Already tried, also followed the wiki.... Keyboard is OK. just the space key doesnt change to äöüéàè
You can try to duplicate the file sym.0409.txt in the windows folder and name this new file sym.0407.txt. It worked for me for the french keyboard (sym.040C.txt in french).
What Atmis said, I simply modified the sym.0409.txt file in /Windows so I easily could type Swedish characters such as å,ä & ö with a/o + space. You need to copy it over to your computer with active sync, edit the file then move it back.

Already tried to copy the origional sym.409.txt to sym.407.txt (german) but when i press the "blue" space nothing happens.
You need to replace the sym.0409.txt file if your OS is in English.

Actually i've 3 files (for testing) sym.0409.txt, sym.0407.txt, sym.txt and it does not work.
Having Hermes with QWERTZ keyboard (switzerland) and English WM6 (Vanilla)
That's interesting. I had the same issues when upgrading my device to AKU 3.3. After some changing forward backward between English and German Keyboard it suddenly worked.
I also upgraded a second device and I cannot get the space key working to change between the special letters.
I know it does not help but maybe it's an device bug. I will downgrade the device the other device when I can get it back again and see if it works with the original image.
It was working flawlessly for me, I just had to reboot the device after creating the new file.

... After HardReset, installing the "German Input Cab", modifiying sym.0409.txt and a reboot everything is working fine...
Probably some manipulation described in the wiki i made before installing the cab made the changes...
finally it works. thanks to all
Ehm. I am not trying to sound stupid or anything. but how do I find this"sym.409.txt"? I would like to change some of the keys into norwegian symbols like æ, ø and å.
I have just heard something about the root folder.
But in that case. where is it, I assume that I am just being blind or something but.
THanks for your help

Not blind, the file is hidden, at least on my system with Josh Manulla2D.
To see the file in Windows, using File Explorer, click on "Menu/Show All Files".
My problem is that I have made changes for my German keyboard on an English language install, but I cannot replace the file in \Windows. All I get is an Access Denied message.
Anybody know how I can get past this to replace the sym.409.txt file?
Task Manager is installed so surely it must be some service that needs killing to free up the file.
Regards
Peter
Not sure what's the issue.

Unfortunately DictEditor does not support WM6 yet. And WordCorrector will support WM6 only in the next version (which I hope to release soon). SpellChecker works with WM6 without changing anything.
Currently, one WM6 user is helping me to do some "detective" work and hopefully find out what file/database actually contains the word completion dictionary in WM6. Too bad I don't own a WM6 device yet, else the hunting/development process should be able to speed up.
i forget the name of the file in the rom but its a .txt file and its located near the preconfig.txt if you search a rom dump sorted by type. i have edited the text and it worked its pretty easy just need to dump the rom thats all.

I hope you are referring to the word completion dictionary rather than the auto correct dictionary.
Dictionaries in WM5 and earlier:
1) Word Completion: dyncompdict.dat
2) Spell Checking: custom.dic
3) Auto correct: autocorrect.txt
Dictionaries in WM6:
1) Word Completion: ???
2) Spell Checking: custom.dic
3) Auto correct: autocorrect.0409.txt (for English ROM)
I hope someone figures out the "missing link" so that I can work on an update for DictEditor soon.

It would be really handy to find out which file holds the Word Completion dictionary - I've got a few duff entries in mine (on my Universal), so I'd like to delete the whole lot.

I hadn't gotten a chance to work with your program since I recently flashed. I just automatically installed it since it was always so helpful in the past. I hope you will keep us up to date when you get it working for WM6
vicott, I'm using HTC Touch and I installed HTC PhonePad. I also installed your T9Editor, but when I run it, it always says "HTC Phone Pad is not installed in your device." I have already did a soft reset, chose PhonePad as SIP and the error message still pops up.

It will be fixed in the next version. It's already completed actually, but I'm not releasing it yet due to other reasons. If you wish to have the file now, you can e-mail me here.

I received quite a couple of irrelevent e-mails regarding this post lately, so I have to clarify here once & for all.
Firstly, I was only referring to an update for T9Editor (I was only responmding to a query if you guys have read the earlier posts), which is one of the 6 "sub-programs" in the DictMgr suite.
Secondly, T9Editor is only used for modifying the dictionary used by HTC Phone Pad.
Thirdly, 5 of the 6 "sub-programs" in DictMgr suite are already compatible with WM6 all the while. The only one that is not compatible is DictEditor.
Next, the update for T9Editor (which is also included in the latest version of DictMgr) has already been released. Please go to my website to download it.
Lastly, DictEditor (used to modify the word completion dictionary in WM5 and below) is not compatible with WM6 because the word completion dictionary file is a different file (different filename and location) in WM6. To add on to the misery, the file structure is totally different. That makes it highly challenging to develop a dictionary editor for it since I haven't read about anybody "deciphering" how the file works YET.

Does any one know how to get japanese input and output on the ATT 8525 and ATT 8925 (8925 running WM6, 8525 will be running WM6)? I currently have a free program that does this on WM5 but it doesn't want to work on WM6 (See Link). When I install it on WM6 it makes the keyboard not work.

Any recommendations. Keep in mind I would like to stay on the free side of things. I'm cheep

For the Hermes http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298919
It is possible and free. Read read read!
Edit: Just read your thread. Looks like you are having trouble because it is a Kaiser, right? Check that Kaiser thread. One reg edit is all you need. Also, don't install that Bagoj stuff. Stick to the original WM5 input. It is running smooth on my WM6 Hermes.
i have the hermes. Thanks ill take a look.
Wow, you've got a Hermes and it is still messing up the keyboard!? Well, when and if you have trouble, I will be watching this thread.
yea the hermes doesn't have WM6 on it yet cause ATT hasn't released it. I have it working on it now but my testing with the TYTN 2 tells me that im going to run into this problem when i upgrade the phone.

I build my own ROM with Japanese input/output using Pandora Kitchens with 3.62 ROM. I have made some packages for this with all files from Japanese WM5, not from any commercial third parties. If you are interested in it, I can send you a private message with the packages. Let me know.
thank you for the offer, however voiding the phones warranty of the phone is out of the question. The warranty is very important to the company that I work for.
If you can separate the Japanese input/output from the ROM that would be ok by me. One more thing the Japanese input/output needs to work on Windows Mobile 6, as i already have a program that dose this on WM5.
I have yet to try the previous suggestions. I will be trying these most likely tomorrow.

there are a few things you have to do to implement east asian language functions on windows mobile. actually, you can do this without rom cooking.
1) you need to replace wince.nls in windows folder because it is only for western languages. however, it is a rom system file, and simple copy&paste does not make it work.
2) download reloadnls.exe and put it in \Windows\Startup. This makes the new wince.nls work properly. you can download reloadnls.exe from this link:http://www.geocities.jp/hou_ming_2/reloadnls.zip
3) you also need a Japanese font. (for example, msgothic.ac3 from japanese wm6 or windows xp) You can retrieve a font and wince.nls from this zip. http://x01ht.ratn-leaf.com/files/customizer/packages/Japanize_Tiny.zip
4) You also have to change the registry for viewing Japanese texts.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls]
"LegacyLocaleMode"=dword:00000001
"DefaultLCID"=dword:00000411
"DefaultACP"=dword:000003a4
"DefaultOCP"=dword:000003a4
"SystemLCID"=dword:00000411
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]
"MS PGothic"="\\windows\\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"
"MS Gothic"="\\windows\\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"
"MS UI Gothic"="\\windows\\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"
"Courier New"="\\windows\\msgothic.ac3,MS UI Gothic"
"Tahoma"="\\windows\\msgothic.ac3,MS UI Gothic"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SkipTable]
"Tahoma"="005c,00a5,007e,0391-03c9,2026,2116,221a,25a0-25ff"
"Courier New"="005c"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\International]
"ACP"=dword:000003a4
"LCID"=dword:00000411
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI]
"DisableFarEastWordBreak"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\International]
"Default_CodePage"=dword:c6f4
5) After soft rest, you can view Japanese text now.
6) To use MS Japanese IME, you need to copy following files into \Windows. You can find them in Japanese WM5 or you can download from here. http://x01ht.ratn-leaf.com/files/customizer/packages/MSIME.zip
hwxjpn.dll
imjp31.dll
imjp31dx.exe
imjp31k.dll
imjp31s.dic
imjp31s.grm
mboxjpn.96.dll
mboxjpn.dll
msimj.96.dll
msimj.dll
mskana.96.dll
mskana.dll
(You don't need to copy any files in the zip other than files listed above.
7) In the zip above, there are two registry files, defaul.txt and user.txt. Just import them using your favorite registry editor.
8) Soft reset, and you now have a Japanese input function (MS IME) installed in your hermes. However, there is no way to call this function from your keyboard since it is not a japanese keylayout.
9) To call MS IME, you need to assign this function to a key by freeware called PQz. http://1942.rocketspace.net/PQzII/PQzII_20070725_HTC_Hermes.cab
English manual: http://www.nicque.com/PQz/DOC/index_e.htm
Hope you will figure out the way!
Your post is helpful however I am unable to read Japanese. (wish I could) The geocities site you referred me to appears to throw an error but, again, since I cant read Japanese I cant be sure.
I'll give this a shot though
While I am sure qtotter's method works fine, there are easier ways. I myself have a WM6 tytn and get Japanese output/input simply by installing the following two .cabs.
Fonts and wince
http://www.asukal.jp/WM5/LetsJapanNo5.zip
Install and soft reset.
Input, fully accessable from the keyboard
http://hn801.hkes.com/Data/SIP/IME_31J_QVGA_F.zip
Install and soft reset.
You may run into troubles depending on which physical keyboard your tytn has, but these can be solved by a simple registry edit to the keyboard layout key.

i know about LetsJapanNo5.zip, but did not introduce it since i am not sure if usemynls.exe included in the cab is freeware.
as for the ime part, i suppose IME_31J_QVGA_F.zip does exactly what i explained above automatically, and i recommend this way.
as for the keyboard part, if your device has a keyboard with non-japanese layout, you cannot call ime as i explained above since there is no key assign for this function by default. you still need PQzII to map ime function to a key on your keyboard.

What exactly does usemynls.exe do? Does it redirect use of the wince file in Windows to another one? Cause you can just use TotalCommander (or whatever file explorer) to copy over the one in Windows and then do away with usemynls, no?

You sure the tab key (or whatever is just left of the space bar) doesn't function this way if you let the ime cab do its work? What if you edit the registry thusly: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty] "Layout"= 30411 (Hexadecimal base)
Looking at the X01HT and the 8525, the hardware looks exactly the same to me - same number of keys with the same placement.
qtotter, I have a X01HT, so I'll believe you if you say its so, but it just seems weird to me that HTC would make different hardware which looks the same. If you've never tried it yourself, then perhaps pwnage can be our guinea pig.
BTW, which Hermes rendition are you using, pwnage?

I tried this and the input seems to be fine however the keyboard refuses to work. I did try a few reg settings in the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload\1]
Under the preload key I changed "(Default)" from e0010411 to e0010409 (the original reg value).
Under the preload\1 key I changed "(Default)" from ee0010411 to e0010409 (the original reg value).
Now when I switched the values from ee0010411 to e0010409 in both the Japanese input stopped working. When I changed them back they started working (no keyboard).
Am I inputing the wrong reg keys or what?

no, you are not doing anything wrong. LetsJapanNo5 forces keyboard layout change.
this is what i explained above. 10409 is for the english keyboard layout, and 10411 is for the japanese keyboard layout. since you are using an english keyboard, you need to keep the value 10409. however, it does not have a key assigned to ime call. you simply need to use PQzII to map this function to any key you want.

When you say the keyboard stopped working, do you mean that it just doesn't respond at all, no matter what buttons you press?
Is this on the Tytn or the TytnII?
If this is the TytnII, check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333507&page=2
That guy had problems with his keyboard AND buttons responding, but got everything working with the two .cab files I posted above with one regedit.

Yeah, but isn't that just paint? I don't want to sound pendantic, but if the hardware below the paint is the same, then I don't see what the problem would be.

