You cook ROMS by building the basic componenet up. 3 folders are vital:
1) ROM
2) SYS
3) OEM
The ROM/SYS are the basic OS of the phone that is needed.
The OEM are essentailly the various packages or programs that you want the custom ROM to contain.
The thread by jerpelea contains all that you need for your kitchen to start cooking.
Given that you intend to create a custom ROM that is in portugese, I would recommend using the Blackstone OEM packages. Eack program appears to have 2 folders, a basic program, and then a language for that program. It is certainly easier than editing and translating the package to portugese.

If I understand you correctly, you are taking files from the framework of one device and putting them into the framework of a different device?
If that's the case, you can't do that. Apks (even framework apks) rely heavily on things like resource ids, which very greatly from device to device, or from rom to rom.
Unfortunately Im nit sure how to do what you are seeking to do, just offering some advice on your apk compiling problem. Also, if I've completely misunderstood what you were doing, I apologize and disregard what I said.
In any case, post the compiling error your getting.

Depends where you want to see them. They are compiled into the frameworks and settings.apk etc. Easiest thing is if you don't have teh languages you need on your ROM, use another ROM.
Look at picture. I want to add Turkish language. These are are very beautiful looking Roms, better than all the Roms i flashed.
As said above and files for language or not just in one place in the system .
These are are very beautiful looking Roms>>> flash one of those roms then .
Or find a Turkish forum may be even better .
