NOKIA freak asked me!
"Can you swtich the UI Language on WM5 ?"
Of course i proudly said to him "YES" !!
My Sleepless Battle has began at that night!!
Now i almost made that!
@Use "Autoconfig" to load reistry cab files which need to localize from ExtROM.
@Shellress.dll.xxxxx.mui in all languages can share one set of "Shell Folders"
and Subfolders of My Documents.
So you can use same applications before and after switch Language,
Also your documents are same place in My Documnets.
@now testing to add sets of mui for 3 kinds of different languages on ROM,
This means 4 kinds of languages can be swithched with mui in rom.
Tried to inject 5th mui sets,,,,,,ROM had been crash!
Japanese,English, Simple Chinese and Trad Chinese MUI are in ROM.
and the 5th mui German is on RAM,,,That is my test ROM.
But not included Input system, just use SIP of Defaul OS.
4 x languages MUI in the ROM, 5th and more MUI sets on the RAM <If you need>
this test was use the Japanese Inter face mainly, so just use for my self.
I am plannning to make Chinase ROM it can be switched CHS to CHT, also CHT to CHS.
Then also try to make another european languages version, if someone need.
French & German,,,Italian,,,or some,,,,but should be used existing MUI.
<But not for the commercial use!!!>
Dose anyone interestiing in this and work together???
Following captures are not from different ROM, just one ROM!
Where's that app please?
sorry this is not stand alone application.
must be come with edited rom.
mine was not complited and not for european.
so i say if aomeone want to make europiean, i can work with.
of course we can make stand alone application, bu it will need much ram space,
one set of mui and language pack need 2MB.
if u dont afraid about ram space,
i will make stand alone applicaton.
d u need? and what language u need?
Maybe you could share how you did it?
I'm pretty sure you'd be able to do this in RAM too
Very nice Asukal , look forward and wait you finish it

CPL_CHT.cab,CHT_Notifi_COM_BT.cab ?
Thanks
To, Mr,Wang
the cabs you mentions are just registries,
of course if add anther cab which contain MUI files to this Program,
Possible i think,
i will make such like a Cabs with German MUI files for following replay
---
To
TheBlasphemer
and jmdrizen
ya, of course it can be from RAM,,,,my German Inter face is came from RAM i said,,,,
OK,,,,
very easy,
just put the mui into windows folder,
and make Swithcer to sintall cab files to change the value of Registry,
one idea!
all of registry and mui for one languages into one cab,,,
but this case, RAM will wast space double!
space for contain the MUI and CAB
and space for the copied resources in the WIndows folder.
any way, i tried to make for cab,,, to use on RAM.
i attached files to test;
ftp://[email protected]/Universal/UISwitcher_ENG_Ger_test.zip
German mui is in this CAB, Eglish mui is not here,
so pls test this on English device.
make cabs loacte in Temp foder, and once selct Language,
Language Swither will make those CABs install automaticaly.
@@Extract "UISwitcher_ENG_Ger_test.zip"
@@find folder named "To_Temp_folder"
Pls lacate all CABs to Root\Temp\
@@Find UISwitcher_ENG_Ger_test.cab
Excute UISwitcher_ENG_Ger_test.cab on device,
and go to Program, the excute Language Switcher.exe.
then select German <english is for recover to Original.
No English MUI in here.Only test to change German UI.
@@German_Registry folder.
This is the registries for your refference, what i have done.
No need import those, cabs in Temp have those already.
anyway, this is just testing for you.
I am plannning make it easier setp.
If mui are in ROM..i already compleate steps very easy.
@for your refference
following is Config of Switcher which will copy to windows automaticaly.
and containts of each CAB

