[APP]BattMon - Translate to WWE - Need some help from Chinese people

I've seen a screenshot a while back here, and got curious about a battery status application called BattMon from a Chinese developer. After talking with hkpeople by PM, I finally got my hands on it, only to realize it's not in English but in Chinese instead.
I've burnt my eyelids searching for a way to translate the program to WWE, but haven't been successful so far, because I can only find the application on Chinese forums, which is unreadable to me (and also needs registration).
By editing the exe with a resource editor, I've analized the file and I'm thinking it may also have some sort of settings pannel (maybe by executing the exe with some parameter, unknown to me so far).
So, what I need is someone that can provide me with the author's contact (e-mail, msn, yahoo... some kind of messenger, etc), so I can ask for his permission to edit it, and also would need all the program visible texts translated into English.
Tomorrow I'll be posting some screenshots of the things I'd like to translate. I'll also need someone with a device running a Chinese ROM so you can see what to translate (because in my device i can only see squares)
For now, you guys can think about this and tell me what you think, and if you're willing to help.
[EDIT]
Well, thanks to devilteki, this is starting to look better, as you can see in the screenshot:
But there's still something bugging me, because as I said before, in the resource editor, I can see some sort of settings panel, which I still don't know how to use or what it's written there. See the screenshot:
Why make the menu, if you're not gonna use it?

I've tried to translate it.
But due to the default language was not tranditional chinese.
some of the meaning there, I could not totally understand, and i'm also not good at English
Please tried and might give me the right sentences or words you think .

just before this thread was created i have tried this but due to chinese i have uninstalled it. the version i had was suplied by holyfox. so if yoy need anything he might be able to help you, drop him a pm.

你找我呀?
哈哈!

Tranditional Chinese Rom
Need I help?

batmon (the dark knight ) rocks.
but it has one disadvantage:
the battery icon will be hidden / covered by a speech bubble when u receive mail or sms.

First post updated with screenshots.

Sure, I'm well aware of that, but since I'm thinking of using this program as a complement of my battery icons, it's not really a problem.
In fact, it will make me realize more quickly that I have pending notifications to check.

Try this
CAPTION "Setting"
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
FONT 9, "Tahoma"

This is a no go. It doesn't so nothing.
And I've also found another problem with this nice little program.
We can't use VGA icons (32x32 pixels instead of 16x16 pixels). The program will only display a quarter of the icon. Damn!!!!
I'm aware of another similar application, called GS battery monitor (GSbmon - Green Software battery monitor), which allows the use of 32x32 pixel icons, but it'll not display the battery status from 0% to 100%. It's like the stock battery indicator.
I have what seems to be the source code of the app, but I have no programing skill whatsoever, so, if the author of the program reads this, or anyone is willing to take this project on, it would be awesome!!

Yes, this is a really nice looking app. The icon match the diamond style. Let me know if you need helps in any Chinese translation. (PM me)

when i was untheming the jacmytouchskiv2.0 i noticed when i flashed the regular (themed version) that it had a black normal keyboard that typed in chinese. if you can find a rom with the english version of the cupcake vk you should be able to replace the chinese vk with the english one (well i assume you are looking for english but substitute english with whatever language if you are not lol) and it should work. i do not know where it would be located though. try pm-ing ccyrowski or cyanogen they should be able to tell you the location of it in a rom.

I don't know why you would call the htc one better... I quite hate it. The buttons are harder to press and it vibrates WAY too long. The default keyboard is much nicer -- clean and gives just a nice 'tick' of the vibrator on key press.
To install the default keyboard, copy its ".apk" file ("LatinIME.apk") into /system/app.

[RESOLVED] No other beta-testers needed to verify spellchecking in Spanish

Hello,
I am a hobby-developer of a spellchecking-engine, in the form of a library, which other developers may add to their applications for Windows Mobile. Please see the thread in my signature for further information.
However, this time I need some help from you end-users to verify the correctness of the suggestions (replacements for misspelled words) produced by my spelling-engine. This is important so I know that the replacements are accurate and reasonable and that the word list (dictionary) I am using is good.
I need to verify Spanish, French and German so if (any) above language(s) is (are) your mother-tongue(s) or if you know them very well, please send me a PM with your e-mail (and indicating which language you would like to help me with) and I will send you a test application. For the time being, this test-application is a normal desktop Windows application (a text editor in which you can load any text file and perform spellchecking and which is good enough for the purpose of verifying the results of the spelling-engine).
Edit: No further beta-testers needed. I might need others later on when verifying other languages
In the future, I will add other languages as well. If you want some languages added and you can provide me a word list (or dictionary) of said language, please let me know.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

if/when you'll need Italian, gimme a shot

Grazie.
I had actually planned to include Italian with the current version of my spellchecker but unfortunately the only word list (dictionary) I found have all words without accents.
For instance:
arriverà - in the dictionary it is: arrivera
più - in the dictionary it is: piu
ecc.
My idea for Italian was to find maybe 10 users (or even more) who could use the spellchecker from MS Word or OpenOffice to correct the words in my current word list without accents. At the end, we would have a corrected word list which would be good. My idea was to send to each person helping with Italian, only a part from the dictionary. Let's say: Person 1 gets all words from A to C, Person 2 gets all words from D - F and so on. If you know some other Italian people who would like to help me with this, please let me know. The more we are, the faster the dictionary will be ready. What do you think?

Update: French and German is no longer needed. I need still a beta-tester for Spanish!

