I bought a IPAQ 5555 from a person that said 'all you have to do it contact HP to change the language to english' Yah I was had. If Icould, would changing to linux change the OS to english?
lol, no, HP won't help with such a thing. that person didn't know that?
but you CAN do it. if you don't mind the above statement
no need for linux, nope. get the english rom image
(either some rom update which replaces the whole rom, downloadable from hp.com usually - or.. well.. other methods
), and search for the trick how to cheat the HP rom updater since by default it won't allow you to reflash the rom with a different language
(how stupid really!
).
there's such a trick, i can assure you but can't remember it now. if it is the same as with the hp1940 that's relatively easy.
(possibly it is the same - then be careful about the timing of the steps!
)
so.. do your homework with google.
oh and it is not a PPC forum. all i know is from friends who have done such things with their PPC's. hope the above helped, but we probably can't help more here.
