Program for Russification of programs. Free Russifiers

All tips

Most mobile phones and tablets with the Android operating system sold on our market already have Russification built into the firmware. Even in Chinese smartphones from second-tier companies, their manufacturers are trying to localize the interface of the system and installed programs, including into Russian. Unfortunately, in practice there are still cases when a phone or tablet from a little-known company ordered from China comes with firmware in which the Chinese language is installed, and in the best case it can be changed to English or one of the most common Western European languages. For some users who are fluent in foreign languages, this may not seem like a problem. But we think that most buyers would like to install their native language on their device and enjoy all its advantages.

Today we will tell you, dear readers, how to translate your Android into Russian. If you are one of the owners of the above-mentioned mobile or tablet with an unfriendly interface, this article is written for you.

How to check the presence of Russian language in the operating system

We assume, dear user, that since you are reading this article, you have already checked the settings of your Android device and made sure that the Russian language is not in the selection list. But if you still forgot to do this, check the availability of the Russian-language OS interface right now. Go to the "Settings" menu item on your phone or tablet and then select "Language & keyboard". In the menu that opens, select the first item “Select language” and check the list of available languages to see if Russian is there. If it is missing from the system, it’s time to install it, correcting this annoying flaw.

Russification of Android keyboards only

Some users are ready to come to terms with the fact that the firmware of their device or the interface of some programs does not have Russian localization, but they need at least Russification of the on-screen keyboard. After all, typing texts, communicating on social networks, sending messages, etc. Latin letters are at least unreadable for those who will receive these messages. For such users, the solution may be to simply install a keyboard with Russian language support on the system. There are a huge variety of similar keyboards for Android, because, in fact, a keyboard is a regular program that you can download and install on your phone or tablet.

On Google Play Market, you can always find something suitable for the search query “keyboard”. One of the popular ones is SwiftKey Keyboard, which has support for Russian and Ukrainian languages. But you can choose any other keyboard to your liking, experiment. Installing applications from the Google Play market is described in detail on our portal in.

After installing the new keyboard, all you have to do is follow the path “Settings” ->

"Language & keyboard" and check the box next to the keyboard that we just installed. If necessary, you can click on the name of this keyboard and make the desired program settings in the list of parameters that appears. Now you can type texts in any applications in Russian.

How to Russify Android (for Android up to version 4.2)

Many users are unlikely to be fully satisfied with the conditional Russification given in the sections above, and they will want their Android phone or tablet to communicate with them entirely in Russian. This can be done, and now we will tell you how to completely translate Android into Russian if your phone or tablet has an old version of the operating system.

The most popular application for localizing Android firmware is MoreLocale 2, available for download on Google Play.

Download the program from there or install it on your mobile device in any way. Next, in order to install the Russian language in your system, you need to perform the following sequence of actions:

Launch MoreLocale 2 and select the green "Custom locale" item in the program window;

In the window that appears after this, you need to click the “ISO” button located next to the “Language” menu item and select the “Russian” language there;

After this, click the “ISO” button located opposite the next menu item “Country”, and select “Russian Federation” from the list of countries;

Press the "Set" button to confirm your choice;

You can enjoy full localization, your phone or tablet has learned to speak Russian.

Please note: if the applications installed on the operating system do not have Russian language initially, MoreLocale 2 will not be able to Russify them. Perhaps in this case your operating system will not be completely Russified. But it's better than nothing, isn't it?

In addition, when using the method given above, it is necessary to take into account the following: due to the changed rules for making changes to the OS configuration, This method will not work on firmwareAndroid version 4.2.x and older. How to transfer devices with new versions of Android, read on.

How to Russify Android 4.2 and higher

Complete Russification of the entire Android operating system version 4.2.x and higher is associated with some difficulties, but there are no difficulties that a true Android system enthusiast cannot overcome, right?

To begin with, let's say that on Google Play there is a program Set Locale & Language, which allows you to set the system language, even if it is not in the firmware. The developers claim that it can localize even Android versions 4.2.x and older.

