well now this one doesnt have japanese language support i just took it for granted since the pw has it..

is there any way i can get the devicelanguage to japanese? and add japanese dictionaries?

i found some post about extracting the sw from PW and uppdate the kindle with but that was for the touch version i belive...

I got sw 4.1.1.

Thanks in advance!
First thing, the non touch is NOT a fifth gen. Its a 4th gen. The fifth gen are PW1+2 and
KT. Also, unless you are familiar with the process of translating java strings from obfuscated classes and are comfortable aboot putting hours of effort into something that can be blown to bits by an update, you really have no choice but the PW (Touch doesn't have any Japanese, afaik). You could (if I remember correctly) hack the PW into switching off the light.
