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?

hi..qtek 8200(spv c550) english rom.(messages caracter russian)

sda2 rom english..

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
Hi, is it possible to change T9 language ( from english to polish) without changing the whole rom to polish?
any reply on installing T9 languages?
Did you ever get an answer ?
I just got an HTC Hero in Singapore and it only comes with English and Chinese. I would however like to add French as an input language. Any idea ?
you need a custom HTC_IME for the language keybaords
so far the only ones I have encountered are the:
HTC_IME: english
HTC_IME: chinese
HTC_IwinnI: Japanese
So my main language is portuguese. The thing is when I flash a custom rom I'll get to choose a language, usually I do portuguese ofc. But for example in the messaging application, when I'm typing I won't get get the suggestions in portuguese, I always get them in english (english words are sugested I mean).
Is there any way to fix this / add a language to choose from with the proper suggestions? Thanks in adance

Go to Settings > Language and keyboard > Touch Input > Keyboard language > change it to whatever you want
Humm the thing is I only have Select Locale (language and region), Android keyboard and User Dictionary under Language and Keyboard. Even with the language set to portuguese it'll show english sugestions on the messaging app =C
*EDIT* Have tried Morelocale2, with everything in portuguese it still shows english suggestions on the messaging app.
*EDIT2* Switched to another language and it properly showed the suggestions, so I guess the files of portuguese are probably missing or something. Any idea how I can fix this, please please?
*EDIT3* I've found out there aren't spell checker files for pt-PT in android. However on the official 1.5 htc rom I had spell checking of pt-PT working properly. Is there any way to import those files for another rom?

Your on the us forum for the note.... You should ask this on the "Samsung Galaxy Note" forum not this one.
Hi,
can somebody help me.
I'm using 4.1.2 the One Rom, at RAZR i Motorola.
It has Thai language but if I choose it and want to tip in Thai. The Language is not shown on the display.
If I tip something on my phone in Thai, I do not see the letters but if I send them to PC I can see the Thai letters.
How to add the Thai script.
Do I have to compile the ROM new ?
Thank you
