Desktop Manager language change?

So I live in Lebanon and I downloaded Desktop Manager. It's in arabic and I don't understand a word.
Is there any way of changing the language without uninstalling or downloading it again?
Thanks.

Hi James-B,
You may need re-download it again. (Modifying would likely call for the installation file)
The following KB article should explain the process in more detail:

How to change BB desktop manager language ?

I downloaded BB desktop manager many times. Each time I download only ARABIC language is being installed. I tried downloading the ENGLISH version also. But STILL I have the same trouble. I read your post regarding this but I couldn't get any right solution for this. Please if anyone knows the correct step by step procedure for changing the language or any other solutions it would be really thankful.

In order to post a picture, you will first have to host it online at any one of the many free or paying hosting sites across the web. Photobucket is a good example. Then you can either post the picture as a link (suggested) or as a picture to be displayed. Either of those two can be done by clicking one of the two buttons in the posting menu above your message box when you are typing a response or new thread. The "Insert/edit link" button looks like a simple, silver chain link. The "Insert/edit image" looks like a tree with a blue background. Good luck.

Desktop Manager: language input question

My blackberry is bold 9700, and Desktop manager version is 5.0.1.18
I heard that OS 5.0.0.351 (east Asia) can support Chinese character input.
So I download it from: https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=1905AEDAB9BF2477EDC068A355BBA31A
and install it in PC. then I launch "Desktop manager" -> "Application Loader" -> "Add or remove applications". But in "Language and Input Support" , there is no "Chinese" selection.
could anyone give me suggestion how to add this function?

I came across the same issue. It took me hours this afternoon to work out the solution. Here you go:
Preparation Step (optional, only if necessary): If there is existent data, like emails, contacts, etc. and You want to keep these, You have to backup it in some way. See Your BlackBerry manual for Backup.
Uninstall any previous BlackBerry device software. Go to the Control Panel and then go to Add/Remove Programs. There You can find any previously installed device softwares. Don’t confuse the device software with the BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
Download the latest BlackBerry OS for Your specific BlackBerry model from this site (I chose the south east Asian version, You can choose the language on step 2 on the BlackBerry website):
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=EEFC9E10EBDC4A2333B42B2DBB8F27B6
Install the files You just downloaded
Make sure Your BlackBerry device is connected to Your desktop PC and the BlackBerry Desktop Manager is NOT running.
Go to the folder of Your BlackBerry device software loader:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
There You can find a file named VENDOR.XML. Rename it or delete it.
Open a console window and go to the BlackBerry folder by entering:
cd C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader\
enter:
Loader.exe /nojvm
This should start the installation routine.
After a short while You see a window where You can choose what to install. See picture below.
Finish Your installation. The first reboot after installing the new OS software on Your BlackBerry might take half an hour, so You better drink some tea meanwhile.
If You reach this step, You almost made it. Pinyin and other input methods! Don’t forget to install the necessary fonts as well.
Hope this helps, Tina. ;-)

NWBC 4.0 PL9 Desktop - Global Language change?

Dear Colleagues,
We have rolled out NWBC 4.0 via a software tool. On my pc the default language of all NWBC information is in German. For my colleagues it is in English. So I assume it is taking the information from the local pc settings? Is this correct? Is it possible to change it like in the SAP GUI where you just change the language from DE to EN?
Regards,
Alexander

Hi all,
For me that's a significant disadvantage. I have to give presentations - showing the Desktop NetWeaver Business Client for Windows - with my computer (laptop) in German and in English. It's more than user-unfriendly to force me swithcing the 'Format' each time from "German" to "English (United Kingdom)" for example, because this affects a lot of Windows Settings I do not want to have.
A simple option "Language" within the NWBC personalize settings would be by far the best switch from my point of view. The Initial default language (when installing NWBC Desktop) could be derived by the Format - that's okay.
It appears to me that the current way could be overengineered.
Kind regards,
Jochem

Setting BB Pearl Flip clock to network? Desktop Manager asks for an update to languages.

The Flip looks appears to require manual time adjustment rather than pulling the date and time information from the local network, either by setting it through options on the clock function, or through the Options - Date & Time menu.
My Desktop Manager keeps asking, when launched, an update to the same Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish languages. How do I turn it off?

I'll try to answer to some of your questions.
The Media Card is according to the OS verison on the BlackBerry. The model doesn't really matter.
Look at Options > About, third line down beginning with a "v.4.xxx".
Maximum capacities:
BlackBerry Device Software Media Card Size Limit
BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.0 -- Up to 2 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.1 -- Up to 4 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.2 -- Up to 4 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.3.0 -- Up to 8 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.5.0 -- Up to 8 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.5.0.81 and above -- Up to 16 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.6.0 -- Up to 32 GB

How do I change settings so Blackberry desktop manager doesn't open when I start my computer??

I want the desktop manager to open when I ask it to, or else to open automatically when I connect my phone to the computer by USB. Currently, it opens when I start my computer. I would greatly appreciate any help with this.

