Hi all,
First, I am sorry if the topic has been discussed before but I could not find relevant information here.
I have a SPV3000 from Orange France. I updated the ROM from French to English using Mr Clean AKU 2.3.
I tried to follow http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Changing_Device_Language
But it dit not work. It says:
For French layout (AZERTY):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 1036 (REG_SZ string)
First I used Total Commander to edit the Registry and I noticed key "Locale" did not exist. So I created a string called "Locale" with value = "1036".
Then I pushed the on/off button 5s to switch OFF and same again to switch ON the device. I checked the Registry again and the key is still there with the right value. Then, I opened Word and tried the keyboard but it is still QWERTY instead of AZERTY (I mean I get a Q when I type on the A letter on the keyboard).
Anyone can help?
I'm not sure but for the german layout I have the hex value in that registry value.
Which would in your case (french) be 040C maybe you give that a try.
Sorry i'll post in french...
Bonjour, j'ai fait la meme chose que toi. Grace au logiciel "HTC REGISTRY TWEAK" disponible sur XDA DEVELOPPER tu peux passer le clavier physique en Francais mais pas le clavier virtuel.
Telecharge ce soft http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39725
Lance "registery tweak"
Clique sur l'onglet "Tweaks2"
Coche "keyboard language"
Choisi "French"
Bon courage
yeah, it's easier to use a reg tweaking tool than manual editing
for what it's worth - the Wiki had an error.. it was using decimal numbers, but it should have been using hexadecimals. Wiki has been updated. Note that you still need to have it use a STRING value, not a DWORD.
Thx! You made my day! ;-)
Hi all,
Thank you for the advices. It used the updated code in Hexa with Total Commander. Worked perfectly.
Great!
I didn't get it.
Can anyone explains please how to change the language ? I don't find "Locale" too, where and what exactly should I change in the registry ? And is there a list of most languages and their Hexa or whatever needed to be added in registry ? Even the Asian languages too... I appreciate any comment.
Thomas - follow the link to the Wiki, it explains where to change what, and also offers a link to the MS page that has the full list of country and locale IDs.
If the "Locale" value doesn't exist - that's fine, just create a new one. Make sure it's of type REG_SZ STRING, or just plain STRING. Not "DWORD" or "BINARY" or anything like that.
Thanks so much ZeBoxx.
I followed the WiKi link, and did all this things, worked fine.
But is there a way to do so with the Soft Keyboard ? I man the keyboard that is in the WM5 itself and not the hardware keyboard ?
Thanks in Advance!
Hi,
I'm not familiar with using Resco Explorer for registry editing, I'm afraid... however, you mention you created a 'Locale' directory. This is incorrect. What you need to do is create a new value called 'Locale', with the actual value being the value you need for the hardware keyboard language of interest.
Perhaps somebody who uses Resco Explorer can give you more exact directions
Yes thanks alot man, I edited my previous post and was hoping to finish it before you read it , bcause I managed the right thing aftr my first post.
Anyway, as I edited my last post, I am asking for the same way to do with the soft keyboard, is that possible ?
Tanks in Advance!
Not via a regtweak that I'm aware of.. I think you need a different keyboard (driver) file for that. Or get a third party SIP that allows you to change the layout yourself.
Change soft keyboard...
My experience with soft keyboard is that it comes with the ROM you load... Would be nice to know which file defines it...
Hey guys,
Tried to add the value in the registry twice but after soft reset the value is gone and it does not work. Note I have french device with latest english rom and want to return to azerty hardware keyboard.
Thanks for your advice ...

You can change the order of the characters when using the Sym key!
I'm Norwegian, so I use ÆØÅ a lot!
Normally, I'd have to press "a" and then "Sym" 9 times to get "æ".
Now, I press "a" and "Sym" one time!
All you have to do is edit the "\Windows\sym.txt" file..
Here is the original one:

I guess you understand how to edit it?
I just moved "æ" from the end of the line, to the second place on the first line..
Now, I can't take credit for this..
I got it from Dangaard!
But I though I'd share it anyway, because Dangaard requires you to give a valid IMEI number to get such info from them..
Very nice find, comes in handy for the german umlaute too.
It's worth mentioning that this file is Unicode and must be edited with a Unicode capable editor. You can't do that on the device.
Before copying the new version you also need to remove the read only flag from the original file (And ignore all the Warnings about overwriting ROM files...)
Takk for det
Tnx.. and I think if you save a word doc with a norwegian dictionary the JasJar will be able to use that for spelling sugestions ?, someone tried this ??

