[Q] How to Localize Android for Topaz?

I want to create an application that let user select between diffreent languages (English, Hebrew, Arabic, ...) and when he accept the language, phone (reset, or do something to) change the entire language of the system.
It should be able to change the resource file and calendar.
It would be be nice if user be able to change some resources for hisself, and replace it in resource file.
I'd never work with android applications before, so please explain in detail if it's possible.
And is it possible to do this generally for all android phones? or I have to do it only for topaz?
any idea to do this will appriciated.
Thank you in advance

Help with adding new language to swype

Hello,
I need help from someone who knows how to add a new language to Swype.
I have 2 swype.apk with the languages i want but i just don't know how can i combine them.
I'm interested in a swype version that has 3 languages: English UK, Romanian (Romana) and Vietnamese (Tieng Viet)
I attach here those 2 apks contains those languages.
I think the best way is to move vietnamese files from Swype with Vietnamese and English.apk into Swype with Romanian and others.apk.
But I don't know what to move and to make it work!

I don't know how to add a language, but I know how to replace a language.
Pick one language you don't need (english US maybe), and move Vietnamese files over them.
(of course you need apktool to extract / repack an apk and don't forget to sign)
I did it to add French Canada to my swype keyboard. Works fine.

Hello, that is a good solution. But what files do i have to replace?
I need only the dictionary where it contains all the words, the keyboard i would like it to be the one for English US.

I tried to move the Romanian.zdb.le over EnglishUS but it didnt worked.
I used APK Manager to decompile Swype.apk and then replace the zbd.le file, compile it back and sign.
But when i try to use it on the phone, it says there is a problem with the database. And i can use that language. All the other works fine.

you need to replace all three language files
at least that worked for me.

hello, I am trying to get swype keyboard in Vietnamese language for the samsung galaxy s3(Rogers) phone. It is for my girlfriend in Vietnam. Please post instructions for this. Please help me. If possible. Anyone in Toronto? I can pay you for this. Thanks.

[TRANSLATE] Crius

Hello.
I would appreciate it if I could get some help with translating my app Crius as many people are asking for it.
It requires 2 files to be translated.
1. First File.
2. Second File.
Some of the strings are same but there are minute changes, so it would not be proper to copy from 1 file to another. Kindly translate them separately.
You can upload them on any site or as an attachment or send it to me via PM. Please name the files as they are (strings1.xml and strings2.xml) as they would help me to identify them properly. Also mention the language code to which you are translating it to.
It will be really helpful to me and you'll get all the credits you deserve for it.

I started the translation of strings1.xml for brazilian portuguese (pt-BR), for now it is partially translated. If anyone want to continue, feel free!
The partial translation is here: download.

Still valid?
Maybe it would be good if you could update the current progress resp. what still needs tackling...
Is german already done?
