Hebrew localization for Universal /WM5.0

Hi all,
It is for quite some time now that i am looking for a hebrew localization pack for my Universal and apparently there is no cheep solution for that. (well there is a 130$ one but it is too expensive for me...) .
I've searched the net for a cheep solution but it seems that all software companies that develop these kind of localization do not know all about Hebrew and thus i get a software that write in mirror like way and some more little things (like no hebrew Email/sms support, no hebrew on PIE etc...).
all i want is to be able to send/recieve emails/sms and have the hebrew keboard layout (in addition to the english one) so that i can write documents or sms/emails (PIE is less important to me ) - in the right hebrew direction (right to left).
I am looking for someone able to give me some guidelines on how to start this project of hebrew localization - if i will finnish this, i will share it freely. i look for no profit.
thank you all who can help me.

Hi Yol!
As I understand it Hebrew is a 'right to left' language, a functionality which Windows Mobile does not support. (unlike it's big brother where it is built in).
Now it's a noble idea you have to create a free version, but I suspect there is a reason software companies charge as much as they do without going out of business.
Basically, any localization has 3 parts:
1) keyboard - that's relatively easy. It's just a DLL that implements a COM object. There is an article on this at www.pocketpcdn.com with code sample. Look under 'SIP' (Software Input Panel).
2) The interface or MUI's - these are DLL's that contain the interface resources in your language. You can create those from a ROM dump using Visual Studio or any other resource editor. Search for Asukal's posts on this forum, he is an expert at this.
3) This is the tricky part - for a language that works right to left you need to reverse the system input and output of text somehow. This is something beyond my level of programming sorry.
Well hope that starts you off. By the way do you have much experience in programing? This sounds like a really ambitious undertaking. 8)
Good luck!

T9 Chinese input in WM6

I am using english wm6 rom and I can hardly find any t9 input method, which is the stroke input method in many chinese mobile device, for this version of windows mobile.
i prefer neither cd-star nor monster coz they are not stable and slow down the system. is there any stand alone SIP cab file available?

Hi, I was looking around and finally found this:

It is by far, the best that I've seen in terms of providing the ability to read Chinese Traditional, Simplified, and Japanese as well as inputting those languages. No registry tweaking necessary as Leies has already packed everything you need into cabs.
Be warned though, the "Enlarge Start Menu" utility will not work with it.
Specifically,

this will give you keyboard support for chinese input. No need for T9 when you have full keyboard available.

Any solution for those Dictionaries

Dears,
I downloaded wonderful and professional dictionaries from the net:

2. Oxford A-Z of English Usage.

However, the problem is that all the above-listed Dictionaries are for 7 days trial only. And need Key to unlock it.
Does anyone know how to open these dictionaries for good.

Thanks in advance.

yes purchase a key

Offering/requesting wares is against xda terms of use, and is considered a banable offence.

Well, then to ask, is there any high quality professional dictionary that is free to use without limit?

Richy99: Your post is useless you shouldn't reply.
samsamuel: Thank you for explaining. Really, I didn't know it's not allowed.
cavemaneca: you think out of the box. I really like your suggestion. There is a free advanced dictionary "Advanced English Dictionary & Thesaurus".

[Q] Changing Google maps Language without changing the phone UI

the street are always in English in the standard English mode. naturally. but some users in non english countries like myself would like to see the maps in my native language without changing the entire UI cause it doesn't look that great in Hebrew.

Change locale but keep the language

I'd like to change the locale of my nexus 4 to France but still have it running in English. Is there absolutely no way to do this?

By locale you mean what specifically? If you can give an example of what you are trying to achieve.
Sent from my Nexus 4

I'll give you a small example:
The locale is set according to your device language.
In google now you can only use voice search for your phone's language. If it's in english you can only use english voice commands, if its in french you can only use french voice commands.
The voice commands language is selected by your locale, some people would like to have their phone in english but to be able to use voice commands in their own native language.
The OP wants to know if theres a way to separate the two.

There was a program MoreLocale2, that could do such things. I was using Ukraine(English) locale. That gave my proper date/time formats and English interface language. Unfortunately that program is incompatible with 4.2+. Since then I looking for substitute.
That said, you can set Google Now voice commands language independent from system locale. There is 'Voice' option in Now's settings.

I just set Language to English and keyboard to Danish (switchable to English). Maybe this also forces me to use English date formats etc, but I'm ok with that.

So this won't work anymore? Any alternatives I could find?
