Hello,
Since my Galaxy S is coming very soon, I was wondering if anyone here has successfully added Hebrew/Arabic language so that we can see it in the browser and in SMS.
Any tutorial?
Thanks.
I did with Hebrew fonts and it is working fine. Delete the fonts under /system/fonts and copy the new fonts to that folder. I used root explorer to do this.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
For me
I rooted my SGS then copy tahoma.ttf from windows to /system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf and it read arabic but reversed and it should also read Hebrew
So Hebrew is ok.. no problem.
For Arabic, I read somewhere that its reversed and they are not attached to each other (like space is between each character).. is it right?! Whats the solution to this?
Where can I download those fonts?
there is a full Arabic rom with the phone in UAE this is the proof but with out market we trying to dump that rom or wait until the rom uploaded to

you can dump /system folder that what we need by writing this to adb shell or terminal in your phone (your phone should be rooted and busybox installed)
su
tar -cvf /sdcard/dump.tar /system
you will find dump.tar in you scard (size ~268MB) and you can compress it and upload it to Rapidshare or mediafire or what ever you like
I will make it installable through update.zip or Odin3
Thank you

Good.
here you go hani1980
Even if we manage to install the dump that hes going to do
Will all the interface be in Arabic?
What if I want English as the interface and also want it to display Arabic language on Browser and SMS?

Mumtaz Hani, Great work man, I am downloading it right now !
Can I use JFF CSC file rather than the JG1 with your ROM ?
Hani, the link for downloading the ROM seems to have an Issue!
Indeed amazing work Hani,
I was wondering if you mind sharing the font files only, and if it will work if I install only them without the whole ROM since I already use another one. Will there be problems?
Thanks.
I have JG1 with JFF CSC, I'm going to try to install the update.zip only and see if it works !
I just went to that forum and noticed that there is someone that already asked the same question and Hani told him that he have to use Hex Editor or else it wont work.
Any one knows something about Hex editing that can make a mini guide on how to do it?
Thanks.
Hani amazing
It maybe a good idea to post this in english in xda...what do you think
I rooted my device and i pushed the market but unfortunatly i cant see protected apps anyone able to?

so you deleted the original DroidSansFallback.ttf, renamed the windows tahoma.ttf and copied it instead to /system/fonts/?

Hi guys,
This is a working Hacked version of Swype keyboard Black theme mod. My first contribution. Feel free to use it. You will find this among one of the best applications for android. The keyboard is suitable for HVGA screens. Extract apk from the archive and Install it using application manager or ADB.
The screen shot is attached. Enjoy

Update 27. Sep 2010
Hi Updated the post with 1.60.36.8214 version Wine red mod - made by me. I have removed the languages leaving only English language in order to keep the size as small as possible. The actual screen shots will be posted later. I have attached two pics of the Keyboard layout used. Enjoy
thanks a lot man..
Effort is appreciated but
Code:
they've been posting all over the othe sub-forums about posting swype apks, specifically NOT to do so.
[url="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703033"]LINK AT N1 forums[/url]
Maybe you can post a metamorph instead?
Sorry, I was not aware of that. Thanks for that kenshinta. The best part is I got swype apk from one of these forums at XDA. If it is against the policies of this forum, then I would request Admin or the moderators to delete the post.
Works perfectly on my Spica!
I was not able to install swype previously but now works lika a charm!
Works fine on my i5700. I think Swype currently is the best, and "user friendly" keyboard in android apps arsenal Yesterday HTC_IME - today Swype
Works well on my Spica, but, when I looked on swype forum, it was said that there is Serbian (latin) language, and in this app there's no serbian Any way of adding support for serbian? Tnx man

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.

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

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?
I wanted to have my mobile with the default local Indian language. I want it to be Tamil.
The real problem is that i can't open Tamil web sites. Only boxes are shown. I tried Opera mobile. Even that doesn't have a feature for Tamil font. I want my mobile to be in Tamil completely.
Also, my mobile is unrooted (s-on) and I'm running stock Android 2.3.5.
Suggest me a good way

Check my thread in my signature. If you have rooted your phone, It's the best option....
For Tamil to display in menus, main screens home screen & app dtawer, translation is needed, which ithink, is not available, as yet, so you are forced to accept English interface. However, SMS text, emails and browser text can be displayed if you can replace the droidsansfallback.ttf font file in your /system/font/ directory with the font file akshar.ttf from my thread. But you need to root your phone first.....

As HTC don't support that language, there is no way without rooting your phone
