The following methods show you how to import a chinese audibles (HK, TW or CN) into your English version of Yahoo! Messenger. This method is created for those who want to have the chinese Audibles list in their English interface YM.

Steps:

1.
Install an English copy of YM into your computer at default path. (e.g c:\program files\Yahoo!\Messenger)

2.
Install a HK/TW/CN version of YM (only choose 1, HK version is highly recommended) into your computer at different path. (e.g c:\program files\Yahoo!\MessengerHK)

p/s: The installation process is in chinese word, sometimes the words may not be readable if you don't use chinese windows or don't enable the chinese unicode language settings. Don't worry. Pls uncheck all installation options available. You need to install the messenger only.

3.
Open your HK/TW/CN version of YM, login with your account. Then send one audible to any of your friend. Then, sign out the YM.

4.
Go to the HK/TW/CN version of YM "cache" directory in the installation directory (e.g c:\program files\Yahoo!\MessengerHK\cache). Choose the "audiblemenu.xml" file.

5.
Copy the "audiblemenu.xml" file to the "cache" directory in the "English" YM installation directory (e.g c:\program files\Yahoo!\Messenger\cache) .

6.
Now, you may run the English YM and test for your Audibles.


Notes:
1. HK version of YM is recomended in this integration because it includes the HK, TW and English version of audibles.


If anyone had any method better than mine, please share together. Thank you and enjoy.

The screenshoot after integration (English YM interface with HK,TW and English Audibles). You may see many question marks for English windows or without chinese unicode enable windows.

wow..thanks..but can i just take the audiblemenu.xml from anyone else, rather than installing it?

i have tried this b4 but failed. The audiblemenu.xml file has its own signature. Cannot change it directly.

ok, i got another way to get chinese audible.
Install HK/TW/CN yahoo messenger, copy the file res_msgr.dll from english yahoo messenger(from your friend or you install it first). Paste the file into HK/TW/CN yahoo messenger folder. Your HK/TW/CN will show english right now.

Can anyone upload audibles.xml here ? Although i don't understand any word from chinese, it's fun to use them .. so please, upload it here

Oh yeah... can use this software to apply the audibles, it won't appear in the menu though, only in "Recently used Audibles"
