Hello people,
I just saw on YouTube that some guy had localized their Android in Ukrainian. Is it possible to do this in other languages and what would I need for this?
Thanks a lot!

You could:
Download system sources (original AOSP or maybe sources of some ROM, if they are available), modify them and build. Very long way - I don't recommend it to you.
Talk to some ROM cooker - you will send him localized strings and he will integrate them into his ROM.
You could also use apktool to decode framework-res.apk file, add new locale, build it and install, but it isn't that good: first - it might add some issues, second - you will have to do it after each ROM update.
Second option is the best, I think.
try this app, for me it works with the latest king MT3G-Slide2G1 ROM

Will try it,but where I have to add new locale?
Framework-res.apk now decoded,but at which file are the languages?

You must create e.g res/values-fr (for French language) directory and place strings.xml file in it - similar to strings.xml in the res/values dir.
You should read about Android apps development.
After decoding the apk I add this to the "res" folder,maybe you can
check if it`s right?
Original framework.apk also attached!
Then,after decoding,I have to build new apk and sign it,right?
Hi
did anyone succed with this? In my case all the languages are existing in framework-res.apk but unfortunately only a few of them are available in the language settings menu. Does anyone have an idea on how the menu is set up?
Android localization tool
You can localize Android apps in up to 200 languages using this localization tool: poeditor.com. Translators will have a great time with it, as it offers various features such as translation memory and automatic translation via Google or Bing. :good:

Can anyone know how to rebuiid fonts in G1 so that we can read Unicode perfectly. In fact, I'm using Vietnamese and my language has some letters like à, á, â, ừ, ă, đ,... Now that when I browse web which use Vietnamese, I just only can see the rectangle characters instead of those above.
I found out that in the system directory there has font. And I don't know how to replace those fonts with the Unicode one.
Any ideas for this problem?
You can use my modified update :

Can this pack fully support Unicode? Do you base on JF1.3 firmware?

Yes, It fully support Unicode and you can upgrade it to see Vietnamese websites. I have upgraded on my G1 and it's okay.
i've done it for hebrew - you can do it too
it's quite simple, all you have to do is replace the fonts in the fonts directory (only droid sans and droid sans bold) with fonts that you know have your language, after you replace these fonts (and rename them of course) you have to re-sign the update.zip file and update with it as you would with jfv1.3
so to recap:
open the jfv zip
navigate to fonts directory
delete droid sans and droid sans bold
copy your own (and rename them accordingly)
re-pack the file
sign it with apk sign and the recovery image's key
update it
really simple

Thanks for your Firmware Funbacon and thanks for the guide to cook firmware with my language fonts by eladkatz
Hebrew Support
Elad,
Thanks so much for your post. I'm a bit at a loss, though---
Where did you get the fonts for hebrew? From the SDK? And if you get them, and have root, why can't you just replace the ones already on the phone?
Also, is there any guides that you know of that would help me compile and sign my own modified rc30?
Thanks
Shalom, here and there...
yochai
Ah I found this sticky on repacking boot images... so that's good. But I would really like to replace my fonts directory... although i have a feeling it needs to be compiled.
Also, do you still have your modified hebrew rc30? thanks
I repacked update.zip with my own fonts but when it goes to verify the package, I get an error,
EDIT: Never mind I had signed the update incorrectly. Thanks for the initial instructions though.

I thought I answered you on Android Community forums. The instructions and Hebrew RC30 update can be found on iandroid.co.il forums.
I looked through them, and was unsuccessful. The posted rc30 mod there is no longer available, for one thing. Also I really wanted to know if uploading JF's rc30 would reverse their changes.

JF v1.4 MultiTouch with Unicode fonts.
Hi Thanks to Funbacon and JF for R30 v1.41, I just modified it to include the unicode fonts originaly was in v1.3 (Funbacon post). Please download it and rename to update.zip and following instruction from JF v1.41 update.
http://www.hoadam.net/jf141_unicode.zip
This version will let you use Multi Touch with unicode, not sure other languages but Vietnamese language looks fine. This also give you auto rotate for the browser as well.
Thanks all!
zip file is not valid...
can someone explain to me what the unicode fonts do for us? thanks...

It will let you read/view websites with foreign characters. If you don't need then just use the original jk v1.41.
Well I have been having issues with hebrew fonts... is it necessary to use a unicode rc30 mod in order to get the fonts to work correctly? perhaps that explains why my formatting is all weird with the new fonts... either way the above mentioned update does not work...

I doubt it. I've read here that even if you install a font that supports arabic, letters are shown as not connected in a word. From what I understand, cupcake update 1.5 should support arabic, however this was not mentioned in the roadmap but was mentioned in articles discussing the leaked cupcake images.

Use apktool to extract string.xml in every apps, create a project on crowdin.net, upload string.xml to your project, ask friends for translate!

This is not the right way.
CM is open source, so you should make changes to the source from which CM is built and submit them for review to be eventually merged.
See http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Howto:_Gerrit
Btw., I thought that base of Persian locale is already included in CM7.1.

That's the best way, but im not similar with linux/ubuntu so i prefer my way, but never mind, CM7 already has Vietnamese language!

I found the Persian Language in CM 7.1 (It wasn't there in CM 7!!!) and It's not bad, but it's incomplete. The numbers should be changed and some texts need translation.
I'm wondering if only the text direction and position in settings could be set as right-to-left. Is it possible?

Hi everyone! First I want to download source, like it's described here. But first problem is that when I type command
Code:
repo sync
it starts downloading CyanogenMod for all devices and that takes a lot of time. How can I download CyanogenMod source code for Milestone only? The next question is, when I complete the translation, where can I send the source code?
this is my first tutorial, i hope i can explain everything good enough
today i will tell you, how you can add more languages to samsung keyboard.
and how you can port swype to every rom.
needed files:
in folder /system/app from the latest official firmware
AxT9IME.apk (& AxT9IME.odex*)
in folder /system/etc/permissions from the latest official firmware
touchwiz.xml
in folder /system/lib from the latest official firmware
libdhwr.so
libXt9core.so
only if you want to port swype, these files:
in folder /system/app from the latest official firmware
Swype.apk (& Swype.odex*)
in folder /system/lib from the latest official firmware
libSwypeCore.so
----------
now let's start:
1. replace/add all needed files in your rom
2. you can find the languages you want to add to samsung keyboard in the folder /system/t9db
you will need 3 different files for one language.
for example:
to add german language in your rom, you need these 3 files:
phonepad_de.kdb
qwerty_de.kdb
Samsung_400_DEusUN_xt9.ldb
add the language you want to use to /system/t9db in your rom
3. there is a need to add all languages (acronyms) you can find in your new /system/t9db
to others.xml ( /system/csc )
for example:
the code in others.xml for english (en), german (de), french (fr), italian (it)
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<CustomerData>
<SettingsData>
<AudibleTouchTones>off</AudibleTouchTones>
<AudibleSelection>off</AudibleSelection>
<HapticFeedback>0</HapticFeedback>
</SettingsData>
<SamsungKeypad>
<inputlist>[COLOR="DarkBlue"][B]en(UK);en(US);de;fr;it;[/B][/COLOR]</inputlist>
</SamsungKeypad>
</CustomerData>
open /system/CSCFiles.txt
remove all lines with /system/T9DB/*
your cscfiles.txt should look similar like this:
Code:
/system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
/system/csc/contents.db
/system/csc/others.xml
/system/csc/feature.xml
/system/csc/sales_code.dat
/system/csc/customer.xml
/system/SW_Configuration.xml
/system/app/Swype.apk
/system/CSCFiles.txt
---------
thats all.
don't forget to set permissions.. clear dalvik and cache, reboot and write in your favorite language
nice work will try .

maybe i will add a how to for adding languages to swype, but everybody can download the latest beta of swype on the website with much more included languages.
Dear texten.
I really did a deep study on this and i already done the things you mentiond.
However I have 2 problems.
1- the slide to change input langueges doesnt work.
2- arabic letters are not configured properly. It may due to font

1 - Yes I mean the space bar,,
2- Roms that support Arabic languages are very rare we have only 2.3 and old 2.5 gingerbread from Samsung. havent received any updates since nov 2011
I really tried to port arabic languages from 2.5 to European Rom such us KQB. Took those files you mentioned + the whole csc folder + t9db + patched framework with araboc patch, but I failed

ok i need all files , i have mentioned in post#1 - with the correct folder structure
edit: when i have more time, i will try this with cm9
well, i tried to port samsung keyboard to cm7.
there are much more changes needed as i thought.
so, i decided to change this tutorial.
maybe i will make a new thread only for "how to port samsung keyboard".
I've tried to port Samsung keyboard from 2.3 to CM9, it worked, but without xt9. Only QWERTY. On 3x4 layout I was able to type only numbers and symbols. When I've entered users' dictionary, it gave me FC. Logcat said language error. Don't have txt file at the moment.

Hate the keyboards which need full internet access, be aware that they may steal your passwords.
So to port swype is to just take those two files mentioned above and put it in any rom right? and will it work on cm9/cm10?
