MoDaCo Shadow XT9 Language Pack (14 in 1!)

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

I'm proud to present my Shadow XT9 language pack, which includes 14 languages, namely...

- Czech

- Danish

- German

- English

- Spanish

- Finnish

- French

- Italian

- Dutch

- Norwegian

- Polish

- Portugese

- Russian

- Swedish

;)

I have tested it as far as possible, but feedback is appreciated. Please note that if you select an AZERTY language (e.g. French), your suretype keyboard will behave like an AZERTY keyboard. It caught me out at first :(

Enjoy!

Thanks a lot, Paul!

Where did you get all those language packs so quick?

You should probably make this post an "Announcement", so it stays at the top of the page, so that people can easily find it who are looking for other languages in the future.

Thanks again.

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Good point, DONE! ;)

YOU DA MANNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS

would you care sharing the trick with us, or you rather keep it secret?

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

It's not a trick, it's just a bunch of language files and reg tweaks ;)

[Guest trickinit]

I can't get the Portuguese to work... ;)

When I type it just shows up as numbers.. any idea why?

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Found the problem and i've posted an updated pack in the first post ;)

[Guest trickinit]

Does anyone know anything about a Chinese language pack?

[Guest badbob001]

Does anyone know anything about a Chinese language pack?

I'm not sure about chinese input on smartphones, but here is how to view chinese/asian characters:

1. Find your favorite chinese truetype font and copy it to \windows\. I use mUniFontM and will use it in my examples.

2. Add the following registry string values:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\FontPath\FontPath=\Windows

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink\Segoe Condensed=\Windows\mUniFontM.ttf,mUniFontM

3. Restart.

You'll find a ton of posts on the net about how to do this but they may reference Arial, Times New Roman, etc. The new trick is that for wm6 standard (smartphone), it now uses the font 'Segoe Condensed' so those references to the other fonts will not work on wm6 standard. This drove me nuts for a few hours. :(

Hello

Im a new windows mobile user - i bought a HTC Touch Dual - English

Danvad, Denmark ..... :(

[Guest GadgetManiac]

Hi Paul !

Thanks for the package, man.

It's really fantastic.

Just a quick one: is there a way to disable certain languages?

Best regards!

GM.

[Guest REem]

Paul,

Great work and I will test in the next weeks on my HTC Touch Dual !!

[Guest depro]

[Guest tibor22]

Paul and other friends,

If somebody finds a Hungarian .ldb file in some Smartphone software, please, post it in order to be able to include it into my XT9 system (on HTC Artemis).

The problem is that there's another xt9 system e.g. in Vox that uses .dll files for storing the language dictionaries. That system HAS HUNGARIAN SUPPORT, the Shadows' xt9 not... :(

But maybe some other new smartphone type has come or will come out with Hungarian support and we, Hungarian users could 'port' it into our PDAs.

Thanks in advance!

[Guest depro]

how do you make the cab to work? how can you choose the language? anyone?

[Guest depro]

I can't make it to work on my HTC Touch (Elf). Only the standard languages show. No Portuguese. :(

[Guest kevinv]

I can't seem to pick dutch from the list of available languages.

...it keeps suggesting english words when I type with the keyboard.

Do I need to change something in the registry manually?

[Guest kevinv]

FYI, I'm using a TYTN II (Kaiser)

When I change the registry value "LibraryCount" to 16, Dutch appears in the list but I cannot type any text with this language selected. Perhaps some KeyboardID mappings are wrong? I only see 0909 mapped.

[Guest serge pecher]

Is this also working with the S730 ?

Did I understand well, that if I choose french, my qwerty keyboard will behave as azerty ?

thanks,

sp
