Localize the Soft Key Label

  • Article

4/8/2010

You can localize the label for a soft key by including the language code registry subkey.

Note that, beginning with Windows Mobile 6.5.3, soft keys are replaced by touchable tiles on Windows Mobile Professional phones.**

The following code sample shows how to, for example, use the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Home\Keys\113 registry key language code subkeys to include the language code.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Home\Keys\113\0409]
@="WW English"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Home\Keys\113\040C]
@="French"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Home\Keys\113\0407]
@="German"

To change this registry setting after manufacture, you must create an XML file that uses the Registry Configuration Service Provider.
