Although you cannot find google translate in the market, it appears as if (this version at least) will download and install just fine if you d/l it right from google and then sideload it.
Works wonderfully too, as a student of the japanese language I will find this very helpful.

Thanks for this. I've been looking for a version of Translate.
Recently Google Play add the Books Section for italian people. Do you know which is the criteria to have an access to this section? Is it an IP matter or what? There is a solution to buy some italian books living outside from Italy? THX ;-)
You can use an app who is called "Market Unlocker". In this app there is codes who define your market according to your country and it's allows you to choose the country what you want.
Try this link : http://www.4shared.com/android/vG_kBOC5/Market_Unlocker.html
Or u can try Market enabler: http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/
Ok, this is a bit weird and I'm sure that it's just an obscure setting somewhere on my device but...
I use gReader for my RRS/Google reader feeds. In it there is a great little function that uses the text to speech functions from either google or samsung to read aloud articles.
I've tried using TTS from both Google and Samsung - both seem to want to read to me in Spanish. So I go back to my homescreen - menu - settings - language and input - TTS output - I check all the settings make sure everything is set to English and to English UK where possible. I go back to gReader, find a wordy article and hit menu - voice reading - Still wants to read to me in Spanish.
So maybe it's a setting in gReader. I go to the in app settings, sure enough there is a settings page for the TTS. Nothing that suggests the language that will be used, with the exception of a check box asking if it should auto-translate. I uncheck this and try again. Still in Spanish.
Everything on my phone says I'm in England. Anyone know why Google TTS (when used in gReader) reads to me in Spanish?
On a sidenote the Samsung TTS does't seem to offer anything in English - however when used in Smartr alarm (the talking alarm clock app) - both Samsung TTS and Google TTS don't seem to have a problem reading to me in English.
Does anyone know whats going on or is this a case of just mailing the Developer?
X2 is not (and probably never will be) released in UK, so I bought one on Ebay from a supplier in China. Ad said "In English and Chinese" but I thought just choosing phone language should sort it.
BIG problems - phone is entirely localised for China. Can choose English as phone language (first menu at first power-up) but most of the apps are in Chinese only, including the Nokia Store. Nokia Store also only seems to browse a Chinese version, as most apps you would expect to find are not available. I managed to download an English copy of Nokia Store (App), but it won't install as it says "App with this name already exists" and the original (Chinese) version is not deletable.
Other huge problem is that Here Maps is missing altogether, there is some Chinese mapping app but it is nothing like Here (and entirely in Chinese). As you may know Here is not a downloadable App (or I haven't found it yet - maybe it is available via English Nokia Store but that won't install). Here Maps is one of the main reasons for buying a Nokia, so this is really annoying.
Any helpful thoughts would be welcome.

u can try Nokia Care Suite
and find what region u want from this link http://www.seidea.com/2014/07/19/software-update-for-nokia-x2-dual-sim-rm-1013-version-2-0-0-11/
to know how to use Nokia Care Suite u can find in Nokia X forum
good luck
I also imported my X2 from China, but removed all of the Chinese language apps (except Store, of course, since it can't be removed) and installed Google Play Store (and Google Maps). Now that I've poked about it with my X2 even further, getting around its simplistic interface -- by installing and customizing Apex Launcher and Widget Locker, for example -- I think this is quite likely the best phone I've ever owned.
Still, the lack of an English language Store does bug me. I'd at least like to check it out, even if there's nothing there worth downloading. Could you post the English Store installer for download? Perhaps it can be modified so as to allow installation on a device that already has a different version of Store installed. It's worth a shot, anyway.
Regardless, I hope you grow to love your X2 just as I have.
Software version is 2.1.0.11 (ie updated,not that it matters)
Product code currently is 059V789 Subvariant 2318 001
From Seidea then this is: 059V789: RM-1013 NDT CHINA CN
I presume I want 059V780: RM-1013 NDT EURO RU
Will read up on Care Suite on forum and post progress. Would be fantastic to sort this out!
Thanks, John
I do indeed like the phone, it is great (or would be in English!). I'll see if I can attach Store apk below. Just can't delete original (Chinese) version annoyingly...
John.
So downloaded Caresuite, running Data Package Browser but when I put in the Product Type (RM-1013) and Product Code (059-V780) it says "Unavailable". The image size is around 907MB.
When I blank the product code it suddenly finds it, but gives warnings:
Status: Files Missing
Firmware Files: 19.97MB (Local and Remote files missing)
So I don't think I would trust to attempt flashing this!
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks, John.

Edit: Trying it again gives different results - see next post

update to last version of nokia care suit it will support Nokia X2
Indeed - IT HAS WORKED!!!! with 059V780: RM-1013 NDT EURO RU
I suspect I should have loaded 059V799 NDT EURO but that was not on Seidea. Version 780 works in English but when it asks you what country you are in only offers Russian ones (including Ukraine - very non-PC!).
However, everything looks good, Store works, Here works, so I'm very happy indeed...
John.
Nokia Store (and any update) & Nokia Safe Center are stored in:
/custom/syspreload/
I browsed to this folder with Root Browser, and deleted them. Then I could install the English language Nokia Store without problems, and it works fine on the original Chinese firmware. Hooray!!
Other preloaded apps are stored in:
/custom/preload/
Note that when you uninstall preloaded apps, they still remain in this folder. So if you want to remove them completely and free up space, delete them from here so they're gone forever.
Exploring the /custom/ folder you can also delete preloaded wallpapers.
I guess this is of little to no help to you now, JohnWard42, but I thought I'd pass it along anyway.
I'm feeling really stupid tonight. I am trying to set up "Okay Google" to trigger Assistant and in Google settings, I'm told that I cannot setup it up as the current language isn't supported. Since I've selected US English I find that hard to understand. Am I missing something really simple? Thanks.
I also had this problem, UK as the primary language, but region was set to Romania. As soon as i set my region to UK, assistant started working.
