[Released Translation TUTORIAL] - HOW to translate ANY ROM

[Tna]

Hi!

After a long time of trying to cook custom roms in greek language I am ready to post a small tutorial on how to translate your Rom to your Language using kitchens with a quick and dirty way .

Attention there is a better way to do so but this is what I Do to make my Greek ROMS


Step 1)
a)Download your language emulator Files from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=38c46aa8-1dd7-426f-a913-4f370a65a582&DisplayLang=en#filelist (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=38c46aa8-1dd7-426f-a913-4f370a65a582&DisplayLang=en#filelist)

(b) extract the files in a new folder.



Slumpolo 's suggestion:

-----
to extract files from the emulation rom follow this direction:

- Download Tadzio's imgfs excelent tools in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298327 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298327)
- Unzip the tools along with the image in any folder.
- Rename the image to A.BIN (to make the next commands easier to type).
- Open a D.O.S. command window and perform these commands:

Code:
> NBSPLIT -emu A.BIN
(it generates two files: A.BIN.EXTRA and A.BIN.PAYLOAD)

> IMGFSFROMNB A.BIN.PAYLOAD IMGFS.BIN
(it generates the file IMGFS.BIN)

> IMGFSTODUMP IMGFS.BINAnd that's all. Files are dumped in /Dump directory


-----

(c) Rename ALL the 4xx files to 409 (e.g. 0408.mui -> 0.409.mui) Apply this to all files and folders (an eyasier way to do that is to search from windows for all *408* files and then rename them)


Slumpolo's suggestion
----

For step 1c) during the translation of italian rom for the mui files that resides in directory I edited also a file (simply with Supered) that has a line that pointed to the 0410 files (ea. italian) and changed this to 409.

----




Step 2)
Find your BASE ROM.


Step 3)
Download your Kitchen. I prefered Anichillus kitchen due to the fact that supports ROM dumping in an easy way


Step 4)
Dump ROM ( If you use Anichullus Kitchen , follow the manual but Stop BEFORE using Bepe's Package TOOL !


Step 5)
Go to DUMP folder ,(eg C:\core\extract\dump) and paste ALL the language files you have renamed from step 1c . ATTENTION you have to copy and paste ALL files from your language folder AFTER you have renamed them to 409 . REPLACE duplicate files


Step 6)
Continue with kitchen steps . For instance if you were to use Bepe's Package TOOL , go on and build the packages.

Step 7)
Edit Initflashes.dat file . Information on how to do that are in every cooking tutorial. In Intflashes.dat file you will have to translate all the links and directories according to your language files. CAUTION if you make mistakes in translation your WM6 will be crappy and programs may not start

->In order to make a good translation check your original rom, or try the WM6 emulator wth your language files and check the directory names (eg
folder Programs in Greek have to be Προγράμματα)

Step 8)
Save Initflashes.dat in unicode and remove first two bytes with a hex editor


Step 9)
Choose your OEM packages.


For GREEK USERS : If you need a greek software keyboard like the original one I have made an OEM package that allows you to do so


Slumpolo's suggestion

------
For step 9) / 10) about keyboard, you must add with a oem package also:
- dictionary in your language
- settings for your language
- t9 dictionary for your language
- for keyboard layout make this registry mod:


Code:
Registry Editor:
HKCU >> ControlPanel >> Keybd
Create a string "Locale" with "0410" vale. Everything without "Where 0410 is your country value.
------


Step 10)
build your rom according to your kitchen manual



I hope this helps

Good luck with your tries

[slumpolo]

I have used the same method for the italian version but you must translate also some parts of .hv files and .rgu or you must pay more attention during the translation of initflashfiles.dat because not all links and directories can be translated without .hv and .rgu editing.
My suggestion? Edit only initflashfiles.dat :)

Some add for your excellent tutorial:

----

For step 1b) to extract files from the emulation rom follow this direction:

- Download Tadzio's imgfs excelent tools in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298327
- Unzip the tools along with the image in any folder.
- Rename the image to A.BIN (to make the next commands easier to type).
- Open a D.O.S. command window and perform these commands:

> NBSPLIT -emu A.BIN
(it generates two files: A.BIN.EXTRA and A.BIN.PAYLOAD)

> IMGFSFROMNB A.BIN.PAYLOAD IMGFS.BIN
(it generates the file IMGFS.BIN)

> IMGFSTODUMP IMGFS.BIN


And that's all. Files are dumped in /Dump directory

----

For step 1c) during the translation of italian rom for the mui files that resides in directory I edited also a file (simply with Supered) that has a line that pointed to the 0410 files (ea. italian) and changed this to 409.

Where 0410 is your country value.

Very good..now i can direct all people who ask this question here.
Great initiative :cool:

Thanks

[slumpolo]

Thanks

slumpolo can you post info about the which parts of hv files you edit?

I'll post everything next week. All my files are in office :)

[phsnake]

btw. as far as i know only certain wm6 builds can be translated using EMU mui files. i dont remember build no's.

[Tna]

Why is that ? What are the restrictions?

