Hi all,
It is for quite some time now that i am looking for a hebrew localization pack for my Universal and apparently there is no cheep solution for that. (well there is a 130$ one but it is too expensive for me...) .
I've searched the net for a cheep solution but it seems that all software companies that develop these kind of localization do not know all about Hebrew and thus i get a software that write in mirror like way and some more little things (like no hebrew Email/sms support, no hebrew on PIE etc...).
all i want is to be able to send/recieve emails/sms and have the hebrew keboard layout (in addition to the english one) so that i can write documents or sms/emails (PIE is less important to me ) - in the right hebrew direction (right to left).
I am looking for someone able to give me some guidelines on how to start this project of hebrew localization - if i will finnish this, i will share it freely. i look for no profit.
thank you all who can help me.
hebrew
best solution: http://www.eyron.net/
(1 week try for free).
works perfect with my qtek 9000
even cheaper:

you might also try: P.D.A.C. which also has Hebrew for mobile devices (the site is: http://www.wince.co.il/). BTW - I bought it for approx. 230-50 shekels (shop was cheaper than the site!)
Although I have to add that I actually had it installed by Handy (mobile devices shop in Tel Aviv) - who are pretty experienced with Hebrew on mobile devices, but it didn't work well (mirror hebrew, IMEI # disappeared...), when I had to reinstall it after a Hard Reset of my device - so eventually I got a refund.
I am told that Eyron works much the same way (i.e. there is no real difference between the two), but the PDAC support team are considered more responsive; which I experienced 1st hand: when I tried to install the eyron trial, I wanted to ask them a couple of technical questions - I did so in a couple of emails - but NEVER received any reply back.
bottom line is I have no definitive answer as to which prog. to use. Another factor may be th ROM you use on the device. After I update mine I'll attempt this again... write here if you have any new info.
well,
Thank you Magicuser and techdot,
I did try Eyron's UI but it took me too many hardresets and i also had to speak to their support by phone untill they found a version that worked on my XDA EXEC. bottom line - they are too expensive and the software made my device slower...
I also have been in contact with PDAC but they do not have an evaluation software, their reply to me said that if i wish i can come to their offices, have them install their software on my device but soon as i leave they would hardreset (!!!) my device to get it all off....personaly i'm against this as i think i should have the possibility to evaluate before i buy.
I did make a mistake with Ectaco language support - i bought it befor i evaluated it properly and now i have problems with them - the hebrew keyboard dont seem to load up, i have no hebrew on sms/emails (send or recieve) and i also have no hebrew on PIE...
this why i am looking for my own solution for a minimal hebrew support (keyboard, sms/emai send/recieve, PIE - in good and not mirrorized right to left way)...
I bought the PDAC solution for my MioA201 (WM5) and it works very well, although it has an over complex security installation routine.
I have not tried it on the Exec. If you tell PDAC what PDA you have and ask them if they would refund if it doesn't work. I am sure they would respond +vely to this

The thing is, i would like to try it befor i decide do pay money for it.
and i think 250NIS is too much for a rather simple feature (heberw keyboard, send/recieve hebrew sms/email and optional hebrew support for PIE), which i dont understand why Microsoft does not provide for free (like when you buy win XP for desktop pc).
the other alternative is you find a hebrew firmware upgrade for the exec. There is one for the Typhoon, but not sure about the Universal. Cellcom support HTC products and they might have a hebrew firmware so you should call them, but I have not heard about it. Its all a case of supply and demand, there is probably not a critical mass of Universal users in Israel for HTC to bother. I know there is a critical mass for the Typhoon and Hebrew firmware is available.
The useful thing about PDAC is that if you buy a new PDA you can transfer the software. Whereas if it was firmware you would have to start the hunt again. It is frustrating that they don't have a trial version. Although I think the asking cost is quite low for this type of software.

Any idea where can I find this hebrew firmware for the Typhoon?
Thanks!
I am also looking for a simple hebrew test support. My Brother lives in Israel ,and he got hold of version 5 of Eyron, and installed it on an MDA Vario (which I gave him for his b-Day) and he says it works but slows the system down.
I beleive that with Windows Mobile 2003 all you had to do is import the Hebrew Fonts...
So if anyone comes up with a solution I would much oblige
I shall also see If I can get hold of the Hebrew support my BRO is using, but the software is cracked so I am not sure I will be allowed to post that here. ????Moderator??

