I've got a 5800XM, how would I install Korean on it, so I can view Korean and type in it?
 
It would need to have new firmware flashed to it and this is not something the average end-user will have equipment to do!

Most independent dealers with a service department will be able to do it for a fee...

This assumes that a Korean language pack is available for the 5800xm, Chinese is...

Would have to disagree with you there bud. As far as I know to change the language pack simply use NSS to change the productcode to the APAC one that contains Korean and use Nokia Software Updater to update the firmware. There is also the ability to install different fonts just Google it.
 
Not that knowledgable about other languages characters, but it's fairly something easy to do.
And yeah, I change my fonts from time to time, Nokia supports .ttf. I currently have QuigleyWiggly, you can custom set everything to display on that font. Like now, on my OM, it ignores sites font.

Yes! I've seen the results! Several bricked phones!

This method works most of the time, it is however NOT for the novice...

Technically speaking if you change the product code the device is no longer ICASA approved!
 
It is relatively easy to unbrick a bricked phone is it not? Think I changed mine to Europe to get the latest firmware..
Anyways, doing this for my dad, its his first smartphone so the guy would be clueless with English.

Thanks guys... So change to Korean region, then update?

If you loose your certificate files, then it'll be forever bricked!

You need to ensure that if you change from a European version, that the Korean version is the same or higher! A downgrade will kill the phone!!

I would strongly recommend having a dealer do the job...
