im trying to translate a s60 program with hex workshop to hebrew as target language. now when im translating it, it shows me gibrish on my phone.. im kinda new in this area.. anyone can tell me how?
What do you mean by "hex workshop"? You mean you don't hold the source code of the program, only the binary, and you try to patch some strings to Hebrew?
If the program already uses a font that also contains Hebrew characters, and if the phone somehow reverses the direction of writing automatically when a string contains only Hebrew characters, then this might work - but probably it won't because some small detail is just not right, and the result will be your "gibberish" on screen.
It might be fairly easy to patch string constants with a hex editor, but to go as far as modifying the program itself on the object code level, e.g. for inserting a call to switch the writing direction, would probably require the skills of a master hacker...
