- ToolManager 2.1 Beta 3 03-Apr-1993
-
- -------------------> PLEASE DON'T REDISTRIBUTE THESE FILES! <------------------
-
- This is the latest beta version of TM 2.1. The following things have changed,
- so you must update your translation:
-
- - Source/locale/toolmanager.cd (temporary version 92.x)
- - Doc/TM_English.tex
-
- I have included the preferences editor in this archive, so you can test most of
- your locale translation. The file docs.diff contains the output of the command
- diff used on the files TM_English.tex from 2.0 and this 2.1 beta.
-
- NOTES:
-
- - Please test your translation for the preferences editor on a 640x200 screen.
- It SHOULD fit on such a small screen. Use abbreviations where needed.
-
- - If you want translate the documentation, PLEASE use the Texinfo file. It's
- much easier and you'll get three documention formats from one source.
-
- Here are some notes for the Texinfo format:
-
- There is currently a problem with using 8-Bit ISO-8859-1 characters and the
- localization in Texinfo. Makeinfo doesn't mind, so you can create AmigaGuide
- and ASCII files with 8-Bit characters. The only thing you still need to do by
- hand is to translate the strings "see" and "See" in those files, because
- makeinfo is not yet localized.
-
- The current version of texinfo.tex doesn't like 8-Bit characters. So if you
- need a 8-Bit character in a node, then use the ASCII description of the 8-Bit
- character in the node name. But you still can use the 8-Bit character in
- headings and refrences if you use the following scheme for a node:
-
- @node Menue und mehr --> Node name: Menue und mehr
- @chapter Menü und mehr --> Heading: Menü und mehr
-
- Use the following reference commands:
-
- @ref{Menue und mehr,Menü und mehr}
- @xref{Menue und mehr,Menü und mehr}
- @pxref{Menue und mehr,Menü und mehr}
-
- Use the following menu entry:
-
- * Menü und mehr:Menue und mehr. Das Menü und mehr
-
- Makeinfo and TeX will use the node name to create the references, but the
- buttons and headings will be printed with the 8-Bit characters. To create the
- .dvi File from the Texinfo source, you should use amigatexinfo.tex, which adds
- the 8-Bit characters to the texinfo package. So the first two lines of the
- Texinfo file should read:
-
- \include amigatexinfo.tex
- \include texinfo.tex
- [....]
-
- Of course you still need to localize the texinfo.tex file itself. Look out for
- the following strings: Chapter, Section, section, Appendix, page, see, See,
- Table of Contents.
-
- The following file is an updated version of amigatexinfo.tex from the makeinfo
- 1.49b package, which fixes some problems with accented characters.

- % a) make all characters from "A0 to "FF active characters
