None of the existing patches in this thread can help with that.

The basic problems are that Vietnamese is not one of the languages officially supported by the device UI; and the UI only uses the built-in fonts, none of which fully support Vietnamese; and the built-in fonts are encrypted so we can't change them.

Some languages that are not officially supported such as Russian, Hebrew, Arabic still display the book titles correctly in those languages, but I think that is because there is support for those languages in some of the built-in fonts. I don't know if anyone has worked out how to make the UI use a sideloaded font yet.

However I know little about the dictionaries, I only read in English and hardly use them, so maybe someone else who knows more will have some ideas on how to do it.

Edit: I see you posted in the Modifications for bad eyes thread too. Do as tshering suggests -- make sure you have Vietnamese fonts sideloaded and working correctly -- you might find that some things will work without any patching needed.
