- Version: 1.0
- Type: util/misc
- Requires: OS 2.0
-
- Since the OS version 2.1 Amiga has had an unique feature called
- localization. Localization is the process by which software dynamically
- adapts to different locales. A locale is made up of a set of attributes
- describing a language, a set of cultural and lingual conventions, a
- physical location, etc.
-
- Localization is accomplished through a locale.library which utilizes
- language drivers, the country database and catalog files. An application
- using the locale.library can be easily localized on any language with one
- of the several utilities available for that purpose. But what about
- programs not using the locale.library - the old ones? Can they be
- translated?
-
- The answer has been so far a strict 'NO', but because of BFLocalizer
- (Brute Force Localizer), we may now answer 'YES'.
-
- BFLocalizer modifies binary program files, or any type of files, directly
- (comp. catalog files) by replacing the old text strings with new ones -
- with the translated ones. You cannot have the advanced locale.library
- services but at least you can use the program with your own language.
-
- The BFLocalizer is a freeware [AMITY] product.
