Google translated .lng file

Post by noembryo »

I'm trying to translate XYplorer to Greek and for the moment it seems to be almost impossible (given the number of words), but I'll try it anyway to see how far I'll get.
And the first step I took was a shortcut. ;)
I modified one of my apps to translate the .lng file using Google translate and I used it as a starting point for my translation.
Of course I had to convert the file from UTF16 to UTF8, make the translation, and convert it back to UTF16.

So, for anyone here that would like that, I can convert the current .lng to any language that Google translate is supporting.
Just ask and wait to make the conversion (it take some hours :roll: )

Well, good luck! :tup:

Don't forget to check whether there is a code page for that language existing. Otherwise the menus and buttons cannot show the correct characters.

Can you please tell me how do I do that?

In "Various Info" I see:
System / Thread Locale ID: 1032 (el-GR) / 1032 (el-GR)
Default ANSI Code Page: 1253 (ANSI - Greek)
Active ANSI Code Page: 1253 (ANSI - Greek)
Default OEM code page: 737 (OEM - Greek 437G)
Active OEM Code Page: 737 (OEM - Greek 437G)

Does that help?

Set the code page to Greek:

Then check if the menus in XY look okay with your Greek language file.
