Chefs & devs, a translator for all your l10n needs :) - Off-topic

Hello, beautiful community !
I'm an 82-born (1982, that is... ) guy who has traveled a lot and who managed to cram 10 foreign languages into his head, of which 6-7 fluently.
I've been leeching and lurking around this message board for a few weeks and managed to do amazing stuff with my Desire GSM and Desire HD. I'm no hacker, but I can understand and follow a "downgrade - root - flash ROM" tutorial without bricking a phone. Apart from that, I'm a complete stranger to the world of Linux. I tried to install it once and almost FUBAR'd the computer...
This being said, I've discovered amazing tweaks for my DHD (new improved ROMs by LeeDroid or MDJ, their kernels as well as LordClockan's, Seo's Sense 3 tweaks, MrGarak's tweaked MIUI, just to name a few, etc) thanks to you so now I'd like to give something back.
I'm fluent in English, French, Czech, Slovak, Romanian, not so bad at Spanish and German and understand Italian and Polish. Plus, I work as a freelance translator and am already seasoned in the mobiles/hi-tech field.
Thus, if you wish to have text strings, ROMs, MODs, or whatnot translated... don't hesitate !

Some might say that putting Linux on your 'puter, by definition, Fubars it!
Welcome to the forums!

you should try https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide (at your own risk)

thanks brilldoctor ; I don't plan on fiddling with Linux anytime soon but in case I will, I'll have a look !

PP is an R&D player from China.

PP is my friend. He has modified many WM5 rom from English to Chinese such as AKU0,3.2,3.3,3.5. Many friends and I have been enjoying in his hard work.
He is very famous in bbs.pdafans.com(The biggest PDA fans BBS in China). If you can speak in Chinese, we welcome you to visit it.
PP is our hero. Thanks, PP!

I have used many chinese wm5 roms, but I chose PP's ROM at last, for it 's the most stable chinese ROM.
Thanks for PP's hard and excellent work.
But PP's rom need pay money....

he is not a hero, 007 is.
Helmi + Xplode are our heroes (And a few others too!)
Anyone tried a PP ROM in comparison to one of Xplode's or Helmi's?
Maybe yes Maybe no.
Let me tell you.
Because create rom is a very difficult thing. Usually create rom need 1.5GB memory. But PP's notebook is very old. Every create rom and test is too slow. He sale rom is change his computer then create more rom for you. ¥40 RMB for one is only a case. Hope everyone understanding.
Helmi C and Xplode are my Hero !!!
I believe that more than me would be agree too !!!!
Thanks Guys you ROCKS !!!

No, I'm not PP.
this is pointless thread, a little clarification: everyone can make roms, everyone can port roms, everything needed is here on the xda-dev forums, the only thing you have to do is read
p.s. the real guru is mamaich, without hes tools it would be almost impossible to make roms
i am not an expert, i learn new things about WM every single day, i was member almost a year to this forums before publish my first rom (which in my opinion was a dizaster) but i improve every day, i read i test and learn

Thanks Helmi_c.
I only hope all bodys know there are many BA funs in China. Maybe they seldom speak English, so it is difficult to communicate with you and other players. I hope they can go here and talk about BA and I aspire you can help our junior player.
You are a hero too, and I admire you.
BIZARRE

This has got the be the most BIZARRE post I have encountered lately.
PP is not very much a R&D player at all. Kodous to his efforts in putting together ROMs that natively support Chinese. But thats about it:
-All his work is based on findings of XDA-Developers - mamaich, helmi_c, xplode et al.
-AFAIK, he doesnt share any of his findings here or on PDAFANS - the place he posts most of his ROMs.
-He sells his rom for a profit. No matter how the money is used, be it upgrading his laptop or paying his tuition, this practice is not appreciated and in fact ILLEGAL! And he doesnt support his users to upgrade to an new AKU for free.
I am really amazed how this post finds its way here on XDA-Developers where everybody is so contributing and helpful. Meanwhile, I would applause for PP if he can come back to the scene with a more open and contributing mindset.
Happy new year to u all.
PS: There are other players in China who make exellent ROMs based on latest AKU builds, distribute them freely and support them. Those threads are often very active and some have more than 1,000 replies! I believe they should love to share their findings here if they can speak some english as they did on some Chinese forums.

HTC TyTN P4550 has GPS?

I need to know this I´m confuse!
Isn't it easier to just to go to HTC's site and look it up?
Yes it has it, but it's not the TyTn, it's the TyTn II ( as in 2 ), or tilt, kaiser etc etc etc. Thanks for doing research before posting.
i agree, even wikipedia.org can tell you about it. although im normally against mods and senior members being rude to noobs that was pretty much a piss take. it lepafrogged over being classed as a faux pas and just dive straight into being a stupid question
btw any other question check out www.DUH!!!!!.com
Anda a Cagar, Care Picha!!!!
Please! Refrain from that language!
who watch what language i cant read spanish. and if you mean the word p 1 55 above then ive seen worse without mods correcting
wow, p4550, i have not heard it been referred to that in the LONGEST time, i completely forgot about that name!
who watch what language i cant read spanish. and if you mean the word p 1 55 above then ive seen worse without mods correcting

if we all say one language!

