AKU3.2 Rom Languages (and Packs)

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?

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.

Jason

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....

I can cook it with CE-Star and Chinese input if anyone wants it.

Is it possible make it become chinese?

May be let me explain better ..
Personally , I prefer english interface,
but as a HK people,
I need to have a function to view chinese ..
and I HATE those fonts that using by CE-Star and Monster chinese
(the outlook of fonts is ugly ...)
therfore I use the fonts from windows vista which call Microsoft YaHei that can support cht and chs ....and best outlooking and never mess up at any size
that's why my rom is in english interface but HAD the function to view chinese ...
and for ppl who seeking for a clean rom, this may also be a good choice is be coz .. I had removed
1) clearvue PDF
2) those animated gif
3) all ring except those ring-standard.wma .....
4) those waterfall.jpg , flower.jpg ..........

I also a HK people, I agree with your point! but is it possible make it with the build in input for EN interface? and is it inculde the Windows Update?
Thanks!

I am using LVSW, rather than flashing again... is it possible to make it read chinese (no need input) like your ROM?
Mind to guide how?

Thanks leofungwai
Thanks leofungwai, as a Chinese user myself, I share the same delimar as you, and I am glad that you are sharing what you did with us. Now, about the Chinese input, would it be possible to have Cantonese pin-yin as one of the inputs?

Yes please Traditional Chinese with hand writing input if possible.

U may refer to this thread:

You will be able to view CHT (or even CHS, I am not sure) using the patch. If you need Chinese inputs, you have to use those software like Monster or CE Star.

Trinity Simplified Chinese Version WM5 or WM6 Roms

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.

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?

Which new rom support chinese?

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.

can you post other link about add chinese support to eng,i can not access the web site from chinese mainland.

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.

NEW ROMS??

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.
