According to Microsoft evangelist Martin Esmann from Microsoft Denmark, the phone will also launch in Denmark in October.
However, the phone will not have a localized Marketplace, so only the international marketplace will be available. But Zune Marketplace will not be available in October in Denmark
Source: (Danish) http://www.computerworld.dk/blog/studblog/100275
Just talked to another from Microsoft Denmark, yep, it's clearly launching here in October as well.
I hope this means we will get Windows Phone 7 in Sweden in October too

What in the world does this mean? There's "World view" in Marketplace which means you can buy apps from any market if you want. The problem is adding a credit card for that, because you'll need an address in a country which is officially supported.
Another question is, will it have Danish dictionaries? Does it mean that official "Language support" only describes display language?

Denmark will be officially supported, but we'll be forced to use the marketplace in English until the Danish translations are out.
So what I'm thinking is the WP7 will "launch" (be available for purchase) in several more than the 17 announced countries, but won't have localizations ready for the marketplace, and possible have Zune limits.
They'll probably accept VISA, which everybody have here. Paying with cash is left for 3rd world countries like USA

That's not support of Danish marketplace sorry, everybody just gets access to any marketplace he wants, there's nothing new there. If it's not supported you just can't enter your credit card details. So I think there's some confusion there.

No, they said that we're meant to be able to buy applications from day one. We'll also be able to SELL applications from day one, as Danish developers!
It's only localization that's missing.
Well, developers from Russia can sell applications from day one as well, registration is open here and it was announced initially. You have some big (in WM terms) names here like SPB Software, so Microsoft made sure they can sell stuff.
With regard to localization, don't you ever use Danish? At work, for example?
Depends if it's necessary. If we can get away with English, it's usually fine
So it is necessary sometimes. And how are you going to type things when it is?
huh? I don't understand what you mean here? We can still write localization support for the individual applications, even the marketplace isn't localized yet.

I mean the keyboard and the autocorrection dictionaries, who cares about UI languages (that is, I do, but I'll use English anyway).
No idea if the phones will be sold with language support, I was mostly worrying about the marketplace.
But we use the roman alphabet, so it's not that big a hassle.
What about æ, ø and å? Does QWERTY layout work as well for you as it does for English? What about autocorrection? I mean, I understand you can use it, but isn't it a hassle to dig two levels deep each time you need to type that special character?

You just need to hold the "o" button in 2 secs (or something like that) to get up characters like ø and ö. The same with "a" to get å, ä and æ.
We use QWERTY layout in both Sweden and Denmark.
Even if it's not localized, we can use Old Scandinavia, such as oe = ø, aa = å, ae = æ, or use umlaut to represent the same characters.
Best news for a long time
This is great news, I do personally not care to much about the danish keyboard layout, as long as the characters is possible to find, it is not much different from my old Blue Angel. I just hope that I will be able to bay one of those with a slide out keyboard.
Looking forward to Mango
Do you think you guys will jump straight onto Mango then? Or will you 7.0 devices which get updated pretty soon after to 7.1?

My Omnia 7 already has NoDo so... Mango ASAP

Hi everybody. Not yet bought such a device as I have first to understand wheter it is possible to install a Japanese windows. I need it to be able to read and write japanese characters and don't find a place where to find a device already equipped with such a software.
Also, does anyone know where an image of a japanese windows might be obtained ?
Thanks in advance to any one who will help.
Do you want to read/write Japanese, or for the entire OS to become Japanese?
If it's the former, you need the fonts containing Kanji, a set of registry entries to default fonts without unicode kanji chars to the Kanji fonts, and an IME that can do Kanji. A kanji dictionary is also useful.
If it's the latter, you need a Japanese ROM, and I doubt these devices have been released in Japan becauase of the different cell phone network protocols there.
More info on Fonts/IME/Dictionary here:
http://dialspace.dial.pipex.com/prod/dialspace/town/pipexdsl/o/aoou76/CEStuff/
So, on using the phone in Japan...
Thanks Andy, nice of you and, excellent and pertaining answer. Let me go straight to my problem. I have to go to Japan for business and hope to use this device as a phone and as an e-mailer machine. You've answered for Kanji Hiragana and so on. I know that Japan uses W-DCMA as a protocol. Does anyone knows if it is possible to place a japanese SIM into it to make it operative there ?
An alternative would be to connect it (via BlueTooth) to a rent japanese phone, just for the e-mail.
Any Japanese reading this forum might pls, help?
Thanks in advance
Japanese on the English OS
i am japanese guy, and have been used Wallby--Himalaya--Blue Angel--Mini,with japanese language(OS is english, but can write/read/encoding to JP)
and also now tring to be localized Magneto WM2005.
i am very famouse guy (i hope) of the Japan/China Localization of English PPC.
To use Jpanese on ENG OS, need Japan font, replacing wince.nls=encoding inbox and IE,also font registry files, and encoding registry.

