Hello all, i just wanted to ask how to translate an apk. I was practicing with some apps to translate some english parts in my MIUI rom, edited strings and arrays in values-es (spanish is what i want), but when i recompiled, the .APK was smaller, and when i tried to install, it said App Not Installed. I tried with APKTool and APKManager, same results. Please help!
I think you should get the source code and create another language xml file to make it work and rebuild the project. In case there is no lang file nowhere in the source, you may not translate it.

Question goes back to How to port another language?
Use apktool to decompile all /system/app/*.apk.
There will be folders values-ru(or br.. or other language,that already on phone)
You should take values folder(that en language) and copy it to values-ru(where ru - is your language).
Then you should decompile /system/framework/framework-res.apk
and translate like other's apk.
btw, don't forget to add values-ru-RU folder(for russian lang, for yours- use your short tag letters), that will add your language to settings, and you will may to choise it.
Good luck.
Thanks! I will give it a try.
I want to translate CyanogenMOD rom to my language. I decompiled framework-res.apk using APKTool and edited string.xml (/values) but after changing some text/words (e.g) "Yes" to my language. I compiled that. And putted the framework-res.apk again on my phone. All I can see the words which I changed is box, box letters. So can someone help me ?
I have read all the threads on the topic of decompiling APK file and recompiling it, and so far I am successful in decompiling and recompiling it.And now I want to make some changes in smali files like change package name and remove some features, But I don't know smali language, so Is there a way that I can convert smali files into Android JAVA project which I can import into Eclipse or I must have to learn smali language to achieve what I want.
Thanks in Advance

It can be done with smali also ....
Only thing is you need to be tricky ....[emoji6]
Am not writing the procedure here coz changing package name doesn't sounds good for me [emoji1] I always respect efforts of original developers (some kangers always do change name and remove some features and claim the apk as theirs in generally am saying don't get hurted )
So I just want to confirm that changing package name and removing some features is possible via smali editing no need to convert the apk to java source .......
