well I think the french people here will be willing to help you.
How is a translation made? is it a sort of text file extracted that can be re-written?

In fact, all w really need (at least in my opinion) is the french keyboard layout and special characters. For the rest, as what I see on the forum, we all speak enaught english to cope with the UI.

I hope you don't have to 'jailbreak' the phone before you can make changes to the OS / UI. But I think we have to do so. Begin 2009, when I probably got the phone, I can start.

@waja2000 can you ask JW if we can easily translate the UI into Dutch/French/German etc.?

As a Dutchie having lived in the US, I'll be happy to take part in any Dutch translation of firmware for the M8

Feel free to contact me!

Let's first wait 'til it's out so we can start looking for a way to translate it. Maybe it's not even possible or maybe it's already done by Meizu. When translation is possible, it's very easy to do automatically using, for example, an interactive website where people can contribute to the translation.

That sounds good. I think it will be a good way to have a useful translation because the translation e.g. the German which is using in china mobiles is sometimes very funny. They translate it directly but in content the words they use have other meanings

I think it will be the same in French, Dutch etc.?

It tends to look somewhat like Google translate, yes :P

Even though, the M6 was translated pretty well.

Ehm so what's the price tag on these "test" units? Please if you are going to answer by "look it up" just don't bother answering.

Diamond杀到1900我都无视~
event Htc Diamond drop untill 1900rmb about 290USD i also not worry.

Fans compare java performance between M8 VS Diamond
以下是引用J.Wong在2008-11-20 1:36:00的发言：
总之请相信我m8性能绝对不会差
Diamond系统流畅性也跟m8不是一个级别
please believe that my m8 performance will not miss,
The Diamond system smooth compare with m8 will not be a same class.

thank you for the information

Many fans ask already, but no reply from J.Wong.

thank you waja for all the expertise you bring. i follow the forum religiously and don't remember seeing any concrete plans to release the second version. now with the first version of M8 is slated to be released, when do you think the second version, with all bells and whistles, will be released? UI would be the same so it should not take too long but you never know.

I think around 2010 (Probably Q1-Q2 in 2010), but I hope they'll release it at the end of 2009. The UI will be the same or almost the same. However it can take much time.... Like they have the Network License problem. Just wait and enjoy the first version of the M8

second version at lease need other 10 month, you know that Apple take 16 month to launch Iphone 3G after first phone release.

yes, but apple's situation is different as they primarily compete with itself and i believe that's why they offer very marginal improvements in the new versions. i don't actually think they need that long to develop a new version. they're mostly maximizing their almost-monopoly profits.

the case for meizu is different, especially if the second version and the first version are intended for different market segments. meizu should come up with it asap, wouldn't you agree?

guys, i find this from a post of meizu's bbs：
