Help .. i've lost my language after updating my N97

Hi every body...

Today i've updated my NOKIA N97 to V2.0 i think "any way its the latest one :smileyhappy:"

But now i cant write in any language but English ... is ther's any language pack to download for my device?

Im in the Middle East so i'll need Arabic Language.

I hope to get support

Regards

Re: Help .. i've lost my language after updating my N97

Looks like your phone was not meant for the Middle Eastern market. The dealer brought it in from somewhere else and then installed a language pack which contains Arabic. When you updates the firmware, the phone reverted back to its original language. The dealer should have informed you of this because apart from languages, the warranty on the phone is only valid in the region/country it is meant for and hence the warranty is probably not valid in your country.

 

Anyway, language packs can opnly be installed by Nokia Care Points.

I suspect cjlim was right on the money there. This article maybe goes into a little more detail about why this has happened and who is responsible:

Re: Help .. i've lost my language after updating my N97

Thanks for the fast reply

But, i've updated my device before and it updated perfectly.

This time i update the device using OVI suite wich i download from the internet, do you think that my downloaded OVI is not supporting the Arabic language?

And if so, how can i undo the update if possible?

Re: Help .. i've lost my language after updating my N97

It is not possible for you to roll back a firmware update yourself. It can only be done by a Nokia Care Point without voiding your warranty. Contact your local Nokia Care Point to wee what they can do for you.

"W" is just above "S" on the keyboard, so only 5 pints. :smileyhappy:

Re: Help .. i've lost my language after updating my N97

LOL, Don't worry too much about it. It was just a joke between us. He was implying me typing the word "wee" instead of "see" is very apt because you will need to wee after drinking the black stuff (Guinness - my favourite drink). :smileyhappy:

 

I was just explaining back the word "wee" was more a typo because "w" is just next to "s" and typing gets difficult after 5 pints of Guinness
