[Q] Is there a way to translate a ROM on windows? - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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:

Shouldn't be so hard to find on the net.

Maybe you should try morelocale 2 from the playstore

if i want to translate into italian this rom which files have i to change?
I don´t know the answer to your question...
I have the same problem just a different language portuguese...
You can try morelocale 2 but I think that only change keyboard dictionary and some language apps, don´t change the UI in your case.
But be patient Nathan says that he will work on that, he will try to port the language files of his legend port rom (villain 4.2) to this rom...
Maybe in the next release this problem are solved...

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] Wanna translate MiUI V 1.9.9 to better Swedish in the language pack.

Okay, well, I know it's a MiUI-ROM-thread already, but i can't acess it tho, so I do need to do this, since I can't write in the original thread, but well, I wonder, can someone post the XML-files for this so I can translate it into better Swedish, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257127 (The V 1.9.9 version)
Thanks in advance, since I can't duo to lack of knowledge, I turn the .APK into .ZIP, but then I can't navigate to the certain .XML-files.

[Q] Is there any option to put language from one stock rom to other?

Hello there. I used stock GB JW4 rom for europe, but it seems that it got some bugs. Anyways there are newer versions of stock GB roms, but I wanna know can i somehow put Serbian language from JW4 to some other such as JW6 or other stock, since JW4 is only one with Serbian language in it? Thanks for answer.
Yes.
Decompile most system/app apks and framework-res.apk + tw-framework.apk in source.
Pick serbian translation res xml files.
Decompile identical apks in target.
Copy translated res xml.
Compile.
... a tiny bit easier to work with de-odexed apks
The next natural question would be:
Why Android - built on Linux platform, didn't implement methods to handle multilang. used waaaay back in Linux and Windows (vista/7)?
Thanks a lot for answer, and im happy that I can get my language. But i dont really understand what you said. Is there any easier way to explain? From where i should decomile etc? Sorry for troubles, but I really dont understand
