Please can someone be so kind and post some howto change language of ROM? I've got extracted packages from m$hit emu, i tried to put them into rom (replace _0409 - source was wwe) but it looks like it's not enough (i changed initflashes.dat there were instr. to create folders like \x00ea\x00ad etc - hexa codes of chars to normal strings). ROM was compiled w/o problems but after 1st boot align screen didnt appear and calibration is wrong, after pressing win key appears only today item and replog.exe's icon. but rom is in desired lang. What else must be changed? boot.hv, user.hv??Please help!!!
at buzzdev.net they have don some work with language packs
the people behind those would have a pretty good idea
also in the trinity forum i saw info about both greek and french wm6 roms so maybe those are translated too
look into it
I was searching for a way to add the Dutch language to the B&B 4.1 ROM of Tom.
I saw in the thread a lot of people where searching for this so i made a little howto
First of all i need to thank the guys from who i have gotten this here in xda (search & find):
- ctibor
- hiblopp
Well here we go:
Code:
1. Copy T9DutchLdb.dll to \Windows folder of Artemis.
4. Edit the Artemis Registry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\IntelliPad
a. Incerease by one the value of the "LibraryCount" dword (in my case from 10 to 11)
b. Created a "Library10" dword with the value of 8. (This is for the Dutch language).
Soft reset and you can use the dutch language in Phonepad!
If you want to use another language not provided you must copy the appropriate T9<language>Ldb.dll to the \Windows folder.
AND
change the Library10 value to the value for your language.
These are the languages i found in another thread:
7=Danish
8=Dutch
9=Finnish
10=Hungarian
11=Norwegian
12=Polish
13=Romanian
14=Slovak
15=Swedish
I have added the dutch language file for people who want to make the change!
Hi RikP just did your settings and it seems to work fine thanks!
Do you know also a way to get the keyboard to recognize dutch words?
(or do I have to wait till i typed them all )
Thanks for the guide!

Did a quick search and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299036
Does it fix your problem?
T9
A better method would be the easy one . First you have to copy your t9 file directly in windows folder. Than select phonepad as input method (click on the little arrow beside the keyboard on the bar) and select Options... Input Method: Phone Pad. Select Options... Languages tab... Database... and select your language.
For t9 DLL's i downloaded t9languages.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290007.
I added Romanian in my phone and works great.
PS: Sorry my english, hope is allright.
I have searched and searched for the Norwegian language on my X1, keyboard and dictionary on the Norwegian, because I want to use the keyboard, we have extra letters as "æ" "ø" "å".
hope someone has found a solution, or can create one as soon as possible.
This is something that is very important to me in the job context.

Hi Losty,
I assume that you have a Norwegian hardware keyboard in the first place.
- If you are using an non-Norwegian WM version then you will have to do a registry change to use æ,ø,å on the hardware keyboard.
Either use Total Commander (http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm) on your phone, or run an editor from your computer via ActiveSync, like the free CERegEditor (http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/).
Quote:
In the registry, navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD
Change the CurLan g value to match your language:
English: 409
Norwegian: 414
(Make sure you edit the value in hex)
- I don't think you can add the Norwegian dictionary to a non-Norwegian Windows Mobile version (anyone please correct me if i'm wrong) but you can still add words to the dictionary by typing them in as you go.
The original dictionary file is not known yet, and there are no editors avaliable either. I can't seem to find anyone who has successfully solved this issue.
The custom word dictionary file is \Windows\ "compimeh.0409.dat"
The custom dictionary in a Norwegian WM should be "compimeh.0414.dat"
I restored a copy of the "0414" from a Norwegian WM6.1 backup and replaced the original "0409" English one. I still get english word suggestions but at least my originally added words (from WM6.1 Norwegian) pops up now.
- Well if you want to set the WM language to Norwegian AND use a custom ROM, you are probably best off using something like itje's Touch-IT Xperience 21046.1.6.3 (Norwegian).
If not then you can set part of the OS (day naming, calendar, clock etc) to Norwegian by going to Settings->System->Regional Settings.
Cheers

Hi all,
I just wrote a small application to change manila language on the fly, don't know if any other application exist to accomplish this task but I was not able to find one so I decided to write my own. MLM connects to my server and checks which languages are available for a given manila build allowing you to:
- Download a language pack for a given manila/sense build
- Install the _manila files in windows directory
- Set the proper registry values
You can choose to execute the operations in separated steps since the language pack (about 50Kb each) are stored on the mobile after download. You can even work offline but only with the builds/languages you have already downloaded.
How to use it:
1) Check your manila build version (you can get it from settings tab => device information, software information)
2) Open Manila language manager
3) Click on "check avail build" from left menu key to fetch builds from server or from disk if you are working offline
4) Select your build and preferred language
5) Click on Go button.
6) Wait for manila to load
REMEMBER:
- Needs .net compact framework 3.5 to work
- Application is at a very early development stage, it works flawlessly on my touch hd (latest NRG rom) but I won't take any responsability in the event it messes up your windows mobile installation so use it at your own risk.
Any comment is appreciated

Could you explain better ? Not sure of what you are referring to but sms notification should be a system feature not manila, hence you cannot translate it using this application.
if i change the manila language ( from english to spanish ) the sms notification does not work ( dont wake up my device and dont sound the alert ), if i change the manila language to english again, it works ok.
i mean :
english language ->> the alert sounds on new sms, and wake up the phone to view the incomming sms.
spanish language->> dont sound on new sms, dont wake up my device, only pressing the power buttom appear the new sms icon ( but no alert/sound/wake up/ nothing )
Really strange, I've checked all the files inside the language packs es-es, ca-es, es-es_tradnl and they are all about language translation, nothing else. I'll let you know as soon as I discover anything.

According to what I am reading in the latest NRG rom thread, it seems to be a bug in the rom that occurs whenever you change the language code. It's not related to MLM, it would behave same way if you change the code manually in the registry.
Very useful tools~ Thanks~
this nice app really works!
great job!
thanks!
Happy to see that it works for at least 3 people on 84 downloads
I'll try to keep the list updated for future builds. If anyone has valid sources for old manila builds (I need the manila OEMs to create the language packs) I will upload the languages on the server.
Thanks a lot!
Very usefull!
MLM Alpha0.3
Works great with Xannytechs Grid Evo 1.6 with build 28011
Thx a lot for your great work
Works great! I do use the Dutch lanquage now, txs, your work is appreciated!
good job, it works fine.
I also have the problem with the sms notification though :S with the nrg rom.
Any1 found out any solution on this?
Version 0.4 on first post
Thanks a lot! Works like a charm!
You, sir, are my hero
Confirmed working for 407 de-de on latest Energy ROM!
Since most ROMs are missing all but the WWE notifications files, changing the language will disable SMS sound and popup.
Take the files in the attached archive, rename them according to your MUI value, and copy to \Windows
@smog: could this be integrated into your app?
this is my first skin for this nice keyboard.
simply,copy and replace this two appendix zip files whit the same files in your
program files/spb keyboard/skins/kbd_skin.zip and kbd_skin_portrait.zip
it is necessary you exit (deactivate) your spb keyboard first.
I also changed its English and Persian layout to 4line,instead of default 5line layout
thanks mr sam
from mobilestan
thanks for you sam-2007
skin is nice..
