Kindle 4 (no touch) GUI Localization

Hi all!

I'm glad to present my new Localization hack for Kindle 4. It's intended for who will make other localizations.

New in 4.04 - Now Localization support Keyboard localization via Keyb file during installation. My Russian loc, has demo file Russian.keyb, you can edit it to support for your language.
Also there is available Russian Keyboard Only localization. This is minimal version of localization, it installs Russian language but interface is English except keyboard.

Links to installation scripts:
Russian - http://www.siralex.info/files/update_ru_ru_4.04.zip
Russian Keyboard - http://www.siralex.info/files/update_ru_mini_4.04.zip
Polish - http://db.tt/LlqiN3Bb

Source code for Russian localization available at Google Code: http://code.google.com/p/k3-loc
in branches/k4-loc folder.

This hack will add additional GUI language to Kindle 4.0 (4.0.1). Of course it must be Jailbreaked first.

How to translate:
Translation must be done in same way as K3. You must translate strings files and save to *.translation.
Also there is new images Low_Level_Screens to translate. I've saved Photoshop files to edit it. When you save PNG images, you must convert it to PNG 8-bit Grayscale image. Photoshop save it in Color mode and Kindle not recognize it. I'm use ImageMagick image conversion tool:
>convert reboot.png -colormap Gray reboot.png