i am still working for this! dont care nobay interesting in this!!
now i got idea to install cab with Languages mui and registry from Storage card(SD), :lol: :lol:
at the same time,,,,previouse Locallized languages MUI will be deleted from windows file
on RAM.
this should not be wasted presiouce RAM Space,,,
only One addtional set of MUI and Hlp files are on RAM.
<but MUI and Help files on the RAM which is the originla Language of OS
, it can not delete>
-----------------------------------------------------------------
@To enable the Pass of Directry of "Storage Card" by Autconfig.txt,
Rename "Storage Card" to "Storage_Card".
this also make change with CAB file automaticaly....
To be change automaticly,,you write this cab name on
Atutoconfig.txt
Rename the Storage Card following registry:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory]
"Folder"="Storage_Card"
"Name"="SD Memory Card"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
@to delete Previouse intsall mui and help files when you change language
again,
Write following Registry in to the CAB file for each MUI set.
System misunderstand and detect "about to install same Application in system".
and uninstall Previouse one automaticaly in Back Ground.
this is leraned from HTCs CAB, name of Softwoare can be as yours!
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Asukal\Dark]
"Ver"="1.0"
-------------------------------------------------------------------
@So,, to read MUI cab from Storage_Card,, write like following on Autoconfig.ext\
[German]
CAB: \Extended_ROM2\Ger_Today_113.cab
CAB: \Extended_ROM2\CPL_Ger.cab
CAB: \Extended_ROM2\Ger_Notifi_COM_BT.cab
CAB: \Extended_ROM2\GER_SMS.cab
CAB: \Storage_Card\Uni_130_GER_mui_Tool.cab
RST: Reset
[Italy]
CAB: \Extended_ROM2\ITA_MUI.cab
CAB: \Extended_ROM2\ITA_Today_113.cab
CAB: \Extended_ROM2\CPL_ITA.cab
CAB: \Storage_Card\Uni_130_ITA_mui_Tool.cab
RST: Reset
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Now itested 2 languages from SD card,,,German and Italy,,,also Base Language English come with ROM.
and got work!
This systme is not organized and so it seems so complicate,
But i will make this organize and very simple system soon! 8)
PLS looking forward to me!
i can not write programs and dont know C+ or some,
so i am useing this way,,,
I'm watching with interest and appreciate what you are doing.
Apparently it seems that you are only working on languages with left to right.
I'd be more interested if somehow you could make the hardware keyboard work with arabic
W-Zero 3
So... If I am right with your outility now I can buy for example the W-Zero 3 of Sharp in Japanese languaje and use it in inglish or spanish? or just for universal??
thanks guys,,,glad to hear from you!
@ady
Arabian; i am quite stranger of that,,,and no idea,
if you have interesting in that, hope you can do the parts of Arabian.
And now i dont touch any drivers aslso dorivers in registry.
Just change the inter face Language and keep system to be original english.
@JeromeMorrow
now i making resources of Languages for Universal,
And some Original Appli & Setting Menu in Zero3 is not here,
Of cource you make their MUI in English, it will be possible.
But as i told above, still system will keep as default,
so
you must make Shell Folders in English or your language.
Example;;;;;
"Start Menu" and "Program Menu",,,On Zero3 it was Japanese one now,
Key board and SIP is just keep default,
i also not work for ths SIP at this moment.
(To adaptation of SIP from another language,, my long terms work, since
ppc2002 age. but still can not)
and,,,,,Zero3 has no GSM function,,may be you know,,
just has a PHS Phone System just uniqe system in japan.
You can not call in GPRS world with this
Initial version of UI Language Switcher is here to try
Now i am proud to intruduce,,,i made it!
My UI Language Switcher <non Asian> is here to you!
<SD Card installation Version Release1.00>
------------------------
*Supported OS and Device
------------------------
Universal Qtek 1.30 ROM version or compatible OS rom.
Use on English device, i didnt test on other Language OS.
But ON the Universal with DIY Japanese OS was worked
*Languages you can select
@WWE English as Original OS device
@German
@French
@Italy
-------------------------
*What can you get from this
------------------------
@You can switch UI Language from any to any languagese as your want & when you want to.
You can access to programs which you installed before and after switch
UI languages.
@All interface and very very most of registries can be localized to above languages.
i can not say all registries,,,,,,it will be very very hard work if i will do it.
But only very miner parts of registries are not changed to your languages.
you have very few chance to find and see "Not Localized Menu or Dialog."
@Help files and Template also change language.
But Shell Folders, and names of Sortcuts of Programs are English
and Templates folders also.
you can share to use amoung any UI languages.
Localized Office Templates documents are in the Template folder
@Each Languagse sources are using 1.3MB or some.
When you swithced to other languages,,,previouse sources will be deleted
and keep this size of usage.
------------------------
*Usage <how to>
------------------------
1; DL the archive here. named "UI_Switch_TEST.rar"
ftp://[email protected]/Universal/UI_Switch_TEST.rar
<5.5MB total for 4 languages>

@Place the "Asukal_Tool" folder on to SD card all with subfolders above
@Tap the "Language Switcher.cab" and procceed intallation.
@Make soft rest
<Remane Storage Card to Strage_Card automaticaly>
@Go Start Menu---Programs and find "UI Language Selector" icon and tap that.
@Only 1st time you use this, select "Initialize to Active" from list,
Installation is procceeding on back ground, then windows will be closed,
---3 cabs in Subfolder "Dark" are used in this step
@Open UI Language Selector again, then select language you disire.
@Just wait till it say <Need Reset?>, just wait.
Tap "Yes" and deveice will reboot itself.
@Now you can boot with your favorite language,
*************************************************
This system can only switch the UI Languages,
not change the OS system or OS Kernel languages,
So SIP <INPUT SYUTEM> is still keep original one,
even you switched to another languages.
Also Keyboard rayout is keeping original, not changed,
now still on my trial,,,, may be it will be better soon!
PLS try and test.
Asukaly yours!
possiblity of unkown problems there
PLS try as your own risk.
This system on other device like a Zero3
JeromeMorrow>>>
i tested this one on Zero3
it works to only the OS parts,
i meant OEM applications and the other Zero3's unique parts can not
change language.
To change the language in OEM application,i must make it english or other languge version,
also shell folder is missing
(you can conect PC and make new folders, or rename the Japanese Shell folders to english one, like "Start Menu" "Programs" "Settings". it easy to spve)
Any way, the step and way is the same. just need modify a little.
But we can use this way to onother HTC device also.
See capture

