Enabling Multilanguage Support for Touch Diamond. GSM ONLEY NOT CDMA

Do this at your own risk, I seek no reward for this and don’t hold me responsible for any information given here. I have tried this on my own devices which are xda Ignito and orange htc and it worked a treat.
Here you go Guys and Girls a step by step guide with photos to have all the

languages your heart desire (except Chinese) on your xda, mda and of

course htc diamond. If your preferred phone language is not Arabic, then you

can have the setting changed to WWE with your desired language enabled

to let you send and receive SMS, manage Microsoft one note and word

documents so you can read, edit and write in your chosen language with all

other MUI staying in English. To send SMS and edit in your chosen

language; you would, of course, need to add your own language keyboard

and there are plenty out there; I personally use Resco 4.1 multi language

keyboard, but that’s a personal choice. This support is available as an

extended package in htc WWE shipped ROMs for the Arab region, namely

version:
Diamond_MRII_RUU_Diamond_HTC_ARA_2.03.515_Radio_si nged_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship which available to download from htc-Europe. If you try to download it from

the official site and you’re told that this is not suitable for your device after

you enter you SN don’t panic, htc will only let you download ROMs if your

device SN matches the region it was shipped for and that doesn’t mean that

it will not work on your European device. THIS IS DEFINATLY A WWE ROM.

If you don’t have a compatible SN and your phone is GSM, just do a Google

search for the ROM and you should find it.

For you who have flashed a ROM before,

flashing this ROM should be easy. However, I understand that there are

problems flashing 2.xx.xxx ROMs from a PC and you have to do

certain things to the ROM so you can flash it from the phone’s internal

storage.

Please read related threads for that, I used my PC to flash this rom using

olipro's NBHutil to extract the MB files from the main NBH file from the

ROM and rebuild it so it can be flashed using Diamond Custom RUU or

using the RUU that came with the ROM after deleting the SPL.NBH and the

original RUU_singed.nbh and replacing it with the modified nbh

built using NBHutil (Make sure you do not build the SPL back

into the modified NBH and have the relevant hard SPL) I’m not

going to dwell on this subject as this is not the object of this thread.

For you who have not flashed a ROM before,

if you don’t know what you’re doing and can’t be bothered reading or afraid

that if you flash your device you’ll lose your warranty; you can use a cab

file to enabble mltillanguage.

Just copyThe multillinguage cab to your device and install it on the main

memory.

This cab is, baiscaly, extracted from the same ROM and modified by a guy

called TSD over an Arabic forum, I don’t know if I can make reference to the

said forum or upload the cab as I might be breaking this forum’s rules. The

cab file is for free on that other forum. I shall leave this matter to the

Moderators to decide if I can post it or not.

The steps for installing the extended package is, of course, different if you

are flashing the ROM and you should know how to apply it. If not ask here

and I will go through it.

Whichever way you want to go, the illustration applies for both flashing and

adding the .cab file. The reason being is once you install this, your MUI will

be in Arabic and if you’re not an Arabic user you will definitely be struggling

to change it back to English. The whole idea of this is to have a WWE

device capable of handling your own language’s SMS read and write and

other stuff mentioned earlier. Now go through the pictures and enjoy.
