Is it possible to change the language of a phone from English to Japanese. I am receiving my Touch Pro from Sprint on Monday and would rather Japanese than English as my English is not very well. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, I don't mind flashing a ROM. I've done it several times for my fellow friends and feel confident in my ability to do so.

Apparently the X05HT is a Touch Pro, this I did not know. Now my question would be this, the ROM you linked me to is for a phone that contains a SIM card yes? Would this ROM not brink my CDMA Touch Pro?
IGNORE --> How will these files help me? They are segments of a device's entire ROM.
This is for GSM, WCDMA version only.
Don't flash your phone if you even can not understand the meaning of that post!

Hello,
I received my Qtek 8500 recently and it has many T9 Languages, but no Portuguese. Can anyone help me install Portuguese T9 on it? Many thanks,
Alan
If you don't already tried, you can see http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56710
It's for tornado/faraday smartphones but maybe it's working also on the star trek.
Thanks. Unfortunately, I saw that yesterday and tried it but it did not work. Maybe we need the file extracted from the ROM of the Star Trek...
What about flashing the i-mate Smartflip WWE ROM on it ?
I have it and it has Portuguese T9...
Just my 2 cents.
Ciao
At the moment it is not possible to flash the iMate ROM to the Qtek because it is CID locked. But maybe you could give me the Portuguese files and I could try to install manually without changing the ROM. It is simple. Please add me to your MSN and we can work this out hopefully. My MSN is [email protected]. Looking forward to it. Thanks!
Alan
Help Needed
OK, I received the files from Mix (many thanks, man!), and tried to add the T9 Portuguese, but it is not working. I have it as available now, but when I input anything, nothing happens. The procedure I followed was the one posted by Ronswens. Maybe for the Qtek 8500 there is a different procedure. If anyone can help, please do. It will be much appreciated. Thanks,
Alan

Just a question: did you unlock your device, or is it still locked ?
I don't mean SIM locked, but application locked !!!
Please, have a look if you can move links within "\Windows\Start Menu" and its subdirectories...
Otherwise it would be anyway difficult...
And/or maybe there are some other references within the registry that could prevent you succeed...
Just my 2 cents...
Ciao (and good luck...).
Hi Mix,
Yes, I do have the phone application unlocked. I used HTC Registry Editor to change the value of those 2 keys and then I ran the SDA Application Unlock executable. So I believe it is fully application unlocked. Just for the sake of it, I tested moving the shortcuts from the Windows\Start menu as you suggested and I had no problems in doing it... So I believe we have to find out what else is necessary... But thanks again for your support! And congrats on the Fifa World Cup!
Alan
Michele,
I think I am closer now to the problem. I tested with Spanish and it worked. However, it does not work with Portuguese no matter what I do. But now we know that I am not making any silly mistakes on my side, and that the problem has nothing to do with my phone being locked, etc. All the languages that you sent to me seem to work, except Portuguese... It seems to me that the Portuguese files are somehow corrupted. Since you do have Portuguese T9 on your device, may I ask you to please try to use it and see if it is working? Let me know the results. Many thanks for your help!
Alan
alanbr , hi !!!
You are from Portugal right ?
Where did you buy your Qtek 8500 ? have you managed to fix the problem with T9 PT ?
And do you know if your QTEK 8500 allows firmware updates from QTEK ?
Thanks...
By the way can you leave me a PRIV MSG with your MSN ?
Thanks again.

