multilingual WP7 - Windows Phone 7 General

Hello All,
I am sorry if this question has already been asked... I couldn't find the answer.
I was talking to one of the techies at my local Orange store, and they mentioned that in the new WP7 devices, it is only possible to choose the language at the first startup (like some computers). After this, it is not possible to change the language.
Is this true?!!? I was playing with a HD7 today, and you could change the language as often as you like.
Was the techie talking rubbish or is it true that in the new models coming out it will not be possible to change the language after the initial selection?
Thanks for your comments!!

if you experienced the ability to change the language at first hand (doing it yourself), then believe that over what some guy told you, regardless of if he's Steve Ballmer/Jobs.

安定稼働していたTest2版ですが、昨晩ついにハングアップしました。
毎晩23時にSpb Backupを自動起動させているのですが、その際にハングしたようです。
いつもは全然大丈夫なんですけれどね。
寒かったから、X01HTが風邪を引いたかな?ヾ(^^
Hi, sasaki933.
I'm a Japanese tester of your ROM.
Thank you so much for your great work.
Always, the hacking must tolerate adverse criticism, but also it's needed for the true innovation, I guess.
Never mind about 2ch thread.
And let's enjoy our Hermes life.

Thanks again to Mr. 830 or Mr. Sasaki for all the efforts you have been making to provide a better ROM to X01HT users.
Some people inclued me mentioned avoiding Japanese writing.

Don't take so seriously to write in English, Japanese member.
It is just a tool for communication.

Hi, wydeload
Sasaki933's ROM is here;
http://www.megaupload.com/en/?d=QIA1V73K
Be careful because it's alfa~beta version.
He send his Hermes to HTC japan for repair.
He said slide was loosen.
Then hermes is not on his hand now and he can not check the ROM works properly or not.
But no major problem has been reported yet scince it was uploaded.
Try it at your own risk!
My X01HT became a brick because of other experiments.
The report is waited for because it is not possible to try to our
regret.
X01HT Came Back!!!
Hello
At last my X01HT came back from repair.
Because I check the latest edition of the ROM who made it so far from now on, please wait for a while till then.
Congratulations!
This day was waited for.
However, it takes care about the brick.
Welcome back, sasaki933!
We hope to share good time with you.
If you want other test, I will test anything as possible as I can with pleasure.

A question from a potential buyer

Hi all,
First off, I want to congratulate everyone for their exellent job here on XDA.
I own a Diamond right now, and I'm looking into buying a TP2. After searching this forum, and having read the Wiki, there's only one question I want to ask.
Regarding the hardware keyboard, is it somehow linked to the soft keyboard? Meaning that, I'm planning on buying a QWERTY keaybord, even though I'm french. So, changing the language on the SIP menu from english to french, would it change the Hardware layout as well?
And, last but not least, can that be done for greek as well? I mean, switching from english to greek and to french easily?
Thank you for your time.
Regards,
NoWorthWhile.

[Q] Change language in HTC touch Pro2

Hey guys,
I have made a research through the forum and I saw that few people already asked the same question as me, but unfortunately the replies were not very clear (at least clear enough to me ).
I just bought a HTC TP2 in Holland, and I would like to change the language of my phone from Dutch to English.
Anyone knows how to do that?
Thx a lot
PS. Thx to this forum I already changed the language of an HTC HD from dutch to english 2 yrs ago. But I had somebody from this forum who guided me step by step during the process. I of course made a donation.

Display Languge

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?

It disappointing that carriers still have the power to modify the system this much.

[Q] Spell-check with different input/system language problem

Hi!
I've copied this post from another forum user, but I cannot seem to find a solution. Anyone know how to solve this? See below...
Big thanks!
Co
------
I have a problem with the spelling correction build within ICS. I’ll try and explain as good as possible.
Device: Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Android: Stock, unrooted, 4.0.2
My system setting is set to English while my keyboard/input language is set to Dutch. I prefer it this way since it’s much easier to look up problems and answers with English as a system language then Dutch (should a problem arise, the chances someone has asked it somewhere online in English are ‘a bit’ larger). However most of my texts are to Dutch friends, so the input language is Dutch. So far, so good.
If I mistype a word, the auto-correct does correct the word to a Dutch word. If I type words correctly, the auto-correct does nothing (and rightfully so). However, here’s my problem. The correct word remains correct, however ICS feels the need to underline it in red, showing it’s wrong. Touching the ‘wrong’ word gives suggestions for correct words, all of them in English.
Is there anyone who knows how to have the system language and the input language be two different languages, yet not have the spellcheck use the system-language?
I hope I’ve explained it clearly, such things are always more clear in your own head then when you type them out!
(If this has previously been discussed, my apologies, I couldn't find it)
