i have finished to creat CAB files to make far east language support in your PPC.
Those make your devices to allow encoding in the Pocket Internet Explore/Inbox,and can select Far east loactions from the "Regional Settings" and also any other Far east language applications can be allowed to be installed and work in your PPC with western language OS.
(not to replace the interfaces of OS to Far east languages)
Still you can use other western languages as before.
Now i made 2 versions for that.
one is to add Only Jpanese support to your devise.
which names [Asukal Lets Japan.cab] 4.4MB
the other is to add Chinese(both of Simple/Traditional) and Japnese support. which named [Asukal e-china.cab] 10MB
*contain the [wince.nls] file(encoding system), and font,and relative registries, but registry will be register automaticaly.
*How to install; DL and copy to your divice this cab, and just tap it.
The installation will be started and to procceed install.
you can down load from here!
http://asukal.seesaa.net/article/1751078.html
@@@You can find those cabs name in the [Remove Programs],
but you can not uninstall it. You have to hard reset to recover to previouse condition. PLS pay attention! and as your own lisk!
Which fonts are you using Asukal? I'm doing similar method as you but I'm using Knife Chinese's fonts which is only 2.xMb in size. And the fonts actually looks pretty good. My Chinese/Japanese nls and font file is less than 4mb in size....
Fonts
i am using Minglu font for the Chinese/Jpanese one.
Yes i knew minglu is very large(8MB) and Sunglobe is smaller than it.
But acturaly, those for my self and japanese guys, and the Sunglobe fonts has japanese chalactor and it was too AGRY for me! i cant stand for using that! (i mean japanese chalactor in Sunglobe) I knew all of Japan Guys same as me, cant love Sunglobe's Kata/Hira Kana.
Thats why i am using Minglu.The Old version of Unisung font for PPC2002 in Knife had very nice Japanese chalactor and very smaller.,but it was bitmap fonts and cant be used in PPC2003.
If you know unicde true type font(CJ font) with nice Japanese chalactor, pls let me know!
hi asukal...
1st, i just want to see (read only) jpnese n chinese character in pocket IE (browsing net) AND in MSN (i have some friend using jpnese character as nick name). is this possible using your cab?? i use xda mini, WM2003SE
im still confuse, will this cab make my english operating system change to japanese? or it will just show chinese n japanese in IE?
2nd, can i use the smaller font? im not japanese so i think as long i can see correct jpnese n chinese character, i will be happy enough. i mean, now i see only unrecognice characters (square boxes). i saw sunglobe and knife font, can i use them with WM2003? if yes, how??
3, why we cannot UNinstall it without have to do hard reset??
thx
re-1st Question
It just make it enable to encode & font link to JP/CN, not change OS to Jpanese or chinese.
the Applications need to encoding are Inbox and IE.
And you can use this cab to do.
re-2nd Question
If you want to use samaller font, yes you can!
but you dont have to use cab file, but use the way of replacing wince.nls file and also change the font registry as you want.
Encoding was controled by the file [wince.nls] in windows folder.
you can download from wince.nls and fonts, also font registry from my site
http://www.asukal.jp/Source.htm
User name ;wince
password: chinese for any files from here.
re:3rd Question
You can delete files which were installed by CAB by manualy.
Or can uninstall from Controle panel---Remove programs,
but after you uninstalled, you have to fix the fnt registry to enable to link another font before soft reset. other wize, the chalactor cant be loaded after soft reset.
So i suggest to hard reset instead to do that. because i cant instruct correctly and afraid friends will be fail it.
Also you can find many kinds of cab files to make localize from my site(addtional new combination cabs)
http://www.geocities.jp/asukal_trader/Localize/localizecab.htm
japanese site but many cabs

Is there a Japanese, Chinese, Thai combination somewhere for UK phone?
Hi,
Have a look at this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3188870#post3188870
It discusses also far eastern languages and I am specificly looking for this combination. I am not sure if it is out there somewhere, or if it is possible?
Anyone can advise or redirect me?
Thanks
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

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!

Chinese Display
I installed YaHei font into my HTC Diamond (European English version) to display simplified chinese. My Diamond now can display chinese in all kinds of applications, such as contact, ebook, calendar, file explorer.
Remember, there are many YaHei cab files, each packed differently.
I choose SamauChinesePlus20080310.cab (google for SamauChinesePlus), which size is about 15MB, and supports GKB characters (display most of Chinese characters), and it also includes the corresponding registries changes. Perfect one step installation!
In my experience, it does not matter to change regional setting to Chinese.
For chinese input, I use plumSIP (http://www.dayhand.com/). Another SIP is A4 input (http://www.ztqj.com/).
If I also suggest you to install jamesoft_pinyin_seek.cab to simplify (chinese name) contact looking without chinese input.
Enjoy.

