German compime.dll needed

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.

ROM Translation

Hello to all experts,
I have some questions... (from a noob)
- What is needed to translate the rom into new language ... is there a language cab or ... ?
- Integrating additional memory chip (I've been told that there is possibility to stick another chip above the existing one) ... has anyone tried this ?
I apreciate all you did so far ... thank you

Hi.
By translating ROM I assume you mean having the OS in a different language?
There are two ways:
1) If the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) of your device provides ROMs in different languages you can just download it from their site and reflash. The installation program will guide you step by step and usually it is as simple as connecting your device and clicking 'next' several times.
2) All the strings, menus and the rest of the interface is stored is special files called MUI. (example: coreres.dll.0409.mui - 0409 = English US)
If you can get a set of this files with the language you want and copy them to the device it will do the trick.
If you want more specific instructions you have to tell us what device you have and to what language do you want to translate it (some languages have special requirements)
As for memory chip: Some devices can be upgraded (like IPAQ 4700) but this has to be done in a lab with special tools.
Once again, without knowing what device you have I cannot give you a specific answer.

Hi levenum,
thank you for your time and detailed answers.
Yes, sorry for making you guess but my question is answered under your second answer. What I need is translation of the OS or translation of all strings in OS interface.
My intention is to translate MUI in Albanian (latin) and Macedonian language(cyrilic). I've googled for these language packs but no luck so far.
At the moment I have BlueAngel AKU3.2; ROM 5.04.06WWE; Radio 1.15. and Wizzard G4 with molski ROM.
- Memory upgrading - we would like to try on Magician but any advice is welcome.
Thank you again

Ok, well here some more info then:
1) Since Latin and Cyrillic fonts already exist on all devices with English ROM you won't need to replace font files.
2) If you want to do the translation yourself you will need an app like Resource Hacker or one of the MS IDEs (Visual Studio, eMbedded VC, Platform Builder) MUI are basically exe and dll files that have only resources and no code (they must be in correct exe / dll format).
3) MUIs for system files on WM5 devices must be signed to load.
You should talk to asukal and buzz_lightyear. They made several translation packs for different devices and will be able to guide you in detail.

I have a complete set of 0413 mui files, can I simply replace them in a Rom?
I dumped the (WWE) Rom with imgfs_tools, if I replace all the 0409 files with 0413 files will that work?
Does these files not have to be signed or something?

I hv an ipaq hw6915 with Rom version 1.50.00, pls how can i charge the language to english.

timjaba, in your case you just need to go to HP site and download an English ROM for your device.
I am not 100% certain but if they ever made a ROM upgrade for it there should be one there.

how to flash the english rom onto the Ipaq hw6915?
Hello Levenum,
I have downloaded an English rom for the HP Ipaq hw6915, but I don't know what to do with it. How do I flash it onto the Ipaq in such a way that it will replace the panish language currently installed on it?.... It is a dump.bin file, about 128 MB in size.
Any help is highly appreciated!
Greetings Tom

Acer F1 (NeoTouch S200) Change language

Hello,
I have this phone but have a problem- how to set English display language. I read in this forum - i must find a English rom... or... i am not shure. Can u help me?
/sorry for my english/
Thanks a lot

you can not change the language in windows mobile, you have to use an English ROM.
unfortunately, Acer has not yet released ROM updates, nor are there custom ROMs available yet. But check back the forum regularly, there is one in the making.

oh...
Just wait... right?
Can i install only English language? or... just update something?!?

you need to flash a different ROM, if you want a different language, period.
a device can only contain a single language a time, so you need to install a different Windows Mobile (in form of a ROM image). Why haven't you bought an English device to begin with?

I bought it from ebay. There is no information to display language.

Just one last question- can i install ROM from other model phone?

no.
you need one specific for the neoTouch S200.

Did you try to change regional settings (start, settings, system, regional settings). I always had an english device but this maybe will help you so you can read english.
What language do you have?
While waiting for an english rom, you may install/try SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 which works fine on S200 and choose enlish as your language. This will help you alot. At least you will use your mobile decent.

Freco, thanks !!!!
I will check SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 ... and will wait for rom.
You are the man!!! thank you again!!!

