[Q] Add more languagens to android system

I'm from brazil and my model is verizon xt862(unlocked).
I had a problem with de low signal and I solved thanks to this forum.
I would to like to know if it's possible to add more languages to the Android system. It only supports english and spanish.

TTry morelocale 2. It wont change everything but at least your apps will be in your language if supported

is there any way to overwrite the system to a system with more language options?

hello, its only one way to do this right
decompile by using a apktool framework-res.apk and settings.apk
for settings.apk
\Settings\res\values\strings.xml and translate this file manually
and for framework-res.apk
\framework-res\res\values\strings.xml and translate this file manually
and after that compile both apk and put it to your mobile

[Q] [ROM][REPACK] KU5900 ICS for P970 translating

in order to translate the rom, i never did something like that but i read about it and as far as i know it i need to
decompile apk files (settings.apk,etc)
edit (the xml files and that)
and recompile.
but i just can´t do it when i decompile it give me less files that the expected.
i read and is because is a stock rom and need to be deodexed, i dont know how to do it.
someone can help-me?
is missing any step?

Firstly you should deodex your rom I suggest this way;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208320
Than decompile all apks one by one and edit all lines inside value/strings.xml(as far as I remember the file was you should edit strings.xml)
than recompile your apk.
But I dont know if your language contain different characters with english language, than you maybe edit rom's encode decode characters but this is not easy and I dont know how to.
If you want to add extra language options in settings menu I suggest you should keep refer 4x deodexed or L7 deodexed roms.You can find that rom files with search in google like this "optimus 4x hd system dump deodexed" or "optimus L7 system dump deodexed".

Hi guys
I want to add items in settings.apk . I have searched everywhere and the only things I found are guides to add these

1. Download advanced apktool by @BDFreak
2. Install frameworks from your device (framework-res.apk+SemcUXPGeneric.apk)
3. Decompile settings.apk
4. Using notepad++
5. Add to logos to drawble folders with others size
6. Res/Xml/settings_headers.xml open with notepad++ and add to items for here.

Port array.xml, plurals.xml... into ResOverloader module

Hello friends, ResOverloader module developer has commented that need help to implement the use of arrays.xml , plurals.xml, etc... Currently the module only accepts the strings.xml file.
There is a module that is based on ResOverloader and allows all this!, however, also includes the Russian translation of the system, because it is thought to translate from Chinese to Russian MIUI ROM's .
I tried the DV_Translate1.1_SK module in a stock rom, and it worked perfectly translating an application using arrays.xml and strings.xml modified.
Therefore , I ask for the help of an advanced developer to help us port these characteristics for ResOverloader module or mod DV_Translate, but not including the Russian translation . This would be helpful for all the community, for the easy translation of applications that are not in the native language without decompile it and break signature validations.
How to setup:
ResOverloader:
Extract strings.xml from your target apk using apktool.
Translate strings.xml to your language.
Now create "resOverloader" folder in sdcard.
Find your app full qualified name in applications under settings and create a folder with app full name. (eg. com.baidu.netdisk)
Now copy the translated strings.xml to app folder inside resOverloader.
Restart your phone and it is done.

DV_Translate:
Extract strings.xml, arrays.xml, etc... from your target apk using apktool.
Translate strings.xml, arrays.xml, etc..., to your language.
Now create "dv_translate" folder in sdcard.
Find your app full qualified name in applications under settings and create a folder with app full name. (eg. com.baidu.netdisk)
Now copy the translated strings.xml, arrays.xml, etc..., to app folder inside dv_translate.
Restart your phone and it is done.

Thanks everyone. I´m not developer

Thanks mrbodk for finding workarounds to extend resOverloader module. However, I'm not in development anymore and now hardly find time to read PM and forum posts. I request senior Devs and new starters to get hands on and put applicable items together for enhanced resOverloader module.
