Question about CE-Star / Japanese language support

[Guest La Traviata]

Hi! I want to be able to read/type Japanese text on my Omnia. I understand that I need to download a separate program for that and I am thinking of getting CE-Star, but I have a few questions:

1) Will it allow me to read Japanese webpages in Opera/IE?

2) Does it work on the Vodafone UK (ACHJ2?) ROM?

3) Do I download it first on my PC and then move it to the phone?

4) Can I keep it on my memory card or do I have to keep it in the phone memory?

Apologies, I know this is very basic stuff but this is my first WM phone and I have never installed anything on it before.

Many thanks!

i'm not using CE-star (read bad stuff about it) but rather this cab from flinx1 at XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445550 << that's really good if you need tegaki but i prefer kana based typing so I use that cab alongside touchkeysip with a gesture10key script for it on a german ROM so i'm guessing you'll have no problems at all. Here's youtube video of how the interface will look like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8KabRmLOxk...feature=related

information about gesture10key: http://www.geocities.co.jp/lauhangwoo/zero...sture10key.html

if you search the flinx1 thread for "gesture10key", you'll find instructions on how to install it

Everything goes on device memory. just make sure you choose a QVGA skin for gesture10key.. i already made the mistake of trying out a VGA skin.

goodluck!

Thank you so much for the info! I will look into it.

If I may ask, what bad stuff have you read about CE-Star? Apart from the fact that it isn't free...

i read somewhere that it doesn't uninstall cleanly but maybe they already fixed that but CE-star was written for chinese anyway so it'll take up more space which becomes inconvenient especially if you only need japanese but i guess it would be a good option if you need chinese as well.

They now seem to have an abridged version for people who don't need Chinese support:

Thanks again for your advice!
