I was trying to add the portuguese words to the user db file, but i get the feeling that after about 10k words it starts overwriting, I lost the initially inserted words, and the adding process started taking a lot longer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] apsis:
here are the language files (spanish and english/ with my user-db. added words are those from my older post here, the 10.000 common german words).

Languagefiles on Megaupload

@Laureus, yeah same way i thought :/ i wonder if swype could take them over in the languafile or use more than one user-db.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lancelot54:
i'm doing one.

We don't know how to delete all words in english dictionnary. Adding a blank-text file will certainly don't works.

OK so this method don't work.. We can't add a full dictionnary to swype isn't ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ranj9119:
Check third post. Updated with new informations.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ranj9119:
Some quotes from PPC Warez thread.

We are way beyond this. Just wanted to share my exp about emptying ZDB files with you.

Cheers,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lancelot54:
I've added more than 18,000 words but the first words I entered are deleted by the newer.. what can I do ??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sir.John:
right now: nothing, sorry: that's the limitation we are talking about over the last pages of this thread. eversthing that exceeds 65535 starts overwriting the first entries appearantly :-/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lancelot54:
What about deleting english.zdb.le and remplacing it by userdata renamed as "english.zdb.le" ? -> Use userdata as english dictionnary directly ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sir.John:
Emptying the *.zkb.le

just to share what failed so far :-(

- empty file doesn't work

- comparing english and spanish zkb.le revealed no similarities, so no obivious header and or footer that is recognized by Swype seems to be included

- dort of "brute force" attempt to fake an empty spanish.zkb.le by copying a) first lines of characters, b)last lines of characters c) first and last line of characters did not work

- I'm lacking the phlegmatism to try this char by char ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ranj9119:
thats a f'ckin awesome idea! 21 pages and no one came up with it! great job man. I use english. so someone has to test it who is not using english. why "english.zdb.le"? we can change spanish db :D Great suggestion ;)

edit: Has anyone tried Hex editor? comparing hex entries? Maybe we find smth there in the very first offsets. Just an idea
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] apsis:
i have alreay read what you have been posting from ppcwarez @hirad.

still tried it, and when i create a 'german.zdb.le' it swype will recognize it as 'deutsch' so far so good, but after emptying the zdb-file with notepad, i still get my english suggestions...thats weird. any ideas so far?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] umiss:
I've also tried adding swedish words, and as it seems the amount of words one can add are limited :( And I don't see any increasement of the filesize either, so what can we do? :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lancelot54:
Someone who as a UserData.udb with personals words can :

1- delete Spanish.zdb.le

2- rename UserData as "Spanish.zdb.le"

3- replace the original Spanish.zdb.le with this new one

4- Try if its work... finger crossed :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sir.John:
I just renamed userdata.udb to spanish.zkb.le - no good, I'm afraid

That was what I did....yet to no avail, sorry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ranj9119:
Hey man, nice to hear that. Have you tried emptying german.zdb.le and filling it up with the data of userdb.udb? i might work

edit:

p.s. WOW this thread is alive! :D:p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] neborkia:
Be careful, you have to rename to spanish.zdb.le not spanish.zkb.le!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] apsis:
I renamed Userdata to German.zdb.le, selected 'deutsch' which means german as language in swype ... but still getting english suggestions. do you think the userdata allready contains some suggestions? and if userdata is limited with its size, you think its beeing limited within the file or within the program? we may could try adding a new userdb which is empty maybe we'll lose this limitation...

other than that did anyone find a way to open *.udb files? since zdb seems very unknown (read somewhere that if you rename it to *.xls you can open it up in excel, and you will receive a password-entry. havent tried it yet since i dont have office running now on my computer. but while searching for 'udb files' in google i've found a program which should open those... but still havent tried yet. any other known ways to limit a file?

