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 ?
anyone ???

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 ?

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.
Hi friends...
I downloaded Miui 1.8.5 with Multilanguage last day. But i cant setup with clockwork. Give me error. I need true Custom room with multilanguage. Please help me.
( I can setup Miui Default 1.8.5 but i must setup with multi language) (Turkish)
Use the oxygen. Miui only support Chinese and english by default. And when want you ask a question, use main topic.

As someone above pointed out: >>>> This is DEVELOPMENT section not Q&A/General!!!! <<<<
You may make your rom - just unzip rom package and language pack then merge "app" and "framework" folders in package placed in "system" folder. After that make zip of ROM package and reflash it.

Hello.
I tried the latest english MIUI ROM for Defy (2.4.20) and I really liked it. The problem is that my girlfriend does't know a word of english and the latest version has not been translated to her native language, french.
The last version that MIUI France translated was 2.3.30. I know there aren't many differences between 2.4.20 and 2.3.30. However, 2.4.20 is the very last MIUI ROM for Defy, so I think it's a shame they don't want to translate it. Besides, if there are so few differences between these versions, it should not be so hard to update the string files.
Basically, what I want to do at the moment, is to take the translated string files from 2.3.30 and put them into 2.4.20. If some strings are missing I may try to update them later on.
If I understood correctly, I need to transfer the string files of every app from the french ROM to the english one with apktool, but I can't find a way to extract the files from the miui ROMs (which is strange since they are zip files). My best guess is that I'm missing a step.
So my question is the following: is there a way do to it from a windows computer and what is it?
Quick google'ing gave me this:
http://www.miui-au.com/add-ons/apktool/
Shouldn't be so hard to find on the net.
Maybe you should try morelocale 2 from the playstore
I had need latest deodexed rom with macedonian language support. I need it to be deodexed to be able to apply some mods. And also need the mk support because i am from Macedonia and want my phone to be in macedonian language.
Just deodex your own stock rom from your country to get the language support you want
Search for various guides on how to deodex but I just extract the system into a tar file & load into kitchen to deodex
You will find guides for Android kitchen & deodexing if you search

Again you can do this with android kitchen but you make a cwm zip - basically you are making the beginning of a custom rom but just deodexing stock rom and then creating a cwm flashable zip
Much better to learn and do it yourself - I doubt anyone here will have to time to bother doing it all for you
Follow method two of this guide to create a working folder for kitchen once you have it installed
