Hey all,
we now see the first two localized WM6 versions popping up (Greek and French). Thats awesome and I think others will certainly follow.
To encourage others to do the same I suggest we write a tutorial (wiki entry) on how to translate a Rom.
I don't have deep insight on how to do it best but I can contribute my knowledge on the following steps:
- extracting Rom
- extracting NBH
- getting (language) files from emulator image
- switching softkeyboard
- rebuilding Rom
I do have some knowledge about the actual translation (replacing MUI files manually, editing initflash, editing registry) but its not good enough (yet) to write a tutorial about it. I'm also not sure if its easily possible to use the packages made from bepe's tool.
What do you think? If someone can fill my gaps I'd use a tried and tested method to build a german Rom.
The benefit I see if we describe the steps good enough:
- could also be used as Rom cooking first steps
- Roms in other languages could be made by those interested
- make it easier for newbs to get involved instead of just demanding
As soon as I have some free time I'll start writing on it but feel free to beat me to it.
