Hi,
is it possible to REALLY and COMPLETELY change the system language of
the iPhone 3G? I. e. if I take a german iPhone and switch it to English,
most apps (Safari, Mail, etc.) are in English, but the alarm clock is
still called "Wecker".
By the way: If you go to system settings and switch the language on a
"real" Mac (i. e. MacBook), it only affects the system settings window
itself. Safari remains in the original language.
Back to the iPhone: What do I have to do to switch the language 100%? Is
it necessary to flash the ROM with the respective language? If so, is it
possible to flash an english image on a german iPhone (bought in Germany
and bound by netlock to a german network operator) or is this measure
prohibited anyhow by Apple or by the network operator?TIA,

Did you try a reboot?

Yes, but no difference. Before and after reboot, alarm clock is still
"Wecker". But not in the main window, only if you open the application.Greets,

Yes, you're right. Thank you. After reboot, all apps were in English.
Since I don't have a Mac (yet), I can only "play around" for a few
minutes on my colleague's MacBook.
As a MSWindows user I should have known better myself, a reboot is
always helpful. :-) I was irritated by the fact that the system settings
window changed the language immediately, without reboot.Greets,

change its language. Actually you can have a dozen apps running each
using a different language - just change the language then launch the
first app, change again and launch the next app...Try this with windoze...