Sorry for the delay, but YES, they do work on my Smartflip...
I did not know any word of Portuguese, but I tried to write "Quero" and "Buscar" and it perfectly reported those two words among some others which I did not recognise...
I suppose then it works... ;-)
Sorry giving you such bad news... but you asked for it...
Ciao
Help alanbr
Hi!,
Could you send me the spanish files and the process to install it (hotmail: [email protected])?.
I have the same problem.
Regards
Sorry for bumping an old thread up, but did anyone managed to properlly install the T9 files in Portuguese (Portugal) for the Qtek 8500?
Edit:
I fell stupid! When I was writing an SMS I pressed the * button and a T9 menu appeared where I could select the portuguese T9. There's no mention to this on the user manual (as many other features). You can even configure other T9 settings there and even add your own words manually.
T9 .cab files needed
Does anyone could provide me the T9 .cab file for this ? Could I use this file in my O2 Xda Stealth since I can not write SMS or anything from the keyboard (Physical pad) and I would like to do this.
Thanks
Hi all.
Just flashed my daughters buggy Orange ROM Hurricane to the Russian Qtek ROM found in this forum.
Can anyone tell me how to get it to display in English, if it is possible? Or do I need to flash to a different, English-only ROM? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Sjraar.
Sorry I misinformed you all by mistake. The Russian ROM works perfectly, but whilst I can change the language to English UK or English US via the Regional settings, everything becomes English (Menus etc) all text, except when you try to type a Note or SMS, then all fonts are in Russian.
Received SMS is in English, but I don't know how to change settings for the keboard/dialpad to be English input. I assume there must be somewhere in registry to change that, but i don't know where and what value to change.
Otherwise the ROM is perfectly stable and totally unbranded!
Anybody know what reg values to change? Any help will be appreciated plus it will give us all a clean, unbranded ROM in English!!
Meanwhile, does anyone still have a copy of the SDAII ROM? I've searched through the entire net (slight exaggeration!) but to no avail. Someone must have it or know of a download link that actually has it, and by that I don't mean the www.iris-crap link to Blue Angel ROM update.
Anyway, here's hoping.
PS. On the Russian ROM, all installed applications still read as English, actually everything is in English, except what you input/type yourself.
If anyone has a direct (working link) to the german ROM (SDAII), that would be better also as they use fonts more in line with the English ones, which would overcome the illegibility of Russian fonts in SMS or type/input.
Hope this helps.
There should be a way to turn it to English right? What if U turn local settings to English, and not just the language? Perhaps that would change it? I tryed it on my C550 (turning it to language English, and Local to Russian, then the date showed turned up in Russian... Maybe the other way arround it would do the same?

hmm, might look interesting Rafet, but I'm sorry to say I can't make a word out of what is been said on these pages...
Perhaps you could translate it for me/us? Thanks!
Yes, it does look interesting. It also looks like a Turkish version of the T-mobile ROM! Wandering if we'll experience the same problems of not being able to change the language with this ROM too. At least the Turkish fonts look closer to English than the Russian ones.
Oh yeah...changed all settings to English, but that hasn't affected the fonts when inputting data or receiving SMS's.
Still looking..but may give the Turkish ROM a go and will post my findings. Thanks to Rafet for the download links and Sjraar for your reply/intersest.
Eureka!!

Thank you very much Rafet. Your link to the SDA II ROM worked and so does the ROM, which I am happy to report is "ENGLISH". All's well with the world again and my daughter loves me again.
The update/flash ran smoothly and quickly and whilst branded with T-mobile stuff, the ROM seems ok. Will report back when [email protected] been extensively tested. Thanks again.
Don't how I came to this idea, but when you placed the russian rom on your device, did you turn-on T9 input for sms? Don't know where I read it, but perhaps that was the problem...

Hi again Sjraar. No I didn't initially but have tried it since flashing it with the ROM, but 'twas no use. It all remained in Russian.
I am however happy to report that the T-mobile ROM is much more stable than the previous Orange ROM that the device came with. No problems there at all.
My prophet is O2 XDA neo in German. I tried to change the language to English with the setting in regional setting as you said, but failed. nothing happened. are you sure that you just made some change in regional setting and then everything showed in english, including Menu?
Qtek ROM = No-go for me!

