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
Dear all,
Does anyone have 838Pro HK English ROM.
I just flashed an English ROM into my Chinese 838Pro.
But found out when using the keyboard, the symbols are located differently.
Many thanks

Re : 838 Pro HK English ROM
Dear all,
i m able to check the keyboard registry.
Thank you all for your help.
Previously I thought it was the ROM problem.
Again, thanks a lot.
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've flashed a rom and now I only have European Portuguese (wich is horrible for brazilians, if you guys don't know).
I've googled a little and a lot of websites say to use an app called morelocale2.
Well, it didn't work on Ace with Brazilian Portuguese. At least, it didn't work on my phone.
My stock rom had Brazilian Portuguese. So, there must be a way of putting it back again.
The question is: How?
Search for another ROM that supporr Brazilian PT and install it , same thing happened to me !! there is some EU ROM that support BR PT and some other Don't have it the Q is witch one have it ? not sure so get to search or try..
PT-PT rules
Hey guys,
Just received my new Atrix including the Lapdock with Danish keys. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like it's possible to choose Danish as the keyboard language. I've been searching for a while to find a place to download the language or a way to edit the registry, but I cant seem to find anything.. any ideas (sorry can't find question mark..)
Regards
Andreas
There is an update on Motorola homepage:
direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/support/update
I´m in Sweden and I had similar problem. Now after upgrading i can switch to danish or Swedish
Thanks! Actually the phone told me there was an update ready, which I installed and corrected the problem. That just made the lapdock useful again. I guess it's the same as the one on the website. Thanks a lot anyway
Regards
