    W850i - Chinese and Japanese language support??

    Hi,
    I live in Canada and I recently bought a SE W580i phone. When I listen to my asian music, all the titles are displayed in weird symbols or boxes. Where can I download language support for Chinese and Japanese? and how do I install it?? I'm pretty technologically backward... is it hard to install it?

    Thanks so much!
    Hana

    You can#t really put both on, you can either flash a china/hong kong firmwire of japan and either one of them flash the second language on. I'm not sure what to suggest wait until another person replys.

    I dont think it pssoble to flash it both on at the same time with firmware either. Like bad boy said, you probably will have to flash the one (eg chinese) with firmware and then flash it into the directory for the other one (eg Japanese). These language files are available to download off the internet, just look around. The directory where you must flash it to is also all over the net (sorry! im just to lazy to find the list of directories on my pc =P and i cant really remember it off my head).

    I think that if you use the font of a FS from China, it will allow you to see chinese characters

    HK firmware supports Japanese character display, in addition to Chinese. And there is no Japanese firmware or font file anyway for this phone.

    oh! just saw this thread again so i thought i would pop in to let you people know that thier have been other users who have flashed their phone and confirmed that my phenomenon is correct and that hong kong firmware does support both traditional and simplified chinese. by the way, why does everyone pm me to thank me?...using the thanks button will also be fine. haha! i guess they just to thank me personally =p anyway, i also read up on this method that you can extract font from a fimware that has japanese and then load it on to your phone ( i cant remember where i saw it, but its some where in topsony. maybe someone can direct you there).
