I see many threads on this forum regarding WM6 version in other language than english (ea. Italian, German, Spanish, etc.). Any one can help us (italian/german/spanish guys) to make a WM6 rom in ours language?
I see that on Tytn forum a french guy make a translation in french of WM6 using mui from emulator image.
I (We) need to know:
- how to exctract .mui file from emulator image? --> DONE! (see below)
- what .mui file we need from emulator image?
- what file need to be translated (ea. initflash/*.rgu) and how translate that?
- how add (where?) .mui file to a rom or rom kitchen?

How to dump the wm6 files
1- Dowload the images that you want here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=38c46aa8-1dd7-426f-a913-4f370a65a582&DisplayLang=en#filelist
Available languages are:
0404 CHT Chinese Traditional
0804 CHS Chinese Simplified
0405 CSY Czech
0406 DAN Danish
0413 NLD Dutch
0409 USA English
0407 GER German
0408 ELL Greek
040b FIN Finnish
040c FRA French
040e HUN Hungarian
0410 ITA Italian
0411 JPN Japanese
0412 KOR Korean
0414 NOR Norwegian
0415 PLK Polish
0416 PTB Portuguese Brazil
0816 PTG Portuguese Portugal
0418 ROM Romanian
0419 RUS Russian
041b SKY Slovak
0c0a ESN Spanish
041d SVE Swedish
041f TRK Turkish
2- Install them in your computer.
3- Take the image that you want from the installation folder.
For example, if you have downloaded the images for NLD language look in the folder "C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\PocketPC\Deviceemulation\0413":
The image for Hermes is: PPC_NLD_GSM_VR.BIN (I'm not 100% sure)
- Download Tadzio's imgfs excelent tools in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298327
- Unzip the tools along with the image in any folder.
- Rename the image to A.BIN (to make the next commands easier to type).
- Open a D.O.S. command window and perform these commands:
> NBSPLIT -emu A.BIN
(it generates two files: A.BIN.EXTRA and A.BIN.PAYLOAD)
> IMGFSFROMNB A.BIN.PAYLOAD IMGFS.BIN
(it generates the file IMGFS.BIN)
> IMGFSTODUMP IMGFS.BIN
And that's all. Files are dumped in /Dump directory
Any help is apprecieted.
Any one can make a simple "how to" to start the translation project?
I hope that with some help I (We) can make WM6 rom in other languange...
Slump
same here, there is no prob. 2 extract lang dependant files. U will need all Lang packages from emulator ( ...Lang_0409 or your language code) so at the en U have folders like OEM_Lang_0409, Phone_Lang_0409 .... (0409=WWE) Next step is initflashes.dat (in OEM_Lang_XXXX) and *.rgu files. Here i'm stuck. DOnt know how.
After that u simply replace packages in rom dump and compile rom.
I don't have any experience with the technical stuff that you're telling. But I want to help you by doing the dutch translation.
If you gave me the files I need to translate I will do it.

For start : I didn't do this yet, or at least not this way.
Now, in the following days i will try and do it too and if i succede I will provide you guys the full step by step tutorial, because so many have already requested it and it's driving me nuts already
I wouldn't want the OS in my native language ...but hey, it's a test and i love tests.
I am thinking that this is the easy way to do it :
1. get ahold of the .mui files for your language
2. get a rom of your choice
3. rename your .mui files so that you can replace the ones in the rom (not necessarily)
4. edit carefully the iniflashfiles.dat (just save, last line blank an delete first 2 bytes FF FE with winhex)
5. edit the .hv files - > this is a pain in the ass because all directions to
windows\program files\...for example...should be changed acording to your language or they won't work
I guess you should edit the :
6. boot.rgu and boot.hv also because they also contain directions to original language system paths - theese files are in XIP
and that should be it ... if i didn't missed any parts

Ciao Slump
I tried to make a german one.
I copied all mui files from terra dump - sys and oem folder - and renamed it to 0409 - so i don´t have to change all registry settings.
But without editing the rgu (.hv) files it doesn´t boot.
SO like anichillus say - you will have to edit the boor.rgu also.
Big projekt.
I work in the moment on the same!
WWE means World Wide Edition :-> but the most time it is in English, only some Smartphones have all Language!!!
My way to see the different betwen any Language are:
Extract any examples of simulare Roms! The easyest way are the Microsoft Rom Images from Emulator with tadzio's tools.
Compare the Dump Folder -> you see all different rgu dsm mui and dll files! Yes you read right! MUI and RGU are not enough!
Compare all Registry Hives -> you found a lot of different entrys and you can see, some Programs need Regkeys to switch to a other Language. The Basic switching are over MUILang= key.
Some RGU Files have different settings.
Here the different in the Registry Hives!
Here the different in the Dump Folder!
My Problem is in the moment ... i cant create my own working Emulator Image! Some troubles if i want build the working Rom. But to develope is the Emulator the best way! Its the only way to have a debug screen and you can see missing files etc ... :-/
Next Problem ... if i insert the different files in a Prophet Rom ... some settins are missing -> Stuck at Splace Screen 2 and ... no ... initfiles.dat is not wrong :-( i have try some different way to test my files ... use a working rom and copy over activsync the new files (this work) after that i change the MUI settings in the registry -> reboot -> stuck an Splace screen 2 after set the MUI settings :-/
Next Rom i use a Example are Roms from Startrek. They can switch betwen 8 languages. This is my goal! To create a Rom Based an the switching future from Startrek and store all language in the ext_rom. But in the moment ... i think its imposible. Some cooking tools can extract a emulator rom image but cant build a new on and the next point is the debuging port to see errors. without them its impossible to create a working rom ........... ARGL HAR GRRR ZZZOOOOTTTTTT