However, many users complain that the Set Locale & Language program does not always work stably, and localization settings may disappear after restarting the application. Only one recommendation can help here: try, try, and hope that you are lucky and your device is localized reliably.

But if the previous method turned out to be useless for you, now we will teach you another method on how to translate the system language of your phone or tablet into Russian. This method was originally invented for HTC smartphones, but for other phones or tablets it also works great in many cases.

To Russify new versions of the Android OS, we will need to download the adb program and install it on our computer. In addition, in this case it is also necessary to install the More Locale 2 application, which was already discussed above. Also install drivers for your smartphone or tablet on your PC. To Russify your Android device, follow the instructions below:

1. Enable the "USB debugging" mode on your device (Program menu -> "Settings" -> "Developer options" -> "USB debugging"). If the "Developer options" item is not available in the menu on your device, you need to find the "About phone" item in the "Settings" menu and click on the name of the device model or firmware version ten times in a row. "Developer options" will appear in the settings menu;

2. The ADB program must be unpacked on the computer to the root of the C: drive (the path to the executable file should be: C:\adb\adb.exe);

3. Connect your Android device to your computer;

4. Launch the command line application on your PC by running cmd.exe;

5. Enter the command cd c:\adb to go to the folder C:\adb\;

6. To search for your smartphone, enter the commandadb devices;

7. The program should display your device ID below under the line " List of devices attached ";

8. Enter team

adb shell pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION

9. Make sure, What V window appeared answer programs

lo cale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION;

10. If we made an error in the command syntax, the system will display a message with help from the pm command. In this case, you need to carefully repeat the command again.

11. Disconnect your Android device from your computer and launch MoreLocale 2.

12. Repeat the sequence of actions for Russifying the firmware using MoreLocale 2, indicated in the previous section.

If your phone or tablet is not found by the ADB program, and you see the word “offline” next to its identifier, this means that your version of ADB is outdated for this model. Download the Android SDK and install it on your computer. In the /platform-tools/ folder you will find the latest version of ADB.

Please note that this localization method (like the method for Adroid before 4.2.x) works at the software level, and not at the operating system level. That's why if you do, your localization will fly off, and to get the Russian language after resetting the settings, you will have to do everything all over again.

As you can see, it is not always easy to localize new mobile devices with the latest Android firmware. The only good news is that even little-known Chinese mobile phone developers are already paying attention to the market of Russian-speaking users, and phone or tablet models that do not have Russian localization are becoming less and less common. For most modern devices, it is usually possible to find, if not official, then at least custom (custom) firmware, in which the Russian language will be built-in. We hope your new mobile phone on Android OS will be exactly like this!

How to translate the program into Russian?

Master's answer:

Unfortunately, most of the really worthwhile PC programs are written in English. And, despite the fact that there are wonderful programs in Russian, the problem of Russification remains relevant.

If the interface of the program you need is in English, it can be Russified. You need to go online and enter the name of the required program in the search bar. Surely, you are not the only one who has encountered such a problem, and the more like-minded people there are, the more likely it is to find the necessary localization. There is even a special service “Mail Answers”, where you can find many similar questions.

Go from the main menu to the About item, there you can find out the program version. Then download a crack that is strictly suitable for your version; others simply won’t be of any use. The versions must correspond exactly to each other, because... any slightest discrepancy will cause the utility to fail. The cracker comes with instructions that will help you easily complete the installation. There are two installation methods: the first, when the necessary files are copied to the internal folders of the program and the second, when specifying the location of the main program. It is worth noting that some crackers may carry viruses, so when downloading it is recommended to carefully check them with an antivirus, or better yet, more than once. Then we restart the program. If, when starting the program, the system generates an error, or the letter part is displayed incorrectly, it follows that the localizer was not selected correctly. Try repeating all the above steps with a different version. If there is no local translation for your program, don’t worry, you can always use an online translator. Perhaps the translator from google will surprise and delight you with its speed.

The application development process is a very expensive and time-consuming process, and developing a single program can take a lot of effort, money, and time. This is why programmers very often forget to localize programs into Russian. But thanks to the programs that are presented in this list, Russifying programs is now not difficult.

