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?

Hi, there're no choose for you, I have test the CE-Star and Monster, only the CE-Star is support Keyboard chinese input.

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.

try this

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

TouchPal for Android

Hi,
did anyone succeed in installing the new TouchPal keyboard from the marketplace? It's a great keyboard, which I have been using with Windows Mobile for a long time. It doesn't seem to work on the Hero though.

I used the Android version on my magic - it is NOT the same as the windows mobile version at all and is just a basic keyboard without the tabs at the top to the different KB and to the stored sentences/macros.
Not tried it on my Hero tho...
Dayz

What do you mean by doesn't work? I have it working on the Hero.
Did you remember to go to Settings->Locale&Text to enable it?
Then you need to press & hold a text box to select it.

Original poster probably expecting the same product he used on WM devices (i also used it) and it doesn't work the same at all on android. But I agree, it does work on the Hero, it just doesn't have as many features as the Win mo version.
You need TWO files - one is the main Keyboard (Must be loaded/installed first) and the other is a language Pack (English is the only one I've seen) to be installed second.

Ooops double post... Sorry xx

There is other language. At leaset I am using Chinese at moment. I believe there are language for Europe countries. Search the market. It's free anyway.

as far as languages go there is english, german, french and simpl. chinese. it's free until 30th september (at least thats what the touchpal homepage says)
works just fine on my hero as well. you still need to activate it in locale&text and choose it by holding any input box.

T9 Trace application available?

Just found an article (in Norwegian) about this application.
http://www.nuance.com/t9trace/
It's seems like a Swype competitor, but supports more languages, and to me, who needs Norwegian language input, it could be a better alternative.
Pictures show that Android platform is supported.
Couldn't find it in Marked, but the press release from 3 days ago may indicate that it will be available soon.

hmm seems like a good competitor for swype, i prefer their layout better than swypes.

Anyone would know where to find the .apk for T9 Trace ?
I asked for it on twitter and they told me it's not a software to download. It come with your phone or forget about it...

Almost looks like the SlideIt keyboard available on the market. That works great on my Nexus. I just wish I could long press keys for numbers or punctuation. I use that as Swype isn't available on the market and it works great.
Plus if you buy the full version, there are a lot of language dictionaries you can download for free to get support for the language.

Here is the list of all the languages:

Does it support Norwegian language and characters?

not sure actually would have to find out for yourself
i use en us

Still no way to get t9 trace ?
I am looking for the app on the market, the internet : nothing
any link to an apk ?

Its nearing a year....
No update about T9 trace... :-(

Definitely more then a year now, i cant find T9 trace anywhere, only old references to flex t9 which is trace but doesnt have the newer features that predict words like Swift key.
It really seems like good competition for the new Touchpal which swypes and predicts but just cant find it anywhere :-(

arabic/hebrew language support on nexus one?

hey everyone
is it possible to have robust arabic language support on the nexus one? I've looked all over the internet and most of the potential solutions i found were not really good; like on some you would be able to read arabic script but you couldn't write in arabic, and in some you can write in arabic and semi-read arabic script (the letters wouldn't be connected). please someone help!!!

1) Cyanogen 5.0.6 fully supports Hebrew and Arabic, to the extent of Gmail app that has an incorrect Email preview, letters backwards (can't be fixed, don't look for it). Can't say for Arabic, but Hebrew was tested thoroughly, working as well as it's currently possible on the device.
2) There's fully Arabized ROM by UAE in Development section.
Did you check both of those?

i tried cyanogens rom but i think it was an earlier version (the letters wouldn't connect, making it unintelligable). do you know if UAE's rom is based off of ayman's package?

Don't know, I believe not - he'd mention it. You can check:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=664184
Also, give a try to the latest CM (5.0.6). Gmail preview reversing isn't a big issue.

i just installed cyanogens new rom and i must say, the new UI is very attractive, the nexus boot animation is now bleu with an android in the centre on a skateboard. the application grid is now 5 apps across instaed of 4 and i especially enjoy the transparent sliding notification bar. strangely enough theres even more system RAM available than before and the phone itself seems a bit faster and more responsive.
for the most part it does exactly what i want (in terms of reading/writing semetic script) but my god....its soo buggy!! i was stuck in an endless google account sign-in loop during initial acct setup and the browser crashes repeatedly. the system sometimes forgets to reorientate writing direction irrespective of language; it writes latin script from right to left in addition to arabic script. however arabic characters are connected.
do u know of any other arabized roms or system hacks to implement arabic language support? if not, i will probably keep cyanogens 506 rom, because the benefits of it vastly outweigh the few imperfections

Adding language to Swype beta

Hey guys I've got my phone's Swype with bunch of languages in it.
I tried to install it on CM7 w/o success (Swype wasn't seen by the OS and it's probably licencing stuff)
Is there a way to add those languages to the Swype beta version I'm registered to?
Thanks
