Can the WM5 emulator be used to localize WM5 on BA?

I have downloaded and played a bit with the Microsoft Device Emulator (a WM2003SE og WM5 Pocket PC on your PC, a lot of fun!) and it has a norwegian languague version as well. Can I copy files from that to give my WM5 Blue Angel a norwegian WM5? That would really be cooooool! 8)

Hi!
Changeing OS language, till WM203,we can change with replacing MUI files from Emulater.
But on WM5.0, the system files on ROM shall be ignored and cant effective,if the over writed on the original.
Only the way you have to make your ROM with MUI of your language and flash it.
i am working how to replace (over right) on to ROM system files now, but my poor skill can not find solution yet.
this was from another post.

Sorry to jump in with an unrelated question but I was wondering if you could point me to the link(s) that will help me better to understand how to change my VPA Compact II to English. I have a few tools which I got here and I am really not sure if I am going to do some damage or not and thought I would ask. Your post is the only one that directly refers to this VPA and any help would be greatly appreciated.
So far I will:
1. Change some settings with the hex editor?
2. Load ROM: K-JAM_WWE_1010903_106_10110_ship.exe onto the storage card?
3. Reset the device?
4. Drink a beer & try again?
Please notice that they are all questions as I am unsure of the exact process for the whole ordeal.
Thanks and have a great day,
ITTIA

After changing the locale code don't SoftReset device, you should turn Power Off and On.

Anybody know what the locale number is for the US keyboard layout?
Thanks!
Cheers...

For those who would like to know: US layout = 409.
Cheers!

If you don't want to edit the registry manually try using Registry Wizard. It's available for download in the regular Wizard forum and has an option for keyboard layout.

How change keyboard layout

Hi guys - I flashed my German Vodafone VPA compact II with the new Qtek ROM (incl.AKU2) 2.17.7.2 WWE. I love it, it works perfect - but there is only one problem : how can I change to the German keyboard layout (QWERTZ; the symbol layout (reachable with the red key) is also completely different from the US one !) ???
I already tried to modify the registry keys (HKCU/keyboard layout and HKCU/Control panel/keybd) but without any effect - the device stays with US keyboard layout !
Can somebody help me ??
Thanx
Joe

same problem here
the often posted reg edits don't seem to work on new rom.
please help
Regards,
Andreas

ah well.. wait for the new German ROM then I guess
/me hates on localization some

Keyboard layout
The issue is, that I will have the operating system all in english, but change only the locale for the German keyboard mapping ! Is it not possible to extract the ROM, patch the keybord table and then flash it back ?? I guess that they have removed the other mappings due to size problems and thats the reason why the reg settings don't work :?
Joe

I hope it is possible to change with some registry edits

OK, after reading more carefully all the other postings, finally I got it !
How to make it :
Insert a new key(MUST be string type NOT Dword !!) 'Locale' under HKCU/ControlPanel/Keybd. The value is then '0407' (this is for a German keyboard layout). After that do a soft reboot (switching device off/on with the power on/off switch) - works great. The only thing that remains unsolved, is the ability of typing 'umlaut'; i.e. [a]+[red key]+[space bar] should give 'ä' but results in 'à'.
When somebody has also a solution for this, let us now
Joe

the Umlaute are stated in the sym.txt in your windows folde. Just edit 'em or use my language pack for there are more "bugs" for Germans using english ROMs (e.g. Transcriber, autocomple,..)
look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43680&highlight=german+language

Good one - I'll add that to the language changing WiKi.

Changing keyboard language (and dictionary)

I have just installed a new rom for my S730 (from thread called NEW ROM FOR s730er(20279) )
Works pretty nifty (after changing language to english), but I got some other problems.
My old Æ, Ø, Å (danish letters) dosn't work anymore. Before they worked fine with the fn-key.. I guess it's some registry fix I have to make it work?
Also, is it possible to install some danish dictionary?
Thanks

My guess is that that ROM doesn not contain Danish xt9 ldb files (and probably it doesn't contain keymap as well). You'll need the 0406/1030 files. You can extract those from a WM6.1 rom that does, then copy the Danish files over to your English ROM, add registry entries and you're settled.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360126 would be a good starting point, since the Vox (S710) and the Wings (S730) are more or less identical (for this matter, that is). Also read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319353.

I followed the instructions in the latter link above. The only thing to watch-out for is that in the registry you may get "Vox" instead of "Wings". Either rename the file or change the registry.
I've attached the keyboard data.

French
I read this :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...Mobile Smartphone Internationalization Issues
and succeeded to make the cabs for french, you can find the cab's here :
http://dl.free.fr/B4Dd7F/HTC-S730
attached the cabs because the link doesn't work anymore

Russian
Need russian keyboard for S730. Any suggestions/files? Even without xT9...

I've managed to get Danish keyboard and dictionary just fine. One thing though. Before the 6.1 upgrade word-suggestion would suggest words with æøå even if I just wrote eoa. Example: If I wrote "star" it would suggest "står" too.
Any way to get that functionality back? Kinda of character alias function or similar.
Thanks for any input.

I would like to hear if it is possible to get original scandinavian "HTC WINGS S730" Keyboard settings - in a cab - ready to installation, so letters like æ ø å would be listed in their original places, on the HTC keyboard, like fn + arrow right = Å etc.
PS. I had before a working version of the WM6 on a S730 ..
Then i installed 6.1 US English(flashed version) and the danish keyboard layout suddenly disappeared.
Thanks in advance.

1plus1is2, I followed this to re-enable my keyboard.

Thank you Perfect (Merci). Thanks for the T9 as well exactly what I needed

Switching the hadrware-keyboard layout from German to English

Hi,
I just installed a german ROM on my english TyTN II, so the hardware keyboard is set to german. I've only found cabs to switch from english to german but not the other way...
I also found that:
changing HKLM|Hardware|DeviceMap|Keybd > CurLang to your CountryID
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But in my registry there is no 'CurLang'-value at that path.
Have I to set value by my self, or is there an other way to switch the layout back?
Maybe someone got an ideae
Greetings Oli
P.S.: I use the "M-Diamond v1.4 Full with SqlCE Mobile 3.5" (WM 6.1) ROM

Hi, welcome to XDA !
This topic has be adressed already. Addtionnaly, it is recommended to post in the thread of your ROM, as this problem could ROM specific .
If you do not have CurLang, you could try to create it (DWORD) and set the Hexadecimal value to 407 (which is the value for German layout).
Then soft reset, worth the try . If it's still not working, try searching around, you may find quickly what you want!

Yea I've been studying the keyboard related posts here before I posted the message. I only found topics that dealt with us-layout->other-layout problems and for that, there are many fixes around.
But right now I found a workaround witch worked in that post.
THIS IS NOT A TILT KEYBOARD FIX SOLUTION but a workaround for people having an original TYTN II with QWERTY hw keyboard and ROM in a differnet language. Below sample is for a German ROM flashed into a US original KAIS130:
There are few registry entries you have to change.
First set:
[HKCU\MUI]
CurLang = 1033 (or HEX 0x409) - IMPORTANT, set this first!!!
Then go to
[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts]
and - to be on the save side - go through all SUB KEYS and set all "00000407" values to "00000409" (Do not rename the keys themself!)
there is still one SUBKEY which has your language written as a string:
[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\0000 0407]
"Layout Text" = "German"
Change the above entry to "US", soft reset your device - done!
- - -
Just keep in mind: above sample is for a German ROM (407) - if you flashed a different language to an english device, then the "407" will be something corresponding to your language.
