Problem changing language for texting on BB Curve 9300 3G

Blackberry 9300 3G
Does anyone know if there is a quick way of switching keyboard language? My mobile has English and Arabic keys on the keyboard, but no Arabic option on the phone under the language settings.
When I attempt to update input languages to include Arabic through the desktop software I get the following message:
"BlackBerry® Desktop Software failed to validate your BlackBerry® device update.
Aborting install due to validation failure. Some packages contained unsatisfied dependencies."
The only advice I've found is to go to logs under ~Library on my Mac with OS X 10.6.8 which will show messages of apps that need to be uninstalled as they're third party and can't be validated. This seemed to indicate Blackberry Appworld needed to be uninstalled which I did, but still have the problem.
If anyone can help that would be great.
Also I'd be grateful if anyone can confirm if Blackberry phones are supposed to be this inconvenient? I've just spent my eigth hour on this, and I'm regretting ever having bought the phone. I've made phone calls with it, and sent texts in English, but apart from that nothing. I've already got a phone that's a tenth of the cost that also types in Arabic, which I think makes Blackberry pretty useless by comparison.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have finally found a work around for this problem. I adapted the advice from the link here: 
http://forums.crackberry.com/forum-f62/how-un-brick-blackberry-mac-336488/
To clarify I was using a BB9300 3G Curve, with BB OS 6, with the latest BB Desktop version, running on a Mac Book Pro.
You need to wipe the phone and reinstall the operating system for the handset in a way that possibly flashes the RAM on the phone, as it appears a large batch of phones were shipped with this bug.
Once prompted to repair the phone you need to choose the earliest version of OS offered by the repair wizard. It will remove your personal files and settings which will need to be reinstalled manually.
My steps were as follows:
FIRST OF ALL ENSURE YOUR PHONE IS NOT CONNECTED TO YOUR MACHINE AND THAT BLACKBERRY DESKTOP IS NOT RUNNING.
1. Delete operating system versions stored on your Mac by navigating to ~Library/ApplicationSupport/BlackberryDesktop/DeviceApplications
2. Empty the Recycling/'Trash' Bin
3. Remove the battery from your Blackberry and then connect to your machine via USB cable. The phone will display a battery with a red cross. The Desktop software should launch after the phone is connected.
4. You will be prompted to repair or restart the phone. Opt to repair and you should be presented with various versions of previous operating systems. It recommended the latest version for me, but in fact I found I had to go right back to the earliest version of operating system available which was OS5. Select this and then start the download.
5. I found the phone downloaded the entire software in one go but in the original advice it says the phone may need to be reconnected several times as it drops off, closing and restarting BB Desktop software each time. I found this only happened to me when trying to install the later versions of the operating system.
6. At the halfway point of the installation the progress bar stated it was 'Waiting for device to initialise'. At this point reinsert the battery.
7. Then wait for the phone to restart which took over 20 minutes for myself.
8. This should have completed the installation. Most importantly when the phone set itself up with OS5 it gave me an option to choose the input languages available on the phone and delete unwanted ones. I got a message on BB Desktop recommending I upgrade the OS to 6, which I did, and which now functions with input languages.
Again this workaround is from:
http://forums.crackberry.com/forum-f62/how-un-brick-blackberry-mac-336488/ which I had to alter to the steps I have outlined in case it assists anyone in the future.

  • Problem: Changing Language for Web Dynpro Java within NW Portal (i18n)

    Hi Experts out there,
    I hope all you had a nice Christmas and a big New Years Eve :)!!!
    i got a challenge for you about WD Java and internationalization (i18n)
    Here is the scenario:
    We are using a SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.0 and my task is to implement some smaller Web Dynpro  Applications.
    These Applications must be i18n conform, so i just created (according to the corresponding WD Java tutorial) some ".xlf" files.
    Okay...Everything is working fine. The user can log at the portal and the application is displayed in his language, which is "english" or "german". (the application is just a simple form)
    So far so good...Now here comes the point where it's getting tricky...
    When the user wants to change his assigned language (of the portal user) he can use the "personalize" button in the Masthead (-> change portal language). All the portal content should now be displayed in his new chosen language.
    For example the user is logged into the portal with "german" as portal language and now changes his languages settings into "english". After this everything in the portal (navigation, portal iViews ) is displayed in the changed language (from english into german) ...
    BUT: my Web Dynpro  Java Application stays as the original languages setting was. That means the whole portal is now english, but my WD Java Appl. stays german .
    Only if the user logs of and logs in again, the WD Java Appl. is displayed in the corresponding portal language...
    VERY Strange?!?!
    Can anybody give me a hint how to solve this problem?
    I guess i have to re-initiate the Web Dynpro  Application some how ...(like killing the application and restarting it ...) but is just a "weak guess"...
    Any Help / Hint is more than welcome !!!
    Cheers
    Stefan

    Hi Stefan,
    This correct see SAP Note [947081|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/947081]
    If the locale for the Web Dynpro iView is changed in the portal (through portal personalization), this is not reflected in the running login session. The user needs to logoff and login again, in order to see the locale change in the Web Dynpro iView.

