Adding English Input Tools to Chinese XDA (Dopod): Possible? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

Hi all,
I just purchased a Dopod 696 (essentially the XDA II) here in China, and am wondering if I might be able to add the standard English input tools, including the word "suggesting" system, as additional input choices (the Chinese system does allow letter-by-letter entry via a softkeyboard, but doesn't suggest words, and also does not have Transcriber).
Thanks very much for any advice.
Best regards,
CM

The reverse!
Ha! I just had my second dopod stolen monday...
I was just in Hong Kong and bought an O2 (english edition), and now am annoyed that it doesn't have excellent chinese input/display like my dopod 696 did. Where are you located? I'm in Hangzhou.

Shanghai... I just replaced the ROM on my Dopod 696 with the O2 roms, so it's now all English. But now the Chinese entry for SMSs etc is poor (using CE-Star)... Sheesh. So I'm thinking of switching everything back to the original Chinese ROM, but if I do so I would like to still have the English word-suggester... wonder if it's possible.

Poor chinese input
Exactly! That's why I'd love to have the english O2 ROM and graft the chinese input subsystem from the dopod onto it. Not to mention the fabulous kingsoft dictionary. Perhaps we can cook something up. I expect you made a backup of the original dopod ROM image, yes? Let's figure it out!

Change Rom Language from Chinese Language to English Languag

Hi,
Last week I bought O2 Xda II (IMEI:351938003270010) from Taiwan and this product include Rom Chinese Language which is difficult for me to understand. So would any one please tell me if it is possible to change this Rom language from Chinese to English Language and if that possible how can I do that?
Pleassssssssse heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
we can trade, I don't mind mine in Chinese
Thanks baboyako, for replay put I still want to know How can I change the Language.
:?:
the language can only be changed by changing to a rom of the desidered langauge
Thanks Rudegar, and I agree with you that the best way to change language it can be by changing the rom, but I heard there was some people upgraded their O2xd II by other Language like from German or France Language to English Language.
So, I am look forward to hearing good news about this subject.
by changing the rom
or
by 3th party software which
1. hack the rom replace the hardcoded text in it to text of another language
2. capture text when display'd and translate it to the other language ?
the 1. would require the hack to know all texts in the rom and possibly all programs in the extented rom aswell
2 would also have to know all the texts to have translations ready and it would require extre cpu time making the device slower
are you sure they just dident upgrade their xda to a rom with a different language ?
it does sound much easier
Thanks Rudegar,
And I am very happy to charring me this problem, and about your qustion, last week I tried with my friend to upgraded my O2 xda II by English Language (UK) rom upgrade, but did not worked and always gave us massage Error Code 120.
Regard to a 3th party software is not free and I will try to buy it as soon as possible.
and do you Know any other free program can help for changing language instead of 3th party software and do you know some one has an experience at the same problem?
I've done that job serveral times. Just get the ROM you want, use ER2003 to modify it then install.
if it's the country code error then this thread is about that

Hi hungdu,
Would you please explain step by step how did you do that ?

Keyboard layout problems

So as the others that got similar problems, I had layout problems when upgrading to windows mobile 6.
Device: HTC TyTN, English keyboard (exactly like on the official pics), Rogers Wireless (Canada), unlocked thanks to you guys!
ROM: Official WM6 French ROM from HTC
I recently bought an French HTC TyTN with Rogers (in Canada). I unlocked it and upgraded it to WM6 (official french ROM from HTC). Seeing it had an AZERTY keyboard, I switched it back to QWERTY using your precious advices. However I'm experiencing problems with a few keys and I wasn't able to find similar cases on XDA Devs and Google. Here are the misfits:
' (opt+z) = File explorer
& (opt+x) = Internet Explorer
Start menu = Nothing happens
Ok (on the keyboard only) = Pops up the Start menu
Tab = Acts as the Ok button
File explorer (opt+left on the keyboard) = Messaging
However every other button (including opt+ok and opt+tab) work just as it should. I tried many locales (french canadian, english us, english uk, english canadian) to no avail and I really need " ' " and "&" characters, please provide help quickly!
Thanks a lot,
Nico
And for those with my problem: keyboard layout tytn french canadian qwerty azerty wm6 upgrade
UPDATE:
Would getting the official ROM in english solve the problem? It seems like there is no documentation on a QWERTY french TyTN?
e: Inserted a question mark, woops. Still in need of an answer
Kinda need a lil' help there, thx!
Not sure, but you can try an official English or you can try a cooked French rom. Schaps has cooked these and you can get information (or ask your questions) on his threads & posts.
Double post, sorry (see below)

