[Q] Language Packages: how to change...

[KMur]

Ok folks, this is a serious issue! (At least for me!)

I've used apps like custom locale & more locale to change the basic system language (aka menus).

But since Android is linux based there should be a way to actually pick the entire language package from one ROM (like original pt-br) and insert/replace en-us or chinese ones.

I've searched for an app to do so but to no avail.

Maybe this should be a Thread for "Android development" but since I have a Defy and the ROM I'm using (and liking more) is chinese I chose to place it here (Just to explain: I don't speak chinese and my docs are in portuguese).

Could some developer out there help with this issue?

of course there is a way. it's called apktool, well, a little patience too.
that's how we've got chinese on uk/tmo/pl releases.

but since you are asking the question, don't try doing it just now.
