[Q] Adding Canadian Locale - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I noticed my ROM is missing the English (Canada), en_CA locale. How can I add it back into my custom ROM? I know my stock ROM had it, but I don't know which file the locale is located.
Thanks.
UPDATE: I think I got it!
You have to edit:
\data\properties\..
persist.sys.country
persist.sys.language
OR use CWM file attached! flash and reboot! Hurray! Your locale will automatically be set to "English (Canada)". However, If you change the locale to something else, you won't be able to change it back to English(Canada) without reflashing this file.
Alternative: Use morelocale2 app.
Lang ISO639: en
Country ISO3166: CA
UPDATE 2: To add English (Canada) or another other locale to the settings screen on your ROM, checkout g00ndu's guide. you'll need to add these canadian value XML files to framework-res.apk/res/ though
UPDATE 3: added CWM3 compatible version for GB roms.
UPDATE 4: oops. fixed CWM script. flashes fine now. thanks geokilla.

I would like to know as well.

Me too!

A market app called morelocale2 allows us to add the Canadian locale.
Label: English (Canada)
Lang ISO639: en
Country ISO3166: CA
Still looking for a way to stick a locale in a ROM though.

Just an update. I did it! flash the CWM file in the OP to add English(can)

If you use the zip you provided do you still need to edit those two files on file system?

In framework-res.apk\res\values there are folders for each language. I had to add the en_US folder to get US English into the i9000 ROMs, and I would bet that the same would apply here.

Hey, thanks for the input. On Serendipity, for example, I dont see \values in framework-res.apk\res\ though...
EDIT: nm. found it. thanks!

I got the \res\values-en-rCA\* that I need. But I'm having trouble inserting it with APK Manager into my ROM's frameworks-res.apk.
Anyone help?

So I've been wondering... what does the Locale even do?

It affects default language/spellcheck dictionary settings (ie. en_US "color" vs en_CA "colour"), google apps (ie. maps; voice search will recognize "petrol stations" for en_GB while for canada, its "gas stations"), time/date format (24h vs 12h clock and DD MONTH YEAR vs MONTH DD YEAR). some apps may be locale dependent too-- that's what i know off the top of my head.
It's probably pretty minor since English (Canada) is pretty similar to English (UK) or Eng (US), but still, it's nice to have things right like how the stock ROM was.

Ahh yes, I figured it was something similar to that. Thanks

Added a CWM3 version for GB roms.

The CWM file for Canadian locale doesn't seem to work for me

Still not working... I'm on Apex ROM atm.

[Q] How can I get Romanian language for swype on I9000XXJPM

Hi guys,
Maybe I missed something but after few searches I couldnt find an answer.
Is there any way to get Romanian language prediction in Swype?
Maybe a CSC change or.. install a different version of swype from another ROM..?
I have an idea but not sure about the correct way to follow.
Can someone give me a hint?
Thanks a bunch!
Hope this helps!
It has all languages!
Go to www//4shared//com/get/26YCldWS/Swype_160368214_HVGA.htm
P.S. Sorry moderators for violating rule (To prevent spam to the forums, ALL new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. After approximately eight posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thanks for understanding!) Had to help him
The file is gone. Any update?
Hey Cezar,
If you still need Romanian language support for your Android phone I can give you step-by-step instructions. Let me know.

Can I get the file even if I'm not Cezar? I need the Romanian dictionary. The auto-correct crap to pop Romanian words.
Install new Swype (even on phones with Swype preinstalled)
1. Go to http://beta.swype.com/ and register in order to download the latest beta. (it works just fine)
2. Although they caution that if you had Swype preinstalled this will not work, there is an elegant work around.
a. If this is your case (most Samsung phone do come with Swype preinstalled) you need to have your phone rooted and Titanium backup installed
b. Freeze the original, preinstalled version of Swype with TB and reboot the phone
3. Install the Swype installer you’ve got using the method suggested above and follow the instructions. Once installed, Android sees the new Swype as an update to the original version.
4. Go to Swype settings and download whatever dictionary you wish (including Romanian and many, many others) - this is actually the main (and I should say very important) difference between the stock / after-market versions of Swype - the first comes with only a few pre-installed dictionaries without the ability to expand, while the latter offers a lot more choices and the versatility of downloading/installing the language(s) of choice.
That’s it. It works like a charm and the Romanian dictionary is quite comprehensive – although it takes some practice in using the diacritics (you have to swipe through the “-“ sign for l-au, m-au, etc.)
Thank you very much. I was able to update & to install Romanian. It works pretty nice.

What do all these region specific roms do? Is there any advantage or extra goodies having one rom over another?
Crazy, this is the one for my carrier. Although the phone is not yet released, I think it is coming in April. I have my upgrade coming up this summer sometime and will get this phone to replace my Nexus One if I can root and install a Vanilla gingerbread rom on it like CM. I'm not into sense at all. But if All else fails, I will still get the phone for an upgrade, unlock it, and sell it and continue to use my N1

Hi,
does anyone know if a non-european rom like that from canada should work on a european version of the IS?
Will european languages be missing when you install this or get you in trouble with specific radio settings?
I got a little bug and was looking for a new firmware (when you open the phone application, normally you get to see the latest calls on top of your contacts and you can quickly navigate through the list by T9 search. However the list is completely empty until I press a key and delete it again.. then the list is displayed and I can search through it)
Thank you!
It doesn't include any information about EU APN's and all this material.
The language is inside without any preset except english

[Q] I have e problem with translating MIUI.

