Hi all,

does anybody here know how to get Chinese language viewing/input on the Blackberry 8800 series? Clear instructions would be greatly appreciated!!

First, please make sure the ROM is multi-language, with chinese support;

if it is, you can press Menu when you input the words, select change language, then you will find Pinyin in it.

I searched for "multi-language ROM" and only found this same post. How exactly do you select/install multi-language ROM? This is for an 8800.

Thanks

Is it a multiple language version, can I still use the english os and show the chinese correctly? Thanks.

multiple language version dont support chinese viewing or input, you need the chinese version, also any version you download will support English.

If I installed a chinese version, can I return to the original English version?

Is all the service will be work well in the chinese version, BTW: I'm a sprint blackberry BIS user.

Many appreciate for your help!

Chinese version is the same as the English version with the chinese support option.

I checked the link in your signature, it's for 8800 and SmarTone-Vodafone. I'm using 8830 from Sprint, and only found below os. Any advice will be welcome.
