Menu in your own languages

Dear all,

Just wanted to inform everyone about the following:
I have been succesfull in creating a V32 Mode2/XA NAV OS Boot disc which is useable for both MK3 and MK4 systems AND (most of all) supports installing the Dutch language for MK3 systems, with the following features:
- Based on the latest BMW NAV OS, V32
- Compiled the image in MODE2/XA mode, so not only useable in MK4 systems, but also in MK3 systems !
- Includes the DUTCH language for MK3 NAV computers, which I successfully applied to a MK3 NAV Computer that I am selling => Voice as well as Menu's are now in Dutch !
- The splash screen shows the (very nice) BMW-logo that I encountered in another mod of the V32 firmware.

Programs/Tools used:
- NavTweak
- Mode2CDMaker.EXE + GUI
- ImgBurn
- NavCoder (KiwiJochen)
- Resler's interface (USB)

It especially took quite a bit of work to find out the correct procedure to modify the file structures so that the CD supports Dutch for MK3-systems and construct the Mode 2/XA CD that I need for my MK3.
Furthermore, translating all the English messages into Dutch took me into the night yesterday....

However, the result counts !

I decided not to share all information about the procedure followed yet.
In case anyone is seriously interested in obtaining this info and possibly also my ImgBurn image file, let me know, and I'll upload it somewhere.

Special thanks to KiwiJochen for all his work in the last couple of years, his endless patience to answer all forum-threads in the best way he possibly can and all his work on the NavCoder program !

Could you please upload this to rapidshare or megaupload. I think a lot of Dutch people will thank you for this!

Tip: no need to translate into NL, as the complete set of NL language text already exists in the Mk4 software. Just copy and paste into the Mk3 software.
