I am a Chinese language user.
After I upgrade my XDA II to 1.50f / 1.50g ROM.
I found that the old version WINCE.nls doesn't work on WM 5.0.
Now, I just put the Chinese fonts under Windows directory, and change the system default fonts be a chinese, that I can read Chinese in WM 5.0 now.
But some program like, iSilo, IRC can't view Chinese as well. I know that is WINCE.nls problem. I also try put the 2003se Chinese WINCE.nls to 5.0, its doesn't work.
Does anyone fix this problem now?
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.

Hi guys !!!
Currently I have multi-language Win6.5 but want to install Lite ROM ... many of the have only English.
Questions - is that possible to install a Russian language support after installing the new English ROM or I need to use Multi-lang Lite ROM ???
Or maybe it is possible to download some Multi-lang Lite ROM, extract Russian language (question - how ???), download another Lite ROM I have found (with many nice features) and integrate (question - how ???) the extracted Russ lang file(s) and then install this updated ROM with English and Russian.
All your suggestions and tips are very appreciated !!!
Thanx a million in advance !!!

Custom roms can only be in one language. Because of the locations of folders and because of the mui files. But if you have a rom, that fit your needs, you can ask the cook, if he is willing to make it in your language.
Your stock rom's aren't multilanguage, too. If you change the language (Not the regional settings), device will reboot and unpack the needed language files.
what about this post: [ROM][25/07/2010] I8000 - Sense 2.5.2016 - MultiLang (sorry, cannot post links yet ... topic number 750783 ) ... is that also Custom ROM or Stock ROM ???
i do not know much about sense porting, bt i have heard, too, that with sense multi language rom is possible.
