Default ROM question: how to add a language? (please help)

I've got my HTC Touch pro2 early, by not waiting for Norwegian release date (4 july).
The touchflo is english, and I like it that way.
The keyboard layout does not include norwegain "æøå" letters.
The spellcheck/XT9 lists I already have are: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
I would like to have "Norwegian"

where are the settings/files i need to add, in order to fix this ?
Jornada 680, Ipaq 3660,3760,3970,5500, QTEK 9090(=HTC Blue Angel) ,HTC Universal, HTC Touch Pro2, HTC HD2 , Desire HD, Galaxy Note,now using Galaxy Note II

Might be worth having a look in the blackstone forum for their language packs and just try it on the TouchPro2, should work in theory.

I tried to change my hw keyboard layout and I have been able to have "è" and "ù", no way to have "ì", "ò", "à": keys simply do not work at all...
As far as software keyboard is concerned, I believe that you should change sip.

nicelad_uk : thanks - I assume you mean this post ?

I installed Norwegian language, and it works becuase it's auto-selected, but does not show in the language selection list so after choosing English, I must reinstall it if I want it back.
It's a spellcheck and XT9 list, it does not influence the soft-keyboard layout, or the kayboards special characters list.

ninja.rogue: what do you mean by "change sip" ?
