1) Where can I download the CF in other languages?
2) Are there emulators available in other languages?

Thanks.

Hi Richard,

You can download localized emulator images for Windows Mobile 2003 for
Pocket PC from:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/downloads/sdks/default.aspx

Click on "Software Development Kit for Windows Mobile 2003-based Pocket PC
Emulator Images" under Emulation Technologies. Or go straight to the
download page:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...02-47a8-4ce4-9aa7-5fe85b95de72&displaylang=en

***Watch for wrapping of the URL***

I'm not sure what you mean by .NET Compact Framework availability in other
languages though. Check out the "World-Ready Device Applications" section of
the .NET Compact Framework Product Documentation - it may answer your
question, if not post back:

Jonathan,

Thanks for the pointer on the emulators -- that's exactly what I needed.

On the subject of CF language: I'm trying to produce a CDROM that permits
the customer to install the CF on a PDA. The desktop might not be English,
and the PDA might not be English. My testing so far is with the MS standard
redistributable, NETCFSetup.msi, on my English systems. Naturally, the
desktop wizard dialog is in English and the CF on the PDA displays English
error messages. Two questions: 1) Are there other versions of this file that
present the dialog in other languages (on the desktop, obviously), and 2)
Are there other versions of the file that should be used if the PDA is not
English?

Thanks for the help.

Hi Richard, To answer 1) below localized versions of "desktop" installer are
available here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...a3-7282-4ba9-b26b-2267e972501d&displaylang=en

The default language is English, however these is a combo box that allows
you to choose from the languages that are available. The actual .NET Compact
Framework bits that are delivered by these localized installers are
identical.

The only aspect of the .NET Compact Framework that is localized is the
exception strings. See "Resource Localization" for more information:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...s/dv_evtuv/html/etconresourcelocalization.asp

So to answer 2) below, it depends on whether you wish to obtain localized
exception strings when an exception occurs.

I hope this helps.

Jonathan,

I downloaded one of the emulator images files, "Pocket PC 2003 SDK English
Emulation Images.msi". However, I am unable to install it. At
installation-time it displays the error message "...To install this
emulation images package, you must first install the Pocket PC 2003 SDK".

Is there a way to get the new emulators that doesn't require downloading the
entire SDK?

Thanks.
