I got a Sony PEG-NX80V with PalmOS 5.0 in English.

Does anybody know if I can switch to Spanish? and how?

Change the language...how? Like every single built-in application to Spanish? Feasible? Probably...Practical? No.

Assuming there is such a thing as a "Spanish ROM" or at least a multi-lingual European version, then you should be able to copy over the application files from that ROM into your RAM and it should override the default application. It also might cause a lot of conflicts with other programs in ROM or even crashes.

The other part is the IME for spanish. Or actually, since Spanish only has a few specialized characters different from English, I don't think this would be too difficult. Just search around the forums for how to input tildas, accents, question marks, etc. You should be able to come up with something...

Good luck

Depends the version of your clie,

natively if you have a latinamerican clie, bought in any latino country, it has spanish files, and if your hard reset it, on the first-time configuration you could choose the language, and your clie should have the spanish as an option.

If you have a US version, as mine, then you have no other things to chose.

And the other option is what Otakud said, overwriting the whole rom.

This might not be at all what you are looking for, however I have demoed the Russian version and thought it was pretty slick.

What I want to see in Spanish is particularly the name of the months and days of the week. Although you gave me some clues, I found another solution in Agendus, which has a Spanish version.

Anyway, many thanks all of you.
