Hi all

I am not a manila guru.. and this is my first dive in to the manila naming ocean...

I started this thread when some person that i asked for the filenames to have Greek language

in the documents tab he refuse to tell me EVEN the filenames.

So when i figure out how it works i deside to put together this Howto for other people.

This is a tutorial, a howto find the manila file names for the varius language,apps and tabs.

You will need

a) ManilaHASH.exe

b) Manilafiles.txt

Files are provided in the end of this post.

In his tutorial we will try to find the manila files and filenames to have the document tab in

Greek Language.

The same way works for any tab and any language...

So lets start.

The manila files that holds all the strings are the xml ones...

1. Open the manilafiles.txt in a text editor you will see lines like this one

5bb3a45f_manila \windows\htc\album\assets\images\btn_camera_press.qtc

The first part its the actual filename.(You will find that file in the windows folder)

The second one its a virtual path that refers to that filename.

(I dont know how and why they just are linked and the manilahash app use this to produce the

actual filenames.)

Lets find now the filenames for the document tab.

2. Search the Manilafiles.txt file for the string 'document' and when you find the first instance

scrool down to find the lines with the xml files

in our case the lines are :

35bfc9f0_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\docicons.en-us.xml

4e4ebb4e_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\documentexplorer.en-us.xml

43326f20_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\documentexplorerbrowse.en-us.xml

4db93f9f_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\documentexplorersettings.en-us.xml

1a93e5c6_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\expandeddocument.en-us.xml

The first part of those lines is the actual filename.

Those are the files that we need to find them in the \windows folder of the device and copy

them for editing. So find them and copy them from the device to your pc.

Before go to the next step, lest do a test now just to see how the manilahash.exe and the manila

naming works.

3. Open the manilahash.exe and copy and paste the "\windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\docicons.en-us.xml"

to the manila file path textbox.

Then press the "get manila" button ... you will get the 35bfc9f0_manila witch is refered in our text file.

The same goes for the others files... just check them.

4. Now lets go for the other language - the greek

In the filepath for the first file "\windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\docicons.en-us.xml" change

the language code from en-us to el-gr the greek language code, and now the path string its like this :

"\windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\el-gr\docicons.el-gr.xml".

(Here you can find all the language codes to letters for each of the 2 parts, the Primary language and Sublanguage)

5. Copy this to the manila file path textbox of manilahash.exe app and press getmanila to get the name

of the file for the greek language witch is this: 7139AFEE_manila.

So now copy the file 35bfc9f0_manila and rename it to 7139AFEE_manila.

Follow the same procedure for all the files.

The open the all files with a text editor and change the first line the string en-us to el-gr and save.

Transfer all the files to \windows folder of your device and after a softreset you will have greek (or any other lang

in the document tab.

The procedure is generaly the same for any other set of files or tabs... and for any language...

I dont now if the text file with the names covers all the manila files... i did some try and find attemps

and all the files where there.

If i can help you with your search just post the question here.

Thanks to metlwater, he was the first that answer my question about manila file names in the facebook tab

greek translation.
