Device: Kindle PW 2 5.4.5.1
I have a Kindle PW2 5.4.5.1. I tried to install google translate, but does't work, I don't know why, because Kindle said update was successfully installed.
What do you thing, it is because of my firmware?

See https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle_Touch_ACX for more information.

Everything needed for ACX signing (signing app in Java, appropriate private key) can be found here:

Attached sample ACXs adds ability to translate selection with Google Translate to your Kindle.

Install AcXE (Update_acxe_*_install.bin from acxe_*.zip), put gtranslator.acx (the one for your device) in [userstore]/system/acw/, reboot Kindle and you should see a new "Google Translate" item in the "More" menu after you highlight some text.