You can also display chinese while phone keypad opened or dialling a number? My Diamond with English rom can display chinese in all kinds of applications, such as contact, ebook, calendar, file explorer, except for phone keypad. Any solutions, bubby?
Just got the Captivate, switching from Iphone 3Gs. Only issue I have with it is that the media player doesn't show Chinese, Korean, Japanese characters. Anyone knows a way to fix that?
write to samsung, and/or use a diff media player that supports those characters. I know, half assed solution. Its just something to go on unitill someone with more knowhow helps ya out.
i've played around with the original galaxy s i9000 and i know that supports asian languages (korean, japanese, chinese), so it seems that the ability has been removed from the phone (along with some other functions).
in the meantime, you can try installing this (code.google.com/p/android-traditional-chinese-ime) and see if it'll allow you to read the asian fonts. at the very least, you'll be able to type in chinese (google for additional font inputs).
we'll have to wait until 2.2 custom rom comes out before asian language support gets added back in
the vibrant has korean language. pisses me off since i'm korean
Take a look at Simeji4. It should be on the Android market. Or you can go to "www dot adamrocker dot com". As for fonts, I'm not sure if the fonts installed in the captivate supports japanese.
i think in general for android 2.1, the fonts should be installed just like they are for iOS but they were probably removed from the rom for the US release. its nothing a custom rom can't fix though
My support chinese characters out of the box, be sure your mp3 tags are unicode..
So can anyone confirm whether the captivate can handle "asian" fonts? Chinese, Japanese, Korean in Web pages, email client, etc?
I'm considering switching from blackberry but it's a deal breaker for me if it doesn't support the asian characters.
Please tell me if this is possible.

Of course, it can handle asian fonts. Its just a matter of installing the right fonts on it in the first place. The international Galaxy S (reference design) is sold all over Asia.
You may want to check the actual media you are playing. Sometimes it's the mp3 tags that are jacked (as mentioned above). I have a lot of KPOP and JPOP on my Captivate and the characters (Korean and Japanese) show up fine in the media player.
I also have emails and notes that show up just fine in Chinese and Japanese characters without any extra fonts installed on the phone.
And for those asking about the browser (just tested this):
Japanese - YES
Korean - YES
Chinese - YES
But keep in mind, this is DISPLAY only. I don't believe there are any input methods (IME) by default for Asian languages, so you'll have to find those if you need to actually compose messages or enter things in those languages. The only workaround I have heard of us to use a translation site like Google Translate from English to the other language, and then cut and paste into another field (since Asian language cut and paste is supported).
When you say Chinese, do you mean Simplified Chinese, or Traditional Chinese? Mine shows up fine for Traditional Chinese/Japanese/Korean. However Simplified Chinese does not showed up alright, I don't know whether it is unicode or not though.

There are 3rd party input method you can install, at least for Chinese.
I believe there are several good 3rd party Chinese and Japanese IME packages. Not sure about Korean (since most Samsung/LG phones sold in Korea probably already have it in their local ROM).
For Korean input, I installed Korean keyboard from the android market and it's been working without any flaw for me.

Thanks pinymutt! That helps alot! If the display of asian characters is functional, installing the IME is not a big deal although it may take a bit of getting used to.
Thanks again!
Hebrew
Not sure about Asian languages but I installed Hebrew fonts and it works system-wide (music player, browser, third party apps). It does require rooting the phone and a little command line work with adb to replace the fonts. Google install Hebrew on android and you should find the commands (am sure you can find the font files and respective commands for Asian languages as well).
For input, I downloaded the korean keyboard from the market and it works perfectly on browser and text.
Thought the default rom would have korean UI but guess not
I just made it by installing a i9000 Asian ROM on the Captivate and not lose any major functions. The stock i9000 ROM has Korean, Chinese (trad/simp), English on there.
If interested, PM me and I will write up a nice guide to do so.
This involve:
- Installing stock i9000 ROM
- Installing Reoriented Captivate kernel w/ Voodoo Ext4 & HSUPA modem
- Get Root, SU, ROM Manger, Busybox
Optional:
- Update Hosts file to skip ads
- Install Circle Battery meter w/ %
To do:
- Replaces Samsung Glass lock screen with stock lock screen (help please??)
Just like on a windows system, you may need to find a way to set your locale to the Asian language of your choice. The system then assumes that if an MP3 tag or text file is not encoded in unicode, it will use the language set in the default locale to show the text.
Of course, converting the mp3 tag to unicode will help as well. ConvertZ will convert MP3 1.3 tags to unicode but it's unable to do it for MP3 1.1 tags.
