Why has my device changed language after updating?
After an update, your Nokia device may restart in its native language. To change the language go to Settings > Phone > General > Phone language.
If your Nokia device was originally manufactured for use in another country or region, using Nokia Software Updater may revert the set of available device languages to the original language set.
If your preferred language is no longer available after using Nokia Software Updater, you may need to return your Nokia device to a Nokia Care point to have this language reinstated.
I'm from Italy and this is the first time that I write on a forum loke this from Nokia.
Well , today i have done the upgrade for my nokia n95-1 with the nokia updater.
Surprise my phone has changed country! Now it can speak almost all languages of the world, but... but not Italian!
goobye T9, bye bye italian menu and bye to the others things WRITTEN IN ITALY.
My mind said me "Stupid you have done something worng during the upgrade!" but.... but what I'v done It was OK.
Now there's the surprise I've to go to Nokia Point to set the right language on my phone, but... but surely
I'VE TO PAY THIS FUNNY WORK!
Dear Nokia , after 10 (TEN !!!!! ) phones from your brand, You have lost a buyer.
thanks a lot.
Sorry for my bad english, but You can understand that I prefer ITALIAN LANGUAGE

You, unfortunately, happened to buy a device that was originally manufactured for some other country/region.
Then some importer or reseller (most probably not a legitimate importer, because they'd ordered that was intended for Italy, and not for some other country) decided to buy them anyway.
Then that illegitimate importer had the phone flashed with Italian firmware, but did a bad job (or didn't know what they were doing).
After that, they sold it to you.
Now, as you used the Nokia Software Updater (NSU) to upgrade the firmware, and because the illegitimate importer did a bad job, the NSU software looked up the product code on the phone, which identifies the firmware language version that should be on the phone.
After that, NSU retrieved the latest version of the firmware that was put on the phone originally at the factory (which is different than what your illegitimate importer/retailer put on it) and updated the phone with that.
Next time, if you buy a Nokia phone again, buy it from a legitimate/authorized retailer.
You can also go to the illegitimate retailer and ask them to give you a unit that was originally intended and manufactured for Italy.

considering the number of languages available in the world, i believe nokia has decided to include commonly used languages for a particular region rather than including them all in order to free up memory on the phone.
if u had purchased a phone that wasnt manufactured for that particular region, then when updating the phone, u will receive the language options for that region which might or might not include ur preferred language
