Hi guys, I have a touch HD in English. However im currently in china and would need to have it read chinese characters.. Does any one know how to make it recognize the chinese characters?
THanks!
A good programme I've used for a long time is CE-Star from Mobem Technologies (http://www.mobem.com/products/CE-Star.php). It will enable the display of Chinese characters on Windows devices and also give you the ability to write in Chinese via pinyin or hand writing recognition.
Not sure of a freeware solution or alternative methods.
One point to note if installing CE-Star is that it may automatically adjust your regional settings to the PRC. This will make some programmes change their menus into Chinese (e.g. Google Maps). If this happens just change the regional setting back to an English based country setting and Google Maps, for example, will change back to English.
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.
Hello everyone,
My GN2 has been ordered from UK and I am based in US. I have looked everywhere for any idea on how to change this but am not able to find anything.
The phone is set to English US. The Samsung Keyboard has English UK, German, and Chinese by default, but they are not selected and instead I have English US and Russian downloaded and selected. Voice typing and Google Now all have English US selected and installed as offline voice data.
However, in S Note settings, Handwriting input language selection only has English UK, German, and Chinese available for selection and nothing else seems to be available.
Does anyone know a way to change this to English US?
Thanks,
I think you need to flash to a rom for your region.

It would be hard considering there is no US firmware for N7100 but the question is since in every other setting phone has options to choose multiple different languages why S Note has only 3 languages hardcoded, and if there is a way to change that.
Until recently, I had a WP7 which supported a variety of UI languages like German.However, when my Focus died, I got an 8x from Virgin which only supports English, French and Chinese (traditional and simplified). Is there any way for me to download additional UI languages?
Cheers!

when i get notifications in arabic on the mi band 4 it doesnt show the actual characters i just get ???
please help
Try changing your band language to Russian (or Spanish, Polish, maybe others too). English language doesn't contain any special characters, so they show just question marks. Also you might try transliterate feature of Notify & Fitness app as well (though no idea if that works with Arabic).
