Hello!
I started this thread in order to put all valuable information about language packs in here.
Here is also an answer from Ltd.Cmd.Ivan:
Lt.Cmdr.Ivan said:
Yes it is a option.
Unfortunately i do not have the resource files for different languages. But there are some people who asked how to do this. ATM i do not remember who. Perhaps you and the people who asked can start a team who makes the necessary changes to have a german language pack. If you manage to get it as an addon option, it would be very easy to make the translations for other languages too. Someone already did this (i think it was at buzzdev.net) for the aku2 roms. Perhaps you can find that project and show me where to download it, including the complete stuff. Maybe it is small enough to integrate 2 or 3 different languages in a rom, and choose after startup which one to use.
Before this can be done it has to be tested (This is your chance ) , if it is completely functioning with the aku3.2 stuff.

Hi!
As far as I know, the AKU3.2 Rom has language packs included or can have it included, which can be chosen at first startup. Your Rom did not have this.
Is there any possiblity that your Rom can have german language included?
If you need somebody to test Rom with language packs I would love to.

As far as I know, language packs from microsoft are preloaded into RAM (or ROM?) and can be chosen on initial start. After choosing right language pack, it is applied to the ROM and all packs are erased.
so we have 2 possibilities:
1. make our own translations
2. try to save the language packs from microsoft
as for number 1 we need to know, how a language pack is packaged - at least Buzz should know this, as Buzz already offers some language Packs for AKU2 on his website
as for number 2 we need some method to save the language packs from deletion so we can transfer them from the pocketpc.
any other ideas?
If I could get my hands on a new device with the language packs already on it (new AKU 3.2 device that has not been used yet), I could figure a way to extract them. The problem is that I am not aware of any devices with AKU 3.2 and the language packs that are available for sale.
Are there any devices being sold with these features yet?
-Jwrightmcps
I think, there are no AKU3.2 devices available yet. I assume Microsoft is shipping AKU3.2 installation packs to developers or cell phone network to make their customizations.
And that is a way how Ivan and others got AKU3.2: just somebody working for a developer or cell phone network made a copy of this or similar. Is that right, what I think?
Or some simply get their hands on a device prototype
This is how I got my copy of AKU 3.2 (from HTC HERMES) but it did not have any language packs other than English...
I am also connected in the industry (state-side) and have heard nothing about the shipping of any AKU 3.2 language packs (OEM or Operators) yet
-Jwrightmcps
it would be nice
it would be very nice to have the Arabic language not as a third party sw

Hmmm, that means either we must wait for availability or we make our own language packs.
Translations should not be a problem but the tricky part is the packaging into an installable. I wonder how microsoft wants to make an installed language pack to be permanent even after hard reset...
do a web search for 'Lang_v2.zip" this is a fairly complete guide for translating language files in WM5. It also has a direct german to english example. Also, if you aren't using Bepe's kitchen, you should. I recently tried to translate a chinese AKU 3.2 to english, it was build 15633, and the next closest english ROM I had to compare to was build 15603. It came out fairly well, though i couldn't change the keypad. it had no msim, but did have an sskim file. Also, use the DSMtool by bepe, this saves so much time in packaging files.

Greek language
Does anyone knows how to unlock an existing rom in order to use it i have greek Wizard Vodafone V1640 and Qtek Hellas Does not support it either Vodafone Greece. I have downloaded the latest firmware but it is locked. i just need to get the greek keyboard and language for my contacts is this possible
Excellent, i found the guide and will have a look at it as soon as possible.

It should write a file (Windows\test) and a registry entry ([HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Test]"by"="bepe") to the rom.
This changes would also exists after a hard reset.
but, the package is not working yet, cos of signing... (I managed to get it working on my device, but thats all)
I think this is the way MS will distribute the updates....

Hello,
does a Rome or a Upgrade for the “universal” exist with Russian system?
If, where I can find it?

You'd better use english ROM and localize only the keyboard with LEng or some other tool.