edit_ @hirad

i havent found a way yet to read the data within the user-db file yet, so i cant post the whole content in the zdb.le but renaming it to zdb.le shouldnt have cleared it. what makes me wonder is ... clear zdb.le (still english suggestions-where does swype take them from?)rename userdata to zdb.le (german.zdb.le/again english suggestions)

i must finish a few things here right now. when im done, i will try to remove all zdb.le expect the empty one or the user-db renamed one ... will see if it still gives me english suggestions.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ranj9119:
you have to choose your language in program settings. when i switch to spanish english doesn't work anymore. i think you havn't selected the German in swype settings

"(read somewhere that if you rename it to *.xls you can open it up in excel, and you will receive a password-entry. havent tried it yet since i dont have office running now on my computer. but while searching for 'udb files' in google i've found a program which should open those... but still havent tried yet. any other known ways to limit a file?"

i said that. But it doesnt work. excel shows only symbols in that file. whats the program name? maybe i can give it a try
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lancelot54:
be careful :
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lancelot54:
Good idea, but we don't know how to open & modify UserData.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] apsis:
my fault, its selectable from the language-selection but it will stay on english. i will continue later. crossing my fingers you guys will find something breathetaking

anyone tried this yet? Link

edit_

also renaming a language file to an other except the installed ones (spanish/english)makes them appear in the language selection, but selecting them will make swype stay on english ... corrupt file? or maybe we have to unlock it from the registry. the limitation may also be within the registry, i will take a look later. but maybe someone can take a look at those things.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ranj9119:
I tried using udb az zdb. Swype give me error when I entered the setting menu: Deutsch language cannot be opened!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arturobandini:
See what they say here. http://swype.uservoice.com/pages/17...3-where-to-download-swype-wm6-5-?ref=comments

Swype is not an application that you can download because we have a special business approach where we pre-load the software onto the specific phone and work out and kinks that could possibly occur to ensure the best performance of Swype for our customers. If you do have the phone with Swype on it already there are specific upgrades that can be downloaded.

and here. http://swype.uservoice.com/pages/17...at-languages-does-swype-support-?ref=comments

We have over 20 languages supported now, Thai is on the list. If you want Swype with Thai you could ping your carrier and let them know!

I totally do not understand this strategy, No customer will chose a specific device just because of its keyboard. But so many customers would be ready to purchase swype for their device...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arturobandini:
+1

great idea... at least we shall try...

Turkleton said: "I think it is of most importance to not fall behind other concurrents. So far, swype is great, but I don't think there is any way I would prefer swype over SlideIT just because of the hassle with the dictionaries. Maybe something to think about, as this idea shows, a significant amount of people share these thoughts."

This statement is so true. Donwload the dictionary you need is a better idea. Maybe I need to use several languages. French, but also Italian and English... Swype can't offer this.

Anyway SlideIT is really better and faster (If only it hadn't this horrible landscape bug)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shu8i:
will the custom words be added to english.zdb.le? if so we could try this:

keep a backup of the original file, add some words and see what has been changed after that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ranj9119:
if you could read the post in last few pages you would undestand that it'll be added to usercustom.udb file ;)

Finally we are on FreewarePocketPC.net
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbonzz:
There are, indeed: see screenshots (red background parts are different, white ones are equal). But other than this, i don't know how to proceed :-(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] apsis:
you can try to remove the different parts and upload the clean verson with only the parts which are in both versions. maybe swype will accept this one as a different language.

but we still need to figure out how we can remove the size limitation in the usd file, or how to open the zdb.le files so you can view the whole content unencrypted..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] laureus:
i'm a bit in a hurry right now. maybe someone else can try this.

if the userdata file cannot get bigger than 65535byte then there has to be a setting for this.

perhaps this setting is in the userdata.udb itself and we could try to search for this value with a hexeditor, change it to something bigger and then be able to store morde words in it.

edit: DONT DO THIS. it screwed my layout. see the next page
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] neborkia:
In the official forum an admin says that the user db is intentionally limited to 65535 words!

dont do this! it screwed my keyboard and now i cant write anything at all.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] apsis:
gimme a second, maybe i've found a solution.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ranj9119:
I have an idea:

Compare two file like bbonzz did in post #233. English.zdb.le and Spanish.zdb.le. Select all different parts in Spanish.zdb.le and replace them with contents of usercustom.db. Save it as your language .zdb.ke eg. French.zdb.le

Give it a try and report. Back.

