Changing language settings on WM5

Hi All, I bought a 750v in Germany while on Hols recently but cant change the language to English. Will I need to flash it, If so how is it done and where can I get the firmware. Maybe I'm missing something simple but although I dont speak German I can get to the language settings and selsect English but I get an error message which I dont understand. Tried a hard reset but to no avail. Hope somone can help.. Thanks Stretcher.

Yup, you'll need to flash. I havn't bought mine yet but I first did a research. Since I live in Switzerland, it's hard to find anything in English. One on-line retailer told me the same thing - that though the ROM is in German, it could be switched to English. I then asked Palm and they confirmed that I should order an English version.

Thanks, Zerimar. Any idea where the firmware can be sourced ???

There's a Cingular ROM in the ftp but those who have flashed this ROM now complain that it has a lot of bugs. If you do flash with this ROM there's no way of flashing back your original.

Cheers Zerimar.
I'm a Vodafone customer and my sim works fine it just the language of WM5 thats the problem. Can I just flash an English version of WM5 on its own ???
Stretcher..

Unfortunately there's no other shipped rom available except the Cingular one.

Language change
Same problem here:
I recently bought a Palm Treo 750v very cheap, but it is in French language.
As far as i know the only solution to change the language is to flash the ROM with a different language.
Does anyone of you know where i can download a German or English ROM ?
You can also send me the link to download it to my PM.
Thanks in advance !

I have the same problem.
I bought the Palm from Vodafone and they assured me there was the italian language inside but no luck ... german only.
Any change to dump out the ROM from there?

Same here. Treo 750v in French.
My provider and even Palm told me to do a hard reset an a language selection prompt would appear .....
I don't think there is any Treo 750v with language selection,
this is not known on WM5 units, only on the multilingual Palm OS Treos.
I had the chance to flash it English, now it is usable for me.
Maybe there will be a German ROM soon ?

I found a way to change the language to English. But the phone app crashes then! It seems that all WM5 apps have a main language (english) and your local language as second language. However the phone app (by Palm?) must have one only language because it crashes all the time.
I seeked in the WM5 registry for MUI, my setting is 1040 (italian), so I tried to switch it to 1031 (german) and 1033 (english). And it worked, but the phone app would constantly crash and make the system slow.
There are also more keys that are specific to languages, like just search the registry for your language key (best results) or search for "lang".
Now the question is: can one just patch the phone app (cprog.exe i think) to support english or is it a different issue?

Hi there,
Have spotted that Calico had an original French-ROM 750v.
Calico, if it remained untouched, are you considering exchanging it with my original English-ROM version? Where are you based?
Cheers, Dom

if you can make MUI in german, you can use like this way.

request English T9 files

Hi, I've just installed the TW ROM for asia font support. Only now I realise predictive text no longer works.
Please can someone with English ROM post their T9 files for me? Also has anyone tried doing this and does it work?
While I'm here, anyone know how to change the interface language to English while keeping the East Asia language support?

I'd like to have the german T9-files for use with WWE-ROMs.

Well, to change the interface to English, you'll have to flash the WWE(English) ROM. Keeping East Asian language support depends on what kind of support you need. If you just need to view East Asian languages, you would need to put the appropriate font on the device. If you need to input Chinese/Japanese/Korean also, you would need to install the appropriate IME and SIPs. Since you haven't specified which East Asian language you need, I can't help any further.

excellent, in that case i might just copy all the files i need from the TW rom and add them back after flashing the UK Rom. I need chinese input too so what files do i need to make copy of?

Unfortunately, I don't know too much about getting chinese to work since I don't know chinese. You probably don't even need to copy the files from the TW ROM. Just search for "Chinese Input" on these forums, and I'm pretty sure you'll find threads dedicated to finding the complete solution that you need.

Problems on flashing my X1

Hello everyone!
I am a rookie to windows mobile. I would like to flash my X1 but I don't know if this will affect the display of Chinese characters in my phone. I use the keyboard to type chinese too. I don't know how to distinguish which rom will affect my X1's 'Chinese compatibility'. Anyone can teach me how to distinguish which rom is compatible with chinese, or how to make the rom compatible with Chinese.
Million thanks to you!!

[XPERIA X2]Installing other language support

Bought an X2 in English, need to convert it into Russian. I understand English very well, but I can't use russian keyboard at all - this is the biggest problem. So, is there any way to install Russian language into my phone, e.g. flashing/software? I have a russian firmware file ready to download, but don't know the way to flash it...

British English ROM?

I purchased a Wildfire online from Taiwan and it turns out it has Taiwanese software on it. I can change the language to English but would like to get rid of all the foreign stuff and wipe it with a plain English install. Where can i download the STOCK software for this, i would like to keep it official.
Thanks
