Hello to everyone:
I was hoping if you can help me. I was hopping to add other languages to the CM Roms of geeksphone ONE, and the future ZERO, but up to know, I have never modify a ROM Can you help me here? I'm searching on google, but all I found is change locale from the settings, and I want to add a new locale to the rom (I guess, download source rom, add a locale, and rebuild).
Can anyone share some links to where I might start looking for a kind of tutorial? I'm looking also on xda-developers, but up to now, I found nothing
Thanks in advance!

Hi to everyone
I have found the source for the ONE:
https://github.com/r...geeksphone_zero
https://github.com/C...geeksphone_zero

So, if anyone could point me as to where are the locales in order to modify them an add some more languages, I will gladly appreciate it Thanks in advance!

Adding a language is not device specific (meaning your two links are incorrect/looking in the wrong spot).

Locales are controlled by arrays.xml and strings.xml in framework and individual higher level packages (example: cmparts.apk)

Using CMparts.apk as an example once more: https://github.com/C.../tree/froyo/res

In that folder, you will note 'values-xy', where xy = the locale specified. 'xy' follows ISO standards, http://en.wikipedia....ISO_639-1_codes

If your language exists (I will use es/Spanish for this) then, https://github.com/C...-es/strings.xml is the file you would specifically alter.

If your language does NOT already exist, copy the US language folder 'values-en', rename it according to ISO standards to 'values-xy' where xy = your country/language, then proceed to translate the strings.xml and necessary components of arrays.xml

You would continue this process (theoretically) for every strings.xml in the CM source.

Once done, submissions should go to gerrit http://wiki.cyanogen...e=Howto:_Gerrit