what exactly you are trying to say.. what needs to be intact in boot.rgu?
hex edit may help?
i can imagine, that mui needs to be edited, somed .rgu's and hexes in some programms and OS dlls.. What else?
I cant understand why using emu files....to find complete method without many flashes of machine?
im working...
Im working on a ESN 6.5 rom...
based on a stock (and some things stolen from the "moonspell" esn :$ wanna thank the creator of the moonspell)
the point is...
the links from the oem apps are broken, just rapidshare one is wornkig...
bur rapidshare sucks.
almost 20 minutes to download a 50 mb rar. ¿WTF?.
Ah! i almost forgot...

Hey guys.
I got a kitchen and dump all the files from my 80040000-OS.nb.
And now i want to translate the hole rom to sample-chinese, how can i do that?
I saw an article from here, it said i can download the emulator file from microsoft, and change all the language file name to 0409, then copy them to my dump folder.
But i didn't want to do that, i want to still keep the language file name like 0804. What will i do? Modify the default.hv and user.hv? Or some other way i can do?
I just want to translate my rom to sample-chinese use 0804 file not 0409 file, can somebody help me?
anybody can answer my question ?
Get all the mui files for your language (may be from emulator but be sure to have right build). hv files will have the language settings. Convert the hv files to rgu and search them through for language settings. You may need to search through each line in the rgu. Then convert the rgu back to hv and use them along with the mui files (can delete the ENU mui files).
This is not impossible but will need lot of patience and testing time. Good Luck
only edit .hv files and replace the mui files is ok ?
need other thins to do ?
Or somebody can give me anohter way to translate my rom ?

Hi I have installed a new ROM on my S710, but it is without danish xT9, and cannot find it anywhere. I though have the nordic ROM file on my computer, so how can I extract the xT9 from that?
Just follow the WIki on dumping/extracting the ROM until you have the OEM and SYS folder. Then go to OEM\OEMAPPS\ and get eT9.Danish.Ldb.dll and eT9.Dis.9Keys.Danish.Kbd.dll and maybe eT9.Vox.0401.kmap.txt (only if Danish has it's own layout) where 0401 has to be the Dutch layout (don't know the number, but 0809 and 0401 is English and 0407 is German and so on). And then you will need a registry key, I'll provide...
You will find a lot of info here on how to add the dictionnary once you have exctrated it.
To extract the rom you can get my kitchen.
First you must get the nbh from your Ruu_vox_htx ..... exe You can extract the nbh with winrar for example.
Then in the extract folder of my kitchen start 1.Dutty.NBH.tool and decompile the nbh. Then place Os.nb in the ROM folder of the kitchen. Rename it 04_OS.nb if it is not already named like that.
Now you need to run 2.ExtractROM.bat from the Extract folder.
That's a good start.
Good luck
Wooops, you beat me to it
These are the registry keys you have to change/add:
change (add 0106 (the Danish one) to the existing values with a ,):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9]
"AvailableLanguages"="0109,010C,0107E"
add:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\LdbDlls]
"0406"="eT9.Danish.Ldb.dll"
add:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\IME\KdbDlls]
"00010606"="eT9.Dis.9Keys.Danish.Kbd.dll"
Danish is 0406 I hope it' 0106 and 00010606 but I can't be sure, you can look it up in the ROM you have!
Wow nice, thanks you both for your help, will try it right away ...
Have tried now several times, but cannot extract the 04_OS.nb, it simply just moves the file to C:\temp dir, but does not extract the file, what am I doing wrong?
BTW Have put the Vox Kitchen on C:\Vox Kitchen, but still I have to put the ROM in C:\ROM, will not work with the ROM folder in Vox Kitchen?
I have extract language 0804 from China Mobile ROM and sort it into OEM and SYS, however, there is no "Language_Simplified Chinese" folder under OEM, hence, when I try to cook my own ROM, I can't find Chinese options.
Can any one let me know how to build the the folder "Language_Simplified Chinese" and make the options visible?
Thanks in advance!
There is no such folder in the original ROMs, you have to create one. Look at the other language packs (are you using the language kitchen for new guava or the vox kitchen 0.3??). There you should find a .dsm and a .rgu (rgu s are hidden) and a option.xml. Just copy them to your "Language_Simplified Chinese" folder and then rename the dsm and rgu to ce2bca2e-da07-4123-9e20-87dc3dcf032c.dsm and ce2bca2e-da07-4123-9e20-87dc3dcf032c.rgu Then go into the option xml, there you will find a line with the former name of the rgu change it to ce2bca2e-da07-4123-9e20-87dc3dcf032c . Also change the line for the name to Chinese.. Then you have to go into the rgu (with editor) there you have to change all the language codes to the code for Chinese, but only change the codes for the former language, because English has to stay in, English is either 0409 or 0809!
Many thanks.
Yes, I am using kitchen to cook the rom. However, when I try to build the rom, it reports an error that "temp\dump\mixpcold_smartphon_1.provxml" already exist.
Then what can I do?
Search for the file, it should be in the ROM twice somewhere in the sys or oem folder, delete one, if it is in an oem package delete that not the one in sys.
Thanks again.
I have successfully build the rom and flash to the Vox, but the display just squares, neither Chinese nor English.
Can you please tell?
Hm, can you upload all your language files, just zip and attach them, I'll see what I can do!
Great appreciate your help.
I've uploaded file in /Smartphone/Vox/Vox Kitchen 0.3/languages/
Please check it.
Do you have a Chinese keyboard layout or is it a normal English qwerty? Maybe I have found your mistake! I'll upload once you have told me about the keyboard!
It is normal English Keyboard.
OK I am uploading, wait 5 minutes and it's done! Again I don't know if it'll work at all, because it is not from the same ROM version!
It's done!

