Need help upgrading to Chinese ROM from English

Hello,
I found a lot of random posts about upgrading Wizard from English ROM to Chinese, but i can't find a comprehensive one for beginners.
The thing i want to accomplish is to be able to read CHT file names, CHT song titles, view CHT websites etc. The OS itself doesn't need to be CHT, in fact, i prefer it stays in English. What's the most straight forward way to get this result? (some kind of language pack like in Windows XP?)
If I end up having to change the OS from English to Chinese, will the hard reset feature continue to work (restore the CHT OS to a clean state, rather than restore it back to ENG OS)? Can someone point me to a comprehensive post about how to step by step change from ENG OS to CHT? I have the unlocked Cingular 8125 phone.
Thanks a lot

I have a self-cooked .CAB file that can bring a WWE device into CHS compatible (with CHS display and Chinese Region selection for IE) without the needs of ROM-Upgrading, but, although it can display traditional Chinese character, it's not CHT.
to find CHT rom, you should go http://bbs.pdafans.com where you can find many thing you want.

Germany (Dutch)???!??!! (thought it was Netherlands (Dutch) and Germany (German))
Most custom cooked ROMs are in WWE (World Wide English), so if you flash them you'll get the English language on your phone. There isn't a setting where you can change the language from German to English for example. But you can also download and flash an official English ROM for X1 (find latest in sticky by PavelX1).
If you want a cooked ROM in Dutch or German or any other language you'll have to search cause there aren't many floating around.
REMEMBER READ THE STICKIES BEFORE STARTING TO FLASH / HARDSPL!!!

Lol, thought the same Was wondering if they could understand me in germany when speaking dutch

definetly u should try... otherwise wheter u ain't happy enough... come back to stock ROM

Don't be shy, c'mon !!
Flash a STOCK (Sony official) WWEnglish ROM or a cooked one
Your choice
We are all here to help each other
Have fun !!

Yes, just take a look around here and read a bit and choose your favorite rom and flash it!!!!

Well, it much depends on you: are you ok with you stock, standard phone? do ypu use your X1 just to make/receive calls?
If yes, so probably you are ok with the stock ROM (however... why do you bought a PDA to only receive calls?!)
Otherwise yes, you definitely should try as many ROMs as you can. It is like a suit: you can buy the stock, standard one or get one that really fit you perfectly (that is, a cooked ROM!).

flash...flash....flash

1 flash.......and you want nothing else!

should make that you want even more heh
i could not wait for the next version of the rom im currently using; and have yet to be disappointed. unlike the stock rom, which was utterly laggy.
with custom roms, they a lot more optimized but with a very small sacrifice of losing some features which can be negliged or replaced depending on the rom your flashing.
just be careful and follow each step precisely and you wont hit any brick walls.
read the instructions a couple of time before you attempt to flash it. make sure you hard-spl first :d
if you decide to flash it, which i definitely suggest, then be aware of some incompatibility issue between some roms and certain cabs (due to existing file or clashing of those installed files).
installing such prog can slow down the performance overall; but of course, these cabs/progs can easily be uninstalled
please do ask us questions if you need help and advise :d

DO IT !
I was just like you today....I was not sure if I should flash my Windows Mobile 6.1 to a custom 6.5 Rom with TouchFLO 3D. (manila)
I just said to my self...DO IT NOW !
so I did...
Turns out the phone is sooo much faster and better to use ! its so worth it man,

No, you would want more and moree It's an addiction - but don't worry - that's happiness with no side effects

u should try it dude yeah.. whats the point of getting an X1 right? Xplore it!!!

Is there a problem with the keyboard if you flash from for example a Swedish ROM to a WWE. Will I still be able to use the Swedish letters or is there a fix I need to apply? I want to try a ROM with WM 6.5.......

Very true

On another note, for the OP:
German = Deutsch.
Dutch = Nederlands
The languages seem kind of similar, but one telling detail about Dutch is that it looks like they just randomly double every other vowel in a word.

