[Question]About locale - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good morning.
I have a HTC Desire which is distributed by Softbank here in Japan.
The default locale in the Desire here in Japan is English and Japanese only.
Is there anyway which I can add a new locale (Display language and input method) without flashing any rom?
I also tried to installed the google pinyin input method in desire.
But when I send a message to other devices which can display chinese characters, what i recieved is just a garbage characters.
I don't think this is anything to do with the softbank. Because I am also using iphone to send the chinese messgae without any problem.
Hope anyone can help.
Thank you and Good day.

I have a similar problem. I have a HTC Desire which was purchased in Singapore, but it doesn't have the WWE locale installed. I can't seem to find any way to install a locale without flashing to a new ROM.
I assume installing a locale on it's own is not possible?

Vodafone v1210 (Asus Halley/Jupiter)

Right I have a problem with trying to upgrade my v1210 United Kingdom version from wm5.0 to wm6, mainly I can't find any roms for my phone apart from a Vodafone New Zealand webside, although it's the same as an XDA graphite hardware wise, minus any cameras. Vodafone UK never released wm6 for the v1210. Anyway the New Zealand version won't work because the default language is different to my UK one, I have tried changing the default language with mobile registry editor, and in the defaultLCID it had the UK code of 2057 and in the systemLCID it had 1033 which is the USA code. New Zealand's code is 5129 so I changed it to them and it still didn't work. I looked at the rom in res hacker and it had 1033 codes mentioned in the string tables and that, so I changed both system and default to 1033 and still no luck! I have tried putting it on the SD card as an abi file and still nothing.
Anyone know how I can bypass the language checker when I try to flash the new zealand rom to my UK v1210? I just want wm6, and I want it now lol
Awww someone must know a way other than what I have tried, to bypass the language checker, is there more registry settings than just DefaultLCID and SystemLCID in the registry?

The same here. Mine came with only English and Franch language. After fleshing nothing changed...I was looking for Italian language, but nothing has changed. WHY?

I exchanged some mails with HTC about this. The language that is shown by the phone relates to some internal ID of the phone (CID? IMEI?), not easily changed. The ROM only reads that info and chooses the languages that appear for selection.
My guess is that we need to root the phone first.
Either way, morelocale2 solves 99% of the problem.
Where did you buy your desire? Is it from polish distribution sources? I've bought mine about a week ago, and there is polish locale available (settings->lang and local..).
If there is an option to rip rom from the device, I can do it for u, but afaik there is no such option till desire is rooted, but correct me if I'm wrong.
Hi
There is root acces,
I have rooted my phone but nothing changed !
I am not able to flash and get Polish language
Any ideas ?

no russian in virtuous-vision_froyo_rom-v0.9.0

Hi, i just installed virtuous-vision_froyo_rom-v0.9.0 on my desire z but cant see russian language in it. Am i missing something? If there is no russian in this ROM can anyone direct me to a rom that has russian language in it? Also, do i need to root again to flash another rom since i permrooted my phone?
Sorry but when I saw "no Russian" it took me back to the airport science in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Have no clue about a Russian Tom but you will not have to root again since you are perm rooted, hence the term perm --> permanent
Sent from my HTC Vision
Just to inform and maybe help others i will tell you that i factory set my phone and now i can see many languages including russian, portuguese, turkey and more

[Q] Add a language?

Is there anyway to add another language to the phone without having to S-Off and install a new rom?
My friend has just bought a Wildfire S but it has n hungarian language.
I have successfully S-Offed my own desire but understand its not available without a clip on this model.(Not sure what the clip is)
Edit
For those that might need it, I made a goldcard and then flashed stock European Rom. Seemed to do the trick
Sometimes when you made a goldcard and reflash with WWE firmware, thats not enough (My Desire Z), I still have seened only English and couple more languages on it, even that, that I use XTClip for ChaCha and Wildfire S, and on them all languages are shown. So, in that case I use MoreLocale2 from market to force use build-in language, even if this is not showned on the phone.
Yes! there is another way
Take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074445 . you can easily Debrand your cell to another rom (not always possible) and see other languages.
in my case I changed my phone from INDIAN to ARABIC to see Persian fonts
