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.

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.

Maybe you folks can try my rom. WWE w/ Chinese i (hand written)/o support.

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 oh I have too many to list since I live in taiwan and my friend owns a computer store.
Tested from my old Dopod 838, over the Tytn II, the Diamond and still working on the Blackstone
Sunglobe patch:
Supports Chinese (unicode) characters where you normally only see a little square when running a non CHT OS.
Just for those who want to be able to read Chinese SMS, seeing correct info in the OS with Chinese characters supported.
!Attention : It does NOT support typing in Chinese !
Is this only for traditional chinese fonts?
Hi,
appreciate you sharing the Chinese font. I've installed it (a couple of times now and reset), but can't seem to get away from the square boxes still.
Would I need a different font for the standard simplified Chinese in mainland China?
Hope there's a simple answer/solution to my problem.
Thanks a bunch again!..
PS. I'm running the Daviduck 6.1 WWE ROM.

you need to go to MS contact instead of HTC people,.. it seems HTC people does not allow chinese in the name field
for me, chinese characters displayed perfected in ny HD, including but not limited to HTC People.
which chinese language pack u r using?
btw, A4 released a new QQpinyin input for wm which include stroke input, u can make a try first.

Second, ewww yuck, stroke input? Isn't that for old people who were educated before PinYin?
Third, you should be able to input Chinese for new contacts. The problem is that HTC changed the font that they use for those screens and most chinese font cabs don't font link it. Search your registry for fontlink and make sure the Helvetica Neue OTS font includes a link to your Chinese font. Probably, MSYH.ttf. After that, soft reset and things should be fine.
If you still have problems after that, and your regional settings were set to China (PRC), then that's just weird.

i found 2.9 long time ago on 592ppc, if you couldn't find it, you can ask me i will send to you..
the font i used is sofia sans, i just install font cab, i don't know how to change registry for font, i changed my regional to english(australia), because if i choose chinese, the display of calender ugly looking on the home screen...
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.

Of course you can install a font only as long as there are already Chinese options in your "Regional Settings"

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!

Hehe, when installing 2 or more Chinese support at the same time, it will be conflicts sometimes.

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.

As long as you can find a font that supports chs/jap/etc in one file, you can do that.

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 !
I've wondering if there's anyway or mod or guide available that I can embed Japanese IME into HTC One's Stock keyboard?
As I prefer the stock keyboard over the keyboard available in the play store, however, HTC's stock keyboard has never add Japanese language IME into it.
So, anybody could lead me to somewhere there?
Were you able to find anything out? I just bought a used HTC One, changed the system language to Japanese no problem but saddened to see the lack of Japanese in the keyboard list There are so many others... I really like the stock keyboard and would like to stay with it instead of going back to the Google IME.
Anyone know a way?
