Change Language

[wikati]

Hey, so i have an xbox that was running UX dash had been softmodded and was in french

i fixed it all up and have everything how i want it.... except the default language keeps going back to french whenever i switch it to english and then power down... anything come to mind?

Does your softmod use Shadow C?

Good question. any idea on how to tell without any knowledge what i did prior to this point? i appreciate you droppin in.

What end up happening is i booted with the dvd drive open to boot to the xbox dash and changed the language., then power-off/power-on the language change stuck..
I had been booting xboxdash.xbe from file manager in xbmc and changing language.

it wouldnt stick.

So, that must be a virtual C? because there seems to be another installation on a seperate partition. R:

Seems to be working. I was surprised the game carried the language change,

However you installed the softmod, there should be a way to disable it there. You can do that, then boot normally and change your language. Then re-apply the softmod.

I need to do this on my Crystal. It boots french and i have no idea as i cant read one word in french and i took that language in high school lol.

I have never had the language issue but I have used Rocky5's Soft Mod tools to return the unit back to its' default state and then re-do the Soft Mod.  I still prefer the Splinter Cell / Game Save way of Soft Modding vs. using like a utilities disk though.

I ended up getting it to stick by booting to the microsoft dash. boot with the disk drive ejected.

when i changed it from there it seemed to stick.

 

I used Hexen LXHDM option to "rebuild the drive" i guess it does like a full reinstall, works well.

Try the way i did it?

I use my gut when i navigating french. trying to think on a total translation would just sit me down. UnleashX was making it rather easy to find language settings.

Sorry for digging up an old topic, but my question is about a similar subject, so I thought it would probably better to keep it all in one topic.

 

My XBOX was set to Portuguese Language, and after softmodding with Splinter Cell and Rocky5 Softmod 1.1.6, the menus are now in English. There's no language file anywhere to select in System Settings, and booting C:\xboxdash.xbe with File Explorer takes me to the original Dashboard in Portuguese, where the laguage settings are already set to Portuguese.

I don't mind the softmod dashboard being in English, but can it be changed to other languages? If so, where can I get the translations?

Simply use Rocky5 DVD and install MS DASH as an application. Then you simply start that application from within Unleashx or whatever dash is your primary, and change the language. I also fixed my connection to the Internet that wasn't working, by trying to connect to Xbox live on the MS DASH, and then I could use my ehternet connection perfectly on Unleashx, etc

 

I hope those "tips" help you.

Sorry, been busy so took a while to reply.

I took a closer look at the original dashboard files, but couldn't find anything related to translated text, even tried hexediting some files, but they're either compressed or encrypted. UnleashX dashboard includes xml for English, French, German and Spanish. Any possibility that some other translations exist? If not, I'll probably make one for myself and share it.
