need help to translate ICS MIUI ROM into other language

[alain57]

Hi,

i tried to translate a MIUI for Galaxy Nexus rom (not official rom... the viciousmiui and the miui.us rom) into french
i wrote an unix script to automate the process.

What i do is quite simple:
i get a specific MIUI V4 version for my device and the same translated version for the nexus S (because the nexus S has a french version)

i decompile each apk from the french rom, an put the french files into to decompile galaxy nexus directories
i recompile each apk
and i copy the compiled resources into the origin galaxy nexus apks
and i build the new ROM

but i get a bootloop any ideas ?


here is my script

if there are any part of this script that isn't clear, i could try to explain them.
of course this script could also be used on other device or other translation with some changes.

Thanks in advance .
