[Q] Access additional supported languages? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Apologies if this thread is not in the correct place. I have a wifi motorola xoom and would like to change the interface language to russian. The only available choices on the rom are English, French and Spanish.
I can add the russian keyboard and voice support no problem but would like the full ui to be russian. I downloaded the android SDK with Eclipse and the Motorola Xoom emulator and checked the language setting on the emulator and the russian language UI works fine on the emulator.
I extracted the CustomLocale.apk file from the SDK system.img and installed it which helped, as now the applications that support russian are displaying properly.
Is there another .apk or file I can push to the Xoom to unlock that russian ui? Any assistance that can be offered would be greatly appreciated, I am new to Android and am trying to stumble through to a solution.

Obviously no one was interested in helping with this. I figured out how to decode and extract the values folders with apktool and was able to recompile most of the apk with the needed russian language values, but am now stuck trying to recompile the framework-res.apk. It refuses to build due to not defined errors in the public.xml file.
There were also mulitple substitution errors in the strings.xml and plurals.xml files that I was able to resolve by changing the strings
%d of %d to %1$d of %2$d
does anyone know the correct positional format for the numeric_date_template string? %s/%s/%s
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Privet brat.Any luck with this?
I remember my first Android phone Samsung Behold2 with android 1.6.I could choose russian ui on it.But now im on Samsung Epic Touch(gs2) and cant change ui.
There is gotta be a way.

How to pull/push JIME & KIME through adb

I wanted to know if anybody knows what commands to use to add Japanese and Korean IME. Just looking through the android developer site, these can be added by just pulling/pushing through adb from SDK. I found some info on how, but the tutorial refers to using a number value in which I dont know what they are for Jap and Korean? I'm running Amon_Ra's 1.6.1 ROM.
Thanks

IMHO, you can use Jap IME and Korean IME on the market.
Is there any special reason you are trying to?
[email protected]: The market doesn't have a real keyboard IME for Jap, I've seen some for Korean, but havent tried yet? I've used Liliane, which is a copy and paste, but I'm looking for a real J_IME. Once I get Jap figured out, then I can proceed to Korean and Chinese IME's. I'm in the middle of switching to CM's latest 4.2.X.X, it always seems easier to find mods with his ROM's.

Thanks this issue has been resolved, did your method awhile back.

[Q] [REQ] Droid Sans

Has anyone packaged it into an .apk for us to install? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Or is there another way to get it back onto my phone after flashing a ROM with a custom font?

The above font is slightly modified (modified as in added few Indian language scripts. Found it as an attachment to a thread requesting Indic language support. Might help.
The font is named "Droid Sans Fallback".

And i just drop the .ttf in /system/fonts ?
Yes - you will need root access for that though. Also, I suggest you make a copy of the file already in there.
And of course, people say we need a reboot - pre WIndows ME style.
I just renamed the one already in there to DroidSansFalback.ttf.bak and then pasted the one you linked to. Did a reboot, but nothing's changed.
This is on Clean Fusion V3, if it matters.

[APP] Stock/System 2.3.5 Keyboard App That supports Greek/Eng Keyboard + Dictionary

Hello all,
I recently became a U8800 owner and I decided to flash it with the latest MIUI ROM, only to find out that their stock Android keyboard does not yet support text prediction in Greek or Greek keyboard at all. Since I didn't want to install a third-party Greek IME from the market, I decided to inject a Greek dictionary found in a previous CM Release plus a Greek keyboard supporting existing LatinIME.apk (from htc devs on a stock 2.3.5 keyboard apk).
It should work on all devices/ROMs, but you can try and share your results.
I also removed all other dictionaries exept english / greek to make it light.
How to install:
1. Navigate to /system/app using Root Explorer and copy/rename your existing LatinIME.apk to a backup folder in your SD card (just to be sure, should things go wrong).
2. Use Root Explorer to mount /system/app as R/W and then paste the new LatinIME.apk inside this folder. Change the file's permissions to rw-r--r-- after pasting.
3. Reboot your device and go to Settings > Language & Keyboard > Android Keyboard > Input Languages. Under Greek, it should now say "Dictionary available".

It wokrs correctly on HD2 with Xperia v42 ROM
Thanks
Nice to hear that it works ok.
It works also 100% on my Ideos x5
please reup to somewhere else! will test it on x10 2.3.4 with android keyboard running donut hd rom
Hi ! It's a good news, since I'm seeking how to do the same for the French language since a ROM i flashed my Wildfire S with doesn't support spell check or prediction for it.
Yet, I'm fairly new to the modding scene (my previous phone was a an LG oldie...) and don't know how all of this works, so could you please elaborate ?
Do you mean I should try and retrieve HTC_IME.apk (I'm guessing it's the equivalent of LATIN_IME.apk, but for HTC...) from the stock 2.3.5 ROM and replace the current crappy one with it ? Are the dictionaries contained in the apk ? If not, where will I find the French dictionary ?
Thanks for reading me, I hope you can help.
I would gladly click the "thank you" button for your OP, but I can't seem to see it...
So here goes the old-fashioned way : Thanks !

Yeah I stumbled upon this same folder en.us in usr/ and it's purely useless (in regard of our problem) as far as I can tell...
But I found a way to get it back and working. It's basically the same procedure, but for HTC. I just posted it, I hope it'll help others as well :

Help me members, trying to make it work for whole day s iii s3 ROM

hello friends,
My problem - I want everything in spanish in this i747m s3, this phone comes with only french, english and other character language,
I tried ALL ROOT APPS changing system locale, like morelocale, language enabler etc etc etc but none of them is changing system language to spanish
I then decided to install slimrom but it required TWRP and TWRP is not mounting my device storage.
Now I don't have any other option to modify stock ROM and add spanish language to that ROM and flash it.
Please tell me how to do it?
I have linux Mint distribution installed on this computer,
I found some link here, which one to follow, please add something if those links are missing some steps to add language in STOCK ROM.

[Completed] Where can I get help to translate an APK?

I'm not sure which sub forum to post this in so could someone help me out?
I know there is a sub forum where people can translate strings for you, but I'm not after that, I'm after how to find the correct files to translate.
I know how to decompile APKs via apktool, but I can't seem to find the correct .xml file to edit and this is where I need help. For some background, I'm trying to translate a certain part of the Mi Home application that I use to control my Xiaomi Mi Robot vacuum cleaner. You have to set your local region to mainland China for the application to find the vacuum cleaner and even though you can set your language to English, the part of the app that controls the cleaner is in Chinese still.
This is what I've tried:
Decompiling the app
Took a Chinese string from the vacuum control part of the app, and searched for this string using grep - with the hope of it returning the .xml file this string appears in
However, nothing is returned - the grep command works as it finds other strings as a test and returns the file locations
Is there any reason why I can't find which file to edit?
Sorry , but this is not a Q&A forum. It is more to guide NEW users to the best place on the site for their problem .
Please read the OPENING THREAD and the Second one , too.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