I was in Japan last year for 3 weeks holiday (fantastic!), but my XDAII certainly wasn't able to connect to anything GSM/GPRS like over there. It was still invaluable to have as a PDA because of the Kanji dictionary program.
I hired a J-Phone temporarily while I was out there, but I don't know whether there are Bluetooth enabled ones out there allow the XDA to use the phone as a data modem.
Asukal - interesting website, I must parctice my Japanese more!

Japan has no GSM, but has a W-CDMA, you can use W-CDMA phone with your country SIM card and W-CDMA/GSM dual Mobile Phone(such like a nokia 7600/6630). we have very few mobile Phone with Bluetooth in japan. so you had better bring your M Phone in japan.
while i am in japan,i use XdaO2 IIs+Nokia 7600 with china GSM SIM. it was not officail roaming (china Moble Co also dont know how to do), but it can be done. also Hong Kong SIM can.
if you wish to hire J-Phone<now they are Vodafon japan>, Nokia6630 and Sonny erricoson are available with Bluetooth. but those phone were sim locked. your own SIM will be rejected and must use J-Phone`s.
i am very await for the MDA-4 with W-CDMA will comming!
Thank you.
Thank you Andy. Thank you Asukal. You guys, have made me understand the matter. Now I understand that I have either to have an MDA IV (as soon as it is available) or have an MDA III plus a phone like a Nokia 6630 for when I am to Japan.
Thanks again, have a nice day.
Welcome to Japan
Mr,spinzolone>>>>
MDA IV, if it come with New OS WM2005, i can`t guarantee to enable Japanese encoding internet browsing and e-mail inbox .
In my test with Beta-WM2005,(also another chinese friend so) still cant do it currentry. but i hope it will be solved soon.
Asukal: One quick question - I'm having problems with my font-linking, notably "\". Do you have any idea what might be wrong?
I'm using XDAII, PPC2003, with the ttc font collections rather than individual files. I've checked your registry files and the linking information seem the same as mine.
Hints for Japan ...
Dear Asukal, so do you think that with a iPAQ MM2003(first or second edition) patched for displaying japanese characters, and a Nokia 6630 I'll be able to send/receive e-mail while in Japan?
And, for a matter of costs, would you suggest to buy a SIM in Japan rather than roaming from Japan to Italy?
Any other hint for a European guy?
Thanks again a lot. Domo arigato

about SIM in Japan, Japan has no prepaid SIM card. you must make conract for a year! it was cost and troublesome for forginer.(ask some japanese friend to buy his name, US$100 at the first and US$30 per every mounth. One year contract.
So i suggest use your italy SIM.
Thanks a lot Asukal, it was a joy to me to receive your quick reply yesterday evening. I've followed you suggestions and now I have a HP hx2410 - Windows Mobile 2003 se v. 4.21 perfectly "japanized".
Showed it to the Japanese manager who's going to use it and he was very satisfied.
P.S. We were told from a japanese guy that, when we go to Japa we can make contract with DOCOMO or VODAFONE. Particularly with DOCOMO, asking for a contrat FOMA we should receive a SIM card.
You know, it is not that I want to have SIM cards. To me it's enough that my phone NOKIA 6630 works there. But I'm to send a manager there and I'd better instruct him on what to do to make connections in Japan.
If you could confirm that, no matter which contract (with or without SIM card), we can work, this would bring a smile on our faces.
Have a nice day

Scoot and I are wanting to pare down the size of the all language Cyanogen release builds. The best way to do that is to obviously remove some languages. These are what we have discussed keeping so far. If you have a need for one that is not listed add a reply with the language you want to keep.
English
Spanish
French
German
Dutch
Italian
Portugeese
Arabic
Romanian
Russian
Polish
Czech
Hebrew
Chineese
Greek
And I know I am missing a few so please do request them!
Does anyone use vietnamese,chineese,japanese or korean? I know typically people in those countries already have phones better than our kaisers lol.
Edit: Due to the large list of languages that we need to keep. I think we should do a Eurasia pack, English,Spanish and French and all languages as per suggestion earlier. That would be do-able.
Part of why its so huge our builds are... well look at english for instance. There are like 10 different versions listed.