Seems you are new here , dont know who is Mamaich , better look what his post and how he help people in here , maybe you had no ideal how made AKU3.2 rom ,and why everyone made any rom always said thanks Mamaich,I think you better said sorry to him,they are no any RUS rom for Uni in the world but I knew Mamaich can make it , but why he said sucks ? I tell you why because cant find VGA RUS mui special in some of program , if you can find it than said sucks for him or me otherwide sucks is you AXP understand.
PS.Mamaich lived in RUS
Russian interface sucks for 4 reasons.
1. Awful translation. Sometimes you need to translate a phrase back to English just to understand what it should mean. I call it "русЕфЕкация".
2. Localized interfaces look ugly - lines don't fit dialogs, font problems, etc.
3. Localized ROMs appear later than english, so you have to use obsolete OSes.
4. Localizations are made by Quarta and similar companies who do them via reverse engineering ROMs (extracting & translating resources, patching hardcoded strings, editing registry etc - I know what I'm talking about). In most cases this is done incorrectly, and such ROMs are unstable.
The best thing you can do - is to localize only the on-screen/hardware keyboard and select Russian regional settings. In this case you'll get a stable OS and an ability to use Russian.
Attached one screenshot (this is a russian version of Windows desktop search downloaded from microsoft site).
But there are already many ROMs have Chinese interface.The mui files and some dll files were all translated into Chinese.
However,I still love the English interface.What I did was only to replace wince.nls with a Chinese one, remove all the English inputs and SmartDialer,and replace the ttf file with Chinese file,also edit registry.Without mamaich,we can never do this.

Probably, I should apologize. My English not so is good, and I have understood a phrase literally - that Russia (instead of the Russian interface) - sucks. With your statements I absolutely agree. Itself and I do.

Is it possible new uploading? Thanks.

Thanks a lot.
Happy new year.
Greets Daniel.
I think everything is OK right now. Russian fonts are already present in every ROM - either Helmi's or Ivan's or Jwrightmcps's. And there are a lot of russian keyboards to choose from. So everyone can use Mobile Word or smth to edit russian docs.
And it's not too difficult to remember some menu items in English even if the user doesn't know English.
And, sure, OS developers can not make english applications to run in russian.
So I don't see a problem.
Hi, all guys,
I have checked this site for a long time to find a Simplified Chinese version ROM. But I'm disppointed every time I logged in.
Is there any one have same idea with me? Same wish for a Simplified Chinese version ROM as me?
Is there any one have done that or work on this? Oh is there any one can provide the procedure and material dumps for this project?
Regards
Frank Bing
I'd like 2 help.
as i know, the only thing we need 2 do is adding mui files into the current rom. then we have it!
but english rom runs faster, so install CE-Star on your device will be a better idea.

Pure Chinese
Basically I agree with you! But when you want to do it you may met lots of problems.
The big challenges is you have to find all the files related with Chinese, include so files support IMEs and also some registries.
And the problem with CE-star is you can not search you contact list by Pingyin sequential. And also CE-start does not suport Pen, Brush Pen stensil.
Anyway thanks. If I have time and don't care about cost, I should do it myself. And the file list which support SC can be get by compare the dump of SC and TC of other models of HTC phone like dopod830 or cht9000.
Regards
Frank Bing
hi there
if u wanna search your contact list by chinese, check this out.
PS: after install the pocketcm, place lang.ini in the same directory. run pocketcm, then u will find everything in chinese.
After installed YaHei cab, the system displays Chinese very well.
But in the regional settings, there is no such choise for Chinese. Besides, in the IE, there is no Chinese encoding, so the chinese words cann't be read in IE.
What I want is the English interface + Chinese support, so if the problems i mentioned above can be solved, it will be great to me.
Notice: for trinity all the cooked wm6 rom only!!!!!Simplfied Chinese.
this cab will install a font and a wince.nls file, which makes your chinese contact index in ABC and regional settings including P.R.China. that means you can view chinese website.
the wince.nls is special, only works with hermes and trinity wm6, if you install it into other mobile handset, not too bad but the live messenger will fail.
i made it by myself,and i am sure it will working great.
sorry i have trouble uploading files. it is smaller then limitation,but
Chinese_Plus_P3600.zip:
Upload of file failed.
everytime.

My Phone Infor and Problem with network wizard
Trinity Dopod 810 Hongkong WM5 Traditional Chinese with CEstar.
And every time I reset the phone, I got an error message: system does not support your current service provider(46000), you have get update information from device manufacturer. Do you want to select other service provider?
The message is in TC which I translate into English? and 46000 is stand for China Mobile. When I try to select, I can not find the it in the standard list.
Anyway, The phone can be used. But I feel uncomfortable with this non-sense error message.
Is there any way which I can add that record in?

Hi, i'm looking for a new rom which support chinese applications. The one i'm the currently using does the job, but its pretty old now. (i'm not using LVSW now)
I am using Hypercore 3.62 - Final, and plug in the chinese inputs, fonts, etc. myself instead of CE-star or monster. The result is pretty fast and stable.
Follow this link for adding chinese support to Eng. ROM. It's in trad. Chinese.

but you still can't read chinese text(*.txt), Can you? To do that, you have to change the setting in Regional Settings at first. But I can't find any options for PRC or Taiwan or HongKong there.
The methode may not be usefull for the products sold outside asia.