Just a joke!
if we all say one language,we can commuacation each other freely.
I like the site XDA,but my english is poor,I cannt understand other clearly and also counldn't let them understand me!
I understood you. The way I look at it is this. Whatever your native language, it would be a second language for me. I'll bet you US$50 that you speak, (write) better English better than I speak, (write), your native language. So, it's no big deal. Even among native English speakers, the meaning often gets lost behind the words. On the Internet, it is difficult to communicate subitle meanings, as inflections in voice and body language are not available.
I know over 10 languages (with Google Translate Lol..!) It's seriously a great tool.

Do we need another WWE cook?

as i started to cook my Xperia Xion for the X1, my main concern was speed and stability.
now when looking back on my pm and thread i get the feeling its one of the fastest around and the most stable.
so now i have a question to all in this forum!
DO YOU NEED ANOTHER COOK FOR X1 IN WWE?
more cookers -> more options
everyone has his own preferences, more cookers con be fit more preferences by each users... it's a matter of choice. And after all, 10 heads works better then 1 for solving issue, debugging, support ecc
There can't be enough cookers for the Xperia. More cookers is better support and faster bug fixes and solutions
Can they be better dan Itje?
You must be getting pretty conceited to think that all anyone needs is your ROM's and that no one else needs to cook WWE ROM's since you have the "best".
Or maybe you are after more money - no other WWE Cookers means more donations to you for your ROM's
I appologize for being blunt and by no means am I saying that any of these above statements are true of you; however, posting this question to the forum may lead people to think these of you. Most people like having variety and options so the more people cooking ROM's or developing applications etc... the better.
Edit: taking into consideration recent events where many cooks felt that one cook was being greedy etc... caused a lot of problems on this forum
just to clear things up NOW!
THE QUESTION RAISED IS NOT THAT MY ROMS ARE THE BEST..
the thing is that from beginning i ONLY COOKED IN SWEDISH, but after alot of pm, asking me to cook in WWE, i started to think about it, and as I ANSWERD ALL MY PM, -TRY ITJES; JACKS OR ANYONE ELSES, personaly i prefer itjes and jacks as i think there are the best cookers. that was my answer to all pm, and even in my threds, see for yourself.
so back t reason why i started this thred, i think there enough Roms that are very very good, and they are WWE, but after being asked several times, i had to see what people on this forum wants. do we need moore roms or not, are there so many alredy that its hard to choose?
and one last thing - i dont think my roms are suppirior. that is up to the user, everyone experiance different, or else everyone would eat the same thing, drive the same brand of car etc...
hope this is clear to everyone.
More cooks = More developement and more options.
The question is stupid IMO, would not matter if we would have hundred cooks here getting few more would still not have a downside.
I would say "why not?" since no rom can fit everybody. More rom = more choice = more option.
By no mean I say we are not sharing (in fact, Itje is very generous to offer helps), I want to see knowledge sharing among cooks since we got less support than HD from SE/HTC and we really have a tougher road to go to get X1 works better. Many goodies from HD (TF3D2, Camera, new dialer, notification system) are still very buggie or not working at all and I wish all X1 cooks could work together (seperate thread instead on their own rom thread maybe) to resolve them.
No more WWE cookers pleas... But private cookers (cooking on demand) are welcome