[ZorgX]

does it work for Universal to ?

[phsnake]

thats what i wrote above, as far as i know(consulted with bepe) 17913 build its not supported(latest uni) it must be build ???? i remember there is 4 in build no. cannot fint irc log with that conv. with bepe

[therealholg]

Hi and thanks for your tutorial. I try to go a different way and want to port over a hermes mui cab to get german wm6. i have some trouble of getting it done.
- the file explorer draws no softkeybar, so it is not usable. does anyone know what files i need therefore?
- the free space when installing a cab isn't displayed correctly

what have i done?
- i took the cab from asukal and removed hermes specific things
- afterwards i copy the files from the emulator image to get newest versions of the files.

if somebody want to test it - here you go:
http://www.gsm-multifund.de/holg/Making_German_Wizard.cab

i would appreciate every help.
best greetings
holg

[phsnake]

answer from midget about builds that can be translated:the changes from 17740-5 are not language related so the mui's work for all of them

[therealholg]

i tried a newer rom and also got no luck with the file explorer. does anybody know what file is responsible for translating the file explorer?

[Tna]

No i don't... since file explorer is the least used program i didn't really care about it ...

so sorry but i can't help in that ... why don't you leave it as it is ?

[ditheo]

i think filesys.exe.0409.mui

[Tna]

I think that he has found the file. The problem is about the softkey .

Try using reshack tool (it can be found in most kitchens) and open the mui file. search for the softkey

But yet I am not sure ...

[therealholg]

yeah thanks for the suggestions
i personally like the build in filexplorer, cause it is fast and has softkey control, it's good if you just browse and open a file.

filesys.exe.0407.mui is already inserted in windows directory, so i will test with reshack,but at the moment i am a little busy.

Hi people

About the translation... i have one question.
After doing the "IMGFSTODUMP IMGFS.BIN" command, and all files are in the Dump Directory... besides the files with 4xx names, there are also some folders with 4xx names... and inside those folders are some files also with 4xx names.
Do i have to rename the folders and the files inside those folders, or just the files... or just the folders.
And one thing more... for example the folder "bbcbres.dll.0816.mui" inside these folder, one of the files called "imageinfo.txt".. inside this txt there's something written on the first line : " Module name: bbcbres.dll.0816.mui" if i have to change the name of the file inside the folder called "bbcbres.dll.0816.mui".... do i have to change this line also inside the txt ???

Thanks

[4irm]

how about the hardware keyboard? because I am on a German MDA Vario, Wizard of course, since we are using QWERTZ instead of QWERTY?

Will this be fixed automatically as well?

Cheers.

You have to change all the *0816*. There is no need to change the folders al long as you rename the *.816* files that are included in those folders. There is no need to change the imageinfo since your are not going to replace the original one.

After renaming All the files (including the language files inside the folders) then you shoud copy only THESE files to your dumped ROM .

[therealholg]

no ... look for hades language pack to fix that, too

[jwzg]

Moving to dev. and hacking since it isn't Wizard specific.

What are you do? Du you want create a new Rom for your Phone? What type is your Phone? Or do you want create a Emulator Image?

Create a working Emulator Image isnt supported by any cooking tool. If this info are wrong ... correct them :->

If you want create a image for a unsupported device you get this error too.

[itje]

I can onlu answer for me though, but im trying to extract the norwegian setup for phonepad for my htc4350 witch I have recently installed wm6, but it has Russian phonepad. I have tried to change the setup to norwegian, but cant find any other solutions then the one suggested in this post. But if there is any other I really would appreciate suggestions :)

[ZorgX]

for universal can i use Professional VGA or Professional image ?

[ITAXBoss]

Sameone have cook italy room 06 for htc tytn and can host for me ? bye

Can I get a link to windows mobile 5.0?

[Tna]

Sorry I don't have any link for wm5 customization

[kevdawg]

Mostly i was looking for a language emulator file (In spanish). I was going to (attempt to)apply this excellent tutorial to WM5.

[dancer_69]

I use language extender and I found that you can save with the testWM5 the translated mui files into a dump directory, and I think you can use them with this tutorial to put them in your rom.
Maybe this helps!

[kevdawg]

I will give it a try! Thanks.

I want to translate JPN to ENG. By doing this, I went thru so many ways including this tutorial and Bepe's Tools.

First, I am using Benq P51 WM5 AKU 3.5.0 ROM. I did my search and I found P51 newest ROM in WM6 JPN here at xda-developers and the info on Bepe's Tools are as follows:

**Note: Finally, I got the dump for .nb0 file by using mamiach's Tools. I'm trying to do the next step. I rename the 409 (WM6 EMU ENG ROM) into 411. I replaced to folder 411 most of them. When I use Bepe's Tools open it. I got the error "package sof missing."

Any advices ???

Help me plz .. I want to use WM6 also.

1. Is it possible that I use someone ROM from other devices to edit it for my Benq P51, I see only HTC or ATOM here?

1.1 If yes, Could you give me advice from scratch?
1.2 I'd like to learn many ways to edit .. cooking ROM. That's why, I couldn't miss any basic steps here.

