Palmovyh PDA users are well-known problem of Russian fonts when synchronizing PDA with the "desktop" systems, Apple Macintosh. Universal solutions to today did not exist. But the recent development department of the company "MakTsentr" released a program Conduit Patcher, which promises to fix all the errors in the conduit programs, synchronizer Palm Desktop. The process of "learning" palmovogo synchronizer Russian language described the leading specialist companies Andrei Lysenko.
Preparation
Installing on a Mac utility to Palm Desktop 4.0, is difficult not to notice that she initially did not want to "talk" in Russian: even without any sync Cyrillic fonts are displayed incorrectly. Therefore, the first step is to delve into the settings. Open the folder containing the program Palm Desktop, select the executable file, hold down - you will see context menu in which you want to choose a line Show Package Content ("Show Package Contents"). In the window that opens, Palm Desktop, locate the folder Contents / Resources / English.lproj. All you need to do - create a directory Resources copy of the folder English.lproj, renamed it ru.lproj.

If it's set of OSes as the primary language set to English (ie, the entire user interface in English), you must once again call context menu for the program Palm Desktop, select the line Get Info ("Passport"), and then in the menu Languages ("Languages" ) to leave only the selected item "ru". The same operation should be done with all the programs within the package Palm Desktop (Palm Desktop Background, Palm Desktop Support, HotSync Manager, Transport Monitor, Conduit Manager, etc.). Finally, run Palm Desktop, open the menu Fonts and all of its fields, specify either the Cyrillic font (such as Geneva CY), and the menu Addresses - uncheck of checkboxes Auto-capitalization, and Auto-completion. It's done: now in all fields Palm Desktop you will be able to recruit Russian text.
Why do I need Conduit Patcher?
All the described manipulations correct only the problem with the text entered in the Palm Desktop to "offline" mode. But it is necessary to synchronize, as in the program reappear recordings made weird flourishes - all text transferred from the CCP appears in RAR format. Conduit Patcher offers a very convenient way to Russification of Palm Desktop. Simply open through it all conduits (they are located in the Mac OS X / Lybrary / Application Support / Palm HotSync / Conduits), and all the code table will be corrected. You can use the method and Drag & Drop, ie allocate conduits and drag the icon "patcher". If the operation succeeds, the message: "Patch OK! Conduit file" File Name "was successfully patched".
Some conduits are free conversion tables and do not need correcting, so do not be alarmed if when you try to "patch" will receive an error message: "Can't find data to patch in this conduit. Try to chek the conduit file" File Name "and make sure it is a proper one".
What problems does not solve the Conduit Patcher
First, the standard Palm Desktop for Mac is not compatible with Pocket Sony CLIE, and a special version for them is not produced, and, naturally, Conduit Patcher is not able to make friends. Secondly, the texts that draw on the "desktop" system, bypassing the Palm Desktop (eg via Bluetooth) to decode separately: for this good program Mail, or any browser Clipboard Conveter. Third, all programs (except for Palm Desktop), have the sync feature, will give the same errors.For example, Documents To Go that came with is almost useless for use with the Russian language, and "firm" synchronizer iSync from Apple - only carries the texts of Tungsten in a Macintosh, without changing the encoding (stored Windows Cyrillic cp1251). When you send a text in the opposite direction (from the "desktop" system in the PDA) instead of the Russian text of the message "String is unprintable". Get the program Conduit Patcher is available for free when you buy a Pocket PC-based Palm OS in the company MakTsentr "(www.hpc.ru.). Sources, Materials:
