Title: hancomword in japanese
Post by: Harirag on October 26, 2004, 08:30:43 am

I am using the latest cacko rom with japanese support on my sl-c 860. when i switch to japanese mode i have hancomsheet in japanese and i can input in japanese but for some reason i am not able to do the same with hancomword. i was messing around to see if i can get this to work somehow, i found that there is no hancomword.qm file in the i18 folder. How can i get back japanese input for hancomword? is it possible to rip the initrd file of sharp rom get some applications or is it too messy for a beginner? Ashikase ....Stubear.....anyone?

There should be a file called word-eucJP.rc in /usr/QtPalmtop.rom/bin that needs to be symlinked to /home/QtPalmtop/bin for Japanese support in Hancomword

To turn it on

Code: [Select]

cd /home/QtPalmtop/bin
ln -s  /usr/QtPalmtop.rom/bin/word-eucJP.rc ./
You may have to reboot, never tried going back to Japanese in hancomword, but even in English it should allow Japanese input if you have the right font selected.

Stu,

thanx for the reply. first, the symlink was already there in /home/QtPalmtop/bin. so i tried to remove it and symlink word-euc.JP once again from /usr/QtPalmtop.rom/bin/and rebooted. Nothing has changed. can you think of some other cause? Freenote Qt, however takes japanese input even in English mode.

Ahh, just remembered that the Cacko rom may have the English version of hancom word from sl5500.

The word-eucJP.rc file only does the work of the qm file - translating menus - it doesn't have anything to do with Japanese input.

You could try getting the version of Hancomword from the 1.4J Rom for the C860 avavilanle at sharp's Japan site. You can mount the initrd on a linux system an copy the files across.

Search for mtd_block mount if you odn't know how already.
