My PDA version is CXC162001 R2B03
I was also searching for the language file for R2B. What I did was the following:

1. I downloaded the language file for R2A
2. I renamed it from Greek_cxc162001R2A.sis to Greek_cxc162001 R2B03.sis
3. I put it in folder C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Mobile\Phone Languages
4. I installed the language
5. Voilą! A perfectly working Greek interface was there!

Some notes:
- I did a full backup before experimenting.
- I assumed that no changes were made in the interface from R2A to R2B which seems to be the case so the language files should be similar.
- I applied that even after an internal hard disk format without any trouble.
- I tested the installation of the language file after choosing some other language (English) in Control Panel. Otherwise the installation stops at a certain point. This is due to the fact that you are trying to overwrite the same language!
- I suppose this will work for any other language: please try it at your own risk taking all the necessary precautions.

I've successfully ported the P802/P800c (R2A) Chinese Language pack into my English version of P800 (R2B), as you've mentioned, the R2A's RSC file is quite similar to R2B's RSC file (I've compared their size, no big different).

the way I use is simply install R2A American Language pack (without rename it), and rename all the RSC file supplied from P802/P800c to R10, then copy into P800 and overwrite the american language files (*.r10).
