Razr v3 Creating custom Language Packs

From Guides

by mikekay10

This guide will show you how to remove a language from one language pack and add it to another.

In order to do this you will need a program called SHXCodec

Lets assume you want to add Russian to language pack 21 which contains UK English, Thai, Vietnamese, Bahasa.

Download a pack containing Russian - e.g. Language Pack 0123

Language packs are available from the downloads section.

• First we need to extract the Russian language from language pack 0123.

• Select the language pack 0123 file by clicking on the area shown below and browsing to the .shx file you downloaded.

• Then hit the "Split source SHX file"

• Now go to the Utilities menu and choose the Language pack editor menu item. You will get the following screen:

• Highlight the desired language - in this case Russian - and hit "Save Language".

• Save the language with a filename you will remember - e.g. Russian

• Now close SHXCodec down.

• Run SHXCodec again. This time browse to the language pack you want to add Russian to and hit the "Split source SHX file"

• Go to the Language pack editor menu item again. Now you will see the other languages listed, some languages - those which use a different alphabet may be shown as unknown.

• Click add from file and browse the language file you saved previously. You should get a success message.

• Now click on "Save Langpack" and give the file a sensible name

• Click the "Make SHX" button and again give the file a sensible name.

• Close SHXCodec down.

• Use RSD Lite to flash the file you just created to your phone

Thats it - you are done!

You can combine languages with a font language pack to get that font in your chosen language.