  • Shame to remove Get Info option to change language for individual application!

    Its a shame for Apple to remove the Get Info panel option to change language for individual application! For these days I used Leopard, where I had this option, now I bought a brand new mac, for a bunch of money, with Lion, and this option had disappeared. What's that? Apple is working on making more complicated the life of their users?

    Thanks for your tip, but languageswitcher not set the language permanently just for the applications started from that application. Very inelegant and windows like way.
    I used the terminal to set the defaults for individual application, but that is step back to the age of command line.
    I spent with this problem 1 hour instead of 1 minutes.  Big step back.

  • Change language for router setup page

    Hello Lynksys im using older model and havent gotten around to buying a new wireless router, i was wondering is i do decide to get a newer model will my site be in english. currently i have the site in german and it will not for the love of my life translate to english?( i am in United States should my site be in german when i put in the default IP address?) Could this have been a problem in installment?

    Hi! There are actually two ways on how to change the language for your router. It's either thru the setup cd or going thru the link where you can change it. If you're going to use the cd, you will have to run it again and you should be presented with an option to change the language. If you don't have it anymore, you may just go to http://192.168.1.1/language.htm, it should let you change the language. Found that on this link: http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/Change-Language-Pack/td-p/3119.

  • Change language for the Caller ID announcement

    How can I change the Caller ID announcement from English to say German ?
    I have installed the German text to speech package and that works as expected for messages text to speech so one would think that can be used for the Caller ID announcement as well.
    Any thoughts, help ?
    Cheers
    chris

    Hi MC
    In the OP43 transaction (Setup group category-setup group Key SPRo ), select the setup group key for which you want the translation to be maintained, select the GOTO in the menu bar - click on the translation and select the Language for which you want to maintain the translation. Maintain your translated text here.
    The other way is to Log in in the language you want to maintain the transaltion Go to OP43 and maintain the details.
    You will have to maintain them in SPRO and the same will be reflected for the recipes in the respective login language in the master recipe.
    If the solution works for you or is helpful, give suitable points.

  • Pages 5. change languages for different paragraphs?

    In Pages '09 I could change the spell check language for different paragraphs by going to the Inspector, then "text" then "more." That appears to be gone now. Does anyone know how to do it?

    Thanks Rene! That got me thinking that I didn't test spell check with a new document (where I hadn't set the languages before). It looks like Pages 5 detects the language automatically and changes the spell-checker. Check this out:
    I pasted the first three paragraphs from wikipedia articles and then mispelled one word in each paragraph. Pages found the misspelled words but did not underline the rest.
    Then in the last two paragraphs (which I typed), you can see that "gli" was NOT underlined in the Italian sentence but WAS underlined in the English one. I guess this explains why there's no setting for it. It is automatic now.

  • Unable to change language for SAP BW Report Iview

    Dear all
    We are currently rolling out BW Web Templates can be displayed in both EN and MS languages. The language can be changed via the URL that we display, e.g.
    For English Language:
    http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=EN&cmd=ldoc&template_id=ZTEST
    For Malay Language :
    http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=7&cmd=ldoc&template_id=ZTEST
    We have published these templates into Ent. Portal 6 using SAP BW Report Iview, but unfortunately we cannot view the report in the Malay language (SAP-LANGUAGE=7), even though we have inserted the command SAP-LANGUAGE=7 in the SAP BW Report Iview query string. All the reports, although defaulted to SAP-LANGUAGE=7 displays in English. We also tried to set the language settings for the Iview, but there are no language 7 or MS in the Iview. It can only be defaulted to the Portal’s language, which is English.
    Note that the reports can be viewed in the different languages if we using the URL separately outside of Portal, and also within BW Bex Analyzer itself. Only the Portal doesn’t allow us to view the reports in MS language.
    Can someone help us on this matter? All helps really appreciated. Thanks a lot.

    Hi Chris,
    That's a bit odd indeed. If I understand your question correctly, you do get the BW reports in the correct language (either English or Malay) using the url's in your post but not when using them within a standard BW report iView?
    The language setting for the iView has, unfortunately, nothing to do with the language for the content itself but can you tell me what the requested URL is for both Reports?
    The BW Report iView is based on the Application Integration Component that generates the URL based on the paramaters you provide in the BW report iView.The following template is being used: <iView[PORTAl_URL]>?System=<System[url_Encode]>&Report=<Report>&DynamicParameter=<DynamicParameter[url_Encode]>. I could be that the generation of the URL fails due to the 7 (don't know why, just a gut feeling because it's the only thing that's different between those urls). You could try to use create an iView based on the Application Integrator instead (some more control over the URL template) but first you need to check whether the URL generated by the iView is correct.
    Cheers!

