I found only this :
To hack an OS to make your own languages:
1. Get and install NavTweak
2. Decide what language you will change, eg EN to PL
3. Browse the OS CD image to \Mk3\0116\BMWC01S\app_sw, open usw_load , go to the Strings tab and extract the EN language text strings by clicking Export (tip:0116 = your hardware version v1.16, check with your nav that it is the right hardware version)
4. Translate all EN strings to PL strings at your leisure
5. Load the PL strings back into the usw_load file by using NavTweak Strings Import, and put the usw_load file back into the image
6. Rename the PL voice to the same name as the EN voice file (e_f.csf) (in langMk3\0501 directory)

Ok, you can do it that way...the problem with this is, if you have OEM phone and TV then you get the original language (as the tv and phone) have there own language files and do not use the nav language setup files.

Do I have other options or i need to export strings rename it and then import it again?
|
Export the whole EN language file to txt, edit the top 2 entrys (from ENG to IT), then reimport.
However I would, use navcoder to recode your mk3 mate, its a whole lot easier than doing it this way, all you need is a laptop, navcoder, an i-bus interface and an OS disc.

Do I need to change already renamed string to EN or i can leave it IT.

you will need to keep the primary language tag at the top of the file (that you import), but you can change IT to EN for the menu tag.

P.S welcome to the forums.
P.S.S, this thread is for nightmode mods mate not OS language mods, I'm happy to help, but try and find the right thread (or start a new one), if you dont have a nightmode problem.
