As you said "I tried with notepad ++ apps to edit strings.xml & seen black chinese words" did you used the unicode english, if you are just using some fonts than that wont work. only if you use unicode english than that will work, as you said its your Chinese apk, so your computer must also be set in chinese language too, if this is the case you will need unicode english to translate, else you will get same black chinese words.. i hope i have helped you..

you have understood something wrong, i dont mean that your pc must me in chinese.. i was just saying that your pc might be set to chinese. if your computer is set to chinese than you should install english unicode to use while translating the string.xml. have you ever tried to view the xml file in chrome or ie. if you are using unicode than the translated words will look fine else the words will look different.. unicode is a computing industry standard for the consistent encoding which can be read and shown in the way it is written..

First thing first: there is no easy one click app translation method, you have to translate strings one by one. i have attached one sample string.xml. check how is that working i have kept some untranslated parts too, but that not complete.
Second thing: have you tried to open the english translated string.xml in any browser, if the translated part are all ok( as it should be translated) than you have some other problem, if the translated things are not fine and you are getting black chinese word than read further below..
Third thing: its the case if the translated xml is not looking fine in browser. Go to Control Panel and then Region and Language, then go to keyboards and languages tab and add english language and make it default. than open your string.xml file and select one english font to write(better use the default notepad to edit), you can use Lucida Console font and there below also select script, use western as your script than make the translation one by one..
Fourth thing: Nothing!! I hope you have understood everything what i m trying to explain.
EDIT: Attachment file removed!!

I dont know much about that application. why are you decoding the apk, don't you have the source code? you said its your own app.

If i decode then i will be able to get strings file from there... without decode how its possible to translate strings. My own app mean, i'm not developer as well as i have not created this app myself. I just meant that my particular apps which i wan to translate personally. How i can get the source code? What is the benefit of it?

where i can find Portuguese layout?
srry i want to post in big threads
I need the spanish layout... any idea of what should i need to change? I tried editing system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl but modified keys doesn't work anymore... any idea?
Thanks to all the xda collective!
I have had the same problem, but i was in the need of the swedish keyboard. I have managed it by changing the keyprint-xml to the original (swedish) one.
.. system/usr/Keyboard-config/keyprint.xml
Try to change this file to the original spanish one. It needs to have permissions 644 after the change.
Alternativly you can edit the file and change the following line in the file:
<script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty-en" /> to <script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty-br" />
Could anyone tell me step by step how to change the keyboard layout? Since yesterday my phone use the english keyboard layout and I don't know how to fix it.

who´s willing to contribute?
most probably with this translation i can provide a fully translation package, not only for my rom but for every MIUI around here in 24h tops!
i´ve got already the translation packages bellow so this languages i don´t need your help
HTML:
Da - Danish
De - German
El - Greek
Es - Spanish
Fr - French
Hu - Hungarian
It - Italian
Iw - Hebrew
Nl - Dutch
Pl - Polish
Pt - Portuguese
Ru - Russian
Sl - Slovenian
Tr - Turkish
Vi - Vietnamese
HERE you can find the country codes
HERE you can find an example of a dictionary that you can use to translate.
This is how the file looks like:
ApkName,"FieldName","OriginalText","TranslatedText",
Just change the "green" according and save it with the same format.
This will be a hard task for the first time but afterwards will be like cleaning a babys a$$
Then just link here the *.csv file
Thanks

I said GREEN NOT RED!!!
And after translation put the translated file here and ill create a flashable file for each language.
This way we don't need to install all unheeded files which increase a lot from size without need.
...and forget XML files. This is for MIUI as title says and I can make automatic translations on csv not XML files.

Maybe someone who can read Mandarin can help but if you have google chrome, it will auto translate the page from Mandarin to English for you. Then the download link should be apparent.

[Q] How to add additional system languages

Hey guys,
I bought my phone here in Germany, unlocked and it works great. Thing is, I have multiple languages but they all end with Germany or a German speaking country e.g. English (Germany), English (Austria), English (Switzerland).
Can I install additional system languages such as English (Generic), English (UK) and English (Australia)?
Cheers!

Try to download More Locale 2 app from Android Play Store. That will allow you to choose any of the languages. To enable languages, missing on a keyboard, try installing another keyboard (swype, swiftkey....)

I think he is talking about system languages not keyboards.
If so I think I will make a guide to add all langs because a lot of people requested it.

Any way to change the apps language on H2OS, from english to spanish.

Hi, is there any way to change the language of the apps installed on the phone? I mean, H2OS only have Chinese and Enlglish languages, but Whatsapp, Playstore and so on, have plenty. Is there a way to make them show the language I choose instead of system default?
Ty in advance.

I don't think so, unless you decompile (or something like that) the rom and add it manually.
Btw, this should really go into the H2OS thread, not into a new thread, more people will be able to help you if you post it in the right place. :good:
