Run the BlackBerry Localization Demo

After numerous trials and errors and searching the net, I finally can partially run the Localization Demo of BlackBerry in Eclipse 3.4.1.

By default, the simulator's language is English. So, the followings are the steps to call the application in English :

Go to the Simulator Press Menu key Choose Downloads Choose Localization Demo In Choose a Country:, the default is United States. Just let it be. Press the Menu key Choose View. The information of USA is displayed on the screen. Press Escape key to back to the Choose a Country: Click the United States to call the pop up menu Press down arrow in the keyboard to go to China Press Enter key in the keyboard. Now, the China information is display. Press Escape key to back to the Choose a Country: Click the China to call the pop up menu Press down arrow in the keyboard to go to Germany Press Enter key in the keyboard. Now, the information of Germany is displayed. Press Escape key to back to the Choose a Country: Press Escape key to quit the application

To test the Demo in German, one have to add the German language into the simulator. For example, when using the simulator 9530, edit the 9530.xml to locate the line:

<application>net.rim.blackberry.lang.en_GB</application>

Then, add the following line under it :

<application>net.rim.blackberry.lang.de</application>

Afterwards, use the followings to test the application in German :

Go to the Simulator Press Menu key Choose Options Choose Language In the Language:, choose Deutsche Press Menu key Choose Save. Now everything is in German. Hope that you know German :) Press Escape key Choose Downloads Choose Sparchopti... In the screen, the default is United States. Just let it be. Press the Menu key Choose Anzeigen to view the information of USA in German language Press Escape key to go back Click the United States to call the pop up menu Press down arrow in the keyboard to go to China Press Enter key in the keyboard. Now, the China information is display in German Press Escape key to go back Click the China to call the pop up menu Press down arrow in the keyboard to go to Deutschland Press Enter key in the keyboard. Now, the information of Germany is display in German Press Escape key to go back Press Escape key to quit the application Now reset the phone to English.   Choose Optionen Choose Sprache In Sprache:, click the Deutsch to show the pop up menu Choose English Press the Menu key Choose Speichem to save the setting. Now, everything will resume to English

For France, in the 9530.xml add the following lines under it :

<application>net.rim.blackberry.lang.fr</application>

Then, follow the similar steps as German to test the application.

BTW, I have tried the followings language but seems that 9530 simulator does not support them :

Netherland (net.rim.blackberry.lang.en_NL) Traditional Chinese (net.rim.blackberry.lang.zh_TW) Simplied Chinese (net.rim.blackberry.lang.zh_CN)
