Those of you who have already downloaded the new version of MultiEx Commander will have noticed that users can now choose between an English and Dutch user-interface.
The implementation is a simple one, one that requires only editing of text files.
I have attached here the two text files that come with MexCom 4.3.
Any of you willing to participate in creating support for other languages (not specifically needing other non-Western characters) in MexCom, please post here!
If more than one of you wish to translate into the same language, the better of course, as the work load can be divided!
Here's an example from the text file:
Code: Select all
[File |1]
File
[File Menu|2]
New...
[File Menu|3]
Open archive
[File Menu|4]
Table of contents
[File Menu|5]
Exit
[Table of contents|6]
Save the table of contents
[Edit |7]
Edit
[Edit Menu|8]
Find...
[Find|9]
Search and select
[Find|FrameCaption|10]
Search criterium
[Log|11]
Log
The next line then is the actual text that will be used in the program! *THIS SHOULD BE TRANSLATED*!
Allright, Dinoguy has already volunteered for Spanish, but perhaps some of you can assist him with that. All that help out will be acknowledged in the About screen of the next MultiEx Commander AND earn a serial key for the next release
To experiment yourself, copy an existing file, such as Nederlands.txt under a new name in the languages directory in the data folder of MexCom. Then you can choose that one in MexCom (Options). Then make alteration to the new text file and restart MexCom each time to test the results.