SYM function for special Characters
Great Find!
I aften have to write in Portuguese which means I need ç, ã é à and all other odd characters. BUT, I have a question.
Can you just copy the SYM.TXT file from the device to your computer edit it and copy it back? Does file explorer grant you access to do that or does one need a special app to do that?
Cheers
You can use the normal file explorer on you pocket pc. Just copy the sym.txt to another name to edit it, then put it back in the windows folder under the sym.txt name. It will overwrite the original until you delete it, where you get the original settings back.
Thanks for a great tip! Is there perhaps some similar method for editing symbols on the on-screen keyboard?
Thanks a lot for this tuning.
I´ve one more question to symbols in documents like the german umlaute. I use the transcriber in my MDA pro. But its only the english language chooseable. Is there also any possibility to change this input program to german/greek...?

Many software are on net to scribe on screen whit special UNICODE letter (greek, rusian etc.). Good is "Kalamus" or something that name and look link on good resco scribe software:

Hi
I'm looking for a way to have dutch t9 on my Polaris. Currently I have only managed to instal a bunch of cab's and completely ruin my settings and need to reflash to correct the mistakes I have mad (installing a cab with language from Diamond). Could somebody who already succeeded help me with a step by step tutorial?
I don't have a step by step tutorial, but I would be interested in translating to dutch too. I saw this thread some time ago, but didn't have the time yet to try it out. Did you try that?
Try the gullum keyboards. There is an instruction, the only thing that won't work is the Touch keypad.
I changed 3 registry entries:
- HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\AvailableLanguages
I deleted some of them, got "0109, 010C, 0113" typed in it.
- HKLM\Software\HTC\ezsip\Librarycount
I changed it to "5", then I deleted the entries: Library5 to Library14 (Just everything from 5 up)
- HKLM\Software\HTC\ezsip\Library4
Changed the value to "8"
Go to input and change the t9 setting to the empty bar, et voila you have dutch T9
Good luck!
ps Don't know why I changed the entries, have been messing around a lot with entries to get T9 working and this is an old habit with which I got my T9 to work
Hi, use the gullum keys and the attachted t9 dictionary.
OK, thanks for your replies. I would like to grade it down into steps. Could you help me in understanding. I put the steps down here and lookinig for verification.
1. Acquire a cab with dutch dictionary. Is this rom/device/keyboard specific?
2. Change the registry to look for Dutch language on the device
3. Change the library count to be able to show dutch language here
4. What is the value change in library 4 for???
Help is much appreciated
greek keyboard still not, working (I think Russian too). right ?
anyone knows somithing different?
OK, Im still not there. Based on tweaks & tricks topic, kartus thread above and the current settings on other languages I made the following registry changes / additions. I installed the Gullum Dutch language CAB and now I have Dutch language by choosing the empty option. How do I get the empty box to show Dutch instead of being empty. Instead of just fixing it for now I would really like to do it a 100%

I would like to know that too, how to get the line 'Dutch' in it. And also how to get the diamond keypad to work.
Why not wait for a dutch rom?
I know some people are working on it.

hello guys,
the hardware keyboard on my i-mate K-JAM is QWERTZ but when i updated its ROM version it became QWERTY i.e. when i press z on my keyboard it displays y
and the other symbols too have messed up
pls help!
thanks in advance!
-Evil Eye
Maybe you got a wrong language rom from the one you had, try installing your old rom again.
If not it may be a hardware issue, maybe have a look for the keyboard mappers if there are any and remap your keyboard keys back to the way they were maybe.
Hope this helps.
Exemike
i sorted it out by Resco Registry Editor
i changed the string values of locale file to 0407
all done
if anyone wants to know a step-by-step method, i would be happy to help
thanks