Yes jackeyz. All i did was go into regional settings and changed any and every option that related to English UK and the menus and allmost everything else ended up in English. However, as I stated previously, anything you would type/input into the phone would result in Russian which I can't read and any incoming texts/SMS were also appearing in Russian, so I gave up after searching for answers and coming up empty.
Like i said, the T-mobile ROM works perfectly and since having flashed it, my daughter has reported no problems at all. Hope this helps a little, but the Qtek ROM was a no-go for me.
Keyboard Language vs. Display Language
Gents, thanks for your suggestions - you've helped me to solve the issue I was fighting with for 2 evenings on my HTC Diamond.
Assuming that English is available on all devices "by default", try the below options (good luck):
a/ Initial language installation (e.g. Russian) => Russian Keyboard
- irrespective of Regional Settings change, this setting allows to retain special local characters/keyboard
- keyboard can be changed between Russian <-> English upon activation (e.g. during writing SMS)
- this set-up doesn't seem to impact Regional Settings (display language)
b/ Change of Regional Settings into English - Keyboard, Location, Language
c/ under Settings -> Personal -> Input Method -> Options, turn off “System Localization" – this setting seems to block activation of English Display and to revert Regional Settings into the Local Language, irrespective of any other changes to the settings
d/ upon synchronization with PC, suggest maintenance of the same Regional Settings
So as the others that got similar problems, I had layout problems when upgrading to windows mobile 6.
Device: HTC TyTN, English keyboard (exactly like on the official pics), Rogers Wireless (Canada), unlocked thanks to you guys!
ROM: Official WM6 French ROM from HTC
I recently bought an French HTC TyTN with Rogers (in Canada). I unlocked it and upgraded it to WM6 (official french ROM from HTC). Seeing it had an AZERTY keyboard, I switched it back to QWERTY using your precious advices. However I'm experiencing problems with a few keys and I wasn't able to find similar cases on XDA Devs and Google. Here are the misfits:
' (opt+z) = File explorer
& (opt+x) = Internet Explorer
Start menu = Nothing happens
Ok (on the keyboard only) = Pops up the Start menu
Tab = Acts as the Ok button
File explorer (opt+left on the keyboard) = Messaging
However every other button (including opt+ok and opt+tab) work just as it should. I tried many locales (french canadian, english us, english uk, english canadian) to no avail and I really need " ' " and "&" characters, please provide help quickly!
Thanks a lot,
Nico
And for those with my problem: keyboard layout tytn french canadian qwerty azerty wm6 upgrade
UPDATE:
Would getting the official ROM in english solve the problem? It seems like there is no documentation on a QWERTY french TyTN?
e: Inserted a question mark, woops. Still in need of an answer
Kinda need a lil' help there, thx!
Not sure, but you can try an official English or you can try a cooked French rom. Schaps has cooked these and you can get information (or ask your questions) on his threads & posts.
Double post, sorry (see below)

And if I take the official English ROM, would I have to reinstall everything or can I use software to reinstall my stuff on it?
Like I said 'not sure', but I would think so for the english rom.
Yes, you would have to reinstall any additional programs, etc.
Yes, there are back up programs for your device; you can search Wiki for information on them.
Alright I'll try that before messing with my device. Maybe not right now, but I will, thanks!
Alright! Problem solved! I used the official english ROM from HTC. The cause of this problem was problably the fact that only Rogers TyTNs use french ROMs AND a Qwerty keyboard. Snce they got the phone 8 months after the rest of the world, we might not see any french WM6 roms with Qwerty support.
Thanks for your great support!
Posted from my TyTN using Opera, weee!
Congratulations! Glad it worked out for you and your device...
I think there would be no problem converting an english device to a french device with the good rom, is there a french rom available I could flash on the english htc touch pro to get a french unit ?
thank you
You could attempt to get Bell to give you a french device - they do have them.
Found this on HTC's forums:
The only way is to cid unlock the phone, flash a new Hard Spl, find a rom in your language and reflash the rom. While this will change the language of the rom on your phone, it will also void any HTC or carrier warranties that may have come with the phone.
Look here to get started.

Is it that inconvenient to use the English device? Is the user if not yourself that much of a francophone?
I live in Ottawa, mostly french family and they all use English devices. So I know where you're coming from, but still..

Voice command (English) doesn't recognize any French contact name even when I try using English accent to find a French contact name, not a chance.
I have HTC Touch pro T7272 with norwegian language, Now I want to change language from norwegian to english.
Can you help me for this problem?
Hi. In my view you have to flash an english language ROM to your phone. You'll find plenty of ressources for that on these pages. This reflash will erase whatever you have installed on your device now. As far as i know theres no stand alone language pack that can override the language in the OS.
Please note that the ROM you find, *must* match the make/model of your phone. There's a lot of beginners ressources on this site. Happy hunting
regards
Lars
