for eveyone looking for a multi-language .282 and any other firmware here's the solution as posted by a friend of mine(Nabil K):
"""so here is the solution for people who wants full language support:
suppose u still have .266 multi language installed on ur system else install it again or if u have other multi-language firmware it will do.
go to: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\shared\Loader Files\9000 XXXXx (ur firmware version folder)\Java and u select all files and COPY to the same folder of .282 firmware(Java) it will ask you if u want to replace file JUST answer NO to all of them. In this way only the languages files that are not available in .282 will be copied.
Now run your desktop manager and install .282 and you will have all languages available to choose from.
Tested on my bb.

Or, you can install the Multilanguage version from the Latest OS thread at the top of this 9000 section... Both Multilanguage and East Versions are listed.

ur right but this can also be applied for os 5 or any other os that doesn't have multi-language