You can change language... but its a little bit tricky...
You need mui files for language you want eg 0415 are for polish language then change some registry entries...I've made polish language for TG01 and the only problem are settings from Toshiba(they don't use mui files ;/)

thanks

Hi All!
2 days ago i bought S200 and now i have the same problem
It`s french WM and it's .....aaaah no comment :/
I need english language (or polish)
I will try install SPB maybe it helps me for a few days...
But if someone will find english WM for s200 please share somewhere...
Now, I have s200_1.002c.00_fr
maybe some one can find s200_1.002c.00_en somewhere...

First You must know how to hard reset Your phone with button combination (messing with registry entries can lead to the hangups or make your system unbotable) second so far i know changing language on french/german TG01 to the English made system unbotable(that was Toshiba Keyboard SIP problem) and didn't translate much of the system... i didn't seen anywhere english mui files so easier would be to translate language to Your native using mui files from rom with close build number with one installed on Your phone

Hi everyone!
First of, as first time poster I'd like to say thankx to everyone who maintains this site and everyone who contributes with everything, from they're kitchen's best meals to any crazy ideas, I've been taking advantage of that for last month or so
But for this one I've found no answer, so here goes:
Yesterday I bought an Acer S200 F1 neoTouch yada yada yada...
I live in Portugal, so it comes with portuguese version of WM 6,5 which is horribly translated, making me, therefore, prefer the english version. I've never actually seen one of these with english version for sale here.
So I went around fishing for a way to change the language, I downloaded the official english version rom update from Acer's website, extracted it, replaced the ACER_EUU.exe with the cracked one, and it flashed smoothly.
However, EVERY SINGLE TIME I turn on the phone it hangs up, sometimes on the WM logo, sometimes during network search (shortly after WM is loaded I guess). Then it reboots all by itself, and then it works sort of ok.
I think I've described the process quite extensively, obviously, either I'm doing something wrong, or this method is not even supposed to work.
So I flashed the portuguese version back to the phone using the exact same method as described above, only not with english rom of course, and it is back to working as it should... in awful badly translated and cropped portuguese.
Should anyone know a way to get around the hang-ups I get with the english version, I'd be so grateful!
Cheers!

Why don't you try one of the Rafyvitto's roms. They are english and good looking.

Indeed. I'm using v2.7-vanilla, no crashes to date.
But I'm kind of obsessive, and rafyvitto's roms althought working much like they should, they have stuff built in which I think have no business being there. In this vanilla 2.7, as an example, title bar makes no sense as WM already has it's own way of doing the same (I think) I'm a noob to WM, so this might be a complete nonsense. Then there are bugs, such as the keyboard not showing/hiding properly during a call (I have to tap the button as if double clicking, and the button's description displays a wrong message ("hide" when it's hidden, "show" when it's being shown already) and sd-card encryption can't be turned off.....
Small things which make my day a little worst
Still, I appreciate rafyvitto's work, as the possibility of choice he provides us with is priceless =)
EDIT: as of the release of the new official rom's from acer (EUU_Acer_S200_3.003b.00_EN_03.03.08_3.003.01_20100119.zip) I am able to change the language from portuguese to english without the hangups I mentioned earlier!

are there mui files for every part of the os? like settings, programs, clock, messaging etc?
would it be possible to take the mui files from a german rom rename them from mui.0407 to 0409 install a new english rom and replace the mui files with the german renamed ones?
of course with a programm that allow replacing rom files like resco explorer or total commander?
if so maybe i even could get some german htc manila mui files from originial htc leo rom and rename and replace the ones of the acer s200 leo roms to have a part german rom ?

Reg. tweak to change Rom language only works if...

I have been testing the Registry tweak to chenge the Rom language, and after some tests I have discovered that if we change the Rom language we lose the notification sounds (Like SMS sound).
So I tested with the attached files I had from a 6.5 ROM from my olg HD. And after copying the files to Windows dir and change the Reg code to Portuguese all is working fine now including notifications.
Attached is a Zip file with all the files needed and a small text file with instructions.
If you want to use this files for another language diferent from Portuguese, all you have to do is to rename the "0816" code from the end of each file to the code from your language.
I hope this is usefull.