I didn't know this about you - cooking in Swedish only - I believe that if you chose to cook in WWE that many people would be grateful for the contributions you make - as most people are saying, the more choices people have the better. I now understand better why you are asking this question - do you want to take the time to cook another WWE Rom when there are already some available - will people use your work - is it worth your time to cook a WWE ROM - I believe that people will likely try your ROM's from the responses in this thread (except for one).
Much respect to you for considering sharing your work and talent in multiple languages.
Hi Smaberg - how about cooking the new 6.5 rom for the xperia? there has been a later build discovered ????69 - i think its all over the xda site - Da-g seems to be the main cooker on this even itje has been playing with it, but no one seems to be cooking it for xperia yet ? i'm a bit bored of touch flo & would like to sample the next official os.
here's hoping you'll take this challenge.
why not? Keep it coming
I think it is easy for us users, not cooks to get carried away with all the progress and development that gets made here. Where functions and usability that could only be dreamt about are fulfilled regularly. And obviously we get eager for more.
However if you look at the sacrifices that cooks lite dutty, itje, smaberg etc make, posting ROMs before going to work in the morning and at 3am in the morning, taking time away from family etc. Then perhaps the essence of smabergs question might be is the benefit to sacrifice ratio worth it. Obviously more cooks means quicker better work but to what personal sacrifice.
Just my personal thoughts
WWE in THE language. All fixes, all programs are made first on WWE. So wwe software will have quickest fix, better support, brand new upgrades, better compatibility (think even about directories names... "program files/programmi/programme and so on) etc... also xda forum is a wwe forum and all people on xda should have at least a basic knowledge of english language, more then sufficient for a phone
imho cooking in other languages is a waste of time
need more cooks in general, xperia is a powerful device but we seriously lack action here i wish i could code/cook but my concentration is bad lol... i visited the blackstone forum and my god, loads of stuff released for eg manila on 6.5. which i found quite pretty.
The more the merrier!
I'd definitely welcome more WWE Chiefs for the X1 - those who are here are doing a great job, but more can be done with more chiefs working on issues together, and making roms that suit different people.
Looking forward to trying your WWE roms Smaberg ;-)
yes we always need more cooked WWE rom (and also for any other language)
more rom = more FUN!!!!!
I dont even own xperia
just like jack said..More rom = more choice = more option

最近出来个中文的rom支持manila横屏,谁搞的啊?

anyone willing to make me a simple custom ROM?

Hi,
I am wanting a very simple custom rom but I am not sure how to "cook" one.
I've read the tutorials, etc.. but I'm still very confused.
I will try to get a hang of it, so I can make a truly customied Rom, but in a mean while can someone be kind enough to make me a basic custom ROM?
All I need/want is a UK ROM (or any english based rom) with Korean fonts, Korean Keyboard, Korean Thumb keyboard, Powerdic (All theses are pre-included in SKTELCOM ROM).
Korean Thumb Keyboard is like the one in HTC devices where you can type letters with onscreen number pad (I believe it's called "SKY II" in the Korean ROM)
Basically, I need an English ROM with full Korean Support. (powerdic is a dictionary program included in Korean ROM)
I could install softwares to my X1 with English ROM to get a similar result, and I tried but the result wasn't perfect - I was not able to read at some conditions and not able to write sometimes as well)
Can anyone PLEASE be kind enough to make one for me?
I hope it won't take that long..
Thanks for looking.
no one will do it for free. you should consider giving some incentives, otherwise everyones' gonna ignore you

for this you have my kitchen
just use it
br
If I get a chance later I will
But I can't promise anything, it'll depend on how my time pans out.
You should try to cook it yourself? Maybe instead, ask for like a "How To Cook Basic Rom" guide or something. Just like being able to take someones rom and maybe tweak it a bit to your own liking? Less hassle for them and puts more control into your own hands.

I've actually read some tutorials and guides but could not fully understand.
So, I went one to try something, and I wasn't going anywhere.
First of all, I didn't know what folders had what, and did not configure how to mix components.

Thanks a lot!
I'll try to figure something out in a mean while..
Hope I can find some who did something similar already..
Most audience in here are English user. For this kind of language specific request, normally you should look for forums in yr language community. I am not sure about Korean, but I know there's a lot of those forums for Chinese and Russian (in fact, many of them are really hard-core hacker).
The reason I need help from ENG speaking people is that I live in Canada and I use my phone in this country.
Sadly, Korea uses a bit different structure for mobile phones and there are a few things that work differently - for example, SMS feature is a lot different.
Since I am a Korean-Canadian, I use Korean language as well.
Only thing I need is Korean language input/output, and possibly ABC tabs in contact list converted in Korean Language - I think I can find a way for this by modifying some registries.
If someone can at least make Packages from SKTELCOM ROM, then I guess I can finish the rest.
I tried extracting and got stuck in making them into packages..
Plus, I don't know where the language related files are usually located from the extracted stuff..

Well I've just cooked you one, in fact two, but it's not booting. I'll try again tomorrow.
If you use evrius ultilanguage GUI rom kitchen, it'll extract the rom from nbh and make it into packages, it's all pretty easy to do. Then do the same with the UK (or NA) one and combine, but it's not happened with me tonight.
Language files are all those in 412 folders.
WOW, Thanks so much for trying that for me.
I will also try to make something out of it with the info you gave me.
Thanks

hi fards, just curious if you might have been successful in the cooked rom dahanist was looking for. I'm in the same situation, except I live in korea and cant really take advantage of the phone with a full korean OS, so i want to install an English OS but keep all the korean compatibility for sms, input, etc. Figured this might do the trick. Any luck yet?
By the way, there's a seperate thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=500446) where several people in my position are willing to pay money for a good cooked English ROM with korean language support, how's that for incentive?
got it
If anyone is still looking for this i found the answer
