First of all, I own a HTC Radar which is a WP7 device. I purposely post in this forum as I think it is way more active than WP7 forum. The thing is: WP7 supports far less display languages than WP8 does. For example, there is no Croatian language in WP7. My question is, is there any way to "add" new languages to WP7 unofficially or to alter existing languages so their translations would match to Croatian? Or is there any way to use Croatian from WP8 on WP7?
Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone.
First of all, I would like to say that this forum and this community are one of the bests I've ever encountered before.
After that, I've got a couple of questions that would help me finaly buy this Diamond...
1°) Using a lot my email account, and knowing it's a Windows Live one, will it work on the 'Mail' tab in TF3D? Or do I have to go all the way through programs==> Windows Live? Will it work as a standard Windows Live Mail like on my Pc?
2°) Also I would like to know if a French version supports Greek characters for texting.
Thank you for your replies.
Edit : Also, being a fan of Microsoft, I own a Zune, & a Xbox 360. Is there any interaction possible? Especially with the Zune Software on my PC (Replaces WMP11 for my Zune device and is a kick ass) ?
Regards.

Answer 1) I use the Live function of my phone, and it integrates fully with the TouchFlo 3D so yes, it works as normal email just settings are done through the Live application (which is brought up when you go into normal email settings anyway).
Answer 2) I can't say for French roms but I have a English ROM Diamond and the Greek letters are on there, just stashed way down on the symbols list.
I hope this helps. I don't know if you can Greek as a proper keyboard on an English or French ROM, but if you find out you can please let me know as this would be nice for me too.

Thanks for your response, I will look into it.
Anyone else, who owns a Zune could tell me if Zune software works with the Diamond?
Microsoft announced that WP7 devices that they are currently releasing will NOT receive any language updates and that country's that are currently blocked from Marketplace/Xbox Live will always be blocked on those devices.
I really want the HD7, but also want to be able some time in the future to set the device to my native language (Dutch) and to use the Marketplace for the Netherlands once developers start putting dutch apps on there.
I've seen some ROM's already posted here and was wondering whether such things can be changed in ROM's once Microsoft releases more languages on WP7 in mid 2011.
The question really is:
Can i get a HD7 already and have good faith that this will be able in the future (with all the talk round jailbreaking the OS or custom ROM's) or should i wait for other device releases in the Netherlands and stick with poor old WM6 for the time being?
Moved to General.
How are the WP7 changing UI language? Is it possible for example switch the HD7 sold by O2 DE to English or do you have to change image?
Come on guys, nobody knows if its possble to change UI language of your phone?

However I would also like to know more details about this.
Hello,
I am planning on buying a HTC 8X with Windows Phone 8. As a previous Windows Phone 7.8 user (I own the HTC Trophy), I have a question about the display and keyboard language on my new phone.
My question is, if the device I buy is the German Vodafone version can I add the Greek language (my native) even if it is not listed in the languages list?
Another question is, if there is no way to add Greek language as the display language, is there a way to add just the greek keyboard so that I can write greek?
Thank you in advance
all WP8 devices have all supported languages in WP8... no need and no possible to add additional language...

on unlocked/custom ROM Wp7 with Native Keyboard maybe?
with WP8 only in settings you can add available keyboards
My unlocked german Lumia 920 allows me to install the greek keyboard under Settings / Keyboard
As for UI language I can't tell as they decided to write language names in the UI selection in the countries letters and there's quite some that I can't read. How would you write "Greek" in greek?

Well, Greece in Greek is 'Ελλάδα' (Hellada) or sometimes 'Ἑλλάς' (Hellas).
Perhaps somebody can inform me if it's possible to install extra languages but retain a certain (fixed) keyboard lay-out.
That is to say, I tend to converse in English, Dutch and German all the time and sometimes in French. I would like to be able to install these dictionaries and use the languages interchangeably, but keeping all the same QWERTY-layout all the time.
In other words: when I write something in German, I want the keyboard to retain the US-style QWERTY-layout that in standard in the Netherlands, rather than the QWERTZ-layout that is standard in the German-speaking countries. Similarly, the keyboard shouldn't switch to AZERTY when writing something in French.
This piece of information I haven't been able to find out from the documentation on-line. Because utilities such as Swype and especially SwiftKey do not exist for Windows Phone (yet?) it's something I'd like to know before I make the plunge.
Hello!
I'm from Germany and new here to xda-developers. I've been reading these forums for a long time, but now I've got a question related to 8.1 and Cortana.
I know that I can use Cortana in Germany by changing my region and language to "United States", but might there be a registry key to enable her without changing regions?
I'd like to ask this in the developer forum, but it's not possible as I'm a new user
Best regards!
Yes, you can enable Siri in any language without changing onscreen language. Is it possible in wp?
