just click this linkand for instructions How to install a different language ROM in you PDA
iPAQ 3900 series..
1.- Download the last ROM update for iPAQ 3900 series.
2.- Using Winzip, unpack the ROM update file.
3.- Run the program update utility until it asks to push the upgrade button.
4.- Without leaving the utility, open the .NBF file extracted from iPAQ update.
    for 3975 English series is: NK_Windsor21010WWE.nbf
    for 3970 Spanish series is: NK_Wisr210_14_ESP_BT.nbf
    for 3955 English series is: NK_Windsor11010WWE.nbf
    for 3950 Spanish series is: NK_Wisr111_01ESP_NBT.nbf
5.- Hex edit that file and you will find something like:
For 3975 English series.-
iPAQ 3900-WBT-ENG-2.10-2CF4...
For 3955 English series.-
iPAQ 3900-NBT-ENG-1.10-9673...
6.- Replace "ENG" with your current country code ("SPA" for Spanish, "FRE" for French, "GER" for German...).
7.- Replace the hex checksum value for the correct country checksum (see tables below).

=================
you can switch the language. But it is not easy. Especially with the new
iPAQs it is hard to do, because HP did lock the previous possible ways of
doing that. I have never done this but all I know is that you have to
download the ROM update from HP website, use hex editor to alter some data
in the ROM file so that the loading software thinks that it is the proper
file for your original PDA language. Probably you have to find and change a
string which equals to the language name. If your iPAQ has for example
french ROM, you have to download english ROM from HP website and then change
the ROM ID to french one.
