I have run the HTC development ruu on my unbranded desire and I can't change the locale to UK. It shows on date and time that I am in the correct time zone but under languages and keyboard its still set to English US. Is there any way of changing this?
Now that you mention it I remember that before installing the Scandinavian keyboard and the Swedish dictionary from the market, the default keyboard AND dictionary was US English.
I didn´t pay too much attention because there are no Scandinavian keyboards in the earlier versions and so I always install this from market. The difference is that in Froyo there was at least a Swedish dictionary, even if it was a bit rudimentary.
Perhaps this is one of the things cut down to save space. There must be some keyboards and dictionaries you can install from the market I suppose.
The problem that i have is weird, i am set to UK time and location but for some reason as the language is set too US English i cant access the UK Android Market or the UK Amazon MP3 market. I would have thought that as my location was set to UK i would get UK based stores/apps?
Does anyone know how i would go about changing it to UK?
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi - hope you're still getting notifications of this, but can you confirm that sorted out your issues with the UK Android Market? I've just done pretty much the same thing with the Gingerbread update and noticed it didn't have English (United Kingdom) so Play Store is saying some apps can't be installed in my country, when they were installed fine before flashing.
Thanks

Hi!!
I got gifted a sim free HTC desire from UK and got it working with softbank. The problem is that I can't use the japanese websites like norikae because I need to input the japanese charaters. Is there any keyboard for japanese available for HTC desire?
Yes, try Simeji or OpenWnn plus. Both are free and available in the market.
Currently on vacation in Japan, I tried a Japanese Desire at Bic Camera and it comes with a keyboard similar to OpenWnn for Japanese input.

If you are rooted:
I got the Softbank IME from the latest Android 2.2 update. You can find it on my website.
Not much difference to the old version.
@BeeGee_Tokyo, thanks for sharing!
Is it possible to just install the .apk file from the archive though?
Unfortunately the apk alone is not enough. There are several lib files that are needed on addition.
But you can try OpenWnn plus from the market. Almost the same.

I am using the Official Korean 2.2 Froyo rom and it is awesome sauce. I have deodexed it, zipaligned, resigned and themed it. Running great however...
One minor cosmetic issue i have is how the phone numbers are displayed. I prefer the format 07xxxxxxxxx however in this the numbers are shown as 07x-xxx-xxxxx. I hate it...any way to change it?
I have even tried taking related contacts files from a UK Froyo rom but it never changed...it only removed the Korean characters form dial pad.
If you are using English (US) locale, change to English (UK) or others.

I think the Korean SBF only have US English and Korean language to choose.

Now i found out that i can´t set the system language to spanish. Isn´t that weird?
My iphone i could set to over 20 languages...

Try a small app from market 'MoreLocale 2'. It should show more languages for your device. It is here:

Go to Settings, Application, All, find Customization Settings Provider. Tap force stop and disable. Run the Setup menu again, you will find all the missing languages there.

a new trick without downloading any programs.
go to settings>apps>All> scroll down and click on "customization settings provider" and choose force stop
then go back to languages and you'll find all the languages you may think of showing now. Choose any language you want.
Thx all
I have this problem with the Google Pixel 3xl. I prefer only US English but no matter how I try I keep getting my local pigen English in some of the applications. I followed the procedure and changed the prefared English to US but I still get this local language on some apps. How do I get only US English on this phone?

Are there more languages than just U.S. English installed at settings -> system -> languages & input -> languages?
The problem apps, are they regional? Is it possible they are programmed that way and not relying on the device language?
I really cannot say, but one of the application is Mapmyrun a sport tracker and I guess that could be from the US

That's a pretty main stream app. It does or does not use the locale correctly?
