Hi,
I am using Slim Rom but sadly dev does not support additional languages. I wanted to know the ways to add languages myself hopefully without too much coding. Can anyone advise me on this issue? Million Thanks!!!

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.

Hi could someone tell me, Is it possible to make Polish rom to HTC Touch2? without InterWrite? So I after uploading the ROM, the Polish language? I am concerned about the original Stock rom. Maybe someone could be so kind and do me like that? Thanks in advance
i think, you cant make stock rom, you must port it. So find build with your national language and import into kitchen and change build. Thats all
your national code is 0415 PLK Polish Polska. Read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544445
and so nothing that I do not understand too much (somewhere I'd rather take that rom with the Polish language, or that someone I cooked some. I have no clue about cooking, do not understand this
You need to read a lot to do this. Kitchens are pretty simple now.
On that note, thread closed.
Hi Guys,
I am trying to enable all the locales in a custom ROM, but I cannot find anywhere on how to do this. I have searched high and low, and although there are a lot of references to libwebcore.so & libskia.so they seem to be in reference to adding Arabic languages, all I want to do is give access to the languages that are already present.
If MoreLocale2 can gain access there must be an easy way to do it, but it seems to be an industry secret as I can't find the answer anywhere, can anyone help?

I'm looking for a list of language codes available in CyanogenMod but you could try changing the language codes in ~/android/system/vendor/cyanogen/vendorsetup.sh then building ... although I have no idea if this is right. I just don't see a lot of hardcoded language stuff
Did that work???

you will need to edit all of the framework and add the right values
Hi folks, hopefully this is the right forum area to submit this question, if not then apologies in advance.
I'm looking for a developer to assist with adding a Croatian language pack to an MTK6577 CPU based handset called the RugGear RG700.
We have the latest Android build files but need a dev to add in the language pack then supply ready to flash onto a bunch of handsets.
If you can help then we can discuss fee's for the job, hopefully it's not too complex.
If any additional information is required then please PM me and i'll do my best to answer.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi to all! I need some help in porting a custom ROM for my device, a Lenovo A328. It has an MT6582 chipset. I already downloaded a ported CyanogenMod ROM for my device, and I saw some imperfections.
My phone doesn't have an auto brightness sensor, but the ROM has one. Can anyone teach me how to eliminate that feature?
And, the settings app for this ROM has many unnecessary features that my phone doesn't have, like capacitive button backlight (my phone's buttons have no backlight) and so on. Do I have to decompile the settings app or do I have to modify something else?
Please help me I really want to create a near-perfect ROM for my device since all the other ROMs didn't fit my taste and had many imperfections like the ones stated above. The forum that created that ROM is Russian, and I have already asked for help from them in the past, and they didn't understand me since they know no English. I do have ported a few ROMs already, but I would only classify the as dirty ports, since I just edited the necessary files like the build.prop and copied off the rest.
Please help me, I'm a fast learner and I'm willing to learn.
Thanks in advance
