Answer is NO. If you want change language in the ROMs, best way is to flash your device.
But, there is also another way, which really complicated. Basically, you should dump exactly the same ROM, but with different language. And then replace nearly all files in the ROM.
I have never tried that, but some guys on other forums did (by using .cab files). I don't recommend this way.
If you want to keep stock spl, all you need is USPL.

that's what I've tought. And this idea with changing files in Rom, well honestly is to complicated for me THNX for answer. Now I have to find stabil ROM with wm6.1 and manila 2.1

HTC p3600 language change

Hi,
I need to change a Portuguese Vodafone trinity into english. I have tried to update ROM with the ones available on the FTP but all I got was the 1% -> reset problem.
Does anyone have a compatible rom for this phone?
Is there a way to change vendor ID?
Is there another way to change the language other than updating the rom... maybe by changing some files or something?
I think this topic is of interest to many people for different languages, I have seen questions asked over the internet but no awnsers given.
I asked vodafone to change the language but they said to look on the internet!! LOL
Thanks in advance for any replies to this topic.
Cliff
You won't be able to flash a rom in a different language unless you CID unlock your Trinity.
Replacing ROM files to change the language is possible, but AFAIK no one has done it on trinity yet, see Asukal's enlgish MUI on the Hermes wiki, probably you can do something similar for the Trinity ROMs.
I not found enlgish MUI, please help me. I using HTC P3600.
thanks

this thread as 2 months, SSPL_TRIN wasn't realised yet...
Now of course you can use the SSPL_TRIN to update to any rom...
Maybe this http://pocket-pc.penreader.com/index.html software can do what you need.
Have a look at: http://www.sunnysoft.cz/download.php
if you want to change the language of your Trinity
Hey VOLUME what kind of software is it? It is only 5,75Mb so i don't think it is a flash for the ROM
It is a software that change the language of your PPC, ie if you have English rom you can change to other languages for all menys, input keyboard

This is some what complicated. Check out the Kaiser FAQ in my Signaure below. Look for the part about ROM "dumping," then rebuilding a dumped ROM

It is bit of a complicated process and requires you to do some WORK on your part (since you posted without searching i am assuming that is not one of your venues of expertise). Here is the link you need to follow on learning how to dump your original Kaiser rom and than reconstruct into a flashable "nbh" file.

If anyone of the terminology above is new i highly recommend that you read the kaiser wiki and stickies before you play around with your toy or you will mess it up.

You mean "flash" a new ROM. Cooking it means creating the ROM itself, which I don't think you'll be able to do for quite a while.
Yes, you should flash the stock, or a modified SWE ROM. See the Library thread for links.

It can be done by replacing all the language packs (_0409) and by editing or replacing config/provxml files. Best place to discuss this is the cooking class thread.

1. Yes, you can do that.
2. If you can extract the rom (don't know if the rom is secrued,). But if it's not, you open OEM & SYS and change the (_0409) packages to (_040x) German
I suggest you have downloaded the orginal German rom for this!
3. . . . .
But good luck, (you could also just ask the single cook, to make a german rom for you? )

Great! thanks for your information!
i will try this, and let know if it works for me! Is it important to have take the OEM en SYS from the same rom version as the cook? or doesnt that any effect.
just remember to use a initflashfile that is either translated to your language or use one from official rom with your language (last is always prefered)
cheers
Is it possible to da that but with different rom versions?
Like, I have a portuguese official rom version 1.14 and I want to change a wwe 1.19 official rom to portuguese. Is that possible?

Yeah, itje, i dont know realy what you mean.. but the question of jpmassena is also my question.... does it matter if i use different rom versions?
updates
Well, I managed to do *something*.
Here's what I did:
1- With the kitchen I extracted both WWE 1.19 and PTG 1.14 roms;
2- Then I replaced all the content of OEM/PACKAGE_BlackStone_YouTube_HKCSL_WWE_0409 with the content of OEM/PACKAGE_BlackStone_YouTube_0816.
3- I replaced 0816 with 0409 in the file's names.
4- Cooked the rom and flashed it to my HD.
When the process stoped I had everything in english except the Youtube App
Everything in the youtube App was portuguese (except the video categories, don't know why). Now I'm reverting to the portuguese rom to see how the videos categories shows up. Maybe They were in english because the system wqas recognized as english.
BTW, I did this that way just to see if it was possible.. I will read a bit more to do it the proper way, without trying to "fool" the os with filenames...

Cooking on stock ROM?

I'm interested in starting to cook, but as far as I know I need to have a stock ROM. Is this true, and if it is, why cant I cook on already cooked ROMs?
Where do I find stock ROMs? I want a swedish one, any 6.5-version and an english one, 6.5.5.
I have downloaded a swedish stock ROM from htc.com but that one is a .exe and I assume I need .nbh. Can I convert it?

You don't have to have a stock ROM but in some cases, it does help make it easier if you have one for your device.
You can open the .exe file with winrar and extract the files. The .nbh file should be in there.
Also, one of the new Kitchens I think will open up the .exe file and extract what it needs. Look through this Kitchen thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628948

I'm using that kitchen and when I try to open the few cooked ROMs I already have I get this message: "Can't extract files or build packages from IMGFS structure. Please make sure the ROM is not corrupted and that it's an original ROM update released by the manufacturer."
WinRAR worked. Thanks. Now I need to find an english 6.5.5 whick can be opened in osKitchen.
You will not be able to dump most cooked ROM because of the way that the Kitchen put them together originally.
You should be able to download a source from the first post of that thread, and they have some updated system packages as well like 23541. You can also find the EXT packages there as well.
Found it now, thanks
Ok, I dont know if this cooking stuff really is for me. I dont understand what I'm doing. I managed to strip all HTC stuff from the stock ROM (a bit too much, a few things doesnt work) but that's pretty much it.
Maybe I'm trying to do stuff that cant be done.
My main goal is to get a clean WM 6.5.3/6.5.5 swedish ROM.
Should I get an english 6.5.3/6.5.5 ROM and change the language to swedish or get a swedish 6.5 ROM and upgrade it to 6.5.3/6.5.5 or do I have to find a swedish ROM which already is 6.5.3/6.5.5?

After you have dumped the Stock, you have the drivers, then go to the link and download a build, copy this into the folder sources, so OEM into OEM, sys into sys ETC... then launch the kitchen, select build and language. DO NOT DISABLE ANYTHING IN OEM AND BE CAREFUL WITH SYS!!! disable everything in EXT and you have a clean ROM
It worked! Not a very good ROM yet, but it starts at least
I've tried to change the welcome screen in the tweak settings but I cant see any difference. Where is that supposed to show?
And what is the difference between splash screen and welcome screen?
