Setting system language to Japanese and have contacts sorted by last name - General Questions and Answers

I want to have the system language be Japanese, the only problem is when you select this the contacts are automatically sorted by first name and there is no way to select sorting by last name as under the English locale.
I've searched very hard, but it seems it can't be done.
Anyone know if it is possible somehow?

Forum member cheeseus at Howard Forums pointed out this ingenious solution: if you add kana yomi reading to each Latin alphabet contact, and make the yomi be again just the Latin reading, the contacts will be sorted by last name.

Can any one help me please? I have a XDA Exec with WM5. My work involves me dealing and spending a lot of time in Thailand. I have installed Living Soft translation software on my system which is great for helping me out. It also gives me the option to use a Thai keyboard on screen. However this keyboard and Thai fonts only work with the software. I receive a lot of e-mails and sms text messages in Thai but these messages do not show on my device as outlook and sms does not recognize Thai fonts. I have tried the obvious in finding some Thai fonts from the internet and installed them in the font folder, but the device does not see them.
Is there a way I can get my XDA to display both English and Thai fonts for all standard WM5 programs?
Any help will be a life saver
Regards

russian text?? language pack wm5

Is there a language pack or something that allows you to view russian text? for wm5? The device is a Cingular 8525 if it matters.
Thanks in advance
If you only need to input & read SMS MMS Email Contacts Notes ect in Russian you could try the software on the link below.
This is the simplest & safest option but may not meet your requirements.
It installs the font & a SIP keyboard in your selected language.
Well I hope this may be of use.

[Fix] Google Voice search - Ability to use all new features

Hi,
When I first installed the new Google Voice search I could only do a few actions via voice. Call, navigate to, directions and search. I couldn't do either of the send to text or email. I would say "send text peter" and it would understand what i said but just give me the option to search. I knew I had the same files as everyone else who had it all working, so it had to me something with my phone. I live in the uk so therefore have default language as English UK. Tried setting language to English US. And it worked. All voice options are now there.
So if you want to try all of the functions and don't live in the US just change your lanuage to US.
Hope that is of help.

Text message translation.

Hey everyone searched for something buy couldn't find it. I have a friend who is taking a french program in the summer and during that time they can only communicate in french so when they text me it will be in french. I myself do not speak french and was wondering if anyone knows of a messaging program that will translate my text messages without having to copy and paste every one of them.