Blue Angl Wm6 6.1 or 6.5 German

Hi I am searching for Windows Mobile 6, 6.1 oder 6.5 in Englich the language Pack from helmi didnt translate the os .. The os is not bootable after apply
Need Help

yeah, the only rom the language pack works for, is helmi's own wm6 rom.
since there are no other wm6.X roms in german on this forum or anywhere i looked, i will start development for my own wm6.5 in german. personally, i don't want a german rom, but since i am one of just few german senior members here, and people request those roms, it would be pretty nice to have them floating around, but at the moment i just can't spare the time to translate a rom (plus i've never done it before and have to read a hell lot before i can do it).
so you might wanna stick with one of the good wm6.5 builds, like xplode's, or sun_dream's, or swampy's

wmobile in german to english or spanish
Hi! I´m new in the forum, please i need some help, i have a qtek 9090 bought in germany so it has a windows mobile in German. Can you help me to change the ROM to an english or spanish version.
The info is:
ROM version: 1.40.01 GER
ROM datum:03/10/05
Radio version: 1.12.00
Protocol version 1337.42
Extended ROM version: 1.40.750 GER
Model: PH20B
Platform: PocketPC
Can you explain me step by step or suggest me a page wuere i could find some instructions, i have another problem too, I don´t have a usb cable for it, please help me

hi, welcome to the forum!
1. i wouldn't have posted the imei, if i were you. it does not help is the process and is rather private information. maybe you want to edit that, since it is none of people's concerns, it would be like posting your phone number in clear text.
2. it is no problem at all, "switching" languages. it might not be as easy as flipping them like on a normal mobile phone, since you need to flash a different rom, but it is easily doable. but before i explain that, let's go to #3
3. you problem is, that you don't have a usb cable. you really need a usb cable or cradle to flash another rom, which again is necessary to get another language. so your first task would be to get your hands on a cable or cradle, before that, you can do nothing about that. have a look at ebay or e-shops in your country or region.
i will not go into detail now, because the entire process of flashing the device must seem awfully theoretical for you at the moment, but to give you something to read:
-=here=- you can download the different wm2003 roms in different languages.
-=here=- you can find newer roms, since you are not restricted to wm2003, maybe you also want to concider wm6.5 for nicer optics, finger friendliness and third party app compatibility.
-=here=- you can find information on how the upgrade process works in detail.
and finally -=here=- you find a lot of information for beginners with the device.
please make sure to first get a cable, then please post back, and we will discuss further questions about the actual process of flashing.
with best regards,
Chef_Tony

Thanks!
Thanks a lot !
I couldn't find any help until I arrived here, ok so I'm going to work in the USB cable, and I'm going to read all the articles.
I will post back as soon as i get it, thanks for your help and congratulations for the forum Chef_Tony.

help :)

Hello everyone and to who ever can help
1, im wondering if anyone know how to make the phone display Japanese, Chinese and Korea, I'm using WM6.5 clean version and i'd like to keep it that way;
2, i remeber there was a post about different Panels, couldn't find it no more, anyone can attache a link?
Cheers.

Here the answer to number 2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=498934
As for question nr 1, I would guess you had to install a localized version for those languages as they differ from western languages by a fair bit. So I would suggest to either download a Jap/Chi/Kor stock rom or if available a custom one from this forum or try to cook a rom yourself.
But as you see, I'm just a junior member, there are people that know far more than I.
Good luck anyways

Update: Check this, seems to be clean with atleast chinese: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=543073&highlight=chinese

How can i input a chinese display and input in english ROM?

i try to use the differet rom on my pro 2, beacuse the offical rom is so slow
i hear some method can display chinese and input on the english rom, how can i do or found the information??
help me please~

i have used cd star to input and view chinese (apparently once you install the software, it installs the font so you can read chinese). I used it on WinMo 6.1 and have not yet install in my tilt 2 yet (but will do it soon) so I presume it will work without any issue.

i need the Traditional Chinese anyway thanks for your help

use the font from Hong Kong official ROM.
It supports CHT almost perfectly. but remember you have to change your regional settings to Chinese(Taiwan) or Chinese(Hong Kong).
E-Mail me if you want a cab.
For the Chinese input, tell us which IME you use.

anyway
its same
