I had thought WM could display Chinese characters natively (I guess I'm too used to the iPhone features). Are there language packs that I have to download or something?
Or is it like Nokia phones where I have to flash to a specific firmware first? (God I hope not).
Install korenchithai.cab that will display Chinese, Thai, Japanese & Korean. I have already & it works a treat
install ce star 2.8r3c. and your device will support Chinese cheers
I'm sorry but where do I find these cab files? Sorry I guess it's been a loong time since I used WM and I'm a complete noob when it comes to the WM platform now..

Did anybody try this already?
It translated al system and text input to your language.

You can download a trial...
Keep us informed.
Take a look here: http://www.buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=68&func=fileinfo&id=143
It's for free. :lol:
GDVR
life can be so easy ;-)
(if you meet the right people ;-)
ahum...
doesn't work? (or what does it do, maybe I looked wrong)
could this be the reason?
THIS LANGUAGE PACK WILL WORK ON "nocert" ROMs ONLY!!!
(what does it mean?)
This is the Dutch Language Pack for WM2005 nocert ROMs.
So I guess it won't work on the Magician
I have an english ROM and wish to be able to read hebrew sms or surf on hebrew site.
Can you help?
Thank you
no one...
UP
hey.
you can add the 'hebrew fonts" to the windows directory.
BUT:
it will show the hebrew Backwards.
The only knows solution is to get Eyron Hebrew:
Here:

Nadavi.
I don't like the eyron software . I don't want my kjam to be fully in hebrew. I just want to be able to read and browse hebrew. that's all.
thank you
UP.
No one for hebrew encoding in PIE??
Did you try:
Hebrew Language Support 1.0.67 by Ectaco International, Inc.
or, the more complete:
Hebrew Language Support 4.23 by Paragon Technologie GmbH
You have here 3 options (for WM5):
1. Eyron Hebrew
2. PDAC Hebrew
3. Install fonts to the windows folder
In opt. 3 you will be able to read hebrew but backwards, so it pretty much sucks, but it is something. Surfing is not supported - but hey at least it's free :lol:
opt. 1 and 2 are good (Eyron is far better IMHO) and both include option for "Enabled" which means the interface stays in english but you get hebrew support (in PIE as well).
which fonts do i need?
which fonts do i need to put on the fonts folder?
i know i need tahoma and tahoma bold but i dont think its enough
cause i still cant see hebrew in my text messages.
so do i need any other fonts and if so which ones?
please help

I am hopeful that many of you guys will help me and advice me how to start building my own ROM in my language.
May be you guys can tell me how translate Windows Mobile to another language.

Hello, The King! I think it's really difficult to translate a whole O.S. it is possible, but since a single O.S. has hundreds of strings (text) it would take months to years to make a good translation.
I think that there are tools, but, sorry, I don't know their names. I'm sure that any ROM cooker would provide you with the info.
Good luck!

I would like to thank you for reading my thread. I knew it is difficult to translate the whole system but as you know dreams has no boarders. I will stay dreaming until one day that will be a reality.
With my deep thanx & regards,

I will also look forward....
U can ask cookers certenly they know files and the best u can get is to uppack installation package, get language files (i think they are numbered instead of saying like: english, they have somthing like "0409" files and all that has that typo of number indicates us to a lang file) So u can try to extract it and then for exemple with TXT editor replace and translate it manually, and most of words are duplicated so if u use replace tool u can translate all langs pretty quickly, and dont forget that there are another problem that is language keyboard, that is yet another little problem, but not so hard.
what you could do is translate all files that end with mui.0409 but you need some software like PE Explorer to translate all strings and dialogs. this would give you kurdish language in program menus and stuff but you could probable not change the names of the folder because the programs have the paths deaper coded into the dll and exe. I would not dream of doing this because when you finaly get finished there would probalble be 1 or 2 updates since you started to translate so most new apps would not run on the windows version you translated.
Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can help me with this question?
If I were to buy a Chinese Jade (Chinese windows etc.) I would obviously be able to receive txt messages in Chinese, but if I flash the ROM to English, would I still be able to receive Chinese txts? If not, if I then installed Chinese language support for the windows mobile as in "Monster Chinese" etc. would it then be possible to receive these txts?
If that would work then I assume the following would be the same (Is this correct?)...If I bought one from England which would obviously already be in English and installed the Chinese language support would it then be possible to receive and send Chinese txt messages?
I guess my confusion is between the "PPC part" and the "phone part", I had an IPAQ before and I know I can install Chinese language support, but I am just not sure if that would allow the "phone part" to use it
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am in England for another week or so and not sure if I should buy one before I go back to Taiwan.

Since it is one system, yes, just install the chinese support software. I prefer the fast, convenient and FREE ZTA4 Text input. http://www.a4user.com/A4_down_sip.asp
Works very well on Jade. But you still need the chinese font file for actually displaying the hanzi. Use sunglobe: http://www.trendsmobile.com/downloads/sunglobe.cab.zip
Greetings from Berlin and Beijing
Thanks
Thanks S200 for the quick answer.
Great help
I will check those links now
why the first answer is a no ?
i found some tutorials on a Chinese site, it says you need to install font to display chinese characters, and an input method to type chinese, even if you are using an english rom, and isn't this correct?
http://www.ricky119.com/2008/08/25/windows-mobile英文rom中文支持-10m雅黑
http://www.ricky119.com/category/technique/cellphone
and you can also use ce-star to get chinese support, but current version is reported to be unstable and could lead to crash constantly.
yeah thats what I meant, just install the font I mentioned in my post, then of course the answer is yes. but without modifying the english ROM, it is unable to DISPLAY (but of course receive) chinese chars..
I had installed the "CE Star" for handwrite and display the Chinese Charater. I found it still cannot display on the TouchFLO. Can any expert help? Many thanks!
my jade comes with ce-star 2.8 r3. i think this is the latest version works perfectly with jade and wm6 phone.
buy an English Jade and installed PlumSIP and Monster Chinese, works better than CE Star
