xda-developers is perceived by many as the "main" xda site, in reality it is almost completely devoid of Asian language ROMs. Usually what you'll find here in CHT are crap ROMs from a long ago.
For Simplified Chinese CHS: you can turn to http://bbs.592ppc.com and http://www.xda-china.com. 592 is also a good place to get provisioning CABs for the three 3G networks on the mainland.
For Traditional Chinese CHT:
http://forum.5imobile.tw/forumdisplay.php?f=41
Also, htc-world.com etc. I don't really know much about the CHT scene, but there seem to be many ROMs to choose from.
If what you want is just the ability to operate in a Chinese world with your phone, it is rather easy to add Chinese language support to an English phone. While the system pages may still be written in English, applications will have no trouble displaying Chinese and you'll be able to send and receive text in Chinese.
To do this you'll need:
1) An Asian language supporting wince.nls file. You just use Total commander to copy it over the file in your \Windows directory.
2) A traditional Chinese font. You can get this from your Windows PC.
3) You'll need to add that font to your FontLink entries in your registry.
* Many ChineseFont CABs do steps 2 & 3 for you, but you can do it yourself.
4) An input method. The best I think is A4 2.8 (not 2.4) for Dopod HD. It's a PinYin keyboard that supports both simplified and traditional, but as well has English support sufficient for me (a native English speaker) to use for 100% of my typing.
If you need any help with these things, just let me know.

Is it possible to change User Interface language e.g. from German to English? Or is it necessary to change the whole image?
Thank you very much for reply...
Yep. My UI is english instead of german, but all localization options are set to german (time-format & co.). If you browse the marketplace with this settings, you get a german description of apps (if available), but after installing them the ui of them is set to english.
My language options are englsh/german/spanish on my german o2 HD7.
So far my experience.
Thank you very much... I am on my way to Germany to buy one... ))
Hmm, maybe you won't have luck. It's sold out here everywhere.
Its was not. I bought one in Dresden...
And I have seen several of them in O2 shops in Munich as well. They didnt have them in store but when I asked the sales, he said, that he has couple of them on stock.
Find the shops in your area, check if they have it and go

Till now I thought, I have a good phone (HD2) but since I have HD7 I dont like it anymore.