Did you install the software from a CD or download it?
If from the CD, put it back in your drive. When the wizard appears choose the Modify option. Select the BlackBerry Desktop Manager from the 3 choices listed and hit Next. Your going to reselect the same options as you did when you first installed the software, but stop and the last step where you have the 2 checkboxes. You want to uncheck the top one that talks about starting the software when the computer starts
If you just downloaded the software go into Add/Remove Programs, select the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and hit the Change/Remove button. Then just follow the steps above.
Hope this helps

Problem With Newly Downloaded Desktop Manager Multi-Language v.4.6.0 With Media Manager

I just updated my desktop manager software this afternoon with the newer version that's in my subject line. The backup/restore feature works fine, but when I try to open the media manager, it opens, says no device is connected (when it is), and then gives me a pop-up message saying that an error has occurred (doesn't say what error specifically), and that the program needs to be restarted. I have tried it numerous times, and it always gives the same error message. Any ideas?
FYI, I have a Blackberry Pearl 8130, and am on the Verizon network.

First download the latest USB BB drivers from the following link"
Download Software
Perform the clean install of 4.5 without MM from here
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
This will eliminate MM from the problem and give you a fresh 4.5 and new USB drivers.

Can't log into any desktop manager KDM set autologin

Hello, new Arch user. I moved over from Ubuntu.
I installed arch on my laptop with KDE, LXDE, and Gnome. I had KDE and LXDE set up and working the way I wanted. I tried to log into Gnome. "Something" is wrong with Gnome (no idea at this point). It simply hangs at a black screen.
I had set KDM to autologin. Now I can't log in, log out, or change desktop environments. I don't know how to turn off the autologin (I turned it on when I was logged into KDE), or force KDM to switch back to a desktop manager that works.
I found my kdmrc (/usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc). It indicates autologin is disabled.
I can get to a shell (ctrl-alt-F#). I can't get to any working graphical environment.

You don't need to login with the master password. When you get to the log in screen, just log in as you would normally.

Desktop manager in english

Hi,
Whenever i install the BlackBerry Desktop manager, the program defaults the language to arabic, and thus installs in arabic. Not even changing the country would turn the setup to english.
How can i install the program in engish, knowing that i just downloaded the latest multilanguage version from blackberrry website.
please advise,
regards,

Just for the record, the english only desktop manager is not there at your link. There is only the multi-language version. The English only link is for the DEVICE MANAGER.
Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Thank you for that update...as you may have noticed, I posted that link 2.5 years ago...so it's not all that unlikely that they may have changed the content in the intervening time period.
Good luck!

Desktop manager for Boost Mobile 8530 smartphone...help?

I have the BB 8530 from Boost Mobile but the desktop manager will not detect the device when connected to USB port. I am running Vista Home Prem (64-bit). I have installed Desktop Manager v5.0.0 to no success. Vista does not seem to recognize the device at all or at least not getting anykind of notification that I plugged it in. Do I need to install device drivers for the BB?? I thought DM would have them included?? I am trying to change the language on the device to spanish from english and was told it had to be done through Desktop manager.
Thanks for the help!!

Desktop Manager 6.0 stopped working

For no apparent reason my DM version 6 stopped working yesterday. I have de- and re-installed it and rebooted with no improvement. When the application opens I see a partially loaded screen. Very limited text and drop down arrows that do nothing, no menu options. I do not get an error message. I'm using Windows 7 and nothing about my laptop has changed since the last time I used the DM, except for I installed SKYPE.
What can I do if a re-install did not take care of it?
Thanks,
Carolyn

Error when updating Playbook OS version via Blackberry Desktop Manager

Greeting,
I have a batch of old playbooks which having the stack charging issue, but I found that I can update the OS to the newest version (2.1.0.1917) via Blackberry Desktop Manager, then the charging algorithm will be changed to the updated one and go over this dead battery issue. I was able to do so successfully in the past week smoothly on several devices.
But since this Monday, the Desktop Manager is saying "An updated Blackberry Desktop Software component must be installed before you can continue" when downloading the Desktop software and will appear "There was an error updating your software, an error has occurred while downloading the Blackberry Desktop Software.Please try again." and preventing the process. Seems there are some change on the server side starting this week which has caused this problem, but there's no error code to locate the exact issue.
I tried on 2 different computers as well as completed uninstalling and re-installing the Desktop manager, also tried to disable the automatic update as been advised in some threads. So no clue how to deal with it for now. It will be highly appreciate if some one can share some idea.
I've attached the step by step screenshots for reference, where you can find here:

Sorry I can not help you with your problem but perhaps you can help me.
Can you advise where I can find info on "disable the automatic update"?
just ignore the update if you dont want it on the playbook
for reloading the OS
First I would like you to do a Back Up of your PlayBook using your computer and BlackBerry Desktop Software.
This can be downloaded for free from http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
After the Back Up is complete I need you to unplug your PlayBook and then push and hold down the Power Button until the unit Force Powers Off.
Now, while Desktop Software is still open on your computer and the PlayBook Powered Off, Connect the PlayBook to your computer.
You should see and error screen from Desktop Software pop up that has the options to Retry, Update, or Cancel.
QUICKLY choose the Update option.
This will erase all the information off of your PlayBook and Re-Write the Software back onto it. Once it's complete your PlayBook will need to go back through the setup wizard, and you can then perform a restore using Desktop Software to return your information. The only thing that won't come back after the restore are the apps that you downloaded from App World but they can be easily Re-Installed using the My World feature in App World.