10 people before you asked exact thing u did, Other users and/or me answered them all. Try reading last pages instead of asking. Also I think the tutorial is crystal clear.

Cheers,

Hirad
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbonzz:
No go. And in fact it cannot work this way: these files are databases, so they have, at least

-header part

-index part

-data part

This means you cannot simply copy/paste, but a way to decompile/recompile has to be found. Otherwise you simply create a meaningless file
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] apsis:
i need some help from you guys.

first of all, what i did - i made a backup of UserData.usd and after that erased it from the swype folder. went to email-editor wrote something and saved it, no problems or errors and the word is remembered. after doing this i created a new blank file on my computer and renamed it to UserData.usd, added some text from the 10.000common list, marked it and pressed the swype key. i have nearly the whole list safed till now (~5000words) and everything i tried is beeing remembered. so far so good, but there's still the limitation you may think... i took a look at my blank-created UserData.usd and it still has 0kB filesize. i dont know where swype safes them now ... but it does. i will continue adding the whole list and we will see what will happens, if swype will recognize them all. but for now i need the files from swype-folder to compare them with mine, so i can see where the words will be safed now.

maybe i've forgotten anything, but maybe this could be a solution, but i need your help to figure it out if it is working

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] apsis:
well my solution isnt working :( while saving the last words of the list, the blackstone freezes. after softreset userdata.udb again had 64kb. i also couldnt find anything usefull in the registry yet,just the entrie to set the mainlanguage of swype. but it wont work as long as we dont have the right files.

maybe we should wait for the shipped roms with the other languages ..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ranj9119:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] apsis:
yes, another way would be to open up the userdata.udb and remove the filelimit-size which would make it possible for us to use the userdata as a provisory dictionary. the only promissing try i've read from, was opening the zde.le files in exel by renaming them to .xls which leads to a password-submission.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sir.John:
IIRC a few pages back hirad reported to have opened a udb/xls in Excel successfully but wasn't able to make sense of it as it was either empty or only one char big or similiar...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] laureus:
the thing is if you delete the userdata.udb or edit it swype just creates a new one with the same settings. so the info has to be stored somewhere else then in the userdata.udb itself.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Razzee:
yeah, but that won't work for the zkb files, I think there are informations about the keyboard layout in it. would be the best design choice I think.

Hi there,

I wrote Swype-Guys a post in Modapo, that there strategy is not very logical. If there are that many people who want to use SWYPE on "old" devices this is a market. I'm sure most of us would be willing to pay some $ to get these language-files. And by the way, as well the manufacturers would see that this application is really a must for future mobiles.. Anyway, maybe they have some deals that do not allow Business 2 Customer Business.

For the discussion:

I don't think that "learned" words are saved in userdata, as it remains 63K all the time. Couldn't it be, that new words are saved in the ZDB.LE-File of the selected language? My English.zdb.le is 240K the spanish only 45K. I have added approx 3'000 words while having selected UK as language..

Just an idea..

Hi Apsis,

could you upload you English.ZDB.LE, as I think the words might be saved in there. What size does it have after having added the 10'000 words?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] laureus:
just save as a txt-file and youre good.

learned words are stored in userdata but only up to a size of 64kbyts if you have more words the old ones will be overwritten.

i think we will not make any progress until we find a way to edit the language files. since we have no suitable application for these files....

we may have to wait for swypedevelopers to releases their software on a device with more languages.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Januwar:
If the ZDB-Extension really stands for EPQS Database then we can forget to ever open the files... These are highly protected security databases as used by US army... But maybe it is only the same extension but something completely different :)

@Laureus: I have switched to your userdata, maybe I have done something wrong, but quite a lot of the words that are on your list are not recognized. Not even the last ones in the list like "gesunder" or "gestürzt" and so on. These should have overwritten the older ones if imported last.

I still doubting if words are saved in userdata only. What size is your English-ZDB-LE?
