Hey, does anyone know how to change the language options on your phone?

I only get English and French. I would like to add Simplified Chinese to my phone by typing Pin-Yin.

I would love to send chinese messages but obviously I can't.

I searched everywhere, but I'm getting nowhere. I seem to be finding only old dead threads that got nowhere. They link you somewhere and supposedly the links explain things to you but they don't.

I have a Sony Ericsson w810i.

I know I need a language pack. Some people call it firmware? What is firmware and how do you install one? Where to even download one?

Thanks.

Still searching.

Yeah, I checked out that website. I found the one for my phone but the description doesn't say anything in regards to being able to type in Chinese only show Chinese text.

Or am I wrong and you can type it in?

Yes, you can change the language back to the original one by going to your phone's settings and selecting the original language. If you are having trouble finding the language option, you can use the search function in the settings to quickly locate it.

5. Will changing the language delete any of my data or settings?
