Chinese Input

JWA2 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-09-2009, 10:56 PM

I was wondering if someone out there could help me install chinese input on my TP2...the things ive seen out there are touchpal but not sure if this is for a touch/keyboard combo......i am completely new at doing things to my phone so please be patient and help....thank you

****UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE****

Chinese inputs will not work on US carriers as of yet, I did go back to BeiJing and using the installed .cabs below was able to SMS in chinese text and recieve text too. You can read all the chinese scripts you want with the .cabs below but can not type chinese though US carriers..ie- sprint, att, verizon, etc

If displaying chinese characters is your only need, then install "sunglobe.cab"
If you want chinese input, install BOTH "PlumSIP Pro VGA V6.1.0008.cab" and "uhei00m-gray.cab"
soft reset your device after installing.
hope it helps.

"sunglobe.cab" and "uhei00m-gray.cab" are both fonts.
"PlumSIP Pro VGA V6.1.0008.cab" is the input.
From testing, either font will work.

if you installed correctly, you should have a SIP (keyboard) that's able to write chinese.
At your email composing page, you should see a clover looking icon near the bottom of your screen. Click on it and you will see a pinyin keypad appear.

if you are on Sprint, uheim00m cab works the best. No conflicts on texting to other providers. I had tried CE-Star and Sunglobe, I couldnt text to Verizon and T-mobile users.

Could someone upload the original WinCE.NLS file off their TP2? I need it because I had replaced mine with one that was back dated to an old way I use to read chinese on my TP2 but it seems that is no longer necessary and I do not want to hard reset just for that one file. Thank you.
