Default Converting WM2k3 from Korean to English

I was wondering if the Korean WM2k3 PPC Phone Ed. can be converted to English? I believe I have seen a discussion on this website where someone had successfully converted from Chinese to English and vice/versa? Any help is greatly appreciated. I am looking at some of the awesome Korean PPC's and am hoping to be able to convert it. I just have to make sure it works on 1900mhz so its compatible in the US. Thanks for any help...

Thanks. Its great to know that it can be done. Your website is the only place that has said it CAN be done while all the rest said it can't. However, I am an extreme newbie to the PPC and honestly dont fully understand but I will continue to attempt to figure it out. I guess I will see about ordering the LG SC8000 possibly since it works on 1900mhz and can be converted. Thanks....

Ok here you go, its a little outdated but its what I still use:
Qman's how to use XDArit to write nk.nb1 or nk.nbf to your SD card aka the Bootloader Method!
1. Place XDArit and the nk.nb1 or nk.nbf file in the same folder and start XDArit.
2. Select your SD card (disk drive) from the drop down menu.
3. Select Write to SD
Notice that the Windows CE box is already checked so just click the browse button at the end of that window.
4. Select your (nk.nb1 or nk.nbf) image and then Open
Notice by default XDArit will open looking for a *.nb1 file but if you're going to use a .nbf file you'll have to manually change the "Files of Type" to *.nbf
Notice that nk.nbo / nk.nbo was automatically added as your boot-loader and its check box is unchecked so leave it that way and click OK. XDArit should start writing to the card.
When XDArit has finished writing the image put the SD-card into the XDA and hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:

SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.
Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a "Soft Boot/Reset".
a guide somebody wrote once about how to upgrade a Wallaby device

but if you are very very newbiee then maybe you should have somebody do it for you so you dont ruin the device making it an expensive doorstop

I am a very very newbie due to the fact I have always used Palm which is Kindergardenish compared to PPC. I still think I get the drift on what to do though because it sounds mostly like what you might do with normal windows. This is going to sound extremely retarded but here it goes, do you have to have an SD Card disk drive hooked to your main computer to install stuff on it? I suppose in this case maybe, due to it being in a different language. Anyway, thanks alot. I will let you know how it goes.
