have you figured it out yet? i'm trying to sell my phone here in BJ but I can only sell to foreigners until I get that language on there.

AT&T Lumia 900 does Chinese language quite nicely. Under region+language settings modify sytem locale, browser & search language to either Traditional or Simplified Chinese. Then add Chinese keyboard input for 注音符號 and Hanyu Pinyin. They are both there. Good luck!

wait.... how can u use 900 in china?
i thought it's lock to at&t

I have a lumia 800 that I use and bought a 900 from my friend who works at at&t when I visited the states a few weeks ago. It is locked to at&t still. Waiting for that code.

As for 注音符號, can you choose Eten (倚天) keyboard layout? And can you use the Hanyu Pinyin Keyboard to output Traditional Chinese? Any handwriting input?

You can type in Chinese but the display language for the UI is still locked to English or Spanish.

Here are the keyboard options on my Titan (I *think* these are standard Mango, so it should be the same on a Lumia 900):
Chinese Simplified 12 Key
Chinese Simplified Handwriting
Chinese Simplified QWERTY
Chinese Traditional Handwriting
Chinese Traditional BoPoMoFo
I don't see any further settings for the Chinese keyboards (I might be missing something).

bopomofo and handwriting are both included for traditional Chinese. No PinYin :-(
Under Region + Language Settings:
Display Language (no Chinese)
Region Format: Chinese HKG, Macao, PRC, Singapore, and Taiwan
System Locale: Chinese HKG, Macao, PRC, Singapore, and Taiwan
Browser & Search Language: Chinese HKG, Macao, PRC, Singapore, and Taiwan

Japanese language support

Can anyone tell me how to get a Windows Mobile device purchased in the UK to support Japanese language? Ideally for input and reading of text.

English version sales in HK

The English version sales in Hong Kong this time has multiple language input method. All UI is in English but on the keyboard there is a key for user to switch between Chinese & English input method. The English fonts is standard Tahoma but the Chinese fonts is AR HeiU20 Medium (grey) which is very ugly. I suggest any user change the Chinese Fonts and I found that SC_Song is the best.
Moved Post To General Forum.
Especially with the title i can't directly see if it needs to be in Rom Development?

I think the default Chinese font is fine.
But if you want some Chinese fonts, contace me, I can send you some since I'm using Chinese Vista plus English MUI.
To change the font, just put the font in "\Windows" and make some changes in "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink"

Hey, I like how HTC applied new chinese input methods for english systems. But they didn't provide any transcribe method. Any good software suggestions? Will CE-Star conflict with the new input methods? Thanks for any help!

Did you mean Chinese hand-writing IME ?
Though I rarely use, but I‘ve got some, like 漢王手寫(HangWang Hand-writing), 三星手寫(SAMSUNG), 蒙恬手写(PenPower), etc..
of course when you search for these IMEs, you'd better Google them with Chinese keywords or it will return less results.
BTW: In fact, I'm now using the Chinese font in official Diamond ROM on my Pro2. It's better than the default Chinese font.

Hey, thanks! Nice to talk to members with the same backgrounds. He he he... Your information is very useful.
What's the difference in the fonts? Is the Diamond one better? any screen dumps?
Did you guys get a CE-Star install CD with your English version TP2?
hi, Singaporean Chinese here. We have the A4 chinese input method installed by default on the Rhodium. Noticed that I cannot input 'PinYin' using the hardware Qwerty keyboard and have to use the touchscreen kb.
How about HKG? Do you have the same software? If yes, is this a software limitation?

Nope, didn't get the CS-Star CD. Because you are able to use the keyboard to input chinese words.
You have 4 options:
1. ZhuYin
2. PinYin
3. CangJie
4.Stroke
I don't know why they didn't provide a transcribe version, so I can just write on the screen. I am no good with the keyboard.
I want to install CE-Star but don't know if it will conflict with current Chinese inputting methods.

Try installing CE-Star v2.8 R3c.
From what I read previously, Diamond2 was bundled with CE-Star despite having Chinese support, but I don't know anyone with one in person to confirm this.

[Q] How do I add Swedish S-Pen input language on a German Note 2?

I can change the system language into Swedish and keyboard works fine.. but I can't write with the S-Pen in Swedish, only works with German, English and Korean..
Is there a way I could add Swedish S-Pen language to my phone?
Btw, I have a German Note 1 and I can write in Swedish with the S-Pen perfectly fine...
Thanks in advance.
Interesting. I bought mine from my cell carrier here on Turkey and I have all the languages already installed.

Wait, what? Handwriting works for you in all languages on your Turkish Note 2?
Sorry I have misspopken earlier. The only available languages are English, French, Korean , Turkish and 2 more scripts (Arabic and Hindi maybe). Since it was for the Turkish market they might have injected it there. Sorry for the misunderstanding I might have caused.

Same problem with Norwegian language
I have the same problem when trying to add Norwegian S-Pen language to a German Note 2. Any solution in sight?
Or is it the revival of a last century problem: Back then it was impossible (!) to buy a mobile phone offering both Norwegian and German as T9 languages

Norwegian working fine here, On Westcrip's edt black edition.

I hope not, lol. Shouldn't it be possible installing a nordic stock rom on the Note 2? I'm such a noob in that regard... Will investigate further.
I live in the uk but got my note 2 from Germany. I noticed a similar problem where handwriting recognition does not work English_US but luckily does for English_UK , I thought it was a bug but it appears that you cant easily add more S-pen languages. I thought that when you downloaded the input language in samsung keyboard setting, then S-pen imput for that language would be downloaded too, but it isn't.

Not possible to add more S-Pen-Languages.
Hello,
I have been in contact with both the German and Norwegian Samsung support. It seems to be impossible to add Norwegian as an S-Pen language. I suppose, it's impossible to add other languages than those installed when buying the phone too. Sad.

Adding new UI languages

Until recently, I had a WP7 which supported a variety of UI languages like German.However, when my Focus died, I got an 8x from Virgin which only supports English, French and Chinese (traditional and simplified). Is there any way for me to download additional UI languages?
Cheers!
