Hi all,
I just wrote a small application to change manila language on the fly, don't know if any other application exist to accomplish this task but I was not able to find one so I decided to write my own. MLM connects to my server and checks which languages are available for a given manila build allowing you to:

- Download a language pack for a given manila/sense build
- Install the _manila files in windows directory
- Set the proper registry values

You can choose to execute the operations in separated steps since the language pack (about 50Kb each) are stored on the mobile after download. You can even work offline but only with the builds/languages you have already downloaded.

How to use it:

1) Check your manila build version (you can get it from settings tab => device information, software information)
2) Open Manila language manager
3) Click on "check avail build" from left menu key to fetch builds from server or from disk if you are working offline
4) Select your build and preferred language
5) Click on Go button.
6) Wait for manila to load

REMEMBER:
- Needs .net compact framework 3.5 to work
- Application is at a very early development stage, it works flawlessly on my touch hd (latest NRG rom) but I won't take any responsability in the event it messes up your windows mobile installation so use it at your own risk.

Any comment is appreciated

Could you explain better ? Not sure of what you are referring to but sms notification should be a system feature not manila, hence you cannot translate it using this application.

if i change the manila language ( from english to spanish ) the sms notification does not work ( dont wake up my device and dont sound the alert ), if i change the manila language to english again, it works ok.

i mean :

english language ->> the alert sounds on new sms, and wake up the phone to view the incomming sms.

spanish language->> dont sound on new sms, dont wake up my device, only pressing the power buttom appear the new sms icon ( but no alert/sound/wake up/ nothing )

Really strange, I've checked all the files inside the language packs es-es, ca-es, es-es_tradnl and they are all about language translation, nothing else. I'll let you know as soon as I discover anything.

According to what I am reading in the latest NRG rom thread, it seems to be a bug in the rom that occurs whenever you change the language code. It's not related to MLM, it would behave same way if you change the code manually in the registry.

Happy to see that it works for at least 3 people on 84 downloads :)
I'll try to keep the list updated for future builds. If anyone has valid sources for old manila builds (I need the manila OEMs to create the language packs) I will upload the languages on the server.

Since most ROMs are missing all but the WWE notifications files, changing the language will disable SMS sound and popup.
Take the files in the attached archive, rename them according to your MUI value, and copy to \Windows

@smog: could this be integrated into your app?
