I don't like to install Cestar, so is there anyother way?
There is no default Chinese support in WM6 ROM built here. CE-Star is good choice to add Chinese support to WM6. Working good with SimOne and WM6 Brushed. Not working with S.V.I. and WizFlo. Hope this help.

Thank you, agan, but I use simplified chinese most of the time, I don't really use traditional chinese, so anyone know about the simplified chinese?

I don't think its problem of CE-Star. If you are using a custom built ROM, the problem might be the ROM. The SimOne & M2D Brushed are working fine with CE-Star.
If you install CESTAR, it will cost u 10M more, that's why I don't like installing it. Still looking for the other ways.
First,install a software called "FotgottenNationsNo5",about 2.32MB;
Then reastart,and select "Start Menu--Setting--System--Regional Settings" as "Chinese(People's Republic of China)";
Now,U can install the Chinese font as U like,From"3.39MB to 14.6MB",I prefer to install the one which is 3.39MB called"Chinese_WM5.cab"

So can the chinese fold name and file name display correctly?
I found the easiest way, downloaded one file call Ricky MSYH 6M ChineseSupport v1.1
but if u can read chinese, go to Ricky's website, u will have more choice for u. Try MSYH first, I installed the SIMSUN one, that didn't work.
I have the same problem as you. This is what I figure it out after trying several things.
You need to install a chinese font (*.ttf), so your device can read Chinese characters. This can be sunglobe, yahei or any other you can find here. If you just copy to your "windows" directory in the device and do a soft reset you will be able to read most of the files in Chinese. If you need suppport in all programs, you may need a real tweak also. This means changing some of the reg (HKLM with regedit or similar). Also there are some cab files that do it for you (install the font and do the register changes).
If you also want to write in chinese, you have to install a chinese input program this will allow you to write te character or use pinyin (like A4, PlumSIP or other).
At the end this is what CE Star and other programs do, install fonts and the input program, but also install many other thing you may not need.
Maybe you can look here:

Have you tried this ROM that includes Chinese support?

