Getting Arabic Language Support on Touch (Dual)

Hi all,
I know this is the forum for the Touch by Sprint, but I have a friend in the Middle East who wanted to get the Touch Dual and I figured this may the closest one to compare it to that has a forum available. The question is, does anyone know of a way to cook a rom with native support for Arabic Language? If he buys the phone in Egypt, it does have this support, so there must be a way. I personally cooked roms for my Apache and the PPCGeeks Kitchen has suppport for the Vogue and Titan as well but I was wondering if there is a way to throw in a package for the Touch DUAL and then an Arabizer program and cook it together to load on a Touch Dual phone purchased here in the US (unlocked) before sending it to him?

Thank you so much for any help!!!

over at XDA-Developers there is a tutorial on how to cook a rom with difffernt core languages. I don't have time right now to find the link for you so you will have to search. I know it is very easy to do.

Thanks, does that work with any cooked rom do you know or for specific ones? because i saw many with european languages but not arabic.

no you have to cook your own. Then you go to microsoft.com and download the language pack for whatever language you want. THen the walk thru tells you what files you need to overwrite in your kitchen to change the language. It's not hard to do just gotta follow the directions.

As for the kitchen for the Sprint Duo. I have a universal kitchen that may work. But I have not used it on the Sprint Duo. Basicly you have to back up the rom on the DUO then use this kitchen to Crack it open. But I gotta say THis is on you not me.

what is the link that you have to the language packs. I will make sure its the same 1. Cause I thought I saw arabic on the right 1

does that kitchen you posted have arabic support in there?

no its just a genreic kitchen that allows you to open any rom file. Cause I dont think there is a kitchen designed for the DUO yet. It should work. Then you have to change the Language of the ROM. here is the link to the language identifiers. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms903928.aspx you see there are alot of Arabic language's languages
