Please help me to read/input Korean!
I have been doing studying with this forum that I can change my locale in the registry to change the characters in 3Dflo but my language comes out as square, not actual character. I was thinking that it is definitely missing fonts. I also would like to read emails and send emails in korean if possible.
If you can resolve this issue and all the settings, I definitely am in mood for donating!! Please help!
My phone is HTC CDMA Diamond from Telus.
Thanks very much!!
You will need two things: 1) Korean language support to display characters (just a font file + FontLink registry settings), and 2) Korean IME to input/write Korean characters.
There are different solutions to both parts (Diopen, SmartCJK, Asukal, etc) but none seem to be perfect.
Some info and suggestions:

Thanks
I tried diopen, and it does not even install in my HTC Telus diamond.
Second, CJK, I can not find korean fonts in official sites.
They only said about the chinese and japanese.
Please let me know where I can purchase them or download them.
The link provided is only for the chinese input.
Thanks for your help but need more info... thanks
Guys, girls
Don't know if anyone have posted this yet, but here it goes.
It seems that there are many languages preinstalled in the OS, just not activated. In a simple procedure, i changed my OS language and got the dictionary of my native language (
T9 norwegian if anyone wonders), and it works with everything from widgets, settings blablabla..
I found this trick at
http://www.swedroid.se/forum/showpost.php?p=18162&postcount=32
For those of you that don't understand swedish, it goes as follows:
Download CustomLocale.apk from here: http://yochai.dyndns.org:8888/android/apps/CustomLocale.apk
*Edit, uploaded to another mirror: HERE
Then copy it to your sdcard. Use a apk installer to install the program. Then launch the app, choose your language, and quit.
Voila
No rooting etc.
Some have responded that some of the languages dont work. This swedish guy didnt manage to get his sv_SE language to work. He then just manually entered a new locale "sv", and then it worked. Might happen for ur country aswell (?).
Edit: Languages that reportedly works _with_ keyboard layout:
Norwegian Bokmål: nb
Swedish: sv
Spanish: ES
cheers
Wow, I'm superinterested in this. I have a Dutch Hero and I wanted the Spanish Keyboard. Tiddylicious, can you confirm that this provides the HTC autocorrection dictionaries and not only the keyboard layout?
By the way, the link to the download seems to be down...
Norwegian autocorrection works. Don't know how it is for other languages sry, so i guess u just have to test.
Let me know
I've tried and it hasn't worked for me :-(
The phone OS indeed changed to Spanish. Every menu and option are now in Spanish, except what I wanted the keyboard language. This still lets me only chose among the default installed ones. Any help?
EDIT:
It worked!!! Thanks man! You don't imagine how grateful I'm for this. I've been using the keyboard until now without the prediction and correction features, such an improvement now.
There were two options for Spanish es_ES and ES only. The second one did the trick.
Does it work on Magic?
No idea, sorry. It worked for me on the Hero, don't know if it will on the Magic.
It does.
The application was created in July.
I`ve bought my english version Hero in Norway about 1 week ago. , My OS is in english, but my T9 is in norwegian . , Changed from the keyboard settings.
Will this change anything else? .
Biggest problem is that prediction with words containing æøå by only tapping "a" and" o" where it should be ( not holding them to slide to the correct letter) are only done in landscape . In portrait these word options dont come . Will this change?
Thanx.
Rui-Cruz:
The landscape problem with a o -> å æ is not solved by this. As I been told, this is reported to htc. Lets hope the major update will solve this. Quite annoying...
Stilghar: Good to hear! As the swedish guy reported, sometimes there are different options for same country region.
If people from other areas get the keyboard and the os to work, let me know, ill update the first post
Does anyone know who has developed Custom Locale.apk??
I want to ask that person whether it is possible to edit the language text, as it - at least in Danish - contains A LOT of mistranslations.
Thank you.

The CustomLocale changes only the locale. The individual applications come with support for other languages (or not), and they decide which language to display based on the locale setting. The CustomLocale.apk does not contain any translations by itself.
I'm still looking for German text input support. My english Hero only supports English, French, Italian, and Spanish keyboard languages. Changing the locale changes the names of the languages to the German equivalent (as expected), but does not add any languages to choose from.... Presumably the Hero sold in Germany supports German text input!?!
But there must be some xml files in the core system that specify the actual interface text... or am I wrong??

I tried the Greek language but didn't work...
Nice try though...
get the standard 2.73.405.5 ROM from modaco...that includes greek built in.
Got a HTC hero about 2 weeks ago, english language ofc. However i live in sweden, so im wondering: Will this change my whole phone into swedish? or just my T9 keyboard correction?
Because i rly dont want to have my phone in swedish, I prefer english on my electronics, feels much better IMO
It will change the entire OS, icluded the t9. If I understand u correctly, u want it in english, with swedish T9?

Exactly what i want .
I dont acculy know why I prefer english though.. its probably because I feel like it is more correct and easyer to understand in english, just makes more sence... but i guess, if it is as it says, that the other languages are already in the phone, its translated by HTC, so i should probably have nothing to worryabout anything being wrong...
I have en_GB locale. Tried russian(ru_RU), works! But, I want to have an english locale with english keyboard and also with russian keyboard. Ideas how to do it?

Is yours an official Hero ROM? If so how did you get Russian to work? I am with nofowuw on this, I prefer my electronic in English but English-transliterated Russian looks awful and takes more characters to boot. I checked around, but still can't seem to find any app to allow Cyrillic input (I can live w/o T9, just give me the damn keyboard).
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.

On the XT860 there are only the language options English, French, Spanish and Portugese. (This is system language I am talking about. For messaging other languages fortunately are available.)
That is not a major problem except when apps like MN do not have an own language setting but use the system language instead. I do not mind the program itself being in English, but the English pronounciation of German street names is really irritating.
So, does anyone have an idea if it is somehow possible to change the system language on an XT860 to German?
Alternatively is there a way to make MN use another language than the system one? I know this last one has been asked many times (for different phones) and apparently nobody has found a solution yet. Maybe someone on here has good idea? Fiddling with the names of the sound files (IE renaming them did not yield any results for me.)
use morelocale 2 from the market
Thanks, that was easier than expected.
At first I thought it wasn't working, but after a reboot all is well.
Phone now has a strange mixture of German for some menus and the default English for most other but I guess you can't have it all.
Hi everyone!
I have a bit of a special problem here:
I live in Germany and use German as main language in my Home Mini. Works fine. It also reacts well when I ask stuff in english.
Now, occasionally I want it to translate stuff, especially for my wife, because she's trying to brush up on her english.
Now, if I tell Google Home to translate a phrase to english, it always uses the US accent which is terribly annoying. I haven't found any way to make it reply in UK english. All thebguides I found were for changing the main language, but that doesn't apply.
Can I tell it specifically to translate to UK english somehow, or change a Setting that makes it reply in UK english in general if it is asked to translate something the english? I just don't like the US accent with all it's "a" letters turned into "ä" and so on...
