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.

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....
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,
'Alimentation' => Food => Power supply (electronic context) => Battery
Hope this helps.
Yet I'm surprised FTouchFloCubeFRv3.cab only exists in french you say?

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.
Hi, i´m very disapointed at this moment because can get a working ROM translation of WM6.1 build 19199.
To begín step by step the first thing i want is change folders names like Startup o Program files. I made changes in initFlashFiles.dat, and default.hv. but the ROM don´t boot. WHY????
What are the files i need to edit just to change folders names?.
PD: I already checked initflashfiles.dat is unicode file and remove the first two bytes, that´s not the problem.
Please HELP ME!!! i don´t know if there´s something i miss to do.
I´m very interested for doing this ROM because there isn´t any WM6.1 Spanish ROM for trinity.
Thanks.
Try donating Tom_Condon...
Don´t want anyone´s make an spanish ROM, just want to learn how to do it, but i must be missing something, it couldn´t be so dificult... but i can´t realise where is the mistake....

why you work on .hv files when you have the bepe's kitchen and all rgus you want, only have to compare the rgu from 6.1 with an original corresponding spanish wm 6.0 rgu.....
for muis, you have to translate into sys folder:
base_lang muis, browsing muis and all muis into ***_lang___ folders into sys
to do it, try with restorator 2007 (shareware)
in menus, dialogs and strings, compare them step by step with original spanish mui, with the wm 6.1 WWE, and overwrite the originals with the wwe, you now have double menus id into one, if there are corresponding in spanish and english, check if there are same voices inside, and delete the wwe, if not (if there is only the wwe) you have to translate it, in some hours of work, and if partecipate more than only a person, you can have all muis, all rgu and iniflashfiles.dat translated in spanish...
also for initflashfiles.dat and oemapps you can check them with original spanish 6.0....
I translated into italian, so you can tranlsate into spanish, or german or in every language you want.
Be not discouraged champion... to my this is escaped from my short brain, I don't also have little idea of English, but for what is here you have me
Ok. I axl have the same problem. I can make roms with old kitchen but I am unable to make then with bepe's & ervius. I don't know where I miss something but resulting roms don't boot.
We can try to put in common our researches, so if we are stopped at diferent points we can finish it up.
- I am using as a base rom FAMAN's 4.00 (for me the best spanish rom). I extract XIP from this rom.
- Then I take master bepe's WM6.1. I process it with buildos+package_tools-2.7.exe.
- Edit initflash.dat and check .hv's
- Build with buildos...
Rom doesn't boot at all.
solution found
I found a solution, and get a working ROM...
Is not the kitchen i use all of then, I think is the shellres.dll.xxxx.mui, i have modified it with restorator, i added the missing resources in my spanish mui, from the original working one. After this i delete the shellres.dll.xxxx.mui folder, and place the mui into the dump folder.
After this and after translate the registry and initflashfiles.dat into my language, and change all muis to my country code, the ROM finally boot.
Thanks Ervius and everybody for helping me so much... i have learn so much from all cookers in this forum.
Soon we will release WM6.0 and WM6.1 Spanish ROMS, stay tuned WM6.0 versión is close to finish.

New PROBLEM
Hi all, i´m close to finish spanish translation, but i have some problems.
1- MMS doesn´t appear in messaging, and Send MMS command in contacts options doesn´t work. What are the files related with this?, any mui?. I haven´t touch anything in registry but changed xxx_409 files to xxx_C0A to get files working with my language code.
2- Network Wizard or any cab for setting operator internet settings (GPRS Settings and WAP Settings) doesn´t work, it raise me a "database Error". What are the files related with this?, any mui?.
I know all these errors are caused by me in the process of translation, so in WWE original version these things works. Please Help me to find where is the mistake.
If i fix this two errors, i will be able to release a beta versión of my spanish WM6.1 ROM.
Thanks.

There are not packages, these features are included into the base ROM i`m triying to translate, i can´t separate into packages.
I´m working directy on the dump directory of the ROM, it must be some file i replace with translated one, or any reference in registry.

I am unable to make a bootabe of 6.1 . I made quite a lot from 6 with Faman, but I miss something in this one.
1.- Did you check inside the mui's to see if here is any reference to 0409?.
2.- There was a problem with the network wizard, check if operators.txt has first line null.
Hi all!
After see this video :

I want to install Windows Mobile 6.5 (english version) on my Toshiba G810.
I found the right rom (but completely in chinese):
http://4tv.cn/plus/download.php?ope...hLkc4MTAuMjExODkuMjExODkuQ0hTLllILkxpdGUucmFy
How can I change the language files?
How can I do this? I must to unpack the rom file, change the language files and then rebuild the rom file? Please, help me!
changing the rom as far as I understand is very very very much work
few people have don it and never with 100% success
the thing is that there is no language files
text is hard-coded into exe and dll files
and each of them have to be manually changed using a hex editor
This means that I must learn chinese language?
Ok ok... It's a joke... Can I install a similar rom image of a similar device (same processor family, same resolution)?

Looking for someone who can edit/translate all localization files from ROM.
We must edit all MUI, XML files etc so we can get fully translated ROM to POLISH language. We can edit ROM via HTC ROM EDITOR...
Model of the phone is HTC OZONE (non touch screen device).
In exchange I am offering Motorola Q9 GSM, 3G HSDPA, Bluetooth, GPS, Camera, WM6, ...
If anyone is interested send me PM I will send You WM6.5 ROM.
I have more phones to translate ...

You don't need to translate mui files. Windows Mobile 6.5 Standard already have Polish localization files (0415 PLK Polish Polska).
hTC rom editor is not the best tool to use. It's better to cook a Polish ROM for Ozone.

Thank You for fast answer.
This model doesn't have 0415 (Polish) localization files but only 0409 (English) and 0C0A (Spanish).
Actually I did find similar model with Windows Mobile 6.5 Standard which has 0415 files so I exctracted them > changed names to 0409 > made CAB file > now OZONE has half of the desktop and half of the applications in Polish so we need to translate the rest.
I can send these files too to someone who is interested in translating.

Ohh.. you're doing it the hard way.
I supose you use OEM packages from hTC Snap. Most files are the same, so there should be no need to translate them, you just need to replace the corrent ones.
But you will also need to change some registry keys to match Polish language, if not - it will stay half English, half Polish.
