English menus and Swedish region? - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi!
So I'm from Sweden but I always prefer menus in English whether it be my mobile phone or computer. Although I want to use everything bound to the metric system.
If I set it to UK - English I get miles in google maps for instance, imperial ****.
So this is done easy in windows mobile or in Windows/Ubuntu.
How can I do this with my android device?
Thanks!

german keyboard, french os

Hi everyone
First of all, great forum here, I know it since some time and I'm also using a custom ROM for my Kaiser, but I think this is actually the first time I'm posting.
Let me explain my situation I am from Switzerland (and so is my company, where I am the Cell Phone Fleet Manager). Believe it or not, but in Switzerland, there are four official languages (German, French, Italian, and something called Romantsch which noone speaks).
Problem is that we're going to open an office in the French part of Switzerland (me and the rest of the company are located in the German part). And the employees there obviously would like to have phones.
Now, although they do speak French, they're not using a French AZERTY-Keyboard but a German QWERTZ-Keyboard. However, they want a French OS, and even worse, they want to be able to type all their freaky accents (é, à, è, ç, ...).
Now I checked back with HTC and they do not offer such a phone combinations. I also checked with our cell phone network providers, and they only offer the English phones in the French part... which leads me into trouble. What kinds of phones should i get them?
My idea is to buy German phones (that way I have the QUERTZ-Keyboad layout printed on the phone). Then load the French ROM and then load the German Keyboard driver back onto the French ROM. Question is: Is that possible?
Or do you have any better ideas?
Thanks
final
anyone ... ?

Any ideas how you can get accents to work on a FUZE keyboard? Someone developed an application that would do what i need, however I don't know how to re-map the SYM key to another one... I don't have it in my keyboard as a standalone key...
not quite sure if it will help.
I just overread the whole thread, but maybe you'll find somthing in there.

[Q] Locale fallback other than english

Hi,
I've been searching for a way to change the fallback locale in Android, and found nothing at all so far.
So, The phone is set to a particular locale, say Catalan. Now, whenever an application is launched that isn't translated to said language, the phone will fall back to english, and display everything in either catalan or english.
The question is... is it possible to specify a different locale for fallback? say... German? So the phone would try to display the application in another language before falling back to english.
I'd love that as well.
However, I'm afraid that the fallback language is an app decision.
If your locale is not supported, then the app chooses for you.

[Q] So how do you change locale anyway?

I have a Viewsonic GTab running Flashback 10.0. I believe it is Android 3.1.
I travel a lot and find that lots of apps use the language of the country I am in as the language displayed. I assume it thinks because my IP address is in China or Thailand I want to see the local lingo when I really want to see English. I have adjusted the settings so my preferred language is English.
How can I set locale so the IP address is ignored and my desired language is shown?
I have looked extensively and found nothing that helps.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Change System Language

Hello,
I've purchased an HOS from a retailer in Romania. I've received a device which was intended for France.
No biggie, but I'm not able to change the system language - I have only English (France) as a viable option.
Is there a way to change the "country" of the device ? I'm not interested on the Google Play market, but rather the device "ID".
I really need you help to point me in the right direction...
So when you started the device first time and the guide came on. You couldnt choose anything but english?
I could choose from Deutch, English, Espanol, Francais, Italiano, Netherlands and Portuges.
No Romanian whatsoever.
If I go to Language and keyboard, the language is reported as English (France).
I got same, my phone is also from France...
I think it should be possible to do so somehow, as the soft should be same for all devices.
Please see my post HERE it'll get you fixed up.
Man, it worked like a charm.
Don't really understand why wasn't available from the initial selection.
Greetings and recognition upon you.
Glad to help.