unfortunately all those reg strings etc. doesnt work anymore. they (htc or ms) must have introduced a new reg string since built 20xxx.
I do have the same issue.
I've got english ROM but would like to be able to use some other dictionaries (in addition or instead of...) like norwegian and/or swedish.
I've been searching this forum for "add xt9 dictionary", also under other WM6.x devices like Diamond but have come up with nothing useful.
It seems like HTC Diamond and others use "eT9" dic's and the registry keys referred to does not exist in X1
HTC= HKLM\Software\Tegic\....
X1=HKLM\Software\XT9 Input Method\...).
The only regkey that exists in my X1 under XT9 Input Method is "IMEmode=0".
- Anyone with a swedish ROM that could check their registry settings here?
- Does anyone now of a way to add or change xT9 dictionary on X1?
- Anyone with a swedish ROM who could send/PM me the "mssp2.lex" file located on root in folder "Windows"?
I have the Swedish rom, i also only have IMEmode 0 there.
OK, if you have the swedish ROM you also have the swedish dictionary. Could you pls copy and PM or e-mail me the "mssp2.lex" located in folder "Windows"?
Anybody with a swedish ROM who could send me the "mssp2.lex" file located in folder Windows\ ??
If so, pls pm me and I´ll send you my e-mail address.

I'm not sure but this site might help you?
Thx for the reply but it did not hlp me solve the problem. The thread is not applicable for Xperia. Neither of the mentioned registry keys are on the Xperia.
However it did help me in realizing that the *.lex file would not solve my problem sinse it apparently is only applicable for spellchecking (?) and is not used for the predictive text input appearing when messaging (?).
...so the question is now back to what the thread says: how to change or add a xT9 dictionary to Xperia??
Looking through some other threads for other (HTC) devices on this forum most of them refer to a "...Tegic\eT9..." path in registry which also does not seam applicable for Xperia.
All I have in registry is HKLM\Software\XT9 Input Method\IMEmode = 0.
Which files controls xT9 ??
An up for this problem... I am unable to change the dictionary used by the hardware keyboard. Actually I have Jack ROM, but would like to use my own language dictionary... any useful idea?!?!
Hello XDA
I have just noticed that the "?" key (FN P) is not typing the ? but an ";". Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Fn P on my UK QWERTY X1 has ; on the keyboard. ? is at the bottom and doesn't need the Fn key.
Wierd,
Mine has the ? mark on the P key in blue. There must be a setting then for this somewhere in the OS
Austrian QUERTZ has the "?" on "Fn"+"P" and the ";" is "SHIFT"+","
Seems you have an English ROM installed but you would need a German one.
ok my keyboard is:
"?" on "Fn"+"P" the ";" is on "SHIFT"+"," the "+" is on "Fn"+"N". Any ideas
You have flashed UK rom on non UK device, that is your problem. Most of non UK X1 have localized keyboards and they will work ok only with org language rom. The only way for you is to find keyboard driver and swap it to your X1 orginal language.
Ok I just did a hard reset and it flashed itself. So I need to reload it somehow?

Are you kidding me?
Does not changing CurLang value work on X1?
Go to HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD and there find CurLang value. You need to open the file and change the 1033 to the value of your device. I do not have the values here, but they are on XDA, please search the forums for the answer.
Where is your device from?
I assume that Austrian and German layouts are the same.
Go to the key I posted above and change it to 1031, close your reg editor and there probably is not even soft reset needed...
EDIT: If that gives the wrong layout try 3079 after that. (I do not know of this code is supported)
Under the device settings it shows GENERIC_UK... Other then that no idea, I do know the manuals came in some other language.. so not sure.
Use registry editor program, like the free Total Commander and do as I posted earlier.

I just tested this and it does work. Changing CurLang to 1031 changes the layout to QWERTZ and "?" is under "P" etc... Soft reset needed after change.
People please use the SEARCH on the boards. All these type of problems most likely have been addressed in other devices.
Loco5150
I got total commander installed, where do I find the registry at? Currently I am seeing a directory listing.
go to \\plugins, there is registry folder...
Well we are close! now the z and the y keys are backwards. Any other numbers to try? Thanks!
Ok then your device is not with German layout?

Best thing would be that you find out what country your device is from, the booklets should give you that info...
I think that you have bought a device that had a English rom installed by the seller and he did the right localization for it. Now that you did a hard reset everything went back to the original rom setup.
This will be no problem when you find out where your device is from.
Does it have a carrier branding?
Ok it looks like the manuals are in Swedish Language... Viktig Information is written on the main manual.
Also
