Hi Everyone
I feel like an idiot asking this question but how can what can I use to read the xml files that are in the apk files? Every time I double click on them and IE opens I get an error. I then downloaded an xml editor and when I tried to open it in there I also got an error.
Right click on the file, click open with and choose notepad to view its raw formating. if you want a cleaner look use word to view the XML file. Be careful not to save it in word though it can garble the file. you will just have to play with it to see what works for you.
IE definitely is not a good way to view and edit XML files.

Use smali and backsmali. If you download this little toolkit from here you should be able to edit them in notepad++. I forgot how to use them but its pretty easy.
Maybe I'm wrong--been so long since I've messed with this stuff

The best way is to use brut.all's apktool(http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/) it does all the difficult work for you.
^ Greatest tool ever.

Woohoo I should tag the link and put it in my sig. That is if I still have room. Lol
XML files are compiled to binary form when app is built. This is why you can't open them.
AFAIK my apktool is only one tool, which decompiles XMLs fully and gives you possibility to compile them back. There is also AXMLPrinter tool, but it doesn't decompile all data and it's used mainly to help with hex editing, cause it can't compile file back.
smali/baksmali doesn't have anything to do with XML files.

Dude I love ur apktool. Did u see the axmlprinter.bat file that dec put in his resources page. It works great with axmlprinter2 file. It takes away all the typing in the cmd and does it for u and shows u the readable file in its own small window. A suggestion...maybe adding that to ur apktool would be a great addon

Yeah, I know, sorry for that.
I just like to explain my point of view very precisely to avoid misunderstanding. And I ain't English speaker, so it takes me some time to describe it. I could do just two things to not waste time on repeating myself: give a link or give a link and place a quotation beneath it ;-) Maybe second option is better

You can also view and edit binary xml's in root explorer, as long as they haven't been hex edited. Skews up the formatting some how.

in fact, no.
I could build a system image for other languages but you would lose all the cool stuff they have done to customize it. I would recommend asking very nicely in the xdandroid 2.2 thread in the Raphael forum.

XDAndroid default is English, if you want to become Chinese or other languages but not in the list, you can install a software called "Morelocale", then you can choose any language supported by Android.

Works perfectly
for better Chinese-fication (in my cause Russian-fication) download More Locale 2 from Market or Web
it is cool
But it's okay to display and input chines characters. I've tested myself.

Hi, i installed the GingedDX on my X8 yesterday, and it does not contain "Google Play" (bad), So i downloaded it by myself.
The problem begins when i open the app... I need to add a google account first.
It asks me - "do you want to add an account now?" but when i click "Yes" it just exits the app and does nothing.
When i try to add an account through the "Account & Sync" setting, the system falls down and rebbot itself.
Please help me, i realy need to download some apps.
Thanks, Tzvi.

I need more help please.
I need to install Hebrew language on my device.
Not ever what i do: installed anysoftkey with it's add-ons, installed morelocal2 and i also defined my keboard to "anysoftkey" and my system language to"morelocal2" it just refuse to show me hebrew...
Wher ever it supposes to show hebrew words it shows " " (empty chars...).
I just cannot see hebrew... not in the internet explorer, not at massages and not at my system.
Please, i can't use it with no hebrew.
If you want to add the language just to the keyboard I can help you, but to add it in the rom...sorry I don't know how,I never needed it, use google for more info
Edit:now that I am thinking about it, for the keyboard you can download one from play store that has the option to download languages...like go keyboard

I've written an application for such translating xml files, you can use it to translate xml file in one click.
Steps:
Select xml file (e.g. Strings.xml)
Select source language (e.g. cn for chinese)
Select target language (e.g. en for english)
Click translate menu item
It may take several minutes depending on source length
A new file with translated text will be created in source location with new keyword in file name.
Optionally, you can exclude words and patterns using regex.
Hope this will help many people on Xda. I'm not registered as developer here, pls some one post it as a thread with credits. Thanks in advance.

Dear these are the translations to leading foreign text. Copy and try it in translate.google.com and see it.
If the process is stuck on certain translation; copy the left hand foreign text (in your case chinese characters) and add it to exclude list.
Hope this answers your question.
