[DEV] HowTo add languages to AOSP ROMs?

Answer on POST #3 by Enomther
Hi,
I'm the author of LeoFroYo, an android 2.2 ROM.
I'm currently trying to integrate read and write arabic support into it and would like to include additional languages into my ROM.
Note: this topic is not about arabic support, but about additional languages.
I know Enomther's TheOfficial has more locales than the stock AOSP.
So I opened this thread to:
Get help to include more languages into the Android system
Make a guide on HowTo do so
So here are my questions:
But how to I include new languages into the system?
Do I only add strings.xml into frameworks_base?
What files do I need?
Simple XML or do I need to madify Makefiles?
How to compile with new languages?
I want those added languages to be listed into the SetupWizard
I think it's Enomther who told me this requiered to change things in vendor/.
But don't know quite what to do nor how.
Thanks everyone to help this community
PS: I will update this first post when a solution/steps will be found so it will be a guide for devs
Am I the only one who's concerned about languages support?
maybe all are satistied with the stock languages
btw, I also want to know how

Yea that was me ...
1) Do not modify and/or add strings.xml to framework
2) Do not modify other xml or any Makefiles
3) Like any other compilation, type "make"
So here's the answer to your real question ...
What I was referring to previously is the need to create a device/htc/passion/(vendor-custom).mk file. To include more languages. (This is what I do)
However..........
Here's another method that may be clearer for you to implement the first go around ...
Apply this patch here ...
Code:
http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_build/commit/a5c3cb5e5bb243234815159bf63c95ad7327a7ca
Then ... make sure your buildspec.mk includes this line ...
Code:
TARGET_PRODUCT:=full_passion
That's it.

[Q] Decompiling the "classes.dex" file for BIDI support

Hi All,
I'm a noob ROM developer and I want to create a new Rom based on
one of the great Roms here on this forum and add it support for RTL languages so it can support correct display of numbers when displaying an RTL lang.
As I understand I need to somehow decompile the "classes.dex" so I can edit the code in it and compile it again.
How can I achieve this? Maybe I can the original source code of it so I don't need to decompile?
I'm experienced with c++ and Java Android apps development but don't have a clue from where to start roms development.
Appreciated your help,
Thanks,
Oren
