How to translate WM6 ?

---

Hello everyone,

I saw a thread about german translation of the WM6, therefore probably it's possible to translate to other languages as well, right?. Can someone tell a little bit more about this? How this can be done? Thanks in advance for any info

Hi,
I'm making the German translation, but I had some help from a friend working for BenQ-Siemens Germany to do this...
I've got all needed files, so it was very easy to translate the existing WWE rom

You could try to use localized packages from WM5 to localize WM6, but I'm not sure it will be possible, cos I think there might be too many changes

if you would like to try that, you should try my package tool

use it to build packages of your rom and you will see that there are localized packages like: Base_Lang_0409
all this localized packages should be replaced

If U really want 2 translate WM6 U can use ResorceEditor - it exports & imports except others, strings from file. So all the menu items dialogs etc. u get in txt file. then U can start translating. btw. - enjoy

I prefer resource tuner 'cause Resource editor sometime corupted fliles.

hi,
Can anyone tell me what files need to be translated?

I have used package tool to see the files but when i build packages some .dll files show as folders...seems strange.
any help will be appreciated.

thanks

Hi guys... in summary:

- I've extracted the windows folder from a dumped rom (Part02.raw) of an italian localization with rdmsflsh.pl script.
- I've tried to create a packgage with packgage tools, by selecting the dir... but this is the error once selected the extracted dir:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

It does not allow me to build packgages.

I hope i can't copy & rename files manually (they haven't country code inside the name & their size is small copared to original WM6 files).

Please, be patient, i want to make a service to all italians readers..

Ps: if some italian user want to collaborate to my project, please PM me!
When i have a pre-relase version i will open a new topic.
After the keyboard/spellcheck/dictionary customization, if i can, i wish to perform an italian translation of all WM6.


Edit:: ok no errors.. i have packgages

Good!

Good job, if u need help I'm here.. I've tried another way, but I don't know how pakages need to be changed with the italian version.

best way is to wait for dutty ROMKoch v2, download localized WM6 Images from m$hit and extract lang pack.