You can't use the File Explorer built into WM to overwrite system files, so I use GSFinder. Others use Total Commander. These can copy, delete, whatever to system files.
Anyway, now thanks to your info about usemynsl.exe, I have another 350kb or so free as I was able to overwrite my wince file in Windows (which allows .NET programs to function! YEAH!) and delete the usemynsl and the redundant wince in my Temp folder.

i am not saying you cannot copy and paste different rom system files to your device. even if you copy and paste another wince.nls, the system does not refer to the new wince.nls.
this is the reason why people use usemynsl.exe to force the system to refer to another wince.nls in a different location or reloadnls.exe to force the system to refer to the overwrote wince.nls in /windows.
if you wanna save disk space, i recommend you build your own rom burned with east asian wince.nls like i do.

Uh oh. So what did I do to my tytn?
I copied over the original wince in Windows with the one from LetsJapan in Temp.
I deleted the wince in Temp and moved usemynls so that it wouldn't run on startup.
Everything seems to be running smoothly, and I have soft reset (for other reasons) a few times between now and then...
No problems so far (its been a couple of days), but can I expect them?
Dear All,
Touch PAL has a beta version available the Touch PAL 4.0 (upgrade from 3.5), its just the best software keyboard i ever have used. Now my HD is almost perfect, such good that i even have doubts to buy the Touch PRO 2.
Thx for the heads up. I agree, no matter what other keyboard I try, just always go back to touchpal...bit of a learning curve to it but worth it as once learned its simply the best and fastest to use. Just love it!
Any link to the beta version? I recall I really liked this, but ditched it as it didn't have a landscape mode.
**EDIT** Sorry, here it is - http://www.cootek.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=854
I didnt know this software before this, post, but after try it, it is the best keyboard software by far
thanks
I have been using this since 3.5 and think it is the best ever, and now with v4.0, it simply blows everything away!
I prefer this over Fingerkeyboard2 and the HTC Touch Input.
I've started using it since it's FOC day v.1.0.. It has come quite a long way.
Like the new landscape layout (tho' I hardly use THD in that mode) and I can type as fast using the T+ layout as if I'm in portrait mode! Cool!
Now, waiting for them to load up other language pack, and hopefully add in some symbols on the T+ layout, instead of having two '.' and ','.

All languages wich already exists will also work for 4.0
You just have to modify one little thing..
Open ActiveSync and open the Device Browser and go to "My Windows Mobile based device.." then go to Program Files\TouchPal\Surfaces..
There you will see already installed languages.. now open up the directory off the language you want to have available in TouchPal 4 for example dutch.
In this directory you will see dutch.img and surface.data just simply rename the surface.data to dutch.data same as the name of the directory..
If you get the message can't modify jadajada.. then just chose another keyboard on you're device, and then it will work after the renaming you must restart you're device!!!
Happy Typing T+
For this version there are other language files?

hi
tried this for norwegian language, but did not work.
I see the language but I can not choose it.
I bought it for my kaiser and it was great. It's picked up some problems with the Touch HD implementation though. Odd fiddly bugs like the unreliable way it interacts with the HTC input selector, occasional reversion back to the WM6 keyboard and it's not brilliant with opera.
Hopefully they'll fix.

Sad to report that I lost v.4.0.. after trying to tweak the language file.. this may not be the cause, since others have not issue with it.
Basically, v.4.0 doesn't load or load up a blank page (1/2 the height of the normal keyboard size) at the bottom which doesn't disappear untile I change the SIP. Uninstall, reinstall, uninstall and install v.3.0 and reinstall v.4.0 etc all no use.. sad...
sigh..
Edit：
Solved the problem with the help from the developer. Back up your language files in Surface, uninstall TouchPal, delete all the TouchPal folder in Program File and reinstall. Then Soft reset. Viola!
Anyone tried deleting the other language file before? Is it ok? How about the Chinese language file from v.3.5? Anyone tried it yet? I have it installed, but it's the fifth one on the list at the bottom, so can't access it unless I remove one of the other language.
You will have to remove other language files before you can select another.. just installed a new rom i'm trying some other language files right now.. I will report the status of the testing

