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. ;-)

  • 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 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:

  • Desktop Manager App

    I just updated Cloud and I looked in my App folder on my iMac and couldn't find the Desktop Manager app. 
    See below:
    The Creative Cloud desktop manager app detects and downloads updates, automatically. Uncheck the box to turn it off. (Applies to only the Desktop Manager app.)
    Question:
      Where would it be?  It wasn't in the Adobe folder nor in my App folder. 
      If it isn't anywhere on my computer, how can I get it?   I am running PS CC 2014, 2.2 on iMac OS 10.9.5.

    606ylt wrote:
    It was always black on the menu bar.
    If that’s the answer, then why did that update state:  “if Desktop Manager.App is installed”?
    I did not see that update and what they probably meant was "we don't know if you have it installed, only you know that."
    Anyhow, if it IS installed, then I thank you for all your time helping me out.
    It is. the App is in the proper location in your Application folder, and is active in the Menu bar.
    That is all you need.
    Glad I was able to help

  • 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

  • Desktop Manager Question

    Hello, i am using a 8700g currently which is running off of v4.1.0.346 (platform 2.0.0.143), with T-Mobile.
    I purchased a new Bold online with AT&T due to bad reception at my home and i really liked the Bold.
    My question is this: Which version of desktop manager do i download to transfer my 275 contacts to new phone? The newest one 4.7?
    If i have left something out please ask for it. I was told this was the smoothest way to perform this task.

    Problem solved. i went into ATT store and they transfered all contacts over in three minutes. i did not have any luck with pocketmac and wes that due to the sim card not being activated yet? that is all i can think of as to why it was working on the 8700 side and not on the Bold side. if you have "the" answer i would like to hear it, if not no reply is necessary.
    thank you

  • 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.

  • BB Desktop Manager v5 crashing right after I input my bb password

    using vista, before I upgraded to v5 I had already noticed my calendar sync wasn't working properly but now it does not work at all.
    if I select the mass storage mode, I can go through my blackberry but still can't make DM work.
    My PC does not seem to be the problem as my wife who uses her own profile on vista has been able to sync her BB with the DM v5.
    any help would be greatly appreciated
    thx

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Make sure the desktop manager is installed and run with full administrator rights in Vista.
    Vista admin considerations

  • Installing Blackberry Desktop Manager Software

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install the Blackberry Desktop Manager 4.0 Sp1 software
    onto a few PC's.
    Once I've customised the setup.ini file and run "setup.exe /s" from the
    local drive (or network drive), the program setup installs the software
    correctly.
    However, when creating a Zen App object and inserting the following in
    the "Run Options" tab, all I get is the MSIEXEC options screen (same as
    running msiexec.exe /?)
    Path to File:
    C:\Setup\Blackberry_Desktop_4-0_Sp1\Blackberry_DM_4.0Sp1.exe /s
    Working Directory: C:\Setup\Blackberry_Desktop_4-0_Sp1\
    Any idea why the setup works when executing from Windows Explorer, but
    fails when executing from Zen App objects?
    Thanks for the input...

    Hi Anders,
    Thanks for the reply.
    Yes, I definitely selected the option "A Simple Application (No
    ..AOT/.AXT.MSI file)"
    It's worth mentioning that the setup.exe file calls an MSI file called
    "BlackBerry Desktop Software.msi".
    That appears to be done via the setup.ini file. See below.

  • Russian language input in 4.5 (124)

    Installed new version of 4.5 (124) for my 8800. It seems that I cannot add Russian language for input. Only Western European languages are available. Please help.
    Mikhail Grozovski

    one way that will always work :
    find a carrier for a country that speaks russian
    download the OS for 8800 and install it inside Desktop Manager
    using Desktop Manager, install it across to your device.

  • Blackberry curve Language Input

    I have just recieved a BlackBerry Curve 8900 and I was wondering if it is possible to read and type in Japanese on the Curve?? As I have a lot of contacts I send messages to and I would like to type in Japanese and be able to receive messages back in Japanese too!!
    I have downloaded the latest version of the Desktop manager and have searched through the application add/remove section and I cannot see ANYTHING AT ALL to install Japanese font!
    Please help, as I really am not sure what I should be doing.
    Cheers!
    Fred. 

    Hi,
    Which carrier do you use?
    I use AT&T but I downloaded EastAsian Language pack from Hong Kong CSL.
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    When you complete the download, Go to "Start" - "My Computer" - "C:" - "Program Files" - "Common Files" - "Research In Motion" - "AppLoader" - delete "Vender.xml".Then, open the "Loader.exe" and connect BB to PC.
    When you reach to "Device application selection" page, you will see "Japanese Romaji Input Method" Check "Japanese Romaji Input Method" under the "East Asian Language and Input Support" section.

  • Blackberry Desktop Manager won't load applications

    Hi there,
    When I connect my Blackberry Curve 9360 to Desktop Manager, it connects fine and everything else works fine too; except when I click on the "Applications" tab, nothing shows up. I'm not able to see any apps or input languages on the screen. 
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Desktop Manager, syncing my device, backing it up, and I even made sure my Blackberry Appworld account was ok as well as checking if all my apps were running properly.
    When I go to Options > Third Party Applications on my Curve, nothing loads there either. I can see my applications on Blackberry App World though.
    Please help.
    Sincerely,
    Brian 

    I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE!!!!!!!  i dont know how to fix it tho let me know asap please x