If you have taken it from scrobble, yes, i did compile it this way on purpose (scrobble hasn't accents)

I think spellchechers are not so smart: you'll come out having a lot of strange words
But if you know how to convert .dic/.aff from OpenOffice dicts, here (attached) is the italian OpenOffice dictionary.
Otherwise, i'll manually convert it (as i already did for Scrobble), but we'll lose all the rules (verbs will be only in infinitive form, for example, as they are in usual dictionaries)

Ciao,
No, I didn't use the one from Scrobble. The dictionary I am using was compiled by Luigi M Bianchi and you can download a copy of the dictionary here (http://www.winedt.org/Dict/). It's very complete and lists more than 277,000 words!
However, I had a look at the dictionary you supplied to Scrobble and I think I'd like to use that one instead since it is much smaller (and more suited for Windows Mobile since less memory is required to load it). It has most verb forms present (arriva, arrivi, arriviamo ecc.). However the problem is that it is still without accents But the time needed to correct it should take less.
My spellchecking-engine does not use the Affix-system used by OpenOffice (which is using Hunspell) or likes such ASpell and ISpell. This system is far too memory-hungry (in my opinion) for Windows Mobile although I considered it. For more information what my spellchecking-engine is using, please see the link in my signature.
I tried once to expand an .aff-dictionary (with its corresponding affix-file) but I couldn't get it right. In any case, I think the end-result would be a huge dictionary.
If you still have the Scrobble-dictionary with all accents available, I'd love to use it. Otherwise, I believe that the Scrobble-dictionary would be the right candidate for creating a new dictionary WITH accents using the method mentioned in my previous post.

I should have it at home, tonight i'll check. If not, i'll convert it again and then will attach here

Here it is

What regards Spanish, German and French, I don't need any other beta-testers.
As to other languages, I might come with a new request later on.
Thank you.

Let me check this one and then I will get back to you.

CM6 Roms doesn't support other languages??

Hi. I am using CM 5.0.8 rom for my eris. I can choose other languages in the setting in this rom so that it shows other languages without any problem. However, CM6 doesn't seem to support other languages, especially eastern asian such as chinese, korean and japaneses etc. In CM 6 roms, foreign language letters appear like this □□□ on the web browser and cell phone itself. Isn't there any way to make these languages show up correctly on the phone??

I flashed CM6 rom and installed "morelocale". However, the letters appear to be □□□ on the phone. Do I have to put specific font in the phone to make it show up?? Even in the CM5.0.8, I can see and type other languages other than English without any apps and modification.
Anyways thank your concerning : )

[Q] How to use Google Now in a different language from the one set for the phone?

Hi there,
I am from a Spanish speaking country, and live in France. My N4 is set in French, because in that way I can get the news of the region (in that weather & news app), and all the country-specific apps works well. Whilst I like having everything in French, I have the problem that my accent is quite strong, and Google do not understand what I say. However, I can set the speech recognition to Spanish, and it works very well... but then Google Now do not understand the order I give to him. For example, to set the alarm at 7am, I would say "poner la alarma a las 7", which Google writes perfectly fine, but it is expecting the orders to be given in French. I have tried setting my phone in Spanish, and it works like a charm, but then Weather and News does not give me the news from France any more.
Is there any way to have the phone in French, but Google Now in Spanish?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Google Now -> Settings -> Voice -> change it to spanish

That's exactly what I have done. So, now it writes in Spanish the orders I give to it, but it doesn't execute the orders, it just search in google (because it is still expecting the orders to be done in the phone's language). In other words, that option only change the voice recognition, but not the language of Google Now.

Désolé mon ami, Orders given to google now only works in U.S english actually, Neither in European or asian Languages. you have to put English (US) as language to make it work.

Actually, that is not true. I can put my phone in French or Spanish, and Google Now in the same language (or just write the order in that language), and it will work. I can give to the phone orders in any of these languages.
What I want is just to change the language of Google Now so it can be different from that of the phone. But it doesn't seem to be possible.

JanusDC is right! How can we change the Google Now Language without change the overall Phone Language?

That would be a great thing!!!
We're able to change the input language to english, but if the system is in other language, Google Now can't show the results properly.
For instance, I live in Brazil and my phone language is in portuguese but I speak english, so when I use Google Now I can't ask "Do I need an umbrella today?" even if the input is set to english with the whole system in portuguese.

I have exactly the same problem. I would be very glad if someone finds a solution :/. Does anybody knows if they plan to make an update for this issue?

If you have Root, maybe editing the Localization of the App might work. I think Paranoid-ROM has this Feature, but "App Settings" for XPOSED Framework should do the Trick as well.

Actually not... I have my phone on English US everything and I say... "OK Jarvis, How's the weather for tonight" and It gives my location weather.
But, I remember that I asked something about Lima, and then asked about the weather and it gaved me the weather from Lima. It continues with the last thing you said somehow.
AAAAND yeahp the news there's nothing to use. Download the CNN app or use Google Currents instead
Please let me know how it goes!

I meant the News&Weather app (GenieWidget.apk). The news are not based on the location but the language, so if I put US English, I get news from USA.

Hey but now in 2018 there isn't any Google Now in the Settings screen of Android O. How can I change the Google Now speech detection to french.?

Here is how to change the Voice Input...
Settings > Language & Input > Voice Input - Then press the settings " star" and configure " offline speech recognition" and you can download another language if needed from there also. I hope this helps!
In the " text-to speech output" setting (also found in Language & Input in the settings) you can configure in which speech the phone/tablet should talk to you...