Hi all,
I am newbie to this forum. I got a O2xda neo mobile recently.
Rom Version: 2.9.4.30 GER
CPU: OMAP850.
OS: WM 5.0
I would like to change the language pack from German to English.
After reading this thread i felt Asukal solution might work for me. Please correct if i am wrong.
Can some one or Admin please give me the rights to download (ftp://[email protected]/Universal/UI_Switch_TEST.rar) this file.
Many thanks in Advance.
Cheers
Jai
hi!
i made this test system to use on the English device.
so currentry,,,english resources will be used from in OS rom,
Thus means resources for english are not enough in this files.
i dont think this will work on another Language OS, and nor another deved,,,just for for the Universal.
But if you want to try,,do not mind,pls do.
i tried on japanese device and work some of them.
But u must make Shell folders in english name before use this..
Other wise you can not access any programs or setings.
You can dl after you register as a use in this forum.
Hi guys, I just wanted to let you know that I have managed to translate 99% of all the WM5 interface to English or almost any language. The secret has been found long time ago by our friend Asukal: http://asukal.net/blog/
Some things like the battery panel, the soft keys on the Communication Manager are missing and others are not translated, maybe somebody can tell us how can we complete this work on the Athena.
Instructions:
1) Install ENG_mui.cab or any other desired language. Don't install ENG_Notifi_COM_BT or any other since they will change some settings.
2) Now you will notice that the Start Menu doesn't exist anymore! So go with the help of your keyboard to the File Explorer, go to /Windows and look for the folder on the Old Language that contains the Start Menu Folder, now rename it to: Start Menu. Then inside rename the folder that contains the Links to your programs to Programs and Create or Rename a Folder called Settings. All of them should be inside /Windows/Start Menu
The original work was made by our friend Asukal. Thank you very much for your hard work! And you can view the original post for the HTC Universal and the Languages Pack at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=267541&page=2
you can download all the CAB's that Asukal made with a lot of different languages (some of them are not finisihed) at: http://buzzdev.net/components/com_s...les/UI_LNG_SWT_beta_20060629193323_Asukal.rar
Feel free to ask me any question, I will try to do my best!
I will try to post some screen shots later...

Thank you so much for sharing this information with us, good news !
Camera stopped working
The tweak works nice but camera application could not start. Will check further later. Meanwhile I have restored backup
I solved this by replacing /Windows/Camera.exe with one of the Camera.exe.* which size is 404 KBytes. Sorry but I can't remember the exact name.

where did you get the camera files from?
I got them from my /Windows directory they have been renamed by Asukal's translator. They have the extension: *.0404.mui
So the original file of Camera.exe (the one in Chinnese) has been renamed to Camera.exe.0404.mui, so once Asukal's CAB has been installed, rename Camera.exed to Camera.exe.old and rename Camera.exe.0404.mui to Camera.exe
In fact once you rename the working Camera.exe you will find a different Icon, like more "fashion". Hahaha!

Camera working now
I have the camera working now
I followed the instructions above, but before the procedure I created a folder on the storage card and copied all the file in the windows folder named camera for preservation
NB: I INSTALLED THE TWO CABS TO THE STORAGE CARD
ALL COPYING AND RE-NAMING WAS DONE WITH TOTAL COMMANDER
1. Ran the Language switcher cab and do a soft re-set.
2. May not be needed, but I started the switcher application and changed the language to English. Nothing changed of course
3. Installed the English mui and clicked ok for reset.
4. Copied all the camera files (4 of them, counting in Camera.exe.0413) to the Windows folder of device
5. Copied all content of the Windows sub-folders Start Menu and Programs from the old language Dutch in my case, to the new English folders.
6. Did same as in 5. for all the folders I wanted to re-name which would not take the new name
7.Camera works as normal, but I did not see the Microdrive to select in the initial settings. I believe that can be sorted with reg-edit or something else, but that is not important for me at the moment. Have not tested the front camera etc. I need to go and have a meal.
Am continueing to re-name the folders and checking the functions as I go along. Happy tweaking to all of you! Many thanks to Bogusiano and Wu.
Cheers
Very good! I am happy for you! I think this the closest we can get until a WWE ROM for the Dopod U1000 is released, for me at least, this is enough to enjoy my device meanwhile!
