Chinese Input, Dictionary, Calendar, Date & Time on Kaiser?

Sorry if i post at the wrong threads.
I'm interested in this htc kaiser at the first glance on it...
However i do have concern whether this device is can solve my need or not.
Most of the time i need somekind of mobile device that can help me on resolving the Chinese matter, Organizer, etc. With this device, i hope i can replace my mobile phone also.
Though pda phone, smartphone, pocket pc has been in the market for years. I'm not familiar with the technology yet.
Maybe i have been asking too much that i even dream i can just write the chinese word using the touch technology, rather than typing the pinyin.
So the question are:
Will this device (more on wm6) have both traditional and simplified chinese input similiar to windows xp?
Is there a traditional and simplified chinese dictionary software for this device?
Is there a chinese lunar calendar organizer software for this device?
Can it show the chinese lunar date & time besides normal universal date & time at the first screen?

I'm having the same kind of question.
I want to edit (or import) my own chinese dictionary table? How is it possible?

I bet you guys never used a Pocket PC or Windows Mobile before, don't you?
There is NO multilingual version of WM ever released. If it's a Eng version, there's only Eng input methods. If it's Chi, then you got very basic Eng input method plus Chi input methods including handwriting regconition.
However, that doesn't mean that you can't change the rom you are using, nor does that mean that you can't use some Chi add on software like CE-star or Monster.

haha... oh... you got me...
does those software come with dictionary to english and vice versa?
how about the lunar calendar, is there any software that you guys happened to know?
what do you means by changing the rom?

perhaps you can take a look on pdaviet.net

That depends very much on OEM. I know dopod china once bundled dictionary programs for their devices. But even if it don't come with one, you can install one yourself.

I know there's free lunar calendar program out there. Also, there's also a free today plugin for lunar calendar too. But I never used it and can't spell their names... You may want to try the developement forum.

By changing, I mean flasing the rom in other language, if one is available - of course that depends on quite a few things including if the vendor has locked your machine (CID locked) or if any free unlocker available, etc..

Thanks... thanks for the info...

Try CE-Star or Monster Chinese. These are add-ons to enable Chinese for non-Chinese Windows Devices.

Got it.
Thanks

I cannot recommend CE-Star nor Monster Chinese as they have a lot of problems working with Windows Mobile 6.
Because of that I am still looking for a working solution to be able to view and input Simplified Chinese on my UK Kaiser.
Anyone?

I have to come back to my previous post as I have been testing the latest CE-Star software (v2.8R3A) which I downloaded from the PxDxA from a user named Leies and so far it seems to be working rather nicely.
I uploaded the files to the following directory: CE-Star v2.8R3A
Right now only the Simplified Chinese base pack is uploaded but I'll add the traditional Chinese and other input menu's later on today.
I personally used the following files and can confirm that so far they seem to be working
- System_GBKC.cab
- Pinyin.cab
- Penpower_GBK.cab
- Crack_R3a.cab
First install the "System_GBKC.cab and do not reboot, then install the Pinyin.cab and Penpower_GBK.cab.
After that you must go to Start -> Programs -> CE-Star and run "install" and reboot after that.
After the reboot you can (must?) run "Crack_R3a.cab" and everything will work fine.
I suppose you can add the other input systems like "Jianyi.cab" and "ChaJei.cab" and also the Traditional Chinese base pack in the same way.

Best Chinese dictionaries
Guys, in terms of dictionaries for the Kaiser, have a look at Pleco Dict from Pleco Software. I have been learning Mandarin for a few years and found this piece of dictionary software the best, by miles. It has a huge range of functions and a good selction of dictioniaries.
I've run the current version on my MDA Pro, but note that there is a new version imminent and this includes Chinese-Chinese dictionaries. So for native speakers who might not use the language learning aspects of the current programme, the coming version will offer even more.

Hi Tr1gg3R,
I tried your link and not able to get the files. I have tried Monster Chinese on my AT&T Tilt (HTC 8925 or Tynt II) and yes it creates hell of issues such as:
1. Instant Messaging problem originally came with phone won't work (blank white screen now can't select AIM / MSN / Yahoo Messager to sign on)
2. Any / ALL Java applications won't work.
3. Most settings / menus now in Chinese without way to switch to English such as Google Maps
Uninstalling fixed all. I did eninstalled and they all function again.
I would like to try your CE-Star but the link you had is not doing anything. Help? Thanks.

Chinese
I have found a program that seems to work nicely with WM6.1 I have a tilt and it works fine. It does not allow for you to imput chinese other than simple, but it will allow you to read chinese. Also I use DR Eye 2.0 dictionary it slows my system down a little bit, but I really need to have some english to chinese dictionary. I do not know how to upload files but if you want them just send me a PM.

Chinese
I have uploaded the files to my 4shared account the link is. This is where you will find the cab file. I have tested this on most 6.1 roms ans seem to have no real lag or probles, but I only use my PDA for simple apps. If you have any problems let me know. Have fun Flashing

Simplified Chinese Input Output on the Kaiser

I sold my "old" Hermes (SoftBank X01HT) and bought a new Kaiser and so far everything seems to work like it should.
On my old Hermes I managed to install both a font and a SIP to be able to view and input Chinese.
Although this did not always worked 100% it was a reasonable solution.
Now I have the UK edition of the Kaiser and I want to be able to input Chinese.
After searching the internet and trying the "old" PlumSIP 5, which I got from a colleague because it supported the keyboard in the Hermes and worked fine. I found out that it does not seem to work on the Kaiser.
Could anyone point me in the right direction to be able to input and output SimplifiedChinese on my Kaiser?
Now I managed to find a font, which I believe is from Windows Vista, for Simplified Chinese and it seems to work although not 100%.
It does manages to display Simplified Chinese in e-mail and the Pocket Internet Explorer but when I copy Chinese from an email to the browser, it messes up the chinese.
Does anyone have a working solution to be able to display and input Simplified Chinese on the Kaiser?
If these is a paid program which does work then I have no problems paying for it.
But so far "Monster Chinese" and "CE-Star" both **** up the device

A bit sad to reply to my own post, but none the less....
When using CE-Star V2.8R3A with the included Simplified Chinese base and Pinyin + Handwriting input everything seems to be working fine.
I also have Monster Chinese 6 but have not yet had the time to test it.

I installed CE-Star, and I can input, but it all becomes squares, as before.
HOW TO find a font that works, and where to install it? I use the seach function and keep ending up in something too complicated!
To begin with, I just want the squares to become chinese hanzi signs, simplified chinese at least ...

[Request] Japanese Text Support

Hello everyone!
As the title indicates, I'm trying to get Japanese text support on my HD but I'm hitting a few snags.
I've managed to get partial support following instructions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445550
Opera can correctly display Japanese characters now.
But my main issue is Outlook. It refuses to show Japanese text in emails. It replaces it with loads of funny symbols...
I'm using Dutty's 2.3 Xtreme by the way.
I would greatly appreciate any help on this matter!

do not use the dutty 2.3,new RHODIUM didnt support non western code well
just use dutty 2.1
you can solve the problem

Okay, after installing Dutty's 2.1, what sofware(s) would you recommend to get Japanese text support? Freeware would be preferable... ^^'
Also, I just thought I'd mention this: after installing "Lets Japan no 6" I managed to get almost full Japanese support with Dutty's 2.3X. But this also seemed to cause some very strange bugs while typing normal western text...
Thanks,
WmH

Thai Version of TD2

Hi I want to buy a Touch Diamond 2 for brother in law who is Thai. He wants version that has Thai language.
Does anyone know which region version I should buy.

Normally, there is no any ROM that has Thai!
For Thai ROM is developed by Thai's web forum calls PDAMOBIZ.COM
But, it is still no ROM for Topaz, due to it very new.
However, if your brother in law can use english menu, there are some Thai company that sell Thai software calls ThaiWinCE and Thai-g (for me, now I recomended ThaiWinCE).
That you can buy from them via there homepage.
In the software, there will give you Thai input Keyboard, Thai Regional setting and make your WM phone able to read Thai.

