Hi
After a ROM update, i find myself with the english version of WM5, which is excellent. However, there is a problem with the locale. Since the keys have been printed with the danish letters and symbols, almost none of the "Special" keys output the correct symbols anymore.
I tried doing the registry hack described on the Wiki,
added the Locale=0406, and altered the Qwerty Layout=132102.
However, after a soft reset the device still has the english locale.
Can anyone help me out with this ?
OK...
Through the miracle of having multiple phones of the same type to my disposal, and not ROM upgraded, i managed to figure out why it didn't work.
The un-flashed phone contained the value for Norwegian input in the registry, so in the english version, this works just as well.
The entry for the norwegian locale is 132116 while the danish is 132102.
Using 132116 will enable the use of Danish / Norwegian keyboards on the English Windows Mobile 5.0.
Hope that can help someone, even though i'm feeling like i'm the only one foolish enough to upgrade to a ROM that didn't support my own language
I have tried this with my Norwegian version on english rom but I could not get it to work, so I use AEKmap to do the job and its works very well.
I changed the rom because I was so used to having everything on pc and pda in english, I started to get lost in norwegian on this phone.

I've just boght my 9100 with russian ROM and russian keyboard layout. But I want to install the WWE one, cause I got used to having only English soft, and this ROM is much more fresh and stable as well. According to discussions here the most appropriate one is Qtek_9100_RUU_Prodigy_10107105_Qtek_WWE_ship.exe, isn't it? But, will I remain the ability to input text in russian? Is there any keyboard patch if not?
Don't worry about, just use one of soft keyboards like Qkeys or Resco
or try this:

And don't forget to change "Regional Settings"
Hello
Anybody who has german ROM, please copy \Windows\compime.dll from your pda and post it here.
I've flashed my VPA with english ROM and now keyboard layout does not correspond hardware buttons.
Registry value \\HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale is already filled with 0419 (yeah, I want to input russian too)
MSDN page, describing how to change/add different IME
I hope this will take effect.
Also I tried "German Language Pack" by Hades77. German layout works perfect but I can not switch into russian - [red dot]+[*] inserts * instead of switching locales (as that on english layout). Maybe there is another combination to do this? I have checked any ones but without any result.
After many hours of head scratching, I proudly present to you the Greek T9 language pack for BenQ E72.
What made the whole process difficult was:
1. The phone has WM6 Standard with no ROMs/Dumps available. From my research there are at least three different WM6 ROMs: one for Asia (the original one), one for Australasia (the one every phone bought from eXpansys has) and one for a British GSM operator. WM6 has some peculiarities regarding signed code among these ROMs and this affects T9 IME as well. That's the main reason for the difficulty in supporting more languages than the ones in ROM and why packages from NiTroGenious and melgurth do not work (and every other version of T9 Greek LDB I could find...).
2. Due to no ROM availability, it's impossible to cook a new ROM as information about system internals (bootloader, etc) is scarce therefor it's impossible - for now - to create a cooked ROM that would overcome issue (1) and would allow us to overcome the issues of signed code (plus we could update in WM6.1).
To install the Greek T9 language, use the attached .cab file. Install it in the phone memory and reboot. The cab file will update the T9 core files with signed files and install a signed Greek T9 LDB. It will also remap T9 system wide, so that sequential keyboard presses (like searching through Contacts) will use the current T9 setting. It will also update the GSM operators list in Greece. The system does not localize the OS.
Please post problems/suggestions in this thread.
If there is enough interest, I will create additional language packs.
Many thanks to NiTroGenious and melgurth for their help.
Enjoy your BenQ E72.
Additional language packs
If possible can you create a package with Portuguese, English and Spanish languages. Also can you explain me what tools you use to create the cab and where you find the signed version of the dll. Hope to have some news from you soon. Kind regards.
You can find an updated T9 package for the following languages, here.
- English
- French
- German
- Greek
- Italian
- Portuguese
- Spanish

I have a PDF in Chinese, if anybody knows how to translate, together with all files mentioned in the PDF (P21DTDownloadtool etc...) and an Australasian WM 6.1 ROM. I have tried to flash myself, but can't get pass the PASSPORT application due to the txt file for the Passport being in Chinese and my Windows XP is English.
If anybody wants files & ROM then tip me the wink and I will upload it to my Webspace.
PDF is here...

The Portuguese T9 it's not working at all. I think the problem is that when you select Portuguese he setup the country language code as 0406 (Portuguese Brasilian) instead of 0816.

Hello,
The Portuguese T9 is set up as 0816, not 0406.
Are you sure you are using an E72 with the eXpansys ROM? The system will (probably) not work with other ROM versions.
Hi,
I bought my E72 on Expansys, so I think I'm using the correct ROM. For example if you go to T9 menu and go to T9 Settings-Help you find that Portuguese T9 is not loaded. On my E72 I don't see any reference to Portuguese T9 version, all the other languages packages are present there.
I continued thinking that the problem appears to be on the country code. Take a look on the registry dump.
Regards.
Hi,
I've uploaded an updated version of the E72 T9. There was an issue with the Portuguese LDB file and it's reference in the registry. The string was 'PortugeseLdb.dll' instead of 'PortugeseLdb.dll'. The language codepage is correct, according to Microsoft LCID table (0816 for Portuguese).
As always, your E72 should be fully application unlocked before applying this updated T9.
Re-download the new file from the above link and post your results there.

Cannot run .cab files - WM6.5 phone
Hi,
I have an E72 phone. The details are WM6.5 CE OS 5.2.21234 build 21812.5.0.50.
As per post #21, I am trying to run the .cab file for enabling English T9 feature and I am getting the following error.
“Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permission”
I have placed the .cab file under "My Documents".
Please help me.
Also, how to edit the registry of a CE phone? Please explain the steps.
regards,

Hi,
I searched the internet, but I don't find any working solution. I changed the registry, installed ezinput (after this the htc was frozen),...
I want to keep the language (Dutch) but not the keyboard layout (qwerty). It should be AZERTY. How can I do that on this device? Is their a rom/app that can perform this for me?
Thanks in advance.
Anyone? Is there a dutch rom with azerty on it?
if i remember fingerkeyboard does
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487677
just choose your language as dutch and it changes the keyboard layout
let us know how it goes.
from experience it's a very good keyboard, even has abilities to cut, copy, paste, undo, etc.
IF IT DOESN'T have DUTCH
from another post -> simply select the arrow near the keyboard and select french, but remember xt9 will also be in french so disable it!

Yep, that's the problem, the goal is to keep XT9... unfortunately no solution exists so far, I'm in the same case, for some reason HTC thinks that French = AZERTY keyboard... mine is QWERTZ, thanks...
Hi,
I did it as follow:
*I installed this rom: Leopat 1.4 Nld with Cookies Hometab
*I Changed the keyboard to french
*I Changed this in the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\LdbFiles]
"010c"="NLlsUN_xt9.ldb"
And now I have a dutch HTC with AZERTY . I took couples of hours to find those simple steps. Belgian people will be happy
Hmm, I tried that before, and it didn't work... but now it seems to? Weird.
Anyway XT9 still has a long way to go before it gets really useable, most of the time it doesn't even get it right if you type one wrong letter (neighbouring one) in a 6 letter word, and gives no suggestion...
Dammz... I flashed my HTC and did what I said above but xt9 stays french...
I searched hours for a solution without any luck.
Is it that hard to make xt9 dutch when using the french keyboard (azerty)?
