Hello!
I recently purchased myself an HTC Desire in Sweden. It appears though that the retailer had imported it from either Spain or Portugal since the documentation was all in Spanish. When I turned on the phone with my SIM card it asked, in Swedish, if I wanted to copy the contacts and so forth from the SIM.
When the set up guide then started it was all back to English and when I wanted to pick a language, Swedish was not available (It had English, French, Spanish, and some other(s), can't remember exactly). I like English and all, but I cannot make do without Swedish when composing an SMS/text message for instance.
The phone obviously got some Swedish language support since it asked me to copy the contacts and whatnot when it started up. To clarify: I need to change locale and language on the phone. So, is there some way I can "unlock" the language or can I perhaps download and install the language package somewhere? (I do not want to root my phone.)
Thanks in advance!
Solved by installing More Locale 2.
I all
I have a htc wildfire S "Europe" but in languages isn't available the portuguese portugal language is there a way to update the rom with portuguese language
best regards
Hi,
I had the same problem, just purchased one and wanted to use my mothertongue ...
The Italian Lang was on the device, I checked the ROM installed and it was a generic EU. However it was not visible in the selection of the languages.
The language selection shows on this firmware ONLY the languages for the country where the SIM card belongs to. I installed in an Italian sim card and the phone magically switched on ITA (after prompting, sim card changed etc etc)
No need for languange packs, however I searched the internet and the market before getting to you. There are no language packs to change the os language in android. If the pack is installed in the rom it's ok otherwise there is nothing that can be installed via the market. Adding a language to the OS would require to ROOT into the device and write into /system folder (which is not possible on a STOCK image). Currently Android up to version 2.3 does not foresee any language pack addition, it is not a feature of the OS.
Change HTC Wildfire S language
Hi,
Do you mean that my Wildfire S should propose more language when installing a SIM card from another country ?
Now it shows only English and Chinese.
Thanks.
Yes, it propose you the language according to your sim card.. put in a portuguese sim card
I have a similar problem.
I bought a phone and I don't know what is the rom, but I suspect it is Asian (although I bought it in England). When I try to change the language, only appears English and to Chinese or similar (I can't precise, because I don't understand it).
I tried to put the SIM, but still the same.
I contacted the HTC chat support, they told me to install an app from Android market, MoreLocale2, but nothing happened: always the same 3 idioms.
I'm looking for a way to put Portuguese, maybe replacing the rom or something.
If anyone could help, I would appreciate very much.
If you have European version, try to install an application from the market: MoreLocale2 and select Portuguese. Maybe you're luckier then me.
after install morelocale2 you have to go to morelocale2 and select portuguese, in "original phone configuration" it will keep the default but the phone wil switch to the language selected in morelocale2.
it work for me
There's no way to work with me...
There's still only English and Chinese.
morelocale2 worked perfect for me ;]
Worked for me too! Portuguese for HTC Buzz (Wildfire).

m.oliveira: installing morelocale2 won't get you portuguese on the htc available languages. They will remain chinese and english.
But after installing morelocale2, click on morelocale2 icon and select portuguese.
After that all will be changed to portuguese, in spite of in the system language the available options remain chinese and portuguese.
It won't change available languages on the languages list, the new available languages will only appear on morelocale2 app!
Try this and let us know!
A friend gave me a device american t-mobile. I installed European rom and i selected Greece. How can i have greek menu? Is there any patch with greek menu language (*.cab)?
I don't know if anyone else has had this problem... but when I go into language and keyboard and settings, then keyboard, the language won't change (where it says select keyboard language). I wanted to change the language to Spanish, but it stays stuck on English (United States). I tried switching to the other languages available but it still stays stuck on English. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Thanks!
EDIT: Problem solved.