And works with all languages? (E que eu nao queria colocar PT )

Yes, works with all languages if you change the registry to your language code d the files in my Zip to the same code and then copy them to windows dir. It works.
The registry is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\MUI\CurLang and change the value 409 to 408 (Hex) (for example Greek) or try another value for your language. You can find all Windows Locale Codes here: http://www.science.co.il/Language/Locale-Codes.asp

Any way to just have T9 work with Portuguese without changing anything else to Portuguese?

Tnis is surely useful, thanks !
Question : Will this, apart from restoring notifications, have more
screens translated to the respective languages ?
If one hacks the registry now, only the "main tabs" in Sense are translated, as soon as you press a menu it's Dutch or German or whatever language again.
Q2 : If someone can do it for a Dutch ROM that would be great. I've just lend out Touch HD as HD2 arrived.

Hello my friends,
I just bought my new HD2 and i tried the way as you said. I didn't copy anyt file, i just changed the registry , and now the menu and ferw more things are in my language. The only problem that rem,ains is the Keyboard. Instead of puting anothet program for Keyboard , can i correct also this one? I use for example the Greek language.

This work on changing the manila screen languages, it doesn't change the inner part, ie: new sms or new appointment, the input still in english.

I just try a minutes ago and the result is only change the manila language no the hole language in the device.
You have to delete the old ones form the Windows folder?
thanks a lot.

Hi,RRibeiro,doesent work for me,I changed 0409 with 0418,in all your files,copy all in windows and....no notification sound for sms ;-(

Can we confirm? Does this change more than just the Sense language and the T9 text entry?
Does this work with Chinese language phones?

Nice find RRibeiro bro, thank you.
Btw nice to see you on Leo too.

Are you certain that you made the registry changes well? I only tested with Portuguese, but in the place where I got those files there were a message saying that it is compatible with all the languages.

yes,I'm sure

Does not change language to Bulgarian (0402). All i need is the keyboard layout not localized menues. And don't offer please any additional keyboards - I've tried them all. Like best the built-in.

Does this change the T9-words? I just want to be able to use ÅÄÖ (swedish letters) and perhaps word suggestions/correction

So does this change all the program including menus to the prefer language type or only the Sense or part of the system? (eg: the Pocket outook, will it be change to the prefer language?)

How do we uninstall cabs like this one?

language T9

Is there any possibility to enable/add Czech T9 dictionary?
(I mean with original SW keyboard, no new keyboard with T9. I am considering buy Cruise 09, I only have hold it in hand in shop. This property is important for me.)

Hello, have this cab file for you......

Frank:
Thanks. If I decide to buy Cruise 09, I will try it.
Is this cab file special for Cruise 09, or is it for any HTC model, or for any WM 6.x model?

I assume it is general......

I am sorry, but this cab can't work in my phone.
But the simpliest solution, I have been afraid to use, the "All input languages reg patch" for Touch Diamond, the "T9 Input 14 Languages Update.cab" operate well!
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402121&highlight=T9+Input+14+Languages
My: HTC Touch Cruise 09 (Iolite) ROM 1.09.401.3
it means, ROM contains Czech T9, only the option is hidden in the menu.

Cab that works
That one does not work on Iolite as well as many other devices... I made a .cab for you guys that truely works.

Enjoy.

I am sorry, but your version does not perform on my device. Keyboard does not type anything. In any language.
I am HW restarting and converting to original "T9 Input 14 Languages Update.cab"

Well if you bought a Czech version than you should have that language included......though HTC is not always so generous in giving what we want...
Glad it is solved.

Frank:
It is English version WindowsMobile.
Official Czech version ROM never have been sold, with Cruise09 model, I think. SunnySoft sell only the SW Czech localization (I have not it).
HTC sells English WM models with 14 languages T9 in Europe, but only the 5 main are in the menu (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish), others are hidden. How to unhide this languages, it is the thread
"forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402121&highlight=T9+Input+14+Languages" about.

Do not know if this helps you but over at the Touch 2 read this......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600713

Frank:
I have got this configuration now:
1. ROM: English (after HW reset it is still English)
2. SW localization WM: none
3. T9 language: 14 languages available in the menu, include Czech, unhidden with xda-developers
I am satisfied . No reason to change anything.
