Hi, Kyle, To answer your two questions, 1) So far, new locales have to be added manually by editing a new po file. I was looking at generating po files automatically by using 'gettext' utility, but somehow got back luck on enabling it. I will investigate more and let you know when it is okay.
2) Application name internationalization seems to be maintained by each application. In mobile-basic-flash, home plugin will read through app desktop file and check if there is the translated name matched to current applied locale setting. Take Pidgin as example, its desktop has following name field setting, [Desktop Entry] Name=Pidgin Internet Messenger ... ... Name[zh_TW]=Pidgin 網路即時通 ... ... and in zh_TW environment, when starting Pidgin from mobile-basic-flash, banner will show up "Pidgin 網路即時通 正在启动..."
