How to translate ROM's? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development

Im trying to know if is possible to "edit" roms and change some "strings" to the language that i want.If is possible to do that please indicate me a tutorial or manual to study and i will try to translate a WM6 rom from English to Portuguese based on old roms...
Sorry my bad english

Look for *.0409.mui in Windows directory, those are language files for corresponding dll/exe

I am trying to do the same
Is it possible to have 2 languages? For instance can I have .408.mui ?
Thanks!

As far as i understand it, you can not have two set-up, but i may be wrong.

I am 99.99% sure you can have multiple languages on one device, it is selected in the Registry.
Just search for 0409 and see where it pops up, DefaultLCID I think is the one.
Remember to choose the correct language code:
Portuguese (Brazil) 0416
Portuguese (Portugal) 0816

You need to translate all mui-Files, the html-Files and don't forget software- and hardware-keyboard.

is there any specific software that enables the editing or just a simple unicode text editor will do?

To edit a dll i guess we need a tool like VS2005 or something.But here we can find the source to compile dll??Or maybe we could use a simple editor...
Anyone with experience in this area?
Thnx in advance

you could have searched before creating a new post.... actually it's even on the first page..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305155

That link its almost written in german and only give a superficial idea how to do that...
Still looking for answers.

no, it's almost english and it' s the only called "guide for translating rom"!

Translating a ROM

Hi guys
As i've seen here there have been some ROM translations from chinese to english.
If it can be a public info can you explain how it is done if it is by HexEditing can you specify the best HexEditor for this purpose.
PS:I need to translate becouse WM2005 will never get out in my language.
Thanks

What about German...??
Phil's WM6 has german localisation (at least I'm running the beta and 99% of the menu text is in german). Maybe he could upload it separatly so people can use it for other roms.

Hi guys!
Great work about wm6!!! Great!
I'm looking for the upgrade method...now i'm 'on learning' mode...
But there're an italian translated version of Tornado WM6 (cooked), just inside in SO, or a simple addon?
Thanks!
WM6 emulator are not enough. The files contained in the emulator translate ~75% of the text. To achieve 100% translation, we need files in Vox's ROM.
I didn't manage to get my hands on a French VOX ROM. If someone has a dump, it would be very useful
@qtek_metanol i've extracted & packed the German localisation files from WM6 Alpha.
Sorry, no cab, so you have to do these manually:
- copy all the files from the zip archive to \Windows
- run a registry editor
- go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MUI\Available]
- add "0407"="German"
- go to system > regional settings > language
- choose German
- reboot
There are also windows live mui, you can delete them (those starting with WLM) if you don't use windows live.
@zati what's the language you are looking for? French is allready in the list according to neof

I'm the one who made the french language pack. It is not yet perfect because it lacks some files which can be found in Vox ROM.
ok, didn't know
French language files from HTC VOX SFR ROM.
Same instruction as in German localisation case. It differs only the country code that you have to add to MUI avaiable list.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MUI\Available]
"040c"="Français"
HTC VOX SFR ROM has the following languages:
"0410"="Italiano"
"0809"="UK English"
"040c"="Français"
"0409"="US English"
"0c0a"="Español"
"0413"="Nederlands"
"0407"="Deutsch"
If someone need one from this list, tell me

Great, exactly what I needed! Thanks.
Do you have mxip_lang.vol and mxipupdate_metabaselang_040C_001.provxml ? These files are related to localization and might contain extra strings compared to the ones provided in emulator.

just copy the missing files.. .
you can also try to overwrite, but for this you must switch the language (eg: to english). because if the file is in use, it cannot be overwritten
zati no problem. wait a few moments
edit: no mxip_lang.vol file. only mxip_system.vol & mxip_notify.vol ..
@ DSF

Hello,
please it is possible to extract a 2nd "German Pack" from the "VOX Rom"?
The first one from the "WM6 alpha Rom" translate not everythink in my Phone, i mean not the installt software in that Rom.
I´ve installt the "perfect english edition-V3"
Thanx and Greetings
Hi andibike,
i've attached the german localisation from vox .
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MUI\Available]
"0407"="Deutsch"
PS: not the entire software will be translated, don't expect that your shortcuts name (from start menu) will be translated too. for this you need to do extra work. (or manually or via cab.. maybe someone will take care of this aspect)
also there may be some stuff that are not translated (eg: error report).. because of different versions or because 'mui' is included in exe file..

T9 cab for english and german?

Hi
Since some day I have an Imate-SPL.
The only problem at the moment, I cant change the t9 language directly in the message-app.
When I install English t9-cab I just have English there and if I install german t9-cab just german.
I find a “t9 Greek-English.cab”, with this I can change the language directly (see picture below), but t is Greek/English and I need German/English.
1. Is there an cab for both languages?
2. If not, how can I modify the “t9 Greek-English.cab” for German/English?
3. Or is there an other way to change language directly in the message-app?
This is my first WM-Phone, so I am not so familiar with this now.
Thanks for your help.

Anyone can make a German language support package?

I have an english ROM but dont wanna flash the german ROM
just need a German language package to view or write sth in German.
Can somebody make this happen? for exampe a cab file...
Thanks a lot!
which rom you are on? in most cases you can change your sense-language to german with bsbtweaks, depending if the languagefiles are included in rom.
And you want to write something in german? Xt9 or what? just change your input-language to german.
actually i installed a software which is developed in German.
there are sth which could not be showed correctly in Germn.
I dont know why...maybe it is because of language missed?
Therefore I guess i should get a german langauge package
