Note to Potential Translators
=============================
Included in this archive are 4 files to assist you with carrying out
translations of Scion and ScionPrefs into the language of your choice:
Scion.cd -----------+
template.ct --------+---- The "language" files for Scion
ScionPrefs.cd ------+
sptemplate.ct ------+---- The "language" files for ScionPrefs
If you would like to translate Scion and ScionPrefs into new languages,
please contact me on either "rakins@bcleng.co.nz" or "rakins@bclnz.co.nz"
or by post to Robbie Akins, 5 Austin Street, Wellington 6001, NEW ZEALAND.
TIPS:
====
(1) Read the notes in each of the ".ct" files.
(2) Translate Scion (template.ct) first. A lot of the translations in
ScionPrefs are the same, and can simply be copied from the Scion
translations.
(3) Use "CatComp" (from Commodore) to compile the .catalog files. Most
of the "public domain" equivalents I have come across have bugs, and
do NOT do the compilations correctly. (They seem to miss out large
sections!) Contact me if you have trouble sourcing "CatComp"; I can
point you in the right direction.
(4) "Catcomp" itself also has problems!!! I use version 38.16 on my A3000
and it's fine. However, the newer version 38.21 doesn't work! But, some
of my translators find that V38.16 won't work, but V38.21 does!!!
Figure that one out!
(5) LATE NEWS: I have just received "catcomp" V39.5. It works on my A3000
once again! Hopefully it will now work on all machines?
(5) Do NOT modify "Scion.cd" or "ScionPrefs.cd"!!!! These are my "master"
files.
P.S. Volunteers to translate the "Scion.guide" on-line help file would
be VERY welcome too!
