Android Language files ?

Hi all,
I'm trying to compile Android with full Hebrew support (inc. menus)
I need the language files so I can translate them, or to get from somewhere the HEB files and push them in to the system.
Can someone help me ?

Waiting ... request from the kind

I'm not sure what did you mean by "language files". Before the expert -- capychimp, answer your question, you might want to try the followings:
1. go grab a copy of Rogers Magic stock 2.1 rom with root.
2. go grab a copy of RCMagic v2.0
3. use kitchen to create a working directory based on stock 2.1 rom
4. deodex all apk files
5. extract RCMagic v2.0
6. compare any apk file in /system/app/ or /system/framework/ (one from kitchen's working directory and another from RCMagic v2.0)
7. let's assume that A.apk from kitchen is renamed as stock-A.apk and A.apk from RCMagic is rename as RC-A.apk
8. use apktool to decode both apk files
9. after decoding, check out stock-A/res/values* and RC-A/res/values*. As far as I know, values/* are for English and, take zh_TW (Traditional Chinese) as an example, values-zh-rTW/* are for Traditional Chinese.
So, I guess you can create a values-XXXX for your language code and put whatever needed into values-XXXX/*

to make it easier, you have 84 apks you need to decode to make a full sense rom multilanguage

Google has some good resources on this topic. I can't find them right now but I am finding some interesting stuff.
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/localization.html
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/web/localizing-android-apps-draft

well thats the apks thats the same for all roms, but how to activate them on aosp no idea, cause in sense you do it in CID/default.xml

I have an Hebrew apk, I unpacked it using apktool.
I got the Hebrew xml file, so I think I'm set, but to translate 84 apk's to make a full Hebrew Android, WOW that's alot !!!
I've attached a flashable ZIP with apk's in Hebrew (I didn't do it).
Is this the only whey to translate Android, or is there a EZer way to do it ?
p.s. thanks for the reply and help...

i am working on a script so you can just unpack a rom, and by menu select to make it ml
well i see you have some of it, but still alot to go
and you would need the rtl support in framework.jar also

In Froyo with a little help from a guide I get RTL in Internet and SMS.
So I think I have full RTL...
Tell me which files do I need to translate and we will work together on this...

O.K, I have the .xml files that I need to translate.
I know there is a program for translating file.po (value on one side and translation on the other side)
But is there a program like that for file.xml ?

Arabic/Persian Support on Éclair Stock Rom

Hello
First of all sorry for my bad English!
it's a big problem that Android devices cannot show arabic/persian letters!
but developers has fixed this problems on some devices! (Legend/Nexus One/Xperia X10 and ...) and Samsung Devices support this languages officaily!
Now, What's the fix for Wildfire!?
i, my self has tried some ways, i know it is depended on two things:
1. Font (totally Fixed, No Problem!)
2. lip (here is my problem!)
i have copied good fonts to Rom files (make/edit a zip) and then flash my cooked rom with my favorite font, now my device can show arabic/perisan letters BUT separately!
i did the same way (copy file to rom zip and then flash!) with lib files, letters was good but Gallery and Browser and some other apps did'n work (Force Close!)
there is 3 lib file that they are related to this problem:
libskia.so
libskiagl.so
libwebcore.so
Important: In CM rom everything is OK! Persian/Arabic Rom are showing true!
My Another Problem: Because of this problem i cannot test some different lib files to rich to good result: When i want to replace lib file in Root Explorer, i see an error: "not enough space" so i forced to copy my lib files to a zip file (rom) and flash it to test! it's so CRAZY! What's the solution?!
Point: there is a Official Arabic HTC Rom for Legend and i know it has cooked by developers for Hero, is here anyone to see them and try to cook one rom for Wildfire!?

thanks so much and
keep your nice work!

I did find a Arabic rom from a Arabic forum which it supports Persian letters so well and has English menus and a fantastic bilingual (English/Persian) keyboard, now I'm using that!

Could you please paste here the link to download that rom (arabic/persian for wildfire) ? I'm not iranian so that I could not read parsi.

CM
But the browser in CM doesn't support arabic
the letters appears not connected!

Java Util class for Farsi/Arabic letters for Android
I have created a Util class that reshapes the arabic,persian, farsi, dari letters to correct glyphs. Find more at:
ahmad-iv.blogspot
Edit:
I cannot post a link right now...

Its easier to flash to CM7 or use Arabic Eclair rom. There is also custom roms that supports Parsi/Arabic languages.

[Q] Translate MIUI ROM

Hi,
I'm using the official MIUI ROM from miui-dev.com Since this ROM is only available in Chinese and English, I was trying to translate it into Dutch. There already is a MIUI ROM which is multilanguage (the NDT MIUI ROM). Is it possible to take the Dutch language files from that ROM and implement it in the official MIUI ROM, or create a flashable language pack from it?
(I hope this is the right place to ask this!)

There are multilang packs available, with links in one of the old miui sd build's threads. But the site linked to is in German (I think), and I've not been able to download anything from it.
Should you find it, and be able to download the files, could you please up them to a free filehosting site so I can get 'em too?
I am using the build where the d/l link is, and almost everything is in Chinese...

Could you provide a link of the thread you're talking about? Will look into it, and upload the files you need.

Theres a multi-upload link in the Jaws MIUI 1812... sd build thread, I just saw it and downloaded. Haven't applied it to my AD SD build yet. It was the 1st miui build in sd development forum a few mins ago, but I can't drop a link from the tapatapk app tho, sorry. I'm away from home so no computer copy n paste action right now lol.

Hi there,
Have you tried asking around at the MIUI forum @ miuiandroid.com for a dutch translation? I downloaded the latest multilang rom for the HD2 with a small fix from one of the devs from there. It indeed is in English although for me it took day or two to get used to. Definitely good enough for now
Besides some minor bugs and an average battery life (Which from the start isn't the best feature of the HD2) it remains an very graphically impressive UI.

Live Wallpapers missing help :D

Hello all together, I use a rom with the name HAL kitakat base on the leak kitkat version... the developer has deleted the live wallpaper manager... is there a way to install it back?

HAL information on Theresident's thread does state it's slimmed down and features are not included.
Find the live wallpaper system files and try installing them maybe?