And if I take the official English ROM, would I have to reinstall everything or can I use software to reinstall my stuff on it?
Like I said 'not sure', but I would think so for the english rom.
Yes, you would have to reinstall any additional programs, etc.
Yes, there are back up programs for your device; you can search Wiki for information on them.
Alright I'll try that before messing with my device. Maybe not right now, but I will, thanks!
Alright! Problem solved! I used the official english ROM from HTC. The cause of this problem was problably the fact that only Rogers TyTNs use french ROMs AND a Qwerty keyboard. Snce they got the phone 8 months after the rest of the world, we might not see any french WM6 roms with Qwerty support.
Thanks for your great support!
Posted from my TyTN using Opera, weee!
Congratulations! Glad it worked out for you and your device...

Did you find the solution? I do have a soft called asiareader which can be used for reading of Japanese and Korean (not always properly). Not sure if it can show also Chinese, but don't think there'll be a problem because it's showing kanji for me. However, you can NOT write in any of those languages - yeah, a reader.
I'll be also glad to find out how to type in Japanese and Korean on my Qtek 8500 (same ROM as yours), without flashing any asia ROM.

Hi Benny73, yes, I am looking for the Italian language pack too, I don't so much care about the T9 for Italian, just the language pack for the rest of the phone. It seems silly that HTC don't make it available as standard or even just as a download.
Anyone else out there got any ideas please?
Same problem
Hi Benny73, i have same problem. I have Rose buy i Germany and I need czech language but i have enl. germany and also italy. Maybe way to change together or try to dump adn cooked RUU.

Nemetis, you have the Italian language in your Phone?
I have the same as benny73, I would be interested in your ROM if I could get it please.

Hi nemetis, the "official" answer from HTC is...
They can not give me the Italian Language in the phone because....
It comes down to the licensing agreement for windows on the device, because certain countries have different licensing agreements with Microsoft about the software, Italy being one of them.
So, the only way to get an Italian ROM is to get someone (like yourself) who has one, downl load it, change your device to accept ANY ROM for THAT device, i.e. not just the set of ROM's it was allowed to accept and then you can load it.
To be honest... I bought the phone as a present for my wife for Christmas *yes, she's Italian) and she has said not to worry, she is fine with it being all in English.
So I think I'll just leave it the way it is.
Thanks for offering your ROM though.
I have the WWE ROM version but XT9 didn't offer German as input language only English, Romanian, Slovak, Czech, Polish, Turkish, Dutch, Portuguese, Hungarian, Greek.
So, I had a look in the registry and the windows folder.
In the windows folder you can find several kdb and ldb files.
In the registry you will find under HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9 the key AvailableLanguages which defines the available languages in the menu. The coding for the different languages can be found under HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\LdbFiles.
What I did was to replace 0118 (Romanian) with 0107 (German) and after a reboot I had the German language available.
See also attached screenshots.
So, for Czech and Italian it should work the same, just look for CSlsUN_xt9.ldb for the Czech language (#105) and for ITlsUN.ldb for Italian (#110).
If you don't have these files in the windows folder, for your convenience I have attached them, but I don't know if you need other files (or changes) to get not prepared-for languages to work.
Good luck.
I just found this tutorial that explains XT9 and internationalization very detailed. Looks like I tweaked the registry right on first try.
can you please send me the romanian .ldb and kdb from yout phone
because i try to make my phone witch is a norwegian modell to get the romanian t9 or xt9 to work corectly on this s740
Romanian .ldb and kdb
Sorry for the late reply. But I wasn't logged in for a long time.
Here they are.