Hi Guys,
ive started to translate MIUI to my own language norwegian,
i am using apktool to decode and compile the apk's
creating a new dic called values-no and place my own strings in there.
everything seems fine, i use root explorer to place my apk's in the system/app/ dic reboots my phone and absolutely nothing happends!
(I've even checked on settings -> system -> language & input settings.
i think i must be missing something crucial!
please help, i understand english well and have no problem with it really, but it would be cool to finnish it and make it happend.
I figured that my lang prefix must be wrong, stumbled upon it when i installed ubuntu yesterday.
Going to try 'nb-no' instead of 'no' tonight
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Nobody seems to care, but if someone should care for future referanse the name should be "values-nb"

No one may have responded, but don't take that as a sign that no one cares. Someone, somewhere, will eventually stumble upon this thread looking for an answer to something you already know. I always suggest to post a fix for a question you asked. It'll help someone out eventually.
hehe, yeah thats why i postet it too.
and a tips: if you are working on translating an apk, and your'e not sure wich prefix you should use on values-xx simply decode Vending.apk(Market)(or another apk you know to contain your language) go into \res\ and you will find a values-xx folder with your language.
Hi,
Manage to come across your post... Did you finally make it? I'm also translating miui for my phone, in my language, i tested translating the mms.apk. However i didn't seem to see the changes.
How do you add your language as a separate language in the settings menu? Cause what I'm doing is changing the /values which shows the changes, but what i really want to do is a separate /values-xx so that i can go back and forth to the default and my own language.
Hope you could help. Thanks in advance.
Hi
Norwegian is in the Language pack?

[Q] How to pick language pack from one rom and put into another rom?

Hi guys.
I know our note's latest JB rom has almost languages and locale to choose but not all.
I'm learning Japanese ,so I want to change my note's locale into Japanese so my phone's languages will become Japanese.
but the N7000 rom does't contain Japanese because They has own Japanese version.
,so I've downloaded Japanese note's rom from Samfirmware but I can't extract it.
Can anyone teach me how to pick language pack from Japanese stock rom and put into any custom rom in xda?
More locale doesn't help this
Please teach me or give me some links so I can learn about this.
Thanks to every one.:good:
Adding languages to another Rom is possible (I did in my Custom Rom).
But here is a completely different Rom for a different CPU (in the "Docomo Note").
No chance to extract japanese there and add it to our Roms.
Thank you for your answer.
How about translate it manually? such as we have English UK and US and translate eng uk to Japanese word by word?

Yes you can do that - if you work 8 hours a day the next two years you might have a preview of a translated Rom.
I think this isn't practicable.
And: where are possible users? Why should anyone in Japan buy a N7000 and make a request for Japanese.

You can't "add" them in a simple way. It means a complete rebuild of the Rom (including decompilation of all apk). I made some batches and use some tools to simplify/automate this - but even then I need about 3 days for a complete build of an all-languages-Rom starting from the original JB releases. It's ugly idiotic and stupid work.
And now the important thing for modding: you'll have to build the language-Rom first, then add the mods by yourself. If you add existing mods to such a Rom you loose important parts of language feature because the mods normally change system apks. So for Ultimate or any other Custom Rom "adding languages" is no solution because the wrong order of steps.
But maybe - and that is not a promise - I will rethink my no-mod-policy for the all-languages Rom and try to add some Mods. Starting today I'll have a long weekend to fill without family...

Need working link to Mavrom v4.0 or 4.5 for xt862

Could some one help me out? I've been struggling to find a link for xt862 that works. I'm out of the U.S. until October using GSM but whatever rom I'm using now is really bugging me. Battery goes way too fast, the keyboard and touch keyboard become unresponsive for texts and sometimes the browser, random fcs, heats up occasionally, extremely slow. I tried minimoto while I was in the states but I found I didn't like it very much, does it support GSM networks anyway?
So I'm looking for a Mavrom 4.0 or 4.5 for xt862 if anyone would be kind enough to send something over to me, I'd really appreciate it.
I'm also learning Arabic while I teach korean and would like to be able to txt in both if at all possible. Does mavrom support this? The rom I have right now shows a bunch of boxes -_- Is this restricted by droid 3 in general? Or is there a "big" rom out there that supports both GSM and Arabic?
I used for a while (and translated ) the MAVRom, but since it initially has only English and Spanish, i think that Arabian support is missing, and i think is the same for Korean... anyway, maybe an ICS/JB rom could have it, since those roms have all the languages file... obviously you got all the stuff about non-working camera, but for common phone tasks, it works pretty well!
Here is the link from my translated rom it contains English, Spanish and Italian!
