BTW, I'm using MIUI XJ 1.3.5, trying to get danish language. (In apps, at least..)
(The app more locale2 doesn't help, amlost everything goes back to chinese when selecting danish locale..)
If i need to translate some more language, both in the ROM itself and other apps, how do i do that?
Thankyou for your patience with a newbie

You need to replace the values in the string xml files and create a new directory for the language.
But you need to decompile and recompile the rom completely.

[Q] Arabic Keyboard Juggernaut v4.1

I apologize if this question was asked before, I am a newbie and I installed Juggernaut on my T989 but when I switch to Arabic language I don't get an Arabic keyboard. Can some one please point me in the right direction on how to write in Arabic in this ROM.
Thanks for any help
I couldn't find any answer any where to why when I change to Arabic the Keyboard does not change in juggernaut 4.1, but I played with it a little bit and installed A.I.type Keyboard Plus and voila it working I can write in Arabic. you will only find one issue if you try to instal A.I.type Arabic Predictionary I get the following error "Incompatible with other applications using the same shared user ID" but for the moment this is not important for me as I dont really need the dictionary.
Hope this help all these having the same issue.
Try swift key x, and download the Arabic language add on, it works great on my T989

[Q] How to add language to a ROM

Hey there,
Today I went from CM9 to Liquidsmooth v1.5
It's so fast!
But there is a problem, Liquid devs deleted other languages from ROM and I need Arabic/Persian language.
So I got the fonts from CM9 and pushed them to Liquidsmooth ROM and fixed the permissions so now fonts are working in web browsing I can read Persian fonts in webs. (Before it was squares!)
Then I installed Smart Keyboard Pro and downloaded persian language for it from Google Play.
Then I noticed that Persian font doesn't work in the OS itself. I mean, when I switch to persian keyboard, all the letters are "squares" and I can't type.
I just need Persian language for web browsing (that I fixed this part) and typing.
I don't want to translate everything. I want my phone to be in English language only I want to fix typing. and I have a keyboard app that supports Persian language. Just it doesn't show the letters (it shows squares)
So, what should I do? I hope someone help me.
Thanks in advance.
PS: I'm still a newbie in android because I got my phone 2 weeks ago, I didn't have time to learn Android programming and other things but I will do it in near future.
I think I have to edit fallback_fonts.xml and push it to the phone too. Right?
Anyone?
For adding languages you need a Rom with the language you want. In ur case Arabic.
So you download AOSP Rom and then you need to get the "values-ar" and "raw-ar" from every apk you want to translate. Its kinda mayn work. Specially if you never done it before and if you do it just like me ;-)
You need some tools like apktool and zipalign and winrar.
I cant really explain how to do it. Iam not in that.

Thanks for your answer mate. But do I really need to do these? Because I don't want to translate anything. I only want it for typing. Fonts work great in web browsing I got them from CM9 ROM.
Liquidsmooth doesn't show the letters in the keyboard but it works in web browsing.
even the keyboard is not the android keyboard I use another keyboard from Google Play that supports Persian language.
Devs really should not delete languages from roms :crying:

[Q] How to translate a rom........

Hi folks,
I am from a country Albania and it doesn't have a languange pack for this language (as I now), official Gingerbread 2.3.6 from samsung has the albanian languange but cyanogen roms not. I want to translate its self but i don't know how . I search to many forums but without success.
Can anyone help me please..... I would be very grateful.
p.s I WANT TO TRANSLATE CM7 ROM
decompile all apks
change .xmls to your language
compile
use apktool andd xda tutorials

I only know about the hard way. You have to decompile ROM apks one by one, and you will find the language files in /res/values-XX. Find a language you can translate from, if it's english, then values-en. Open strings.xml with a text editor, and translate. Save your work, and send it to a developer to put it in their ROM.
Ps.: If you don't know, how to decompile an apk, search for it on XDA. There are a couple of solutions out there.

Chinese handwriting help pls

Hi peeps
Does everyone know how to set up Chinese handwriting on uk note? ?
I can write on keyboard but not with the s pen on the handwriting bit.
Pls I need help

I'm using swype beta and you can switch between Chinese swype and handwriting by long pressing comma on the Chinese keyboard. Unless you use two windows a lot I think swype is a much better keyboard and supports pen input..

I installed Omega 8 and can choose UK eng and Chinese handwriting. Before that I was on UK stock rom 4.1.1 and I had manually adding Chinese IME. Of cause, you have rooted note 2.
To install Chinese IME manually, download any rom from the region (HK, Mainland, or Taiwan). Extract system (convert to ext4 and use ext4 image read) to extract two files (I was using mainland one)
SamsungChineseIME_CHN_Phone.apk at /system/app
libjni_secime.so at /system/lib
Copy them into corresponding areas. After rebooting you have Chinese keyboard with handwriting. But you do need to choose it manually from seting->language.

you need to get a rom with chinese handwriting included...use root explorer , navigate to /system/ and copy 2 folders: /system/sypdb and /system/VODB and then flash whatever rom you want. and paste the folders you copied to the same location
