[Q]need help to change the contacts right column letters from english to greek

hi i have installed wm6.5 but i want to change the contacts right column letters (i am not talking about the keyboard) from english to greek because my contacts are in greek is there any way to achieve that thanks in advance for your answers

i think the best u can do is installing iContact is far superior to the manager that u r using right now and has a greek translation.

thanks for your answer but i would prefer doing it without adding any programs any other ideas?

AFAIK, its impossible without installing anything because there is no setting to change that. i might be wrong though...

[A]Greek in stockwells ideos x5 MIUI ROM

My greek friend i have a twick for you to have greek in your rom the idea came when i was rerading the full post of stockwell and understood the first line of his post "Based on the Desire-Z MIUI.us release available.So i understood that desire z miui rom are compatible with ours. i went to MIUI's official forum and downloaded the greek pack for desire z. I copied all files except build.prop to the same folders .and after i edited my old build.prop in line that says"ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US" into ro.product.locale.language=el
ro.product.locale.region=GR" after that i reboot into recovery and flashed my dalvick-cash and everythink was done greek exsept miui search bar
i hope i was understood and someone make this into upgradable zip
ps.1compass and fm radio apk's doesnt work so you dont have to copie them but you can give them a try if you are developers.
ps2 thank you finn for your great work in transelation!!!!!!
ps3 i cannot post the the links sorry but it is easy google search

ok downloaded miuiGR_desirez_1.10.28
extracted app and framework to system.. changed the devices build.prop to el and GR ...
wiped dalvick cache..
and nothing it does not seems to work for me :/
maybe you forgot to mention a step for us ?

does it have greek on setting/system/language?if not try to install morelocales2 from market but that was not needed to me
ps i copied with android commander on the fly not from recovery
ps2 i also wiped cache not factory but i thought it was erelevant

yes there is greek in language settings...and is checked but no greek language in any menus.. also i get weird Force close after these copies.. i dont know maybe someting was not copied correctly
i did the copy with Root explorer.. will try the app you suggested and report back
thanks for the info

I would suggest copying the apps/framework from the Greek release into the original u8800 miui.us update.zip instead of trying to copy it on the fly as it causes issues (normally you'll lose your accounts and contacts).
You'll need to modify framework-res.apk for wifi and usb tethering to work though.

thank you stockwell for your precious information and your rom i will try your suggest on next rom update and if i manage it i will upload a greek rom if you dont have a problem ofcourse.

you do exactly the same steps i folowed for greek but in build.prop you change US to IT and en to it
all the steps made on the fly(this as stockwell metioned will erace your contacts,but i asume you you have them gmailed back up)
for the update language pack you have to follow stockwells way and change the same things in his rom. but i cannot give you now more info because it is my first device and i didnt give it a try yet after the new release maybe i try it.

[TUTORIAL] Translate a ROM using Github

Hi guys this is my first tutorial here!
I'm not a developer but i want to contribute for the community, so some time ago i started translation of my favourite rom, the Mahdi ROM. That was about March 2014. As of now I've started a new project: translations for Chroma ROM (June 2015)
You need only one thing: the rom has to be open source on github.
So, let's start.
First, go to the rom sources on github and open the apk you want to translate. The most important directories are three:
Settings in /android_packages_apps_Settings
SystemUI in /android_frameworks_base/packages/systemUI
Core in /android_frameworks_base/core
1) to find file(s) to translate you have to go in the directory and then in the folder res.
2) now, it's full of folders but you only need two of them. open in two tabs of your browser values and values-xx (xx are two letters that determinate your language, e.g. "it" for italian and "fr" for french).
3) in values you have to find the file "name-of-the-rom-strings.xml". this is the file you'll translate. now in values-xx, open the file "name-of-the-rom-strings.xml" and click on edit. probably in values-xx folder you won't find the file "name-of-the-rom-strings.xml", if so, click on the "+" near to the name of the directory and create a new file called like the previous one. remember the extension (.xml)
4) now, copy all strings from "name-of-the-rom-strings.xml" in values and paste in the file you were editing in values-xx. now you are ready to translate the rom, read tips down here.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What if the folder values-xx doesn't exist?
No problem. Click on the "+" icon to create a file, and write values-xx/***. The slash create a new folder. Et voilà!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
READ:
1) you only have to translate what's between ><
2) before every ' , add a slash like this \, so if you want to write don't, write don\'t
3) DO NOT translate strings which say translatable=false, delete those strings
4) do not add >< or "" or "string". just change what's between ><. Good luck!

I do have a question.
I'm tring to translate every single English word to my language (Dutch)
But where do I find the words that are still in English?
In the picture I uploaded are 2 examples.
You see 'UI Settings' and 'Performance' still in English.
Can you help me?

How do u check if some translations have already been pushed without being validated?
A guy just told me that he already sent a request for a part of my translations but I didn't see them before starting to translate. Everything was in English on the "rom_strings.xml" file into values-fr folder.

actually, i don't know :c

Here is the answer:
1. From the main page of a package eg "Mahdi-Rom/android_packages_apps_Settings" click on "Pull requests" on the right (if any)
2. Select a commit
3. Select "Files changed" tab
4. We can see the original lines in red and the modifications in green

Op updated for when there isn't values-xx folder in the package ?

Hi,
I want to start translating the English stuff to Dutch.
And I noticed there is not a mahdi_strings.xml in Dutch yet.
So I have to add that right?
But there is so much to translate from mahdi_strings.xml.
A lot of English words are probably already translated.
How do I figure that out?

About android_frameworks_base there's only one request for the moment so you can translate the GERMAN part. Edit the file then enter your modifications and send your request.

The difference is that one has a manager different from the other, the base was the first to go out and then come and the S version
In next week will come out the V3 with other improvements, thanks to all.

Ok you have to apologize but use an automatic translator of google and then some things can take an interpretation errata.Ora when I have time I set up the profile and to be honest I was not prepared at all, with UNPO patience will put everything in place. (except the google translator.)

Add Multilanguage Support to a Stock Rom?

Hello Folkz,
i'm already reading in this community for months. Now i want to contribute.
I address my concern mainly to @STEVE_MARS and his Mates from TeamSpain!
How do you add Multilanguage Support to your Custom Roms. Is it via a App Like Morelocale2 or is there any other tool which helps easily translate the strings?
Please reply soon i want to contribute something
Thx in advance.

Hi,
You must insert strings in framework wih Jbart or similar tool, better under Linux. Decompile apk, insert and compile again. And same with systemUI and settings. And after that, check every menu if works properly.

There is multilanguage "packages", but in Setting options you must translate manually every menu. This is the reason that we have a OTA for spanish advanced translation.