Programs for translating programs may not be tools specially created for this, but the most common “resource thieves” if they know how to change resources, and not just gain access to them. Most of the programs on this list were not developed for localization, however, this can be done with their help.

The simplest version of the Russifier. Of course, it was developed as a simple way to access program resources, but the skillful hands of users have found better uses for it. There are no advantages to it, as such, but there are disadvantages. For example, it has not been updated for more than 10 years, and its functionality has not been satisfactory for a long time, since eXeScope cannot gain full access to all resources.

PE Explorer

This program is one of the most powerful ways to access program resources. It has a very wide functionality, and it receives a “pass” to almost all parts of the program, which allows you to translate, even untranslatable things. An intuitive interface and the ability to recognize a virus even before launching programs makes it even more attractive.

Resource Hacker

Resource Hacker is slightly reminiscent of PE Explorer, at least in functionality. Thanks to this program, you can also access many resources, thereby translating more phrases and words. In addition, you can write your own scripts in it, which can then be installed directly into the program as a separate resource (perhaps this is how viruses get into programs).

LikeRusXP

LikeRusXP was developed specifically for translating programs, unlike the three previous programs. It does not have a large set of functions, like Multilizer, but it has built-in translators and even its own glossaries that can be supplemented. However, this program for Russifying programs is free only for a while.

Multilizer

At the moment, this is the most powerful program for translating programs into Russian. Unlike Resource Hacker and similar “resource thieves”, it gains access to exactly those that need or can be translated. It has several importers, including “google-translate”. Thanks to importers, you can organize automatic translation, or translate each line manually.

The list of these programs was compiled specifically for those who cannot learn a foreign language, because now you have the opportunity to translate almost any program yourself. The most suitable, but also the most expensive tool for this is Multilizer, although someone may like another program. Or maybe you use localization programs that are not on this list?

Today, the range of applications for devices with the Android operating system on board, offered in the Google Play Market online store, is quite extensive so that without any problems we could find here what we currently need.

However, many applications, and especially new ones, that appear here still cannot boast of having translations into all the major languages of the world, not to mention less common languages. Today I want to tell you about a simple way to fix this situation.

We will talk about how to translate any Android application into almost any language in the world automatically, without user intervention.

Of course, to do this you will need to pre-prepare your device, which ultimately must meet the following requirements:

Availability of Root access

Xposed Framework installed

Operating system: Android 5.0 and higher

Activated mode for installing applications from unknown sources.

You will find methods for obtaining root on forums dedicated to your smartphone or tablet model. You can read about what the Xposed Framework is and how to install it on a smartphone or tablet in this material, and you can activate the installation mode from unknown sources in the main system settings menu of your device, in the “Security” section.

How to automatically translate an Android application into the desired language

1. Launch Xposed Installer, and in its main menu, which slides out from under the left edge of the display, select “Search for modules”

2 . In the window that opens, click on the button in the form of a magnifying glass on the application toolbar and type Alltrans in the input field. Click on the search result and select the latest (or any other) version of the module.

3. After installing the module, you will need to activate it as usual. You can do this in the “installed” menu section of the Xposed Installer application by checking the box next to the module you just downloaded. To complete the installation, reboot your device.

4. After rebooting, you will see that the icon has appeared in the application tray of your smartphone or tablet. AllTrans. Launch it.

The main window of the module will open as follows with three tabs:

On the first one, called “Translation Applications,” you need to select from the list of applications installed on your device those that require translation.

On the second tab “Global parameters” you will find a list of module settings. Here you need to make sure that the module is enabled (the topmost switch in the list), set the language (or languages) from which you need to translate applications (the “Translation from language” item), and the language into which you want to translate (the “Translation to language” item). , and select a translation system.

5 . To select a translation system, set the switch to the “On” position opposite the “Use Yandex instead of Microsoft” item. If you wish, you can also use the Microsoft translator, but you will need to show your credit card number; however, you will not need to pay with it.

