Will multiple languages be supported by iPhone? - iPhone 3G

2russky · 06-26-2007, 06:07 PM

I occasionally use my current PDA to send SMS and Email messages to my friends and relatives in Russia in Russian language. For that I use separately purchased software on my Windows Mobile PDA and build-in foreign language support of Symbian OS on my Sony Ericsson P990.
I'm planning to completely switch to iPhone once I get it.
I'm wondering if iPhone will support multiple languages for messaging, I wasn't able to find any info about that on Apple web site.
Thank you, any info will be greately appretiated.

Don't think there's any news on this one. I'm in the same boat. My wife is Chinese and prefers to have Chinese on her phone and computer.

I would guess yes. Don't know about chinese, but I would think at least English, Spanish, and Canadian French.

Well, if the OS really is OSX then it should have tons of languages, including Chinese (traditional and simplified). But I've just yet to see anything confirming this.

You're probably right. It can't take up much space to have alternative languages available.

Heh have you ever seen the OSX program Monolingual? It removes all the additional languages from your OSX install, and when all said and done it usually ends up saving me over 2GB of space, so they do add up quite a bit.
