PSheb is a new project by PS3Hax member DanyL that will attempt to translate the whole PS3 into the Hebrew language.
This is a language pack for language_pack.tcl (language_pack.tcl – danyls-tasks in PS3MFW Framework – git.dashhacks.com), which is a task for PS3MFW.
- There are still a lot of typos, and it’ll take me a years to correct it myself – so please join PSheb project and help me to correct any typo.
- Because the PS3 isn’t a native Right-To-Left, the translation should be reversed, for example if you want to write “ABCD”, you’ll write “DCBA” instead.
- Sony are using illegal charters (such as “<>”) in her xml language files, so I had to remove theme all.

I'll never understand how people can read hebrew without vowels. With vowels its learnable in a day or 2 but take those away and it becomes a very difficult language

alienjiz420,
When you speak, read and write in Hebrew all day, every day - it's very easy.

Hebrew is j.e.w.i.s.h language
Homebrew refers to at-home programming, primarily by amateur programmers or hackers. Homebrew programs include games, utility software, downgraders, game system emulators, and pretty much anything you can imagine wanting to run on a PS3
Correct me if i am wrong

BTW - for translators:
I created a tool that extract the languages from .RCOs automatically, so you won't have to extract them one by one.

Alexerer, Its already out
Just download the Hebrew.LP from git, and use it with the language_pack.tcl task.

Nice!
Is there a way to do that in an other language?
I would love to do that in Greek.
I did that already with multiMan, It took me like 2 weeks to get a very sophisticated and as short as possible translation so it would fit normally on the screen without losing in meaning.
I would love to do that for the GameOS too...
Any tutorial or what is needed to do so?

First of all, language_pack.tcl task is universal for any language or firmware.
You can replace fonts, replace entire language or just fix typos.
For creating your own language pck, I suggest you to use LP_RCO to extract automatically every language xml file from RCO files.
LP_RCO will create you a folder named "replace" where you'll find a lot off xml files - this is what you should translate.
If you need to add font support for your language, just create a "font" directory, and put there a font (with the same name as one of the stock ps34 fonts) which contain your language charters.
When you done, just compress it as a .tar archive and name it .LP.
That's all, if you got any question - I'm here.
Good luck!

Hello MeanMachine,
I'm posting the answer (in english) here instead of the PM, so every one could read it and help.
Right now 99% of the strings are translated, but with Google translate.
Most of the strings are correct, but there is still a lot of typos we should correct.
I already corrected many typos, but there is still work to do.
How to help?
Clone my git (and pull every time before you start editing it)
Correct/edit/change strings
Push it to your own git clone
Push request your commit, into the main PSheb git, and I'll merge it.
Take attention that I'll push (probably tomorrow) a big update (fix formatting), so please wait until I'll push it.
A little suggestion for you: I'm searching for typos by exploring the XMB,
Then I reverse it and search & replace it with a new string using grep.
If you want the original language files, use my little program (LP_RCO) to extract them from the .RCO files.
I'll also write a guide how to use and create LP for language_pack.tcl task.

Dany ia shpitz ! i waited for some1 to do that since day one cause friends always want me to translate for them -_- i would prefer my ps3 to be in einglish tho but this is an awesome and very useful for the ones who have weak english.. keep it up.

I decided to finish v0.1.1 (though I came back home only 1 hour ago, and I'm still drunk..
), so you'll be able to start fixing typos.

@DanyL, i don't know any language other than english but respect to you for doing this, also i can't understand why sony didn't put any effort into adding this language as far as i'm concerned its just plain disrespectful of them
08-05-2011
10:44 PM
R.N.A, thanks.
Sony just don't want to add Right-To-Left support, because they'll have to rebuild almost the whole XMB, and I think that they are just lazy.
I decided to split my git into 2 repositories:
1. PSheb - contain a packed PSheb LP (which will be updated every major update).
2. Source - contain the source of PSheb (which will be updated daily).
Now about all this off-topic about my TV,
Are you serious?!
I just used a spray and LCD cloth to clean my TV, and I missed some spray spots with the cloths.
It's not white/yellow or blue - it's transparent, the only reason you can see it is because of the camera's flash.
Now please stop with the spam, any spam message will be deleted!

Hey Good job with the translate
i want to ask you
How did you added HEBREW in the PS3 Browser ?
And can you translate the PS3 DashBoard "the keyboard" ?
08-07-2011
07:13 AM
moneef,
The onlt thing I had to do, to add Hebrew to the browser, is to add the missing glyphs into the font.
Because Hebrew is a Right To Left language, it'll show it in reverse.
Keyboard - not yet, but I am reversing and learning how does it work.
