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?????

Try to extract the strings from Calendar.apk and translate them.Then recompile the apk and push it back to phone

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?

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:

Hi
I'm tired of waiting for MIUI & CM7 and i freaking love Valhalla Final.
I want to make it completely localized.
I will work on Hebrew localization but i will share my knowledge with others who wish to translate it to other languages.
Can someone guide me how i can translate the system menus so it will all be localized?
I will do the work..

OK, got some progress.
After some googling i understood i need to decompile APK and did what the XDA APPS and MODS section - "How to decompile an APK" thread suggested.
First, I took an already translated ROM I have of i9000 (to save the translation)
so I defined the framework-res and twframework-res of that ROM and decompiled the
framework-res, so I now have framework-res project with some relevant XMLs I can take for SGH-T959V.
My plan is to take all relevant decompiled APK XMLs from the i9000 ROM
save them all aside and merge them with SGH-T959V XMLs once i decompile the T959V ROM APKs...
Question is - what APKs need to be translated in the system ?
Besides framework-res i see Bluetooth, wifi, and tons of unclear APKs.
Does anyone here know or i'll decompile all and save a side.
Also I assume some i9000 already translated system apps probably work on T959V... (probably MyFiles will not work, but Calendar ? Memo?...)

Hi Alon
As i explained in the last post, i'll try to base the translation on already done work.
I just decompiled the framework-res of the latest Hebrew pilotX 6 ROM of SGS i-9000.
If you have spare time, you can look into "how to decompile an APK" in the apps and MODs section of this forum and download that PilotX 6 ROM so we can have the same source. After decompiling all the system apps there, we will put them in a shared server and start decompiling the Valahalla Final to be able to work on the compatible XMLs...
Are you in ? Others ? PM me.
Why not just port that i9k ROM, it'd be a ton less work...?

Hi Tehgyb
Some reasons.
On my opinion, Valhalla Final is as close to perfection as GB will be on this phone.
I already successfully applied RTL and Hebrew support on it.
And I don't want to deal with ROM porting, file system and kernels, this should be simpler if i just take the relevant language xmls (from existing ROMs) and recompile without any core messing.
Don't you think?

I know more or less exactly how to do it. Give a week or two. Tell me what language that you want by giving me a link to any touchwiz GB translated ROM. EG, give me a link to an i9000 GB translated rom.

Hi Airfluip
That's great! Tell you the truth I haven't tried your ROM, I was so happy with Val...
Do you have all Valhalla's features ? Toogles, lockscreens etc. ? What did you change ?
I love Valhalla ROMs since they're always working good with framework-res Hebrew RTL tweak.
If you add Hebrew translation to your ROM that will be gr8 and I will surely test it.
I will appreciate if you also guide us what APKs and what to do, out of interest, wanting to learn and end a project we already started.
Naturally we share with you all sources to save us both time.
Update: we finished mapping all shared applications and existing translations.
Next week we will have some results and possibly leak apks.

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 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?

Hi guy, I think this instructions is only work with old version of Android and newer version maybe different. Any instructions of how to this on Android MM?
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...

- 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