There is also something called korechithai.cab that install thai fonts (and other south-eastern fonts I think) and basic WinMo thai input keyboard (to be used with a stylus, but it is better than nothing). I do not know if it is related to the ones mentioned in previous post (an earlier version maybe?), but afaik it is free, i did found it on Thai WinCE message boards. I installed it on my previous PDA, and re-installed it on my TD2. No compatibility issues, although the cab was for an earlier version of WinMo, it is still working nicely on 6.1 topaz...
It allows me to use free thai-english dictionary (there is also one hanging around, using the MDict engine), I will check during my next trip to thailand if it work for viewing thai characters in SMS in Touchflo and browse thai website...
But as the previous poster said, this will not change the WinMo menus, nor touchflo3D, not any pre-installed apps: those will remain in the language your Topaz came pre-installed with...which, in my case, is a blessing ;-)

Thanks for the replies.
I will try the korechithai.cab on my device later. If it is ok then I will just buy him a UK version.

I installed the korechithai.cab but now both my volume buttons & the call answer button no longer work.
Anyone have this problem & know how to fix it.

Strange, I installed it too and I do not have this problem...Have you soft resetted your TD2?
BTW, after expansion my korechithai gives different cab:
KbdChinese.cab
KbdKorean.cab
KbdThai.cab
korechithai4ppc.cab
SIPChange.cab
I installed korechithai4ppc.cab first (this gave the thai fonts, so I was already able to read thai words in my dictionary after this install)
then KbdThai.cab, this added the thai keyboard (classic WM keyboard format, so stylus-oriented, or can work with fingers...if you have very sharp nails ;-) )
I did not install SIPChange.cab, this one is not compatible with 6.1 (or so it says in the instruction). I think it is intended for deeper change (program shortcuts, maybe some OS messages or menus), things I had no intention to change anyway.
I you have installed SIPChange.cab, I suspect it is the origin of your problem. I would try to uninstall it, and if it does not work, only solution I see is a hard reset, then try the installation of korechithai4ppc.cab then KbdThai.cab only...

Is it possible to tell me where to download korechithai4ppc.cab of better still can you email it to me. I have tried but can't find it anywhere.
The korechithai.cab I downloaded from here http://my.opera.com/cameron_en/blog/2008/02/03/ime-complete-installation-files-download-section does not work properly.

Chinese display support for WWE ROMs(CHT/CHS PinYin IME added, Apr,2010)

I love using WWE ROMs but I have to read/type Chinese on my phone since most of my friends are Chinese. By searching on the Internet, I made a Chinese support pack by myself. Seeing there are some threads talking about Chinese support, I would like to share my work with all of you.
(I've checked it again and again to make sure it enables Chinese display with min change to the system, while other methods like installing CEStar will be a big project.)
To enable Chinese displaying on your PPC, you must have:
1, a WinCE.nls that supports GB/Big5 encoding(Chinese encoding);
2, a font that includes Chinese characters.
I have packed the above stuff into 2 cabs.
BasicSupport.cab installs a WinCE.nls extracted from Hong Kong Official Chinese ROM to your \Windows folder and set your "Region" to "Chinese(PRC)" by default(it won't affact English displaying).
For Traditional Chinese users, please set your Region to "Chinese(TW/HK/Macao)". This step is to enable GB/Big5 on your phone to display non-unicode Chinese characters.
FontDiamondJH.cab includes a font(微软正黑) from HK Official CHT Diamond ROM that includes 99% of both Simplified & Traditional Chinese characters.
FontCrystalHei.cab includes a font from HK Official Pro2 Asia ROM that includes 99% of both Simplified & Traditional Chinese characters.
FontPMingLiu.cab includes a font(細明體) from HK Official Pro2 Asia ROM.
FontMSYHWin7.cab includes a font from MS Windows 7(微软雅黑).( too big, Go to alternative download to get this)
It's not a must to make 2 cabs, just easier for me to replace/update either the font or WinCE.nls respectively. You can merge them into one cab if you like.
Perform a soft-reset after installing these two cabs and your phone is ready for Chinese.
Tested on ROMs for Touch Pro2:
CELL PRO
CELL EVO PRO
Energy ROM
AthineOS
Valkyrie FireStorm
Rhodium_AF
HK/EU Official WWE ROM
According to the same principles, these two cab should also work on other HTC WM6.1/6.5/6.5.3 devices like Touch Pro(Tested), Diamond(Tested), Diamond2(Tested), HD2, etc.
Install any Chinese IME you like after you enabled Chinese display.
Suggested IME:
QQ PinYin: hard-keyboard, CHT/CHS switch,etc. but doesn't have Qucik,Cangjie,WuBi version yet, only PinYin
There is another option: PlumSIP(modified by myself) , supports PinYin, Quick, Cangjie, WuBi.
Download site:
http://cid-00064b7b21604ad4.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Pro2/Chinese Related

KeypadPYPatch.cab to enable PinYin index in your dialer and contacts. You should install this if you have lots of Chinese contacts.

