WM6 Localization - let's start!

[ItalianTytan]

Hi,

one of the most complaints about cooked roms is that they are avaiable only in WWE, and after a quite long time, in other languages. I don't know how language is stored into WM operating system, but if all word/sentences can be extracted to a text file, i and many like me would be habby to translate it to Italian. I'm sure there's others that can do the same in other languages.
This way we could have our localized WM6 without waiting for official releases :) how about it?

[ZakMcRofl]

You should check the Hermes forums, they have localizations for WM6 in several languages. No need to reinvent the wheel.

Is there an easy way for mUn and LVSW to apply hermes localizations languages to trinity WM6 ?

French requested ;)

[ZakMcRofl]

As far as i know its not that hard to do (as in required skill) but it involves a lot of work.
We should probably wait until all bugs are ironed out, there's no use in translating/converting a buggy Rom.

Is it possible to have french langage for WM6? I heard that you could put different langages on WM6.

I agree...

I'm playing around with localization to german, here's the rough steps I did so far:

1) Dump os.nb
2) Copy MUI files from Bepe's german WM6 ROM (Hermes) and rename to *0409*
3) Rebuild

Obviously this only give me a very partial translation, I know registry and initflash would need to be edited as well.

I have a specific problem however: I want to switch msim.dll to msimde.dll (english softkeyboard to german). I copied msimde.dll from the other Rom but when I try to enable it in the registry, the ROM will hang at HTC screen. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I know. don't rename msimde to msim, coz they use different CLISD (it was written inside dll). So when you put renamed msimde.. the system can't use old CLISD with this dll..so you see white screen (coz system doesn't boot without any virtual keyboard)
So you should create new CLISD and edit some reg entries for your de deutch kbd. But you should keep original driver too (msim.dll). But you can deactivate it (isinputmethod=o)

[ZakMcRofl]

Thanks for the tips.
I'll take a look at bepe's registry and see how he did it.
I still have loads of other questions but I'll ask them when I get there. Maybe I'll write a guide so others can do it too.

A Guide Would Be Excellent ZakMcRofl.
