Hey guys!
I have a WIndows CE 5.0 device here, it's got an american english keyboard layout, which is a pity, since I live in germany and only have german keyboards.
Does anybody know how to change the lazout? That'd be awesome, thanks!
Realize that this is only going to affect they keyboard output when you press a key. It doesn't change the language set of the device. To do that you need to substitute the .mui file. Or better yet, reflash the unit with German firmware if possible.
Nice thing about remapping the keyboard is you can pop the keys off and move them elsewhere. You can turn a QWERTY keyboard into a QWERTZ keyboard.

Several possibilities.
First would be to use a keyboard remapper program. Something like OKey found here:

Thanks Rich. Unfortunately though, it's a MIPS device, and the programs you listed are incompatible.
I can however reflash the ROM from an NB0 file. So I'd have to scramble a german keyboard DLL from PB and add it to the registry, correct?
How about Parawin...they used to have a MIPS version...you could invoke a hot key and your keyboard would be some other language set. Also give Remap in the download section a try. The examp!e shows the cursor keys being remapled, but if I remember, you can remap any key....sucy as changing the Y to the Z and visa versa. If thaf worked you could then physically cbange the actual key covers to correspond...
