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 ... ?

maybe this can help:

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.

T*Omnia English Translation of menus and Dialogs from Korean..How??

Hello all
A friend of mine is living in Korea will bring me his new T-Omnia next week. The ROM that comes with it is in Korean and he has some trouble navigating though it as everything is in Korean. I tried to find a WWE ROM for the T*Omnia but got nothing.
Question: is there an easy way to translate the menus and dialogs to English.

It won't be that easy. The T*Omnia is sold only in Korea, so no WWE ROM's exist for it. There are software solutions that can translate the menus in russian or bulgarian but I don't think something similar exists for english as it is the default language if WinMobile If course you can try to hack some other translation of WinMobile (bulgarian for example) and apply it to the T*Omnia but there are still 2 issues:
1. No guarantee that such a solution will work with korean ROM. It's intendet to localize WWE ROM's. On the other hand a friend of mine localized a NL Diamond ROM successfully, so it may be worth a shot
2. The T*Omnia has a (still) non-standart resolution. Just look at the HD compatibility list for problematic apps So this is also a possible issue.
Anyway. Here is the link to such a localization program. It supports a number of languages, so it may be of some help to you.

you could always cook us an english rom- i would love a T*Omnia running english!!!

none of the software in the link seem to have the ability to localize to english
i guess having the ability to simply have the main menus in english is "good enough" untill Samsung releases a WWE version of the rom. if someone can help with that, that would be great.

anybody can help with this?

I second this - I have a sch-m490 could anyone cook an english rom.

Same here, need that rom badly. Anyone please?

BUMP please help with this. Im in korea and i really cant use my phone right now. I couldnt enjoy my omnia. Please please help.

Please guys im so desperate here. Anyone please.

[Q] European Stock Image for US WiFi Xoom

Hi all,
I have bought a WiFi Xoom in US but it's a gift for someone who doesn't speak English. Does anyone know where to download the stock image that contains Italian?
Many thanks!

Bad news, not available and might not become available.
Two options: install a free kernel and add 0.5 language pack (major event)
or
use more locale app and change manually to "it US".
All apps will be in Italian, just the system will still be in English.

thanks hdtvpower!
nice app, I installed it, though for someone that does not speak one word in English and is new to technology in general (and not that young anymore ) even just the system settings in English could be a big issue. I guess I better return this device and get a European one.
thanks for your help.

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.

[Q] How can I install / remove a system language pack on SM-G386W

Hello everybody,
First off I'd like to thank all the developers and contributors to this Forum, you're doing a great job :good:. Although this is my first post, I've been following this forum for a while now and learned lots of good things.
Now the problem...
I have a Samsung Galaxy Core LTE (SM-G386W) from Fido Canada. It only came with 5 default system languages (English, French, Korean, Chinese and one more - don't really know what it is) and I'd like to know if it's possible to install others. I bought this phone for someone that doesn't understand/speak any of the languages above, I'd like to enable/install Romanian language pack.
Phone is rooted. I tried already a bunch of apps such as Language Enabler but the results aren't satisfactory, a few app names and messages get translated but the menus stay in English. Besides when I go to Language and input menu, it shows me Romanian (Romania) selected but if I press on it, the drop down list still only shows the original 5 languages I can chose from. Therefore I assume the enabling is not permanent nor complete.
I also tried flashing a ROM from the similar model in Europe (SM-G386F) but it didn't go through.
Any ideas anyone?
Thank you.

Hi mceuca