While this does appear like a simple feature to ask for, It implies that the Operating System (Or layered service) should inherently support bi-directional text display, as well as bi-directional Input.
BTW: AFAIK, starting from WM6 (OS 5.2.317 & up) the OS uses Unicode Fonts, so hebrew IS displayed without any third party software needed.

yeah, but it's displayed backwards - no bidi suport.
will the nexus one support displaying traditional chinese on websites like yahoo.com.tw ? i don't want to change the entire os to chinese but in case, for example if i have a chinese song, will the characters display? also is there support for chinese input? what about chinese voice input?
... the stock music app displays music in japanese, korean and chinese (that I can confirm). Just download a zhong guo keyboard from marketplace, voice input works in other languages but not as well. e.g. when i say: Watashi wa anata o koto ga suki desu. it searched for "watashi wa balls"... lol
how do you do voice search on other language without changing the locale setting in Setting?
I don't think that's possible is it?
According to Google on the developer page for Android, the OS includes IMEs for Japanese among others; however, I have yet to see a ROM that includes a Japanese IME and I always have to use something like Simeji. This is fine, but I prefer to use the default keyboard that is built into the system if I can. Does anyone know why this functionality is apparently left out of the ROMs being released these days? Is there any apk that will enable the Japanese IME Google built?

I've got a Japan retail TF101, which came with a Japanese keyboard layout dock.
Unfortunately all of the ROM's available do not have support for the Japanese layout at this point.
How do I go about assisting to include support into future ROM releases?
The model number for the dock is EP101-0209.
Thanks,
THL
You'll need to remap the keylayout. Infact I've done it by copying files inside original roms. Get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1150810
Hi
i am new to all of this nintendo switch thing so please be easy on me with your explanation
i live in China for now, and just bought myself a switch just to enjoy a little and play some exclusive.
the problem is that i didnt know that the switch in china is a special one that is operated by tencent.
anyway my question is
can i change the language in my switch? maybe install a new OS?change some REG files?
i dont care loosing multiplayer game abilities or online store (im more of old school cartridge lover)
please if somebody can help me i will be more than happy
some donations will be included too to the helper
i just want to be able to read and understand my games and console ^^
If you could run Switchroot, that`d be language independent.
As for Horizon OS: Probably outta luck
(Aside from maaaaaybe using an EmuMMC... But that is unclear)
If that model of switch is capable of going into RCM, you can try sending a payload to see if it boots. If it does you can follow this guide to hack it and use Atmosphere instead of HorizonOS
https://switch.homebrew.guide/
Chinese Switch player here to answer.
In fact, only new players will buy Tencent Switch, most of experienced Chinese players prefer importing one from Japan or Hong Kong - and I'm the one using Switch imported from Hong Kong.
Therefore, you have two choices:
- Sell the bare console itself (known as single tablet 单平板 in China), and buy another bare console that claimed to be Hong Kong variant or Japanese variant on Taobao Flea Market (Xianyu 闲鱼). These two aren't language selection locked. If you have cartridges ended with CHN, sell them as well, as cartridges ended with CHN are region locked to Tencent Switch.
- All of Tencent Switch are based on revised Mariko based SoC, so RCM method is definitely unusable. However, the mod chip is usable, but can be risky and not recommended.
Joy-Con and other accessories aren't region locked, and they're still under 1-year warranty guarantee from Tencent. If you prefer the first choice, all existing accessories can be kept. To help you search, here're keywords you can use:
switch 港版 单平板 续航
(Switch Hong Kong variant bare console long battery life)
switch 日版 单平板 续航
(Switch Japanese variant bare console long battery life)
Nintendo Switches with longer battery life are based on revised Mariko based SoC. If you don't mind, you can remove the keyword "续航".

it's not that easy on a Tencent Switch. on GBA temp this is explained but you need an Rcm switch or a modchip.
hi, i want to buy a tencent switch, but there isn’t a chinese id step, how can i pass it since i’m not from china?
