[Q] (Q) How to add localization to Android 2.2.2. - Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants

Is there any way how to add Czech UI localization ? I have 2 ROMs:
1. Official one with Czech localization (but I can not us it, because not working 3G)
2. Another one with missing Czech localization.
Both of them are Android 2.2.2.
Is there any simple way, how to transfer localization?

Sorry to say, there is really no simple way to do that. localisation is often app dependant, which would mean you have to decompile, change and recompile multiple apk's (framework, launcher, settings, etc.)

[Q] Question about language support in CM7

Hi,
I'm using CM7.1 on a SGS I9000, and when selecting Hebrew, all the menus appear in this language. I'm not sure if it's a feature of CM7, or someone enabled it just for SGS I9000 and other selected devices.
Before installing the CM7 for this device (I5500), I want to ask if it supports the Hebrew language (I mean full menu display in this language, not just RTL and font support)
Thank you

sure it's a language available in CM7, how couldn't it be that way?
A rom / firmware is what we can call a OS (it's an easy way to call it, 'cause it's not really an OS) and thus it has inside languages! You can even check with an archive manager (apk files could be opened with it) and open apk like LatinIME or Setting, for example, and you'll find the supported languages..

LatinIME all supported languages

Hello, I have compiled a LatinIME for ICS B010SP3
This is all supported languages
The LatinIME.zip unpack and then the LatinIME.apk
copy with root support in system / app
reboot, and then make the settings for the languages
Have fun
regards

You are a great great man (or woman).
Does anyone know - how to unlock spell checking? There are only 5 languages in options, but this apk has much more languages.

is there a way you can make something like this for the phone.apk problem? Like taking files from the international rom and converting them to the tmobile springboard?
that way i can turn my my tmobile s7-303u springboard stock rooted ICS 4.0.3 into a working phone without loosing 4g and still having the tmobile OTA updated stock rom which doesn't give problems like the int'l rom does!?

[Q] How to change specific application language?

Good morning,
I want to localize some application, that the apps will use another language than the system default. I am a reverser, I found few tools like apktool but I think I am going too far. Is there any easy way to change specific application languages?
For example: I want the google navigation to speak in another language than my system default (Englsh). but to keep my system default (English).
Its not really matter but:
Android Version: 4.2.2 (JB)
I am not posting this question in any specific forum because it is general question for all the android devices

Adding languages to Android

Hello,
I am an Irish language enthusiast, and I would like to have the option to use Android in Irish.
Older Samsung phones had this ability, possibly others.
It's clear that Google is not going to add this to stock Android in the near future, so I'd like to do it myself!
How would I go about adding Irish as a language to Android?
I would be able to do the translation myself, I understand that this probably requires making a custom ROM
(I have no experience with making custom ROMs)
Could anyone explain the process of doing this to me, as I'd really love to try it out !
Thanks (I hope!)
Search "Language Enabler" on Play Store (Root Required)

Currently, you can "unhide" languages with root on a Sumsung device even without switching ROMs (root is still required). Search "Language Enabler" on Play Store.

You can also add languages by editing the APK .... and by creating a folder in apk/Res/values-id ..... where id is the language to add ... for example for english is vaules-en .... and add the file within string.xml with the translated strings ...

[Q] Moto E: Language translations

Hi all,
I'm setting up Moto E for my mom, and I am attempting to set my native language (Croatian) which doesn't seem to be officially supported (through Settings / Language & Input). So I installed MoreLocale 2 which can enable Croatian language for most of the UI, but unfortunately the Settings, Phone, People and Messages still remained in English. Any thoughts of how to translate these as well? These are kind of essential apps she'll need to use the phone and it'd be great if I could have those translated too. Interestingly she's also using an android tablet running 4.1 (Hisense Sero 7) and that one has everything properly translated without the need of any external app.
Any suggestions are much appreciated!
P.S. The phone was bought in the US (Global version, single sim) and is currently rooted if that's helpful (I looked at custom ROMs but most seem to have mobile data bugged so that'd create another problem).
same problem with Czech language
all custom roms for moto e until now have big essential issue - mobile data ... so I wish resolve this issue in reasonable time or add remained language from original kitkat source to stock moto e rom or advise what files and where I can translate for example from english to czech langugae ...

The only way is to decompile the apps and add languages, I tried several times but i think I am doing something wrong.
