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...

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.

Code:
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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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)

Hello guys,
I'm sorry if I post to wrong forum ...
I'm using Dutty's 29Apr ROM ,and I was missing Cyrillic keyboard on the dialpad (since you can search for english and Cyrillic contacts simultaneously ). So I manipulated the original files to display the Cyrillic letters. I don't know how to create .CAB file, so I'm attaching .ZIP archive.
Just connect your PPC with ActiveSync and replace the files in ROM.
I can provide the .PSD files if needed.
I would appreciate if someone can create cab files for them.
P.S. I hope that I did the Russian Keyboard right.

Господ да пази България !!!
Hello,
While I was trying to install polish language something went wrong.
Now when I'm using TouchInput I can't write letters in XT9 mode nor in ABC mode. I was changing files in Windows directory also exe ones.
I was wondering maybe someone has cab file which can overwrite and put files which are required by XT9 dictionary?
Btw. What is the difference between XT9 and eT9 those are two different dictionaries because both have got own exe files in Windows which start witch eT9... and xT9.
Hi all,
I'm looking for the default path of the Swype dictionary as I am getting tired of Swype having to re-learn my slang/nicknames/general texting habits.
I would like to copy the dictionary file so I can restore it when updating ROM's.
Thanks in advance,
jwchips
My Documents/Swype
