[Q] Translating a Nexus 5's rom - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i want to translate Mahdi ROM to my language i've already contacted the dev and he said it's ok when you finish send me the translations
some of the rom is already translated because it's based CM, but the features the dev has added aren't translated.
My question is how do I translate them? (most of the things that aren't translated are in the Settings app)

In the source code, go to packages/apps/settings/res/
You will see all "values-" folders. In here are all the languages. Find the language you want and have a look in the xml files. Each string will have an id. You'll get the idea..

[Q] Miui with SWAT patch. Chinese to English

Hello I am running the Miui 2.1.20 and the SWAT patch. I have the english pack installed but there are still some things in chinese. How can I switch the whole phone to english so I know what it says?
Thank you,
It depends if that app has English translations or not. Some apps like AntiSpam and Monitor has only Chinese strings. But you can try replacing some of them (e.g. AntiSpam and Settings) with the ones from miuiandroid.com Make sure you get the apk from the same MIUI release.
Dunno why Mark didn't translate them in the original ROM

New language in a custom ROM (CyanogenMod 9 ALPHA)?

Hy guys! Firstly, I'd like to excuse myself if this question seems dumb, but I'm not a developer, just a curious!
I have been watching the development of CyanogenMod 9 ALPHA to my phone, a Samsung i8150 (Wonder), and now the Arco's job is almost perfect (thank you, Arco!).
I'm brazilian, and althought I don't write well in English, I can understad it easily, and use to translate softwares to Brazilian Portuguese; some are freeware that I like, others I translate in exchange of a license. But each translation I make, I make thinking in the people that don't use that software because don't understand the English.
And as Samsung won't release ICS to my phone and I'll use Arco's ROM, I thought I if could translate the ROM language files or use another metod to add the PT-BR language to CyanogenMod 9 by Arco and share it in some brazilian foruns. I searched the forum, but I didn't found nothing about it; the nearest I get was this topic, that explains wich files should be used (if I'm right...).
Could somebody give me some tips, or tell where I could found more informations?
Thanks in advance, and please excuse some error!

Do you mean change the language used in the OS? If so, a factory reset takes one back to a point where one sets up a device from the get-go including location, language, name, etc. Have not heard of anyone able to use two languages on one device at the same time though.
Be careful though. If you are on ICS, I would drop back to HC first to lessen the chance of the super brickbug borking the tab.

A factory reset would allow you to start over and choose a language. But only one language. There are translation apps for specific items (emails, documents, etc) but when it comes to the operating system...you only get one language.

Don't believe you can do that. One language at a time.

Stock ROM with full language support? Probably not. AT&T based their phones for the USA, so options for language may stretch to Spanish, but that's about it. My current phone from T-Mo has only 6 languages to choose from, so I assume the older AT&T offering is not that different. You may be able to hack this by modifying the strings.xml files, and doing a lot of translating.
Custom on the other hand, at least recently, does support Polish (checked on my April build of CarbonROM). So if your nightly of whichever ROM you choose does not have it, maybe the developer can run a new nightly (assuming the ROM you choose is Kitkat-based).
Hope this helps.
