Launcher / Help / Language and translation support

When you first open the translation window, you will find that all English language files are always shown and readonly. This allows for easy "side-by-side" translation comparisons.



At this point you can add support for a new language or open an existing. Notice that language files are placed in the "%application%\trans\" directory.



You can use the "refresh / synchronize" button to copy the English translation. If you already have translated some strings, these will be kept. However, some repositioning may occur, so all the English and your translations are located the same places in their respective files. This makes it easier to spot missing translations.



Translation is straightforward in most cases. You can encounter 3 types of fields:

• SomeName1__Value=text - everything after the equal sign should be translated
• SomeName2__Value=text {variable} text - do not translate the {variable} part
• SomeName2__Template=__curly - do not translate at all, this tells that everything embedded in curly {...} is a variable

The text portion may sometimes utilize some, on first sight, strange characters. These are:

• <NL> - Shows a new line
• &lt; - Shows a "<" character
• &gt; - Shows a ">" character
• &amp; - Shows a "&" character

If you have found typos or similar in the English translation, please use the "Send feedback" function in the "Help" menu.

If you have found typos or similar in other translations, consider contacting the authors of these first.

If you wish to translate the program to a new language... That is great!