You may install "O2 Chinese Plus Fixed" into your device.Then your ppc can display simplified Chinese. It takes about 3M space.
i will try your method when i reach home, every time i install the chinese display software on my wm6.1 (atom exec),will make all the hard buttom lost their function!
why don't you try O2 Chinese Plus Fixed for your WM system
Hi All,
After weeks of struggling I build myself a nice 20924 XIP/SYS build rom (thnx to Anryl and others) and translated it into Dutch.
ROM boots without problems and rom has a nice snappy handling. So far so good. But...
I still have a few hickups/problems which I am trying to solve without any luck:
1) The green phone button does not open the phone function; the button does respond to touch because the button lights turn on when you press it.
I tried replacing phone/phonredist/redist modules but all without luck...
2) The contacts SOFT-key also does not respond. When I touch it the button flickers but nothing happends. I do have working contacts in PIM because when I start voice-dial I see all my contacts
Tried replacing all PIM*** modules and poutlook but no effect...
3) Everything is working fine in Dutch language but some small things keep being in other language by default:
- After hard reset message "the device is clearing the storage" is still in English not in dutch like in dutch official rom (not a big issue but I want my rom to perfect and I want to learn..)
- After hard reset clock default is +8 Beijing (want it to be +1 Amsterdam)
- Regional settings are English (Australia) so calender show in English...not dutch
4) I use exact same sdconfig file for UC. It starts, my own install screen appears. It starts running but after my xml files it does reset and none of the cab-files is installed...? I do not have a clue?
Any help would be much appreciated...
Let me know which modules or reg-keys I have to take a look at.
I changed metadata with files from working Dutch rom and also shellres.exe and shell32.dll....
Greetz Merten
p.s. When I sorted out all these problems I'll be more then willing to post this rom for my fellow Dutch kaiser owners....
little help
u need to change some modules from dutch build cause u got new modules from build 20924 but the mui files are dutch from older build
so u got 2 options compare the mui resources that u can find what mui are not working or change modules from older sys
for the phone u have to change phoneredist back to 19212 dutch modules
so the best thing by porting to other languages is port only the new xip and stay with old sys .
u can include into the old sys new programs like wmp 20924 or flash 3.1 from 20924 and so on.
Hello to everyone.
Please forgive me if you think that I'm not posting in the correct forum, but I think that posting in the general Sapphire forum would be more irrelevant.
I'm using Cyanogen's 4.0.4 ROM and I'm totally satisfied with it. I think he (with the help of many others) has done a great job, keep up the good work guys!
My only problem (and believe me it's a big problem for me) is that the HTC keyboard supports only the english language. I have tried many ROMs and some of them had other language support, but unfortunatelly I had others problems and had to drop them. So here I am with Cyanogen's ROM which I would be totally satisfied with, if I could use the HTC keyboard with my native language (Greek for my case).
I have tried everything, uninstalling and reinstalling HTC_IME.apk, HTC_IME.odex and libt9.so from JACxHERO's ROM that works with my language, with no success at all.
I assume that a lot of people like the HTC keyboard like me and would like to use it with their native language. So, if there is a solution and anyone knows it, I would really appreciate it to know.
Thank you in advance and again, keep up the good work!!!
I'm interested on the same issue. That's the only reason I keep using Hero ROMs.
I'm interested to...
Is there a way to add spanish language and T9 languages to the magics??? Like spanish for example?
This is the exact same reason why I'm still looking for an OS for my G2. Tons of kudos to whoever can tell us some about this.
+1 for me.
instead of installing other languages i wanna remove the damned chinese language in my htc magic..please help!!
you can try the following
I'm no expert guys but here is the command that activates Russian language in HTC.ime. It worked fine for me and English stays as a second language for the keyboard.
cd to the Tools folder within SDK and run the following command:
Code:
adb shell "echo ru > /data/property/persist.sys.language"
[code]
Then reboot the device.
Obviously you need to replace "ru" in above code by your respective language short name. Like "gr" would stand for Greek language I would imagine.
rubbish: thanks for your suggestion... but it doesn't work for me as far as HTC Keyboard (HTC_IME.apk) is concerned. I have French Canadian set on my device (i.e. fr set in persist.sys.language and CA set in persist.sys.country) and still, only English appears in the HTC Keyboard configuration panel.
I took a look at this page on the Android localisation topic, but find nothing really helpful to solve the problem with HTC Keyboard: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/web/localizing-android-apps-draft?version=10
As far as I know, HTC_IME.apk was intended to be used on Hero only, not on Magic. Having used Hero ROM for a couple of weeks' I can confirm that you can select any available languages for use with the HTC keyboard. So is there anything else missing (apart from libt9.so) from the Hero system stack in order to have the complete languages list on Magic?
edit
.........
so no news =( ???
All right, let's try the following method although it's going to be trial and error, you'll see why. It will only work for HTC-based firmware I think (Hero ROMs should be OK). I'm on the different firmware at the moment (SPFrance) and it worked fine adding Russian as 2nd language to the HTC keyboard. The method described in my previous post was really for the system locale (although it was adding 2nd keyboard input as well just fine).
You'll need to pull a system file called "com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml" from the device. To do that enter the following command from within tools folder of your SDK folder:
Code:
adb pull /data/data/com.htc.android.htcime/shared_prefs/com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml
[code]
This is one command, just copy and paste it. You should get the above mentioned file copied to your Tools folder. Then you need to edit it with Notepad. Now comes trial and error method. To add Russian you need to do the following:
Change: <string name="keyboard_language">0</string>
for: <string name="keyboard_language">6</string>
So it's a simple change of 1 figure (0 -> 6). The thing is I don't know (and couldn't find info) what figures are relevant for other languages. But there's no risk in trying, you can always push the original .xml file back to device. Try from 1 to 9 (missing 6 obviously unless you want Russian) and see how it turns out.
To push file back to device:
[code]
adb push com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml /data/data/com.htc.android.htcime/shared_prefs/com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml
[code]
This is again a single command. Reboot the device afterwards.
Good luck!