I can view, edit Chinese! The regional settings can be set to HK, China, Macau, Taiwan, etc. after you follow the steps in the link in post #2. (see screen shots below). The regional settings comes with the ROM you flashed, and it has nothing to do with where you bought it. (Of course I am not talking about official rom from carriers)
PS - You have to solve the line break problem in displaying chinese text by changing the registry. Find the key called "SystemLCID", change the value from 409 to 404 and do a soft reset, all chinese are displayed properly with line breaks.
Could i ask a question?
how can i do to display Simplified -Chinese well?... use some add-ons? where can i get it?

My chinese patched ROM can display simplified chinese as well. But you you need to install a suitable simplify chinese IME to type sc characters.

Hi,
I struggled for a long time to get a stable simplified Chinese writing and display system. What seems to work very well for me is ANY of Schaps' ROM, I have been using them since 3.54 and Leies CE-star cabs. I just install the font cab, pinyin cab, and handwriting cab for simplified and it works really well. I am not a huge fan of CE Star, the chinese IME for motorola e680i (my old phone) was much better, but this is the best I've found for WM6 so far. PM me if you can't find the cabs.
link is already dead!
Is there going to be any new English roms with Touch FLO CUBE, as the Predecessor Model M600 can have this feature (even the charmer (compact 2)) we have a m700, i dont mean flash version, i mean integrated, the french seem to have done it, i've been trying my best to convert all the reg and files in this french rom but it is hard as i dont speak french and words in the reg in french like Alimentation = Food in google translate?? now, i cant remember seeing an option in control panel by the name of FOOD!! any info would be appreciated.

Hi vistar,
if the rom can be repackaged, meaning that bepe's or ervius' packagetools can repackage the rom into the sys- and oem-folders, you don't have to translate the majority of the files. The packages have folders with the language-dependent muis, and these are interchangeable with those from a different language. If you exchange the french languagefolders with those for _0409_xxx, a very big part of the work is done.
However, why don't you use Schaps' rom? It's available in WWE, and the installation of one of the cubes after flashing is not that much work.
Have fun!
Thanks Both, I will try Schaps' rom, hopefully it will work with the vista Cube, that looks amazing. As for the language change, i had the idea you had to change all 040C.MUI (french) Folders to 0409.MUI also all the enclosed Files (.txt and 04C.MUI). after i spent some time changing 3 files per 04C folder i found. i though you had to change all french words in the reg. HV files. then the Flash file last. This was my first time tho, gimme some credit for at least (hopefully) heading the right way for a noob.
Thanks Anyway.
I'm currently running Macadam 1.2, simply because it seems to be one of the few WWE roms around that has the "complete" eT9 and Keyboard collection (personally I want WWE because of the block recognizer, but I still want Norwegian eT9 and phone keypad, for when I'm not using the stylus).
However, my brief exposure to 6.5 (bsb) left me wanting more of that. 6.5 is simply faster and better looking, TF3D or not. The problem is that since ezinput was cooked in with only US keyboards, it cannot be simply updated with additional keyboards/eT9. It simply doesn't work.
So, this has sent me trawling through the threads here looking for a 6.5 build that either allows me to install keyboards/wordlists, or has what I need preinstalled. Only rom I've found so far to be close to pre-made for my taste, is 6.1-based (macadam).
Any of you seen any better solution?
//Svein
I do not fully understand your question, but I also tested bsb 6.5 Rom...
Now I have udk's 6.5 Rom and there are additional T9 languages included.
So "udK_Syrius_WM6.5_BETA2_WWE" contains the additional languages.
Ok, I'll try that.
Thanks for the help!
//Svein
Alas, the udK rom only contains the English, French, German, Greek, Italian and Spanish languages. So, close but no cigar.
//Svein
You're right! I'm sorry about this...
But when udk includes this additional languages it might be possible to install other languages or?
if i remember well i just deleted the language files so you just need to add the corresponding language file (.lbd) you want to \windows folder.
I upload you the ones that are inclued with the original 2.03 rom.
If you try, tell me if it works please

You remembered incorrectly.
(The files were already present)
However, enabling them in the registry (the keys were missing), and then selecting the correct language to type SMSes in, simply made the phone refuse to allow any input at all, so it seems something more is missing. Maybe it's just that something needs enabling, but I'm fumbling blindfolded here.

Let me know when you figure this out, Svein!
