The only way to change language without loss of data is to flash what's called a SFA (signed file archive) to the phone, instead of total RawFS. Sadly there are not many SFA files available.

The problem is the SFA files have to match the version of the FW in the phone, so you can't use an old one.

Pretty much at the moment you have to tell your customers if they want language change then they must loose all data in their phone. I suggest to my (smarter) customers to use FMA to backup their phones (http://fma.sf.net)
