Hi,
I thought this is nice to share.
Found from Clove blog:
http://blog.clove.co.uk/2010/03/23/chinese-and-other-languages-for-android/
Android has several built-in language options. To change the locale (language) that your Android device works in:
On your Android device, under Settings>Locale & Text>Select Locale, you can choose the Language setting you would like your device to use. On some devices (such as the HTC Hero), the only setting available is English. This can be changed very easily using an App called MoreLocale 2, which can be downloaded completely free of charge from the Android Marketplace. Simply download the App and install, launch it, and select the language you would like your device to use. (Note: to change back to English, you will need to navigate through Settings>Locale & Text>Select Locale and select English).
Currently, the locales available on Android 1.5, 1.6 and 2.1 are:
* Chinese, PRC , Chinese, Taiwan
* Czech
* Dutch, Netherlands & Belgium
* English, Britain, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore,
* French, France, Belgium, Canada, Switzerland
* German, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein
* Italian, Italy, Switzerland
* Japanese
* Korean
* Polish
* Russian
* Spanish

And this is the application to change the language if it is not available in the phone:

Very nice of Android!
Hi, I am thinking of getting the Desire and the only thing that put me off is the lack of chinese language.
With this app, do I have to select Chinese as my locale to enable me to read and write chinese or I can still read and write chinese with English set as my locale??
Many thanks!
I have no idea. Take that as your own risk.
You can contact HTC support and ask this question.

With my Desire, I can read chinese without issue (e.g. going to website and file name), but there is no stock input option for chinese yet, will try the more locale and see if it helps. As they said, you can always get Google Pinyin. I am still looking for a way to get Handwriting though.

Hi, Please kindly tell me, your Desire can choose Location setting English United State? and no Chiniese in put?
But can read chinese is great. How about Chinese display on Music play? it's also display Chinese?
Life Saviour!
My Desire (obviously for eastern european market) only had Russian, Slovak, Polish and Cech locale settings. It didn't matter because all were English, but sometimes I got redirected to the Slovak Google page and so on...
THX for this tip!
thanks a lot.
finally i can set to german.
not that i am not able to understand english.

Hi, i'm looking for a new rom which support chinese applications. The one i'm the currently using does the job, but its pretty old now. (i'm not using LVSW now)
I am using Hypercore 3.62 - Final, and plug in the chinese inputs, fonts, etc. myself instead of CE-star or monster. The result is pretty fast and stable.
Follow this link for adding chinese support to Eng. ROM. It's in trad. Chinese.

but you still can't read chinese text(*.txt), Can you? To do that, you have to change the setting in Regional Settings at first. But I can't find any options for PRC or Taiwan or HongKong there.
The methode may not be usefull for the products sold outside asia.

I can view, edit Chinese! The regional settings can be set to HK, China, Macau, Taiwan, etc. after you follow the steps in the link in post #2. (see screen shots below). The regional settings comes with the ROM you flashed, and it has nothing to do with where you bought it. (Of course I am not talking about official rom from carriers)
PS - You have to solve the line break problem in displaying chinese text by changing the registry. Find the key called "SystemLCID", change the value from 409 to 404 and do a soft reset, all chinese are displayed properly with line breaks.
Could i ask a question?

My chinese patched ROM can display simplified chinese as well. But you you need to install a suitable simplify chinese IME to type sc characters.

that is greate,it is my looking for!
can you post other link about add chinese support to eng,i can not access the web site from chinese mainland.
Hi,
I struggled for a long time to get a stable simplified Chinese writing and display system. What seems to work very well for me is ANY of Schaps' ROM, I have been using them since 3.54 and Leies CE-star cabs. I just install the font cab, pinyin cab, and handwriting cab for simplified and it works really well. I am not a huge fan of CE Star, the chinese IME for motorola e680i (my old phone) was much better, but this is the best I've found for WM6 so far. PM me if you can't find the cabs.
link is already dead!
This is to make your Hermes to have CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) support. It enables your Hermes to read Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters. Here I created two installations:
CJK for Hermes with SC_Song (download link) - 3289 KB
CJK for Hermes with SC_Song, KS_Phonetic and MS_YaHei as default (download link) - 17748 KB
The installation will overwrite your \Windows\wince.nls with mine. After reboot, you will be able to see Chinese, Japanese in your Regional Settings, but it won't change your current settings.
Please note that they do not include any SIP so you don't have the input method. For Chinese Simplified, I do suggest PlumSIP6 Pro. (do a google for it if you would like to try) I don't know any nice SIP for Chinese Traditional and Japanese, so you may share if you do.
This is the first time I build cab installation. Please do report if you have any problem.
Thanks.
What encodings does Internet Explorer allow to choose from after the installation?

Is that all? Are there any others - English, Russian, Unicode, at last?
hi all
just got my touch (blackstone) and was just wondering how to get chinese/japanese and korean fonts on to my phone.
I installed Zgembo's JapaneseIME and Let's Japan. It worked for me. Just search the forum for it.
there's this file called Droid.cab. Install it and you can read chinese, korean, japanese fonts. Unfortunately, the con is that you cannot write. =( else it works good.
I installed Pleco (http://www.pleco.com/). I think the free demo includes the file for the East Asian character sets.
You can try Mobem software's "CE Star" display and write and pinyin input
I got my device from Middle East and in the bunch of languages available, there is no Malayalam (ml_IN).
I can use phone in English.
But malayalam fonts are not properly rendered.
I tried installing MoreLocale2 but no change.
Contacted HTC customer care. They said there is no way.
I need your help.
How do I make my device render Malayalam language like the phones bought from India does?
Android Version 5.0.1
Hey guys, my dad bought the t700 few days ago, and its impossible to change the language to russian. He doesnt understands english, and the only available languages are english and different asian languages...
I have the lollipop Saudi ROM (only cause it has latest changelist) and it seems to have Russian. I would suspect all XXU ROM to have Russian. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the list though. Because it's not written in ascii, it is sorted below all other languages

Is flashing a different region the only way to get access to other languages? Would I be able to get Norwegian on US tablet using the Cellular South rom?
You could add the desired language to the language.xml under system/csc/ but you need to have root access for that. Display and input languages can be added/enabled. For Russian you would have to add ru_RU for example.
I'm using Locale Pro app. You'll need to follow the instruction they have when u try to change language. Worked for me. At some point u will need to put yr tablet into the development mode by tapping on the Build number seven times.
