Help with Language... - Touch HD Themes and Apps

Hi guys, I have a touch HD in English. However im currently in china and would need to have it read chinese characters.. Does any one know how to make it recognize the chinese characters?
THanks!

A good programme I've used for a long time is CE-Star from Mobem Technologies (http://www.mobem.com/products/CE-Star.php). It will enable the display of Chinese characters on Windows devices and also give you the ability to write in Chinese via pinyin or hand writing recognition.
Not sure of a freeware solution or alternative methods.
One point to note if installing CE-Star is that it may automatically adjust your regional settings to the PRC. This will make some programmes change their menus into Chinese (e.g. Google Maps). If this happens just change the regional setting back to an English based country setting and Google Maps, for example, will change back to English.

[cab file] WM6 Simplified Chinese patch for Hermes

Original released at PDAFans (http://bbs.pdafans.com/thread-333961-1-1.html) by 午木.
Keyboard layout is following Japanese model X01ht, so I guess for other models you will have to manually fix the registry. Not sure how to do that though.
Internet and MMS configuration for China Mobile are added, can be removed manually. In fact I had them removed as I am living overseas and only need my Hermes to display Chinese properly.
There is no Chinese input included in this software.
Been using it with both XDA Live and Black Edition, works fine for both.
Good jobs mates,
Do you have Big5 one?

Not at this moment, you may want to try some Taiwan PDA forums for that.
The majority at PDAFans are from the Mainland. Hence what ever you get there are most probably in Simplified Chinese.
Alternatively you can always use the latest WM5 firmware released in Taiwan which is in Traditional Chinese, it includes Taiwan style Chinese inputs as well, of which I don't really like.

I cooked myself a rom that has CE-Star (Big5 displaying, PinYin input, Hand Writing input and Cantonese Input)...works pretty well...except one little bug I still need to figure out was the hand writing input part..can't do full screen, but hand writing in a "box" type has no problems.
This is the registry key that needs to be changed for those with different keyboard layouts:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty
There is a key 'Layout' (in DWORD, hexadecimal) that needs to be changed to one of the following:
For default English layout: 20409 (132105 decimal),
Chinese layout: 20404 (132100 in decimal),
German layout: 20407 (132103 in decimal)
Thanks for an efficient way how to show Chinese characters
After I installed this font in softbank x01ht. the japanese input can not work. I thought there may be some problem with keyboard setting, I changed HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty to 197649(japanese keyboard setting), however it does not work!
Chinese Display Problem
Hi Guys,
After i installed either the CE-Star or the Chinese Font Support Cab on WM6 English Ver, the Chinese character both looks very light and small (in contacts, words, dictionary software, etc). It really does not look good compare to my previous WM5 + CE-Star which is not installed by myself. It looked very clear, solid and smooth.
Anyone knows how to fix this problem?
Thanks a lot.
Just disable ClearType. may get better.
VOW, It really works!

I'm having an interesting problem. As soon as I install the cab that holds the actual Chinese character support (at least, I think that's what it holds) calles ChineseSG.cab I do indeed get chinese characters on my WM6 Artemis. However, this install completely disables my ability to read and write text, email and mms messages. When I try to read or write a message the screen just becomes white and un-editable. Anyone else got this problem and might be able to help me fix it?
-edit-
I tried the other package, the one that started this thread Chinese.Support.Song.cab and it gives me the some problems. In message overviews of for instance my inbox I can see the content of text messages, both Latin and Chinese characters, however as soon as I open a message to read it or write a new one the screen is just empty. I have the buttons at the bottom, but no text appears.

Yes you are right. After installed the Chinese.Support.Song.cab into WM6.1
The sms will not run or displayed properly. I do have the same problem. If you uninstall the Chinese.Support.Song.cab again. The problem still remained the same. Unless you do a hard reset. However, after the hard reset I installed CE- star have no conflict with WM6.1. The sms work perfectly and I can read chinese even in Window Media Player or Audio Manager.
Oh Ya. Try SMS Delivery FIX by Saman It's work after you activated the setting. All the message can be see.
Hi,
I installed your chinese font to my ipac 100. However my keyboard backspace and left right arrows don't work any more.

I uninstall the cab file, but those functions are still messed up.
Thanks

Can someone help me out on installing just a Chinese font on my HTC At&t tilt? Lets pretend I am a complete idiot and know nothing. I just need to be able to see Chinese fonts when they come in on text messages so someone can translate them for me.

English version sales in HK

The English version sales in Hong Kong this time has multiple language input method. All UI is in English but on the keyboard there is a key for user to switch between Chinese & English input method. The English fonts is standard Tahoma but the Chinese fonts is AR HeiU20 Medium (grey) which is very ugly. I suggest any user change the Chinese Fonts and I found that SC_Song is the best.
Moved Post To General Forum.
Especially with the title i can't directly see if it needs to be in Rom Development?

I think the default Chinese font is fine.
But if you want some Chinese fonts, contace me, I can send you some since I'm using Chinese Vista plus English MUI.
To change the font, just put the font in "\Windows" and make some changes in "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink"

Hey, I like how HTC applied new chinese input methods for english systems. But they didn't provide any transcribe method. Any good software suggestions? Will CE-Star conflict with the new input methods? Thanks for any help!

Did you mean Chinese hand-writing IME ?
Though I rarely use, but I‘ve got some, like 漢王手寫(HangWang Hand-writing), 三星手寫(SAMSUNG), 蒙恬手写(PenPower), etc..
of course when you search for these IMEs, you'd better Google them with Chinese keywords or it will return less results.
BTW: In fact, I'm now using the Chinese font in official Diamond ROM on my Pro2. It's better than the default Chinese font.

