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

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
hi there.
im from germany and i would like to help.
Anything what I can do to make it work?
keep on going, great work

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...
thanks for the "how to" and the "ordered" steps in the kitchen...
just amazing.
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!

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 am not a manila guru.. and this is my first dive in to the manila naming ocean...
I started this thread when some person that i asked for the filenames to have Greek language
in the documents tab he refuse to tell me EVEN the filenames.
So when i figure out how it works i deside to put together this Howto for other people.
This is a tutorial, a howto find the manila file names for the varius language,apps and tabs.
You will need
a) ManilaHASH.exe
b) Manilafiles.txt
Files are provided in the end of this post.
In his tutorial we will try to find the manila files and filenames to have the document tab in
Greek Language.
The same way works for any tab and any language...
So lets start.
The manila files that holds all the strings are the xml ones...
1. Open the manilafiles.txt in a text editor you will see lines like this one
5bb3a45f_manila \windows\htc\album\assets\images\btn_camera_press.qtc
The first part its the actual filename.(You will find that file in the windows folder)
The second one its a virtual path that refers to that filename.
(I dont know how and why they just are linked and the manilahash app use this to produce the
actual filenames.)
Lets find now the filenames for the document tab.
2. Search the Manilafiles.txt file for the string 'document' and when you find the first instance
scrool down to find the lines with the xml files
in our case the lines are :
35bfc9f0_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\docicons.en-us.xml
4e4ebb4e_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\documentexplorer.en-us.xml
43326f20_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\documentexplorerbrowse.en-us.xml
4db93f9f_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\documentexplorersettings.en-us.xml
1a93e5c6_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\expandeddocument.en-us.xml
The first part of those lines is the actual filename.
Those are the files that we need to find them in the \windows folder of the device and copy
them for editing. So find them and copy them from the device to your pc.
Before go to the next step, lest do a test now just to see how the manilahash.exe and the manila
naming works.
3. Open the manilahash.exe and copy and paste the "\windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\docicons.en-us.xml"
to the manila file path textbox.
Then press the "get manila" button ... you will get the 35bfc9f0_manila witch is refered in our text file.
The same goes for the others files... just check them.
4. Now lets go for the other language - the greek
In the filepath for the first file "\windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\docicons.en-us.xml" change
the language code from en-us to el-gr the greek language code, and now the path string its like this :
"\windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\el-gr\docicons.el-gr.xml".
(Here you can find all the language codes to letters for each of the 2 parts, the Primary language and Sublanguage)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms776294.aspx
5. Copy this to the manila file path textbox of manilahash.exe app and press getmanila to get the name
of the file for the greek language witch is this: 7139AFEE_manila.
So now copy the file 35bfc9f0_manila and rename it to 7139AFEE_manila.
Follow the same procedure for all the files.
The open the all files with a text editor and change the first line the string en-us to el-gr and save.
Transfer all the files to \windows folder of your device and after a softreset you will have greek (or any other lang
in the document tab.
The procedure is generaly the same for any other set of files or tabs... and for any language...
I dont now if the text file with the names covers all the manila files... i did some try and find attemps
and all the files where there.
If i can help you with your search just post the question here.
Thanks to metlwater, he was the first that answer my question about manila file names in the facebook tab
greek translation.

I just read this today, very useful! Any idea how this works for custom tabs?
Cheers for any pointers.
Hola Colossus ;-)
I know this thread isn´t "warm" anymore, but doing some research for "FullThemSwitch" witch CHTS (or manually ) I stumbled across this one
Guess we both encountered the same "attitude" when asking "certain" people for information , guess not everybody is into sharing knowledge - since information is power At last let me also congratulate you, because you actually "practice what you preach" Love your signature
I'd all but forgotten about this thread and there was no thankyou meter last time I posted. So, your thankyou meter just went up by one.
Without you I wouldn't have been able to find out which manila files to have translated, for those wanting other localisations of my ROM series.
Cheers again!
THX great work (ευχαριστω)

Thanks a lot my friend. May i ask you something - My documents tab <bar> at the top of the screen is empty without writing <Documents> (from the begining). Do you know perhaps how or what file makes it appears again? I have an HD2 with the latest Greek Rom.
Interesting informations, I think you are a manila guru!!
I have installed ROM Yardie on my Mozart and wanted to use a *.CAB file to change the language to Czech. I found this file in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248799
Unfortunatelly it has some bugs (WI-FI menu, keyboard menu, phone,...)
Is it possible to repair this file? It would be very useful
Thanks
You should ask the OP for a file remake