Any way, more than thanks.
One more question.
I have dumped the original rom into three raw files. Can I flash this files back? If so, How?
I am sorry I don't know. Nobody here has tried it and reported back, but people keep asking it. It should (!) work when you just extract it to OEM and SYS folder, place that in the kitchen and run it, but as I said I don't know if it works!
I think a raw file (or was it a bin ?) can also be directly flashed with pdocwrite.exe but I have never tried that. Search for it on the forum or with google and be cautious with it.
Please report here if you are succesfull
Yeah, because if it works we could write a Wiki article. Did the new language pack work?
Unfortunately, it is not work.
Any more ways to help me out?
What I guess it because of wince.nls file. It it Chinese support file. I can find it after flash, but I can't find in folders before I cook them. Do you have any idea?
Hi all,
I would like to translate all the Operative System (Windows Mobile 5 or 6) to another language than the one that I have. for instance from English to Swedish.
I have been reading in this site loads of comments related to this subject and I thought I was gonna be able to do it, but at the end by now I have a defeat
The idea is NOT creating a new ROM, just a cab file which would be able to change the language.
things I have tried and I think are neccesary to do:
1) Change in the registry the values related to the language, for instace
2) Edit the .mui files. HERE I HAVE PROBLEMS as i am able to edit them (with Reshacker for instace), modify them, save them.
-> They are ignored by the OS
after that I thought I had to sin them so i did ot with signtool an the certificates that you have with VisualStudio...however they are ignores as well
---> ¿whish is the exact process I have to do with the mui files??
3) i think if I were able to create the proper muis, I would be able to "overwrite" the ROM with the command FORCEDELETE inside of the xml/cab
thank you very much in advance
As read a lot of ROM cooking threads here, I can't find some details on how to cook a ROM to different language.
I tried to replace all the .0409.MUI folders/files with different language packs such as .0804.MUI, replace wince.nls, re-build default.hv and user.hv, modified initflashfiles.dat, then cooked.
but never lucky, it always stopped on the first boot screen after flahshed.
Could somebody give me some suggestions or is there a tutorial on it?
Thank you in advance!
you should modify boot.hv and boot.rgu in ROM\XIP folder. it may be help also, check .rgu files in MUI folders. Good cooking!!!

The best and also the easiest way is to download the original Chinish and dump it... then use all the Land folder from the sys folder and replace them in the cooked rom you like to change. you will also need the OEM_Lang from chinish version. the wince.nls is also needed from the Chinish version or it wan't display any chinish letters.
It's quite easy if the rom you wan't to change language of is fully dumpable ( not removed the rgu and made the dsm as one file)
this method should work for any language

Thanks for your remind.
but unfortunately HTC never released China simplified language version for Kaiser but traditional chinese, this is why I wanna customized my own language ROM version by replace some MUI files.
There are quite a few chinese kaiser kitchens around at those chinese sites.
I just converted the newest HTC-lite rom to a working CHS kitchen last night. Just be patient, check all the necessary rgu files, devote some time. Try and error.
