Welcome to the forums!
First of all, I recommend you to read the wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/). This contains all information you need about roms, software and more.
Each ROM has a specific language. It is not possible to change the language without flashing another ROM.
This means you have to download another ROM.
You can download an English shipped ROM but I recommend trying one of the cooked roms here available on the Diamond forum.
Hope this helps you.

Firstly you need to flash Hard-SPL OliNex unsigned, which you can find here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950). Hard_SPL makes your device hardly unbrickable.
After that, take a look at this wiki: Diamond for Beginners (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Diamond_For_Beginners)
This is very usefull information, which you have to read.
And yes, you can flash a 6.5 rom on your Diamond

I did the SPL Hard install but can't find a 6.5 cooked com at all and I need English.

[ElCondor]

Take a look at the thread in which you have posted.
There are many 6.5 Roms available in there.

[Mrlovkim]

I am looking at this and see nowhere to dl this rom.

After a long search I finally found the link in that thread: http://hotfile.com/list/93325/99ab7ab
But do try other ROMs to compare, because IMO this one is not the best.
Good luck!

I was trying this one but directions are not clear.

You need HardSPL 1.93
Copy “diamimg.nbh” to “Internal Storage” (root)
Hold down Volume & Back Button and Soft Reset
Press Power Button to Install ROM
Soft Reset when UPDATE COMPLETE!

Now I copied it and just put it in the internal memory but what volume button,both? with 'back' button and 'soft reset' which is where the small silver pin is, how do you hold all those down at the same time?...lol

Got it to work with the 6.1 Energy one but not the one I wanted but will keep trying.ty for all your help.:)

[ElCondor]

Okay good to hear it worked.
Just try a few roms and choose the one you like!
You're welcome:).

[Mrlovkim]

Well it looks like I will have to go back to my Dutch version, the main menu I can't get it to be the big clock and have to say that navigation is a pain but not getting to have that main screen was to annoying. I know I am doing something wrong but what I do not know.

[Mrlovkim]

Ok maybe this is where I am going wrong with this one Rom.

copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)

Where does that mean ' root dir'?

[ElCondor]

Root dir means Root directory, so the highest directory which contains folders like Windows.
Please describe your problem a bit more, eventually with screenshots.
I think you did everything how you should, but you just don't like the rom.
Just try another one, I recommend Gen. Y D2 R3, I think it suits you very well.
Another ROM to try is BSB 6.5.1A. Also a very good rom.
