hi, i wan to install chinese on X1... wat should i do??
Use google my friend but that will probably bring you back to these forums. You can't change the language in Windows Mobile. You'll need to flash the ROM of your phone, and write the chinese X1 ROM on to it. I'm looking into it myself to, and as far as I know it isn't without risk and it's quite a specific procedure.
Perhaps these topics will get you started:
XPERIA X1 ROMs: All available ROMs and RADIOs
Flash X1 without PC - Micro SD Method
Tutorial: Debranding the X1 / Flashing ROMs
Actually you can install CE-Star on your mobile. That'll get you up and running with Chinese.
CE-Star does indeed can even change the menus of a English ROM into Chinese.
On the topic of the Chinese input and reading only, I use CE-Star to get the reading and fonts. However CE-Star's input method is pretty archaic and IMO doesn't gel with the hardware keyboard very well. For example there is no keyboard short cut to switch between English and Chinese input on the fly (at least none I can find).
After some research on mainland China Sony Ericsson websites comes up PlumSIP to be a very popular input software in mainland China. It uses the "au" key on the hardware keyboard as a toggle between Chinese and English input. You can download it free in on the developer's website below.
http://www.dayhand.com/
I don't know if it'll work without CE-Star, I haven't tired to have PlumSIP without CE-Star. I've both installed and use PlumSIP for input. The other WM Chinese input software ZTA4 (is also good) doesn't work without CE-Star installed to read Chinese.
<EDIT> Ok I double read the Chinese site, and you can use PlumSIP without CE-Star, just add the fonts to display Chinese text. For more info check this thread: http://sebbs.it168.com/thread-1370026-1-2.html
is there anyway i can change chinese interface to english? i search it on the forums and all i got is i need to flash rom on my phone. so,, there is really no other way to do it myself??
where should I save the font on the X1?? I installed the PlumSIP on the X1 but it just shows squares... please help!

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.

I just searching the stable verson for my kaiser.
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.

it works for my prophet
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.
Vindi
Maybe you folks can try my rom. WWE w/ Chinese i (hand written)/o support.

is there a way to just display traditional chinese??
i dont need to input i just want it to show chinese instead of boxes when i put chinese songs on my phone or viewing webpages
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

HTC TYTN II rom changes daily.
HTC TYTN...Chew toy for my dog.
HTC touch. Stolen by my wife
HTC oh I have too many to list since I live in taiwan and my friend owns a computer store.
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 ...

Sorry I posted this in the Rom section, could the mods delete it?
I've used the Trinity Roms that supports Chinese, but it crashes at least once a day and resets itself to factory settings randomly.
Yesterday I flashed to Duttys_5.2.20764.1.4.3_V4_Full_MSVC__2.03_ It seemed stable enough but it doesn't have Chinese support.
Searching on the XDA forum got me to ime-mingliu.cab but it says only supports Traditional Chinese. Could someone please point me to a Simplified support?
I need English interface with Chinese display support.
Also I use Plum 1.6 for input, but that might also be the reason why Trinity crashed, could someone suggest something similar to that and link me?
try this app "zta4"
go google it, its free
try googling CE-Star 2.8 R3c
The problem with CE Star is that it's a paid software
(if you don't want to use it illeagally) Anyway the C version doesn't even have a crack anyway.
Therefore I suggest you to use Ricky's pack (try to make a search with Chinese font as keywords in Diamond forum, you'll find it.
This is what I did, and I've been using this pack for a couple of weeks without any trouble.
Enjoy!
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.
For anyone who's interested I have found a fully compatible version of korenchithai4ppc.cab at this link http://sinocom.ru/index.php?topic=159.msg3006;topicseen as you can see it is in Russian but all you need do is scroll down approx 2/3rds of the thread & the link for rapidshare is there.
I just purchased a T8285 recently, but need help in flashing/changing the interface language to Traditional Chinese.
As all you know, the T8285 is the Australian version (supports 850 3G band).
I need the ROM language version from T8282 in Traditional Chinese (sold in Asia -- aka Taiwan/Hong Kong version).
I have not done any phone ROM flashing before, so a step-by-step instruction would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks again!
Starting with the "sticky" threads and the wiki would help you alot!

Most shipped roms, just find the one in the language you need: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Ship_exe
Finding a ROM in traditional Chinese may prove difficult here. For the most part, you're going to have to look on forums that center around the Taiwan and Hong Kong XDA communities. While xda-developers is perceived by many as the "main" xda site, in reality it is almost completely devoid of Asian language ROMs. Usually what you'll find here in CHT are crap ROMs from a long ago.
For Simplified Chinese CHS: you can turn to http://bbs.592ppc.com and http://www.xda-china.com. 592 is also a good place to get provisioning CABs for the three 3G networks on the mainland.
For Traditional Chinese CHT:
http://forum.5imobile.tw/forumdisplay.php?f=41
Also, htc-world.com etc. I don't really know much about the CHT scene, but there seem to be many ROMs to choose from.
If what you want is just the ability to operate in a Chinese world with your phone, it is rather easy to add Chinese language support to an English phone. While the system pages may still be written in English, applications will have no trouble displaying Chinese and you'll be able to send and receive text in Chinese.
To do this you'll need:
1) An Asian language supporting wince.nls file. You just use Total commander to copy it over the file in your \Windows directory.
2) A traditional Chinese font. You can get this from your Windows PC.
3) You'll need to add that font to your FontLink entries in your registry.
* Many ChineseFont CABs do steps 2 & 3 for you, but you can do it yourself.
4) An input method. The best I think is A4 2.8 (not 2.4) for Dopod HD. It's a PinYin keyboard that supports both simplified and traditional, but as well has English support sufficient for me (a native English speaker) to use for 100% of my typing.
If you need any help with these things, just let me know.
