Well I suppose you could try the Rom upgrade from HP which replaces the entire rom.

Here is the update

Just pick your language from the dropdown list. And follow the instructions carefully remembering to backup your stuff.

Try at your own risk!!

You are aware of the fact that this is an illegal activity since the OS language is included on the license (changing the language means that you DON'T have a license for the OS).

And, as far as I know, no one has successfully (at least lately) replaced the ROM on their device with one of a different language. It's either just plain not worked, or it's messed up the device.

PS - Please don't type in all caps. Thanks!

IF ITS SO DIFFICULT TO CHANGE MY WM2003 LANGUANGE I THINK I LL KEEP THE ENGLISH ONE CAUSE I KNOW A LITTLE ENGLISH AND I THINK THAT THE MOST INPORTANT SOFTWARES FOR POCKET OR PALM ARE IN ENGLISH.

THANKS TO ALL FOR ADVICE :|