Hey, thanks! Nice to talk to members with the same backgrounds. He he he... Your information is very useful.
What's the difference in the fonts? Is the Diamond one better? any screen dumps?
Did you guys get a CE-Star install CD with your English version TP2?
hi, Singaporean Chinese here. We have the A4 chinese input method installed by default on the Rhodium. Noticed that I cannot input 'PinYin' using the hardware Qwerty keyboard and have to use the touchscreen kb.
How about HKG? Do you have the same software? If yes, is this a software limitation?

Nope, didn't get the CS-Star CD. Because you are able to use the keyboard to input chinese words.
You have 4 options:
1. ZhuYin
2. PinYin
3. CangJie
4.Stroke
I don't know why they didn't provide a transcribe version, so I can just write on the screen. I am no good with the keyboard.
I want to install CE-Star but don't know if it will conflict with current Chinese inputting methods.

Try installing CE-Star v2.8 R3c.
From what I read previously, Diamond2 was bundled with CE-Star despite having Chinese support, but I don't know anyone with one in person to confirm this.

typing Chinese in WWE Roms?

Hi all, I've been digging in xda-developers for some time for a software to input Chinese characters, let it be in SMS, or even composing emails in WWE rom.
So far I learned that Droid can only read but cannot write.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469199 this link here is either dead or no people know the answer.
I even tried the msjh.cab but I don't know how to input in sms.
So I brought this here, maybe anyone can show me something?
do you want to input Chinese by pinyin or strike? also, do you want to input simplified or complicated Chinese? I have a few software like A4, PlumSIP6_1008 for you which are for Chinese simplied.
finally there's reply
I need pinyin simplified input. But so far I haven't see anything that can input Chinese Characters in eg SMS.

is it? I tried HelloNasty's rom before. But XannyTech still the best (personal opinion). Anyway, is there any other ways?
Chinese Input
You should try - CE-Star Standard for WM5/WM6
http://www.mobem.com/products/Personal.php
Various versions available, which include Pinyin, Stroke, Handwriting recognition (which I bought, but don't use).
Has worked perfectly on WM6.1 and WM6.5 Xannytech ROM.
Switching between WM6.5 keyboard and the CE-Star keyboard is a little slow, but works well. Also toggle between CE-Star English mode and pinyin mode sometimes a little irritating. Suggest that once Pinyin Mode is working then switch to WM keyboard for English and not use CE-Star for English.
Chinese Input PS
PS When you install CE-Star it will change your language settings to Chinese, so things like GoogleMaps will start to display all menus in Chinese, Just set Language to English in Regional settings, and everything is back to normal.

[Q] Thai Font HTC Decsire

Hi guys,
I have recently purchased a HTC Desire. To my surprise it does not support Thai font. I frequently receive SMS messages in Thai, and all I receive using this phone is SMS messages filled with squares. My question is: Is there a thai font/language pack?. I have tried Anysoft keyboard and the thai language pack, however that did not enable my phone to read thai, rather it just installed the ability to type it.
Also I would prefer to have this ability without rooting my phone, as I am inexperienced, and if you will, almost completely technology illiterate.
If rooting is the ONLY way, I need a guide, but I have seen so many guides on how to root, and I still do not understand (think of me as your computer illiterate mother.... I just don't understand no matter how many times you tell me). zif rooting is the only way, can someone explain it in slightly more english.
Please help with this issue,
Cheers
I am also interested in this topic. Anyone knows if there's a way to make Desire support Thai fonts?
I would like to know this to.
You guys are looking for an app in the market place called: star tranlate
It translates sms and all sorts - also Thai language is supported.
Froyo supports Thai fonts. Couldn't be ass to wait for OTA update from Orange so I rooted my Orange branded Desire and installed LeeDroid ROM yesterday.
Only problem is, it doesn't have Thai keyboard (well, it has but it doesn't have Thai characters on it) but you can download C&N Thai keyboard from the market.
I solved this by installing AnySoftKeyboard available at Android Market. After this I installed the AnySoft Thai Language Pack. First I didn't realize that the installation worked, but after figuring out how to configure the input method and switch between English and Thai keyboard (you simply swipe sideways) it works like an absolute charm.
No rooting required, installation done in less than 10mins.
Recommended. Let me know if you need help configuring the input method, krub.
EDIT: I should add that all existing functions in the Phone where Thai fonts are being used are now displaying Thai. For instance, all information in the contacts and old text messages from my previous phone.
gud job keep it up!!!

[Q] Handwriting recognition for Ex-Yugoslavian languages

I have searched for this on the internet but can't find any useful info.
Since one week I'm proud owner of Note 2. It's a fantastic phone. There is just one rather big problem I'm having with this phone.
I have a stock phone and I would like to use handwriting recognition for different languages. I have added and updated English, Dutch and Croatian. It is possible for me to write with S pen when I select English or Dutch. But when I select Croatian, the handwriting option in the menu disappears and I can only choose to use on-screen keyboard or speak-to-text recognition.
By the way. I need to use handwriting recognition for writing: SMS / Whattsapp / E-mail mainly.
I really need Note 2 to be able to write text in any Ex-Yugoslavian language (Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian), preferably Bosnian or Croatian. Does anyone know if a solution exists for this problem?? It would help me very much to use my phone to it's full extent.
One maybe important piece of information. My phone is an international GT-7100 version.
Tried:
- So you just know when I try to write serbo-croatian, with English or Dutch selected, the phone just tries to change the words to English or Dutch. So this is not a workable solution...
Bump!
I would like to know this too... Writing in english is perfect on this phone. But most of my sms i send in Serbian (or serbo-croatian, whatever you like)..
@OP : pozdrav tebra
I have the same issue with Lithuanian language. However I have checked on other phone with exact same software version and settings and it had the functionality. No idea what Im missing - any help appreciated.