I did the above before, and I can't even get TouchPal to launch after deleting the language files that come with it.
if can't afford..using chinese version instead of cracked version..XD
The title should read "Best software keyboard - the TouchPAL 3.5"
IMO 4.0 is a step backwards, I don't use landscape keyboard so the only good thing about this update is nicer skin.
swedish dic SUCKS
This software is great and one of the best if not the best IMHO.
BUT no matter how good a software is for putting in text is. If the dic is bad there is really no use for it.
Different tempus for verbs is non existing and so cumbersome to input. the best would be if it could use the HTC dic like fingerkeyboard. Which really is the best dic a experience so far.
Other really bad thing is trying to get help on their forum to build a good Swedish dic has been non excisting. Atleast for me.
just my 2 cents
Regards

Nice keyboard indeed, and language version of djxfma works good.
Bu I miss the SMS name suggestion function of the HTC input and finger keyboard.
I will give it a try though.
Thanx for this application.
L.
It still can, just a bit more troublesome. After typing the name, press 'Space' and then delete the spacing and the name suggestion will work.
I found "AE Keyboard Mapper" extremely useful to make my TP2 keyboard produce Hebrew characters.
It first provides you with a simple utility to scan the keyboard for the code produced by a key (or key combination) press.
It then lets you update a config file to make each key code to a corresponding Unicode character code.
and thats about it.
I've used it to create a mapping of the keys to Hebrew but you can do it to any other language.
The attached contain two files:
1) "EA Keyboard Mapper" installation cab
2) Hebrew config file for TP2
First install "AE Keyboard Mapper"
Once the "AE Keyboard Mapper" is installed/
Place the Hebrew config file in the \Program Files\AEKMap directory
Run "AEKMap Settings" utility and select the new layout from the list
Reload AEKMap
Enjoy
P.S. As a few indicated I left a 2 inportent details out
1) The letter "ת" is mapped to the Envelope key on the bottom row.
2) Switching btween English and Hebrew - I have mapped CTRL+"." to do it but you can map you own switching combination with the AEKMapSettings app.

I share your pain and hate to disappoint you but there is no free Hebrew that is compatible with TP2.
With that there is no Hebrew for the TF3D that works on TP2.
If only Ben-Yehuda knew what he is getting us into
To date PDAC is the only Hebrew that would run on TP2 but I had such a bad experience with it on my old TyTN that I wouldn't even consider installing it on my new TP2...
Eliezer would do it better...
anyway - Since I installed PDAC the "fun" key stopped FUNctioning.
do you know this problem ?

Nope. Sorry.
I understood from his posts that Yuvvi is using PDAC you can PM him and see if he has an idea.

I am not sure what skin you refer to but unless its Human (which make sense when it comes to Hebrew support) I am not interested in the skin i.e. TF3D

We need to get one of the guys who did it before (avimak, nir36, alex2003 or the_dude) to give us directions on how to replicate their work on TP2.
These guys refuse to to help us..
I dont really know what the big deal is..
PDAC Hebrew is really slowing down the device =| It doesnt support the hardware keyboard as it is..
Eyron are supposed to release hebrew for our TP2 devices.. hope they do it soon.. =|
I don't really get what you guys are saying:
first, the link I posted IS for TP2 ! or did I miss something ?
second, I didn't get the part about these guys REFUSING to help.
please explain guys
I installed this method together with PDAC, It works great as I type the first 4 letters.. then it just doesnt work anymore =|

Anyone have a cab for Taiwan Chinese Keyboard?
Looking to switch back to Taiwan Chinese keyboard. Haven't figured out AeKeyMap yet, working on it.

Seeing the problem with the FUN key on the PDAC I tried it on the AEKMap and figured it wasn't working
Quickly enough I also found a solution. AEKMap supports an ALT key which doesn't exist on the TP2 keyboard so I have mapped the ALT to the FUN key code and voila we have a working FUN key in Hebrew which means you can write in Hebrew and still use the FUN key to produce "?", "-", "+" etc.
All you have to do is unzip the attached, place it in the \Program Files\AEKMap directory (overwriting the existing file), Unload and reload the AEKMap using the AEKMap-Settings app and you are good to go.
thanks man~!!
i really needed it! you done a great job!
continue like that
well done!