Thank you so much for all your help. I'd appreciate it.

[neogin]

NOTE NOTE ::
My friend told me today that .. I have to do the BuildImgfs .. (I did it and It seemed that I got good result from it .. looked from the processing went thru so well)

Next, he told me to do the make_imgfs but I got errors on this step. He told me to do the checksum at this point.

I don't know the checksum step and he couldn't help me on this also. He isn't an expert.

[neogin]

Alright .. I'm so close to the final step.

Do you know how to do package to dump?

I used buildOS from xplode's .. Got errors .. either can't find the os or can't open the input file.

i'm trying to make a greek rom for prophet but i have some questions.i dumped the files from wm6 emulator image and the files from base rom (tnt 4.0 for prophet). i renamed and replaced all the mui files. but when i open the dump folder inside package tool it says something about missing files. i found the missing files but i don't know where to put them. and i also got an error when i was building packages for a dublicate file. but this file wasn't dublicated.it was the dll and a folder called <dllname>.0409.mui.

A little help would be great.

Hello,

excuse for my bad english. I have tried to convert with the help of the tutorial an english ROM into a german. I used in addition the hypercor kitchen. Up to the point BuildOS I can see in the core to lists \SYS\Base_Lang_0409 the exchanged file MUI. If I BuildOS explain only the list exists in the temp/dump without file MUI. After the Build of ROM, it also is furthermore everything into english. What do I make wrong? Thank you for the help.

chris

PS: I test BuildOS 0.90beta and 0.91beta

Supplement, the test with a not changed ROM runs out to the same one. Are the System-MUI files put down by BuildOS in another file? *.hv?

[yulik]

Alright .. I'm so close to the final step.

Do you know how to do package to dump?

Hello,

I don't understand, with the last Tadzio's imgfs ( 2.1 rc2) nbsplit didn't have the "emu" argument !!!

so NBSPlit -emu a.bin cannot execute !!

An idea ?? Thanks !! :)

P.S. found it. thx

Can i modify an existing wm 6.1 wwe?

[ady_uaic]

i have some questions:
1. i've downloaded from microsoft the file Windows Mobile 6 Standard Images (ROM).msi and after i've run it, i have 3 files: SP_ROM_GSM_QVGA_LS_VR.bin, SP_ROM_GSM_QVGA_VR.bin and SP_ROM_GSM_VR.bin. which one should i use for htc diamond, or htc p3300/artemis?

2.i've selected one of that file, and after dumping, i have in the dump folder a lots of folders called ....0409.mui and ...0418.mui (0418 is for romania, as i want). which one should i rename, and what for, if them are allready named in this way?

3. 'find your base rom' - can you be more specific? which base rom? any rom, for ex. wm 6.1?

4.


Hi!


(c) Rename ALL the 4xx files to 409 (e.g. 0408.mui -> 0.409.mui) Apply this to all files and folders (an eyasier way to do that is to search from windows for all *408* files and then rename them)

Step 2)
Find your BASE ROM.

I have already read this thread but still have a question.
I live in Czech Republic. Bought a TP when it first showed up. It was WWE one without Czech localization. Then someone came with CZ language extracted from Diamond. It was done by the Czech company called "Sunnysoft". They make soft "Interwrite" and that is what they put in the localized Diamonds/TP. Yep, it is not freeware.
BUT, the TP version is the same as Diamond and it is buggy because of incorrect support of TP hardware keyboard. There is also SIP keyboard in the instalation, but I do not like it either. So I searched and found Resco keyboard which is highly customizable and suits my needs best. Then I got an idea. How about use the Sunnysoft product only to localize my windows os. Yep, the soft puts all the *.0405.mui files in the machine correctly and therefore translate the system. My thought was that the *.0405.mui files were MS product anyway, available in the MS Emulator for example so what I wanted was not cracking the commercial soft nor breaking any copyrights.
I deCABbed the installation and this operation created 5 separate cabs for five languages. Picked mine (CZ) and deCABbed again. Then I got all the *.0405.mui files needed to localize my system plus localization for several OEM apps. I also got some .xml and .dll files and also .ini files.
Now, I am new in this whole stuff. But I know I would need to make some registry changes, not only copy the locales into windows dir. So I stepped back and took another approach then and went the known route of extracting localization files from MS Emulator. Then I compared the files from both approaches and obviously there were differences - not only in number of files but also in size of those with the same name. So I would like to stick with the first option and use the files extracted from Sunnysoft cab.

After I decompiled the cab, the files are all in on directory. The xml file should help to put them in apropriate directories, but I am lost as it is a huge xml file. I think the dll's I got after extraction are related to the keyboard driver, but I am not sure.

Anyone would like to help me shed some light on this project?

Thanks a lot.

It's a really great tutorial. But too complicated for me personally. I tried to build something but it never worked on my HTC. I found an alternative - some guys develop mui rom packages for free - http://alocala.com . This works fine for me. I've asked for Onyx spanish and he did it for me in several days.
