how to add language support to android
- by avar
hello
i hope someone put me on the right direction with my problem
i want to work on supporting my language, specially the writing on android
we use Arabic characters with little modification ( like parsi, urdu etc)..
i was hoping android has fully supported Arabic , then i would make changes to work with my language. but even 2.2 dosn't support Arabic . it just show Arabic characters and it is not connected.
that is "????? " is displayed "? ? ? ? ?".
some individuals have made Arabic support on CyanogenMod ROM's for some HTC phones, but they would not tell how they made it.
I'v got the android source code, i want to know where to start, where to make changes , what is the library that handle fonts , shaping engine etc ..
ps : android.com and other android related google groups are blocked in my country.
