I've been thinking about localizing KPW for a long time.
Lots of things have changed since the time of fw 5.0.x. Many resources have been moved into loop partitions.
My biggest concern is the safety of installation. Will we be able to restore the previous state if something goes wrong ?
Remember that the localization pack is the only Kindle modification that is mostly installed by users with little or zero computer literacy.
The root partition changes should be as little as possible - one hook script should be enough.
Everything else should be implemented with bind mounts and dependent on presence of certain flag in the user store. Any unnecessary complexity should be avoided.
Installing rescue pack & back door lock together with localization pack might appear to be necessary.
There is only one thing that prevents me from diving into this project: I don't own KPW nor KT.
