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.
Ok!
This is my first post, but I’m a reader not a poster. For most Swedish people we are satisfied with WWE but we have this issue with ÅÄÖ, For keypad I have tried Ilodiom Finnish cab but that was not correct for SWE. Please correct me if am wrong.
For my earlier device Wings (thanks jockyw 2001 for your help and how to dump, rebuild, cook, flash and hardsbl) I know what to change to get ÅÄÖ thanks to the WINGS forum.
Could someone please tell me what files to extract and replace to get Swedish keyboard from original 193.413.3 SWE.
I think for Chiefs when you make Multilingual ROM the most important thing is to make it keyboard compatible not language because all people here in the forum understand English.
I have read most posts and used the search function and even created a very fast Swedish ROM for myself.
But I think in this forum many things is missing in the WIKI please!
Ok I am satisfied with my own created ROM but this could be so much better if we share our findings.
Thank you from a very old noob that created a very fast Swedish ROM from findings on this site.
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.
//Svein
Let me know when you figure this out, Svein!

I have tried the same on other roms. The files are in place and the registry keys are correct, but the phone stille refuses any input.
If you find a solution please let us know. I need the danish input
I've flashed the Energy Rom "Leo" (WM 6.5.1 Manila 2.5), and therefore loost the standard Portuguese T9 dictionary that was build on my HTC.
Is there any way to fix this ?
Been reading through the forum and found no info that applies to the Energy Rom (don't know if this is a Rom specific issue or a Manila 2.5 issue)
Got the same question... can anybody help?
No one ?
Seams that no one has the same problem, so i guess i will have to live without the PT dictionaries on my phone... that's a crap

Meybe we can exctract this dictionary from thar ROM, but how???

how can i change the default xt9 language on win 6.5 manila 2.5?
thx
Hi,
Install the cab in post 5.
Start a new message, go to keyboard settings, and change language to the one you want.
Set the Text input settings as you like, and then it's working.

After have installed the cab the only thing i've done is to set language to italian in HD Tweak Info --> Language

I've solved this problem by installing Fingerkeyboard.
Then it works fine.
