(translate strictly in Notepad++ editor)
3. The best way to translate:
- setup phone to your language, e.g. Slovak
- If you see some english text in phone settings, use e.g. Total Commnder and find this text (you have to find text in files) in files form ZIP archive
- you will find location of english text in file name (e.g. strings.xml in folder values)
- find the same file in slovak folder (values-sk)
- copy full strings from english file to slovak file, e.g.
– do it for all english text which you found
6. If you will have translated files, send me it, I will prepare a new version of ROM
