Android Localization?

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

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:

[Q] Develope new Language for CM7 (Persian)

Hi
I want to develop a new language (Persian - something like Arabic with additional characters) for Milestone CM7 (Both UI and keyboard). Is there anybody who can help me to know where and how I should start?

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!
Googling for more information about apktool and crowdin.net
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?
Is there a way to add Persian calendar to the system? Is the calendar app opensource? Is is possible to add a new module to kernel?????

LOL, it's the wrong way
kabaldan is right
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?

tried to follow the guide but when I put the new file to the rom partially translated menu style has changed is just like that of a tablet (with two columns). so I thought I tried to decompile the apk and recompile again without making any changes and show the same problem ... I see that when I rebuild the apk format change .. is this normal?
how can I fix?

On SecSettings.apk

An official with the secsettings.apk is not very good! Can use other instead? For example, CM10 secsettings.apk complete function, can use?
Also. There must be a Chinese.
You mean you don't like the stock Settings app and would like to use another one? Then as far as I know that's impossible... there are a few apps which can control only some of the phone's function - but not entirely!
And you can't use CM's Settings.apk for replacing SecSettings.apk.. there will be framework issues and the app will most likely force close...
And what is it that you hate about the settings app? And Chinese language can be set from "languages and input" menu from settings...

if the Pure Vanilla ROM does not have Chinese Language, then you will have to request the creator of Vanilla ROM

No, you can't use CM10 system stuff on stock Touchwiz firmware. It will just not work. I already told you that.

But as far as I know, Pure Vanilla ROM is based on stock DXAMD1 firmware... if he just wants to use the app, then I think he can..

if you want Pure Vanilla's SecSettings in your current firmware then just replace it with that SecSettings.apk using any Root Browser (in system > app folder).. and the Settings app will be in whatever language you selected when you first installed your firmware...

Now I'm getting doubtful....
- CM Settings app will not work with Stock JB firmwares - because their frameworks are not the same...
- Pure Vanilla ROM's Settings app should work because it is built using the DXAMD1 Stock JB firmware... so both should be having the same frameworks

i am downloading pure vanilla to see the framework wheen i install it i will tell you
i install pure vanilla and i have one thing to say ITS AWESOME the settings is awesome and i think that you can use in stock rom the only thing that is different is the update i mean to update the firmware XD but i think that this update apk is for vanilla but the others thinks is the same but do a backup before replace secsettings and if something go wrong restore the backup :laugh:
