No, the language is in ROM and you cannot change this.

Thanks for the promt reply.

Could you kindly suggest me what are the options I have in this case?

Do i have to install a fresh copy of windows mobile English language?

I'm afraid unless you want to live with German your only other option is to buy an English langauge PDA. The OS is in ROM and cannot be bought like a PC OS can, it is manufacturer specific and cannot be bought seperately.

Is it possible to get a ROM upgrade (or even downgrade) in a different language? I've never looked so I don't know if it's possible but it's just a thought.

Only in a very few cases has this been possible and even then only when someone has hacked a ROM upgrade. Units such as the XDA had such ROMs available but they required some technical knowledge and if the upgrade failed your PDA was rendered dead.

As they have a language check a standard ROM for a different langauge will not install. I have checked and can find nothing for the Mio168.