6 . Enter your Yandex subscription key

In order to receive a Yandex subscription key, go to this address and enter your Yandex credentials (register if you do not have them).

In the window that opens, check the box next to "I have read the User Agreement and agree to the terms of service." and click on the "Get API Key" button:

Copy the text of the key from the Yandex website and paste it into the input field that appears when you click on the AllTrans settings menu item called “Yandex subscription key”.

That's it, you've set up AllTrans, and congratulations: now your smartphone or tablet will automatically translate applications from the language you set in the AllTrans settings to the language you need.

Of course, the quality of the translation will be far from what a human translator can offer us today, but still this is much better than understanding an application made in a completely unfamiliar language.

Unfortunately, today almost all programs and games are created by international companies. This is why we can often encounter such a problem when working in such applications as lack of knowledge of foreign languages. And if you need this program for work, then you are simply forced to learn how to use it. How to work in such programs without additional help? The easiest option is to Russify them. Of course, the translation may be a little inaccurate, but it will be better than a foreign language. How to Russify the program yourself? Let's look at this.

Program for Russification of programs: choosing a Russifier

First you need to find a suitable localization that will match your software version. There are no universal ones. You need to analyze many programs that allow you to Russify this or that application, and choose the appropriate one. If you install the wrong version, it may cause the software to malfunction.
If you are choosing a crack for a game, you first need to make sure that there are no add-ons in it. Because because of them, additional software will not work, and the game language will remain the same.
It is advisable to choose a localizer from official companies. Of course, they are paid, but more functional and reliable. Do not use fakes, of which there are a huge number on the Internet. They are free, but they can cause problems with your program and even your computer. Counterfeits usually contain many different viruses.
It is also better to choose a cracker with the ability to automatically install the application. This way you can run one file, agree to all the requirements and select the installation path. This method is much easier to use than already installed applications, which will need to be unzipped and moved to the desired folder.

Installing a cracker

How to Russify the program yourself? As we have already found out, with automatic installation everything is extremely simple. But how to install the cracker correctly if it does not have this capability and you have to install it manually? Let's say you have a program for Russifying programs. How to install it?

Download the file with the extension .rar. Let's unzip the archive.
Check the catalog for instructions, usually called “Read me” or simply “Instructions”.
If there is such a file, then you should carefully study it and follow all instructions. Otherwise, you need to copy all the files and go to the folder with the game or program.
We insert all files, agreeing with the replacement. But for greater reliability, you should first save the original files.

Removing crack

You may have downloaded the wrong version of the helper program and strange characters appeared instead of the Russian language. What to do in this case? Of course, you should remove the crack and look for a more suitable version. If your additional program had the option of automatic installation, then you should run the .exe file and click on the “Delete” button. If you installed the crack manually, then you need to go to the game folder and replace the modified files with the original ones. This is why you should save them first.

How to Russify the program yourself? Step-by-step instruction

If you have not found a suitable localization for your application, then you should use other methods of Russianization of programs. How to Russify the program yourself? The Multilizer program will help you with this. With its help, you can Russify any product yourself. How to do it?

Project setup

First you need to download and install Multilizer. The installation is quite simple. We agree with all the requirements by clicking on the “Next” button. At the end, unfortunately, you will have to register. After this, you can start working immediately; you do not need to confirm your data.
To proceed to creating a localizer for the required program, you need to click on the New button.
Next, select Localize a file and click on it.
After this, you will need to specify the path to the .exe file of the program that needs to be Russified, and click on the Next button.
In the Native language field, you must select the language of your program.
In the same window, in the left column, select the Russian language and click on it 2 times with the left mouse button. Click on the Next button.
Next, a window may pop up where you will need to confirm your actions by clicking on the OK button. And at the end, click on the Finish button and move on to your project.

Program translation

That's all. Now you can launch your application and enjoy working in it.

How to Russify the program yourself? As you may have noticed, this is a rather long process, but at the same time there is nothing difficult about it. The main thing is to choose the correct translation, otherwise you will encounter some difficulties further when working with the program. How to Russify a German program yourself? In a completely similar way. Only instead of English you should choose German.