I wanted to go for that idea a long time ago but it doesnt work that way sadly. The support has to be compiled into the framework. So at the time the build is compiled you get to choose what languages but thats it.
thats a shame, this would strip down the builds a lot... ill stay with the eng then

Hi. I have HTC Mozart from Orange UK and I can not change English display languge for Polish.
Is no Polish in Settings -> Region & Language -> Display Language.
Any idea how to install it?
windows phone 7 does not currently support that language, so no there is no way of doing it. though i've heard of a homebrew application which will let you use a keyboard which has been designed for it, and with copy/paste around the corner, when the homebrew xap's work again afterwards, then you should see them appear.
the other way is with the bigger update coming 2nd half of the year which should bring official support.

But orange PL have the same phone with Polish languge...
I have this same problem
As far as I've read, Windows Phone 7 only fully supports a few languages for this first release (English, French, Italian, German and Spanish), and Polish is not included. If the phones at the store support Polish, then its possible that their display units were customized to support it, but maybe their Retail phones were not. In other words, WP7 direct from Microsoft does not support Polish, but it's possible that Orange or the phone manufacturer customized certain aspects of their devices, and you'd have to ask your carrier/manufacturer about those customizations.
I would suggest going back to the store you got it from and inquiring about it.
Also, the big update coming later this year does not include support for Polish as well.

But Spanish is not supported in all WP7, for example I cant set Spanish in an HTC Surround. But in a Samsung Focus I can.

that is the fault of the carrier/oem. it is actually supported, but for some weird reason they (carrier/oem) turned it off. hopefully MS forces the multi-lingual capabilities and it can't be override...

So this means that a registry tweak can do the job (enable other languages)? I am wondering why someone hasn't found it yet...
yes a registry tweak can fix it, but it would be for languages only already built into the phone. The additional languages that you're wondering about can't be enabled as they aren't in the phone. Though this is also a questionable statement as I remember seeing a homebrew application keyboard with a lot of support for other languages.

Thanks for the reply but wait. What I need in the HTC Surround is Spanish, it has to be definitely built in...
which is true based on versions in other countries. but yea, i'm not sure how to get it enabled. i wonder if you'll get it as part of the no-do update?

I hpoe so.
It disappointing that carriers still have the power to modify the system this much.
Unfortunately, Microsoft has again lost contact with the user who naturally expected that as a minimum be able to get his phone in the country language, but again only tysk.engelsk, Spanish, French & italiano. I think of what microsoft uses all his time. maybe they are too big to think small.
They never said they would add new languages to current phones. They said the exact opposite of it.
Oh and you could add your language BEFORE updating to 7403 (7720?). I did it with Czech.
Jep, I add the lang russian to.

But please be careful that there may be no camera settings for your added languages.
e.g. HTC has localizations on camera settings for those 5 EU languages, and added CHT/CHS in Mango update only. (Expecting more localizations later)
Hei everyone. Here's my question: i'm italian and since the SGN won't be launched here until the firs week of december, i'd like to buy it in germany (now already available). BUT, if i buy the SGN in germany, will I have an operating system in italian, yet OPTIMIZED for the german language? Because I want that beautiful voice recognition to work like a charm ..
what do you think?
Danke!
Where in Germany it is already available?

This. ----^ I'm dying to know.
in android you change the language in settings language, and everything in the UI uses the language chosen
it's 1 OS, for every body
it just depends if it has your local language or not

Nowhere, but dispatch should start at November 24th. I pre-ordered my GN by Home of Hardware for example.
@OP: As AllGamer already said, if you change the system language, every aspect of the UI is changed, including voice recognition. I tried this myself when I tested iris because it only understood me correctly when I changed system language to English.