For spanish i could recommend an application called Better Keyboard, it is available though the market... it comes with english and spanish support... also has a language pack with some languages i don't remember ...
Great great tip Rubbish!!! I tried number 5 and I guessed portuguese right on first try! I was looking for this for months and couldn't find it anywhere.
Thanks again! You didn't save my life but will save me a lot of time typing
@rubbish You made my day!
Does this method works on Cyanogen's? Can anyone confirm it? I'm on a Hero ROM.

Yes, you should get it. I got Russian predictive and there's no reason for Spanish to work differently.
To all. If you succeeded with above method please post what number worked for your language. For now we know that 6 adds Russian and 5 - Portuguese.

To get English environment with (in my case) Czech prediction keyboard on 32A with CyanogenMod 4.0.4, I just set the phone locale to Czech (important step, doesn't work without it) using standard phone locale settings - which switches both the environment and predictive language to Czech (note that the keyboard preferences still only show English as the only visible language choice, but it's not actually selected - the list just doesn't show the other choices) then I change the /data/property/persist.sys.country file to contain CZ (that should really be capitalized) and reboot phone. Works like charm (tested on multiple wipes). You can of course do the exact opposite, too - have the keyboard language set to English and UI language to your preffered language.
Basically - the persist.sys.country file controls your regional locale (including keyboard prediction) - in uppercase characters - and the persist.sys.language file contains your UI messages locale - in lowercase characters.
Tryied it out with no succes... Everytime I change the number I got english again =(...
My phone is 100% english xD...
There should be another way to put it in spanish I think right????
I need to change the language of my XDA II smartphone from German to English.
Please help.
I need also to make my software installation permanent. Each time my phone resets, I lose my programs. Is there any way of making installed programs permanent?
flash it with an english rom thats the only way to change language
and if you go with wm5 and up then you can install the apps you don't want to use to the storage or sd card rather then ramdisk then it remain after a reset
read the wiki in the top bar and go looking in the himalaya rom forums for what suits you
Hi!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but it seems yust to work with German language. i can change the settings but they don't working. any idea how i get English working?
thx
ok i found it:
settings working when you activate language not over settings, but over keyboard by tap and hold "q"
when i do that... nothing happens, and when I turn swype On, it tells me that this package that i installed is configured for another device and will operate with limited functionality?? what it it about
my swype runs on a custom rom in French (040c) & 24001, I used the packages from the 2.10 rom

Hi all,
as i see this topic is pretty old.
I just want to describe how i made my Swype German.
It's basing on Swype-LordYuz-3.9.10.10.5032.CAB.
Rename the following files in Swype install folder:
SwypeEnglishUS.htm -> SwypeEnglishUS.htm_
SwypeEnglishUS.zdb.le -> SwypeEnglishUS.zdb.le_
or something else..
then:
SwypeGerman.htm -> SwypeEnglishUS.htm
SwypeGerman.zdb.le -> SwypeEnglishUS.zdb.le
Do a Softreset and check if it works.
Even though the settings show EN as language - mine is German and Umlauts work as well
PS.Italian or Spanish people should try it too, the relating files are located in the install folder.
Good luck and Greetz, Brush2
Can it works with greek language?
Hi noolis,
i am afraid it only works with the:
Swype.*Language name*.zdb.le files.
Since there is no
Swype.Greece.zdb.le
in the install folder there is no chance.
Sorry,
Greetz, Brush2
OK but what if one wants to have two or three different languages available. I write a lot in French but need sometimes to send some emails in English ... pressing and holding 'q' does not open any windows with available languages, which is strange as files are available within the installed swype package ...
