How to change from european to firmware with chinese input

Hi,
i've got a sensation with a t-mobile rom.
I didnt update to the last android version. I would like to update to a rom where i can use chinese input, but can use android market as well.
I know the stock firmware in china doesnt include android market for license reason or something.
Or do i have to use some custom mod?
followed this guide and installed the asia RUU

[Q] Languages for Android OS

Hi Everyone;
Today, i made a decision to update my GT-P5510 tablet to Android 4.2.2 via download its file from Sammobile...
But, there was only one problem here; I am living in Turkey but there is no offical update upper than android 4.0.4 for my country...
So, i need to use English version... I agreed that, i gone to website than dl the firmware than installed it to my tablet via Odin...
After the update i see a suprise!..
Dadadaa!.. My tablet updated to Android 4.2.2 successfully but still Turkish!
But i really cant understand how can it be? Can it be linked with Gapps (offically come installed with Stock ndroids as you know) why my language is Turkish?
So, if operating systems languages nıt important, why there is a lot of different language version for an offical stock rom?
Can anybody explain this surprise for me?
Thanks...
Let me tell you by an example:
It's not necessary for President to know people, but for the people they have to know President. :sly:

The difference between those versions is not just languages... Most ROMs contain many languages that you can select from, that's not really a surprise (although the selection varies by region). The difference in versions is what's called CSC (Customer Sales Code, or Consumer Software Customization, whatever it is). It determines the list of supported locales, and your default locale (language, formats), settings for your carrier(s), etc. Basically, it's a bundle of settings specific to a region of a product distribution.
As for how your phone automatically recognized your language, I am not 100% sure, but it could be by carrier, or by physical location based on the network. For example, when I installed European-based ROM on my old Galaxy S2, it recognized my language as English (Canada). The funny thing is that Canadian English does not even exist as an option in that ROM -- if I change it later to US or British, I can't go back to Canadian, because it's not listed! But it's still set like that during the initial setup. Go figure...

Greetings and welcome to assist. I found this thread that may help
https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/advice-porting-indian-rom-to-chinese-t3397736
I think the chinese variant is dual sim isnt it ? so any single sim firmware will need modifying to get a signal

From where did you buy this phone?
If you selected the language, then all default apps should change to the selected one. Make sure you didn't buy a fake S8.

won't help with Samsung apps - you're going to lose that functionality (nothing missed), but just download HK firmware and use ODIN to install. Simply install a vpn apk such as expressvpn and you will now have google in china!

Might need to be careful with which HK firmware you upload... I can't read Chinese so, I'm unsure. But I made certain that I used the right one for the HK 6gb phone, as I wasn't sure if it was the same for the 4gb phone with less storage and exact same model number. Good luck.

Chinese Motorola Edge X30 Flashed with a Global Rom?

Ok I have read much on the net and since I have no idea how to flash a phone or do any mods I will ask my questions here .
I am considering a Edge X30 (Chinese Version) from china where the seller will flash a Global Rom on it before shipping.
Here is what they say in the description:
"1. All the mobile phones in our store are original, Chinese version. We will open the package of this mobile phone, install and test the global rom. The global version supports multilingual and ota updates."
Now I think that if the bootloader has been unlocked to re flash the Rom it cannot be locked again and that is why it is not suppose to be able to get OTA updates
so I am wondering if the above claim by the seller is true?
I would consider the CN Rom and just put Google on it but I do not want the Chinese Apps that you cannot remove or any chinese language.
Other sellers of the same phone say no OTA if they put the Global Rom on it but this seller says it will OTA and they say they are "Motorola store"
so maybe they know more?
I've been using the CN version for most of this year without a problem. Everything works as it should using Google including Pay.
There aren't too many Chinese apps & all can be removed except the Moto apps themselves. Have installed all app's easily & have had several updates as well. Only negative is battery but I could say that about most phones. I would stay away from the global version IMO but of course it's up to you
Thanks for the reply.
I will consider the CN Version as long as I can delete or uninstall any useless Chinese apps .Are the Moto apps same as a phone from USA?
Did you download Google Play Store App and others like Google Maps etc?
