3310 v 579 with Arabic SMS input HERE! TESTERS NEEDED!

[gkagg]

Searching for a solution on how to make DCT-3 Nokias support native Arabic SMS char input, I ended up modifying this flash file... I haven't tested it at all because I do not know Arabic. So as a result I want people who speak Arabic to test the file and post their feedback here.


THX in advance ...


PS Ok I found out kinda late that 3310 supports natively Arabic input so I removed the link. The search never stops though... I will try to put Arabic SMS input in phones that does not support it natively like 3350, 82xx and 3210....


Sorry...

I added the Arabic alphabet to the corresponding keypresses.. As you know the file is not tested yet and I do not know if it really works.

Here is what I have done...

Key1=.,'?!-&1@\/
Key2=أبتث2
Key3=جحخد3
Key4=ذرز4
Key5=سشص5
Key6=ضطظ6
Key7=عغف7
Key8=قلم8
Key9=نهـوي9

i suppose it works
i ve done this a month ago for 82xx
Power to the greek modyfiers :P :P :P

So can be used this method for adding Russian SMS input to 3210 (or others that doesn't support russian input natively)? Coz when this entries are changed to Russian one you can write in Russian but receiver of this SMS will not see it :(

Yes!! This method CAN be used to add Russian SMS writing to 3210 but I do not know if it really works. If the receiver has a handset that supports unicode then he will "see" correctly the Cyrillic chars. The only way to find out is R&D!!

3310 ALREADY SUPORT WRITE ARABIC V5.13>5.79 SUPORT IT

If you extract TEXT chunk using PPM manager you will see two files
the txt and a pk file
inside the pk file are the flags..
8800000 is unicode
8000000 is normal
A800000 is compressed unicode
so you change the flag to be unicode..then you change the special characters area :)

Yeap!! I found out a little late... Sorry!!! I will try to do my best for 82xx and 3210 and 3350...

C ya and sorry again.. i didn't know it...

@ Al

THX for the link... I am trying...

[Al]

@Finn
08000000 - GSM alphabet
8C000000 - for UTF-8
88000000 - Unicode
A8000000 - Compressed unicode

btw 24 bit indicates is it COMM (0) or other(1) subchunk
i.e. for COMM:
00000000 - GSM alphabet
84000000 - UTF-8
80000000 - Unicode
A0000000 - Compressed unicode

and in PPMMaker you can change character set more easily ;)

PS I think you've wrote this not for me ;) And what's a special character area ?

[gkagg]

I tried to add Arabic input support to a 3350 and I kinda managed it. I sent a message from 3350 written in Arabic chars to a 3310 pack j and the SMS was displayed correctly!!!!

I will try to make a 3210 with Arabic SMS input support and upload it ...

C ya...

[Al]

with 3210 only problem was that it doesn't support unicode input natively, and 3350 does, so there maybe other things here that needs to be changed.

[Finn]

thanx Al for correcting me :)

Hey Al I am surprized!!! Is there anything that you do not know??;) ;) This is a fact indeed but I wonder what the obstacle is... Is it in the MCU? Maybe... maybe not...
Anyway... Does 8210 support unicode input natively?

C ya...

PS as for the flags there is one more (0x8c0000000) which I think is MBCS (Multi Byte Character Set) correct me if I am wrong...

Yup, thereis a lot of anything that I don't know ;) About 8210 - sorry, don't know (or can't remember ;))


SORRY, my mistake of course 0x8C000000 - it's UTF-8, sorry again, that's coz my really bad memory :), plz forgive me :), I've corrected flags above

Now that I recall it , Greek lang in 3210 is unicode right?. However, using this phone (3210) we could input Greek chars by writing SMS and send them correctly, provided that the receiver's phone supported Greek character set... Can't it be done with either Russian or Arabic or any other Unicode lang as well??

If I am not mistaken, 3210 uses 8 bits per character right? So for the chars to be displayed correctly the receiver's phone must support the same alphabet as the sender... So why the chars are not displayed correctly if someone changes the LPCS end edits the keypresses?

[Al]

Russian in 3210 also Unicode (16bits per char), but you can't enter Unicode characters (at last for Russian).
So you could write in Greek on 3210 ?
Sorry, I don't have 3210 here to test :(

Yes my mistake. Unicode is 16bits per char...:confused:

As for the SMS input in 3210 yes we could write SMS natively using our alphabet but 3210 had never Greek T9 dictionary. Sometime (maybe tomorrow) I will upload a 3210 file with either Russian or Arabic SMS input so as to be tested just to see in what level we are.. Do you agree? I hope yes.! ;)

Does anyone know how to convert a TEXT CHUNK from 08000000 (GSM) to 88000000 (Unicode) and vice versa, but the text strings can remain untouched so the could be displayed properly either on the phone or in an editing proggy like INOCULATE or PPMmaker?

[Al]

@gkagg
TEXT CHUNK from 08000000 (GSM) to 88000000 (Unicode) and vice versa

PPMMaker can do this easily ;) If you don't know how just let me know =) It works 100%, any conversions:
UTF-8 <> Unicode
GSM <> Unicode
UTF-8 <> GSM

[gkagg]

Could you tell me how to do it please?:rolleyes: :confused:


It's OK!! I found it.. It was easy... I was a little confused sorry
!!!:confused: :confused: :)

[Al]

@gkagg
Sure =)
In PPMMakers TEXT editor choose in droplist character set you want then press Ok , that's all =) I've implemented this feature in v1.05 of PPMMaker, plz read whatsnew.txt from PPMMaker package =)

YEAP!!! Thanx and sorry!!:D :D It really works!!! GREAT!!

[Al]

You're welcome =)

I changed the languages flag from GSM to unicode with PPM Maker as you said and all went ok. However when I want to reconvert thist Lang to GSM alphabet I receive the following error!

"No translation for unicode symbol '2026' in LPCS
Use UTF-8 or unicode character set"

Any idea?

Apart from editing the keypress entries into TEXT CHUNK you must edit LPCS chunk so as to contain the Arabic chars...
At least that's what I hove done...

What a pity... I will check it out and see what is wrong and If I find anything I will fix it repost the file...

@TornadoHeart.

I know that 825 has the same keymap with 8210...;) However there is no PPM pack with Arabic because this phone is for Asia PACific only...
