Hello, just looking for some guidance on how to change the language on today feed page on P40 pro.
New with this phone and doesn't matter how I try too change still showing in arabic (I'm leaving in the ME, but the phone is set as US and English), even on Microsoft news shows normal in english (underwood that the feed comes from MS news).
Any Information and help appreciate.
thank you

Where did you buy the phone or what region is the ROM? I ask as i know if you have a Chinese version, then whatever you do, the assistant is in Chinese. May be its the same with yours and that you have an Aribic version. If so, i doubt if you can change it. I couldn't on my Chinese version.

We we moved to Shanghai 3 months ago And my Dutch T-mobile couldn't display the Chinese SMS messeges and I'm also learning Chinese. I have some *** Flash a Chinese rom into it.
To cut a long story short it is not a stabel rom if it powers of reset avantgo won't run anymore etc. And I want to know the posibility's of Chinese mobile networks.
Found the roms in the wiki. BTW anyone knows a enlisch Rom witch also supports Chinese?
If You live in Shanghai and are a Geek in mobile devices and preferably also Apple computers feel free to leave a PM.
Thanks
hi nanmac,
Try this one and I think it will help

i'm using a english rom as well
The Chinese rom witch is avaiable for download is traditional Chinese. (This is used in Taiwan and before HongKong)
I'm seeking for one in Simplified Chinese.
Or a englisch rom witch kan display Simplified Chinese. (Used in Mainland China, PRC)
@seasky what rom are you using and can it or can it not display Chinese simplified characters?
And My Chinese is not sufficient yet to read the page you linked, but I also could'nt find a rom there.
So please could you clarify what you are addressing on that page?
you may try a software called cestar,it will support simple-chinese quite well
Go to XDA-Wiki, at WM5 section, there is a method you can use to enable your device to support Chinese, without flashing the entire ROM. Just install a 3MB+ cocktail of stuff.
UPDATE: Oops, just notice yours is not a WM5 phone. Sorry.
Would someone who has updated to the release ver of Mango confirm that Japanese is still an option on a US phone? I've really been enjoying being able to write emails and text in kanji.
Still available or region locked for the release?
I have no problem typing in Japanese on my Omnia and I believe this will be a global language. For what matters, I can also type in Chinese with the Taiwanese BoPoMoFo input.
i've send my country language request to MS but they do not response anything

You need to go here:

and pick up your region code...
Cant post links, a message from the forum appeared, sorry about that...
I apologize for not being able to post in the appropriate thread, but I am following these instructions for adding not-officially-supported languages for the Nokia Lumia 900 device that I purchased with AT&T.
I have succesfully flashed my desired languages (Finnish and Norwegian) to be included with the already included English and Spanish languages. I didn't update the core OS, and left it at 7.10.8112.7.
However, as expected, there are some "bugs". Really I have only noticed two.
Nokia Scout tells me when I open it (translated): "Scout isn't available in this land or in this region". This may be app-related and I frankly don't think I care too much about Scout since I don't know what it is.
My second problem is more bug related and problematic to me. The "nokia blue" theme does not appear in the list of themes for the windows phone. Thus, when switching to one of the two new languages, the theme gets defaulted to purple, but apps with live tiles think it should use green. Manually selecting a theme fixes the problem, but I really would like nokia blue.
Is this possbly related to outdated language files? If so, how can I download the latest language files?
Hi,
I got your email and I'll answer here so others can see too. The problem with Local Scout is that it's not available in Finland. Be sure to set only Display Language to Finnish and leave others as US. That way those apps *should* work. (Also needs US Live ID) The second problem is that accent colors are language based, so you cannot fix it. It will only work on languages that the Lumia 900 came with.

I noticed the Lumia 900 is started preorders today in Finland.
Is it possible I can flash the nordic ROM or something once someone gets it?

That might be possible, but since the European version of the Lumia 900 has different hardware so you might loose 4G and maybe 3G too.

Hello everybody,
I've just bought a Surface Pro today in Beijing China. (Day 1)
Unlike the Chinese version of Surface RT I also own, it appears to be impossible to change the UI to English (or French). From the control panel language section, I always get a message in Chinese saying this Chinese version of Windows can't use English.
If I set my local settings to English, most of the Metro app work in English, but all the Metro settings or desktop side will of course stay in Chinese.
I haven't found any separated language pack to download and I fear that won't be possible to use without at least a registry hack.
Is there a workaround to solve this big problem ?
Or is it possible to flash a stock ROM of the US version ? Where could I get it ?
Thanks for your help, it would be highly appreciated.
BiNoO
Did you bought the Pro Chinese? or the other one?
I will be there in some days, and I was thinking in buying one from me.... seams that I will not.... unfortunately :crying:
So have u changed the language to English. I have bought Chine edition too and wanted to change the language
Hello, I have always visited the forum ... but now I can not find the solution.
Shop by ebay htc 8x and only include 3 languages. Viewing forums, several have this problem, but others do not ... I guess it's the rom.
This is the response from HTC:
Because of previous agreements with Microsoft, the language change option is not available for models like 8 x therefore confirm the language is recommended prior to purchase, we are sorry but you can not change the language, this option is not available.
Also if you can check directly with microsoft support so you can verify if they have any option to change the language as they developed the computer's operating system.
Any solutions?
Sorry for my English, I speak spanish. Use google translator
Windows Phone 8 supports many languages but if your ROM does not contain the language you wanted, there is no way I know of can install on to it. Basically, that is a carrier phone and the particular carrier don't want to pay extra for language packs that will not be used in their market.
See if you can find another ROM to flash that do include the language but also compatible with your particular model.

I can get your phone to use spanish, but it's a little bit complex, you have to download the RUU_Europa rom and unrar the exe file with WinRAR and use a Y-Cable and a Flash disk to flash your phone. I've successfuly update my phone to add chinese GUI
YOU are upgrade rom ship EU khi bootloader your phone 15x or DOWNGRADE ROM ship china. I'm FINDING for Chinese ship rom.
WHO IS CHINA SHIP TO PLEASE ROM