  • Acrobat Reader 11 MUI : Impossible to change Language for Final user.

    Hello,
    I need to deploy AdbeReader on several PC.
    On my enterprise, we have several language (english, french, deutch...)
    I have configure MSI package with Adbe Customization Wizard. But on this tool we cannot choose "Set the language to the OS language..." By defaut, I choose English.
    I have read on Adobe Reader document that by default, for MUI, we need to put 1 to this reg key :
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\(product)\(version)\Language\UseMUI\
    In my case, it's ok.
    But, when I install Adobe Reader with my mst file, application stay in english (even if I use a french computer).
    And, if I try to change manually the language it does'nt works. Choose at application startup does'nt too. I have never the popup to choose the language.
    Someone can help me ?
    Many thanks !

    Adobe Properties — Enterprise Administration Guide
    Language    11 & later    SUPPRESSLANGSELECTION    MUI installers only. The default of 1 does the following:
    Sets the language to the OS language for all users.
    Disables the language selection dialog on application startup for any user.
    Sets HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\(product)\(version)\Language\UseMUI\bUserMUI to 1
    This is particularly useful for multiuser installations where the language selection dialog would normally appear if a different user logs in, Citrix installations, and so on.
    A value of 0 results in the language selection dialog appearing at first launch for every newly logged in user of the machine. For Acrobat this property is not applicable. When Acrobat is installed with MUL serial number and LANG_LIST=ALL, the launch language would be the same as OS language unless a language transform is also applied.

  • Change Language for Spell Checking in Mail

    Hi,
    as far as I could see from other articles here and on other sites, there is no easy way to change the language for spell checking in Mail. It's difficult to imagine that this is true, as in this global world switching from one to another language in different mails is (at least for non-US/UK/etc. users) an immanent need.
    Thanks for letting me know if I am mistaken.

    Tom Gewecke wrote:

    If what you are asking about is some kind of shortcut to avoid using the Edit menu, you are correct that nothing like that exists for Mail (or other Apple apps). I think if you use something like SpellCatcher you can switch via a single keystroke.
    The fastest method I know of is through AppleScript. I personally use "quick and dirty" routines for shifting from French to English and vice versa, both in Mail and Safari. Your typical toggle-switch bare-bones app looks like this:
    tell application "Mail"
    tell application "System Events"
    tell application process "Mail"
    set frontmost to true
    try
    click menu item "Show Spelling and Grammar" of menu "Spelling and Grammar" of menu item "Spelling and Grammar" of menu "Edit" of menu bar 1
    set fen to window "Spelling and Grammar"
    click pop up button 1 of fen
    set lemenu to menu 1 of pop up button 1 of fen
    if selected of menu item "Français" of lemenu is true then
    click menu item "British English" of lemenu
    else
    click menu item "Français" of lemenu
    end if
    click button 1 of fen
    on error
    beep 2
    end try
    end tell
    end tell
    end tell
    Nothing fancy here! Compile it, keep it handy (in the dock for example), and a single click does the switch for you. You can make endless variations on this, even make it look kind of smart, with dialogs and all that, thus defeating the purpose.
    AppleScript support is kind of sketchy so you have to use UI programming.

  • Changing Language for BusinessObjects in general

    Hello,
    I have Swedish installed on my server but I want all the users in the system to use English. I tried to change the preferences in CMC but it still shows in Swedish.
    Does anyone of you have any idea how to change the language?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    This can be done by changing Preferred viewing locale from user preferences. This will change the language for info-view links and options.
    But if you want to change the language of universe name and universe components (names of dimension, detail, measure, class, subclass etc), then you have to create multilingual universe.

  • Change Style for text (PE12)

    When I insert a text, i can change style just one time. It is not possible to change style for other text. I must stop the program and start up for changing style at each time I request to change style.
    Solution?

    Peru Bob,
    Thank you for linking to the Muvipix thread. Not sure what happened in PrE 12, but this Styles Bug looks pretty serious, as Styles allow a user to do so much, regarding attributes for Shapes and Text.

  • Change language for content?

    Hi.
    I'm using a Front Row on my MacBook. I choosed english as my standard language for my Mac, but with a local keyboard.
    Now I would like use Front Row to choose the german language as the standard audio for DVDs and I would like to see the german Quicktime trailer and not english.
    Is there any chance to change it?
    Many thanks,
    fate

    That way you can manually delete any language file from an app.
    Select Front Row service, right click and choose Show Package Contents. Go to Contents/Resourses. Find and trash any .lproj files from that folder. Some of them have full name of language (like German.lproj), some have 2-letter abbreviation (like ru.lproj). Be sure to leave only .lproj you want to use.
    That should help you.
