Adding a second input language (.dct request)

Hello,
I have an English HTC TyTn, as I prefer an English OS. The text input methods (e.g. transcriber) are also English but support additional dictionaries (default one is mywords.dct).
Is this file in the same format as the in-phone dictionary?
Can anyone upload a dictionary file for Dutch input and a file for French input (latter is less important to me)?
Either a custom file (like mywords.dct), or if the format is the same a dictionary file from a Dutch (and French) device.
Thanks!
Jorg

Perfect!
Thanks for those links (esp. the first one). Searches on google always lead me to translation dictionaries.
I have found 2 tools (DictMgr and DictEditor) to edit the onboard dictionaries, so I can easily add the words I need (it adds them automatically too).

hebrew encoding

hello all,
i'm lloking for a solution - i just bought a htc 4350 in germany -so it came with wm5 in the german language , when i'm connected with the wifi i can't see nothing with hebrew encoding, how can i solve it? is there a free hebrew package that i can install on my phone ?
thanks in advance -- fensi

I know of companies selling Hebrew support but I don't think there is a free solution.
The problem with languages like Hebrew and Arabic is that MS neglected to implement right-to-left writing mechanism in Windows Mobile. Doing that with 3rd party software is fairly complicated which is why I think so far only commercial products are available.
You can of course copy fonts from desktop windows to the windows folder on the device (don't forget to reset it afterwards) but you will see everything backwards.

LAnguages support

Hello, i'm looking for a way to install a languages support on my Qtek 9100 like windows. I need to read and write a lit a languages in my pocket pc. There is any ways ?

there is no way to modify the windows xp's languages support's DLLs ?

No official MUI packs available.
However depends on which language you want, there may be language support software available that let you view and enter that language.

YEs but i seen you have made on your own a traditional chinese support. 太酷啦哈哈. 你怎麼辦 ? Have you programmed DLL or what?

[Q] HTC Smartphone for localization - anyone interested ?

Anyone interested in HTC smartphone ? Built in WM6.5, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, microSD, etc...
In return need POLISH localization for smartphone (polish language). Actually phone has only english support.
We need POLISH POLSKI 0415 MUI files.
All the details will send to someone who is interested (phone model, original ROM WM6.5 to translate, this is non-touch screen device).
Thanks

Is it the same hTC Ozone that you were trying to translate a couple of months ago?
If so - I can try it.

HTC Ozone is almost fully translated by one person ... I have more phones to translate.

try you're looking for at melgurth or find at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1586293&postcount=73

I have listed a complete set of activities that you need to do for localization at the end of Beginners Guide to Windows Mobile (prepare for cooking). The various task's efforts vary quite much depending on the perfection of adaptation you want to achieve.
Especially the Settings Menu is very hard to translate due to its dependency on the system's generic provisioning handler (and related database entries for menu items).

Post is still OPEN
If anyone is interested in creating just CAB file with translated MUI files and registry entries of WM6.5 to PL POLISH POLSKI just let me know. In return will send smartphone.
I will send You the phone model to translate.

[Q] WP 8 keyboard on WP 7.8

Is it possible to have the WP 8 keyboard on Samsung Omnia 7 with WP 7.8?
I like the emoticons section of the new OS keyboard.

It's possibly to have dictionary from WP8 but I think nobody needs as much this WP8 emoticons to bring them here.

So, Can I get the Arabic keyboard from the WP8 to WP7.8? That will solve lots of problems

Oh, check Bazaar or Marketplace for that.
I'm Polish so I only updated my dictionary with file from WP8, from about 3mb to ~15, so there is a little difference

Hmmmm, Thanks for your answer, but I need more than that!
We, as right to left and connected-letters language script, are suffering from the:
1- Font (words are in seperated left to right letters).
2- No dictionary for words suggestion and correcting.
AND THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN SOLVED IN THE WP8
So I wonder if we can export language packs from WP8 and inject them into WP7.8
Thanks

The program alters Spanish or German system keyboard into one of the supported languages (see the list), or extends English keyboard. That will allow you to write text in your language anywhere in Windows Phone 7.
Starting from version 3.0 the application registers the keyboards in the system. So they are available under their own language switch.
