Yeah, I am looking for this one since I brought my X1 from UK and the CE-Star I got is not the bundle one.
CE Star
I have installed CE-Star program and it works fine. I have the U.S. version of Sony X1, so if I open Opera and IE to view chinese website, it will not show the chinese characters. But once I installed it. I can see it fine.
My main concern is once this software installed. All my other applications like Skype, messenger...etc shows chinese language instead of English. There is no way I set it back to just read english, even though remove ce-star from memory, it will still show the chinese characters which is not cool.
Does anyone know how fix that ?
I just want this problem to allow me to turn it on and view and write chinese characters but not to change the language on the other programs to show chinese.
Just change yr regional setting to USA or UK.
Cut the crap, ChinesePlus.
For viewing, that's good enough.
For writing, use TouchPal, but need to get the license to active the multiple language input.
I followed the instructions here for adding font to read Chinese: http://leeblood.com/2008/02/16/windows-mobile-6-changing-the-system-font-adding-korean-support/
It's for Korean font, but if you substitute with a Chinese font instead of malgun.ttf it still worked.
Hi, I tried igo8 8.3.2.91972 and it worked well, but the TTS Voices did not work.
Can some help me. I already tested some other dlls. Can somebody help me?
Hi,
If you check the site : http://www.navngo.com/pages/global/eng/igo_8_description
you'll see ** at language support :
** Text-to-Speech (TTS) voice profiles are not included in this product in order to ensure compatibility with as many PDA/Smartphone devices as possible.

The only voices that are enabled for TTS are US-Male, US-Female, UK-Male and UK-Female.
I find the feature very useful but note that the pronouciation is based on UK and American pronouciation so things like many New Zealand (Maori) street names are pronounced in an unreconisable way (like a tourist would).
The inability to pronounce the abbrieviations for Road (Rd) and Street (St) that appear on most maps is pretty dissapointing too.
Other than that a great feature.
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.

simplified chinese showed up fine, so check the tags of your mp3.

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.
Hello,
Can anybody recommends a good GPS software like IGO or Garmin? This is the only thing that is missing from WP7.
Thanks in advance
Yes! I want it too!
try navigon select phone 7
then download the map via wifi
As far as I can see there are only maps for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Is it possible to apply/patch the currently existing navigon maps from other versions of the program (from different OSes) for WP7?
Tried changing my region / provider to de/de tmous but still cannot find the download on the market, anyone got a directlink (zune link) to the app, or tell me what market region it's on?
thanks
