Language Rip tutorial

Welcome in localization ripping tutorial.

In this tutorial You will learn how to *completly* rip language from M$ Emulator Images. To this tutorial I'll use Polish language (MUI = 0415) as example.

What do You need:

1. Emulator images from M$ SITE.

2. Knowledge how to dump emu image it to "dump" folder. (look @ xda)

3. bepe Package tool (PKGTool)

4. Will to do this.

Sooooo - let's start

1. Download and install Emulator images (You can rip it from installer if You know how). Find images. C:\Program files\Micro...blabla...

2. Copy image and do everything to get that "dump" folder filled.

3. To folder with "dump" folder copy PKGTool - it should look something like that.

4. Drag "dump" folder over PKGTool and wait until process is done.

5. You will have two folders in famous "dump" folder. OEM which is empty and SYS which is modules folder. Go to SYS. Do You see it? How beaultiful it is sorted? Do You see how MUI of language is represented? Nice isn't it?

6. Strike F3 search for *0415* (this is for Polish - change it for Your lang)

7. Select all files (not folder) and copy those to folder where Your want (for example ..Desktop\LANG)

8. We are in half way - this easier ;). Carry on!

9. Now invert selection and Copy all folders (in search results) to some folder (for example ..Desktop\TMP)

10. Navigate to this folder (TMP). You sholud see something like this.

11. Now is real hell. In most of this folders are *.rgu files which are registry entries needed for complete translation. Without those Inbox will always be displayed as Inbox not "Skrzynka odbiorcza" (in Polish) ;) Sooo it's big deal.

12. In Your folder LANG right click->New->Text Document. Open it with Notepad (or Your favourite text editor)

13. Now go to TMP folder and once again strike F3. in search type *.RGU. It will find about 10 files. Select them all and Copy directly to TMP folder.

14. You must merge them into one file so open each RGU and copy text to opened earlier Text Document (from point No 12) . Ctrl+A ---> Alt-Tab to text editor ----> Ctrl+V , open second ....... repeat for all files.

15. You should have a quite long text file. It should start with "REGEDIT4" - this is registry file header. But Yoou copied it many times into this file. Search for instances of this and delete all EXCEPT FIRST.

16. Save this file and rename it to registry.reg

17. DONE!!

Done... what now?

Now You can cab-it and post localization of Your language on some forum or something.

But easiest way to use Your lang is:

1. Copy all files from LANG folder to "\Windows" folder in Your device.

2. Apply registry entries on Your device. I humbly recomend Registry Workshop http://www.torchsoft.com/

3. Go to Regional settings and choose Your Language - then restart device.

4. DONE!!

Thanks for reading. I'm as always waiting for Your feedback.
