Can I change the language of Windows Mobile 6.0?

I purchased an LG KS20 from Poland - and so the language is set to Polish -
do I have to purchase Windows Mobile 6.0 in English or can i simply change
the language from Polish to English somewhere...?
Or is there anywhere where I can get hold of a version in English and flash
my phone and install the English version.

Unless you manage to get an English ROM from your device reseller,
there is no way to change the language. Windows Mobile OS is not
available for purchase as its desktop counterpart.

It's a shame that Microsoft do not offer a language pack, maybe it's a
thought for the future. As this will stop people from flashing their phones
and installing an illegal English ROM onto their phones!!!