Thanks! Appreciate your work and letting the rest of us know.

THX!

What version of CELL PRO did you perform the test?
I'm on V10.1. Won't even let me install the BasicSupport.cab.

Is UCWEB works with your Chinese display support? I installed Rickey 14M YaHei Chinese fonts, it works fine except for UCWEB.

I have been using the same thing for years
Your method seems too overly complicated.
I posted a method on the XDA-developers wiki a few years back when I figured out the best way to get Chinese/Japanese display support. I have been using this since my first Windows 2003 PDA over 6 years ago.
The best thing is it is only 1.8 megs total and it has full support for ALL Chinese and Japanese including Chinese pinyin.
Check it out on the Wiki here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweak_Language_Chinese
If you want Chinese input, I use PlumSIP and it works great with the keyboard, as I use the "Mail" button to easily switch between English and Chinese, or even between different input methods of English (such as T9) and Chinese (such as stroke based). Anyone interested in this? This tops out at a 3.6 meg download.

I finally got UCWEB worked!! Thanks! I just removed the Ricky YaHei font pack & installed the Chinese support, then UCWEB worked!!
Thanks again for the excellent work!

I believe that my cab is a more simplified one than that in wiki(maybe mine look complicated by telling all the principle) and I have removed all unnecessary steps for WM6.1/6.5/6.5.3, all you have to do is to install two cabs.
I'm using Plum too, Keycode.ini have to be modified to suit the Pro2 keyboard(mostly for the symbols and "C/E" switch). I have both Chs and Cht version, like 拼音/五笔/速成/比划/仓颉.
Alternative IME like A4 is also great. By the way, PlumSIP had been sold to Sohu so it's new version is called Sogou Mobile IME(搜狗手机输入法).

Hi ChiYuen,
This is wonderful stuff!!!
I'm using the HD2 with the Asian WWE 1.66 installed and it works beautifully!
Only problem is that since the english font is in bold typeface, it would be perfectly if the chinese font could also be bold.
I know I'm a little bit picky but that's perfection, man!
Keep up the good work!!!
Cheers!

I think using a cab, you could just pop in the 1 file and 1 reg entry and have the simplest solution! And still smaller
On another note, PluSip is now Sogou IME? Damn, I never liked the Sogou IME for Windows (though it's prediction is better than the MS one), I always use the Google one, as I consider it far better.

On that note, I decided to just do that:
I have attached a cab that supports Traditional, Simplified, Pinyin, and Japanese characters...
Let me know how it works!
I originally got the font file off of my first Chinese bought Windows phone. In those days the engineers at MS figured out a way to compress and simplify the font set of all needed Chinese/Japanese characters for use on devices that did not have a lot of space to spare (i.e. 16 megs).

I can use different cabs to switch fonts without touching WinCE.nls, that's why I divided my pack into two parts, part one is WinCE.nls while part 2 is the font.
In fact the Diamond font(in my first post) is not the only font cab I made, I did also make cabs including TouchPro2 chinese font, WinVista YaHei font or other chines fonts, so that I can install the font I like.

That's all about the font. The Diamond font from HK official ROM is not a bold one. You can use your own favourite Chinese font you like, just modify my font cab using WinCAB Manager, put in your own font, change the reg entry, you can make your own font cab.
Or you can send me the font you like, I can make a cab for you.
I was looking for many different fonts but the Diamond Font is still my favourite font so far.

yeah, I guess I am just looking for the smallest size possible, while also including Japanese... I guess it comes from the day when I only had a meager 24 megabytes of storage space so I had to be frugal!
Maybe we should cab all the different font styles and post them on the wiki?

thanks for you share !
