[Q] Different nation = different OS? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

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.

You can PM me your emailadress and i will add it... I cannot garantuee, that it works, becaus I just check for a special word. If that is kept, then no alarm-mail will be send, but technically it should work.
It's a php script, so simply posting the script wouldn't help you much. In addition it is run by a cronjob... However I'm willing to add you to the mail list will check this thread in about 5 hours, after i got my sleep. Maybe the update is already released by then
Just checked, its almost 9am here in Berlin - nothing posted yet.
Do you guys understand German? Or do you want it just to check out. I wonder if this version will have the ability to change languages. Then what would everyone do with their time...

As a UK T-Mobile customer, I will be trying this when an English version is released.
Does anyone know if the 1.17 Radio with this is identical to the 1.17 we already have?
I think in the past T-Mobile have included a couple of fixes in Radio ROMs upon release...
Looking forward to this - if it's poor I'll just go straight back to KDSKamal!

I would guess so - would think if T-Mobile went to the effort of making a new ROM for the MDA PRO they'd want to release it to all MDA PRO owners.
Don't have an idea as to what kind of time frame we're looking at though. Have ROMs in the past come out for T-MOIBLE.de before they come out in WWE? And if so was it days or weeks or longer before the english release?
I'm tempted to try it out just to see how it feels on the MDA even though it wouldn't make a lot of sense to me (who can barely count to ten in German!)
after I install this new ROM, do I need to install english input? because my keyboard layout is QWERTY not QWERTZ..
if yes, where can I get that english input?
thanks a million..

In that case, the problem could possibly be gotten around by selecting UK or US English in Start-Settings-System-Regional settings and restarting when it tells you, that should map the keys correctly I think
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\QUERTY
LAYOUT=x
Where x is a numeric value for a specific keyboard

Well, if it's anything like the last T-Mobile ROM (which I've reverted to from your WM5 ROM just for a little bit to try it out) it'll be a bit slower through the menus, will be as stable (and more stable than other cooked ROMs of the past) and will save you the effort of setting up your GPRS and MMS settings!!! (if you're on T-Mobile that is)
Camera app Version?
Could please somebody look which version the camera app on the new 3.3 is?
If its newer than 3.00 (Build22844), can somebody upload it here?
Greets
ROM is good
I have install the ROM and I have to say it is until now very fast and Stable ROM . I am returning actually from WM6 and I have to say this ROM compare to any WM6 much faster ( I have use all the WM6 available ROM's).
I am using it nowfor 24 hours and it has given no problems at all. amazingly I have after 24H still some 22mg RAM. Which means no memory leak what so ever

I have some bad news on that actually. I sent this message to T-Mobile support in the UK:
"Hello,
T-Mobile Germany, a few days ago released a new software download for the MDA PRO (AKU3.3). The current English T-Mobile ROM which I am using is extremely dated and I was wondering when an English release of this new download would be made availible on tm-phonedownloads.com?
Manythanks."
Unfortunately, this is the reply I received today:
"Good afternoon Mark.
Thank you for your email.
I am afraid that we will not be releasing another update for the MDA Pro. Generally speaking, we stop updating our phone software when it is discontinued. In this case, the MDA Pro is not part of our current lineup so another software update will not be offered.
Thank you for your time.
Kind regards.
PaulByrne
T-Mobile"
Now I wouldn't consider that a definate no, 'cos I think the MDA PRO is discontinued in Germany too and they've released the update there but who knows... It doesn't look too good though :-( Think the future of the HTC Universal lies in the hands of the Devs...

WP7 launches in Denmark in October

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

Languages we should keep

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.

truth
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

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.

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?
