Hello,
I am an American in China and I purchased an N95. The phone comes with English, Chinese, and Cantonese languages.
I want to upgrade my firmware but I am afraid that it will wipe out the multi languages on the phone. (I don't speak Chinese well but I still need it for text messaging and I don't think the Chinese Nokia site has an upgrade anyways).
Can anyone confirm if the languages are wiped out or not from a firmware upgrade?
Thanks in advance

When you don't change the product-code of your N95, you'll get the same languages after the update on your N95 . . . 😉
If you do an upgrade using the Nokia Software updater you will get the exact same language pack that came with the phone.
Updated mine a few days ago and the language option is still the same... so no worries...
Well the poster that said if you don't change your product code was incorrect.
I didn't change my product code but I used the english version of the updated (because my chinese isn't good).
However, it updated my phone to the Euro version which wiped out chinese.
Got someone to help me and I'm updating again using the chinese updater. Fortunately, the euro version didn't update me past the current chinese version.
On a side note, is there a way to install a new firmware and then install language packs?
that way I could get to the newest version and still have chinese.

You can add a bit of font support .. but certainly no Nokia IME (there are some 3rd party apps though)..
You'll need an IME for asian or multibyte languages. So pretty much you're stuck with picking the right product code, or finding and figuring out how to install a 3rd party application.
Good Luck!😊
Even doing an update from the Chinese website resulted in still no Chinese font.
Anyone have any ideas?

You have to use either the Hong Kong product codes or find some for mainland China. The website you use is not even remotely relevant, the product code is what tells the NSU to send you the correct languages and customizations from anywhere in the world.
