Hi,
I trying to locate where language files are inside an apk.
The software is free to use in some countries in Europe and is in ukrainian or russian language and i am looking to translate it into English.
I see the following in the apk and don't know where language files will be:
Assets
COM
lib
meta-inf
res
androidmanifest.xml
classes.dex
resources.arse
Thanks in advance
Anyone???

I guess language-dependent strings would be in "res" but there will be some strings that hardcoded and cannot be translated by anyone except developer of this application. Anyway only the developer should provide english resources if he thinks of internationality.

Can anyone tell me the location of the language files for the X10? I would like to translate them to my language since it is not available as a display language option.
Sent from my rooted X10i using XDA App
as far as i know they are in system/lib folder ofcourse you need to be rooted and i guess the most important files is :
libsika.so
libsikagal.so
libwebcore.so
but if your language doesnt has connected letters you can use more locale2 in the market it has allmost all the languages in the world
Thank you for the answer. my phone is rooted and how can I edit those files? I dont think that locale2 can help me because I want to translate the interface. By the way my language doesnt have connected letters.

Hi, I had always found it difficult to have Indian fonts rendered on WM 6.1/6.5 and now, on Android phones. After searching high and low for almost three years, i've compiled a set of fonts for implementing into Android devices (Gingerbread and below only) so as to be able to render HIndi/Indic fonts.
I suppose, the same fonts can work on Windows Mobile 6/6.5 (tested & found working), WP 7/7.5, Meego or even WebOS 3.5, provided, you have admin/root privileges to add these font files to the system directory of your phone.
I have seen that Indic Fonts are natively availale on ICS ROMs and this procedure may not be necessary for ICS devices, unless you wish to render some regional font not being displayed in ICS.
Note:
Works on Rooted Android devices only.
Procedure:
1. Download the fonts from the link given below. Store the zip file on device / Computer.
Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?q1c8u3hxfuxu9cn
Dropbox Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ked0l2xv2wotqdu/fonts.zip
2. Make a NANDroid back up to revert back in case you made any errors. Install Fontchanger from Android Market / Google Playstore onto your device. Forum XDA support thread for Fontchanger is given in credits below. You may also use any other font replacing app of your choice (freefontfrenzy etc)
3. Unzip font files on PC/Device and copy the font files (*.ttf) to micro Sd Card in a new folder ".Fontchanger".
4. Run Fontchanger. Allow root access in SU. Select Advanced Tab. Accept the warning to dismiss it, in case running fontchanger for the first time.
5. Scroll down to entry DroidSansFallback.ttf. Select the entry. You will now be asked for the font to replace the stock DroidSansFallback.ttf with. Scroll to select Akshar.ttf or DroidIndia.ttf or Arial Unicode MS.ttf.
6. Apply changes. Reboot phone. Now your phone can display almost all Indic and Devnagari Fonts.
You may also use the Basic/Simple method to directly select Akshar.ttf/DroidIndia.ttf or Arial Unicode MS.ttf to replace the default font on your device (in the Basic Tab of the Fontchanger App). In this case your default font will change to Aria Unicode / Arial narrow (DroidIndia.ttf) and may affect the current display.
In case you are trying to replace the DroidSansFallback.ttf with akshar.ttf or DroidIndia.ttf, please note that you will lose Oriental (Japanese. Korean & Chinese) fonts after reboot. In case you wish to retain Oriental fonts, then use Arial Unicode MS.ttf (not tested). In case you wish to directly push these fonts into the /system/fonts directory, please be sure to chmod and change permissions for the fonts you are copying.
Fonts available:
Akshar.ttf
Devnagari fonts (Hindi, Marathi and Nepali).
Tamil fonts
Telugu fonts
Malayalam fonts
Kannada fonts
DroidIndia.ttf
Same as akshar.ttf above plus:
Bengali Fonts
Oriya Fonts
Gujarati fonts
Punjabi fonts
Assamese fonts
Arial Unicode MS.ttf
Same as DroidIndia.ttf above plus:
Chinese fonts
Japanese fonts
Thanks To
martino2k6 for his wonderful app Fontchanger. Support thread for the app is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874658

thank you very much looking for this since bought that GB phone.
Downloaded more than 80 times, yet only one has commented, c'mon guys, say it if it's bad or good. I can take criticism.
awesome work.
is this working on cyanogen 7.2..??
Yes, any rooted android version below 4.0 (ics). Runs fine on my phone with cyanogenmod 7.2 RC.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA
if i do it manually. do i hv to change the name akshar.ttf to DroidSansFallback.ttf or jus move it to /system/fonts?
i am already using a droidsansfallback.ttf which supports regional languages like tamil,hindi. but the font rendering is not perfect. not sure if this the same one or different
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
Rename to droidsansfallback.ttf. Check file sizes in phone explorer. Alternatively, copy droidsansfallback.ttf from /system/fonts to your micro SD card using any root explorer and then connect to PC as drive. Open file in win or Linux PC and compare with my file.

Wow! 200 + downloads and yet, only a few have commented!
A simpler way. Download fantoosh apk from market. It works well.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA
In which market is this fantastic 'fantoosh' apk? It's definitely not in the Google playstore. And if it is from some unknown source, it may well contain some malware code...
Beware! Follow the forum rules. Do not post or promote malware or unknown apps. And don't post spam either. Afaik, there are no other methods to enable Indian scripts.

A thought. You could also use ES File Explorer's App Manager to uninstall it. There is also an option to create a backup of the app, in Es File Explorer's settings, before deleting it.
You don't need to delete it tho. Put apk on sdcard. Make sure you have enabled the ability to install software from unknown sources. Then with any file manager, browse to the folder on your sdcard where you put this latinIME.apk and select it to install. It will overwrite the old one.
Does int work also with p690 O. Net?

Have you ever heard of a file explorer? If yes, download a root explorer, mount system as r/w and delete the LatinIME apk from system/apps and replace it with the new apk. Don't forget to change permissions to rw-r-r

I'm not at my PC at the moment but if I'm not mistaken there is not a Hindi dictionary in the full LatinIME.apk . I cannot make the language dictionaries. I will check tho.
As for making one yourself, its pretty easy. Download the mini English LatinIME.apk to your PC. Rename it by adding .zip extension. Download or copy from a rom the full LatinIME.apk. Also rename by adding .zip extension. Use some kind of zip manager to open the mini English LatinIME. Browse to /res/raw/. Now do the same for the full LatinIME. find your language dict in the full LatinIME, copy it. Go to the mini English version and paste what you copied to the /res/raw folder. Make sure that your dict is just stored, not compressed. Close the zip app. Rename the edited LatinIME.apk.zip back to LatinIME.apk. Now its ready to install on your device.
