Well, guess it's all in the title... :)
I just love editing resources and I would be happy to translate HFS...
Tell me if you are interested!
-
i guess french and dutch users are interested :)
anyway, translating HFS at the moment is unpractical.
few people did it, in russian and chinese.
in the future HFS will be easier to translate.

Right... well I need a french and a dutch version now... or soon... :-\
anyway, translating HFS at the moment is unpractical.
I know, but I'm also a big fan of Resource Hacker, and I *really* don't care if it's practical or not...
The problem: the hfs.exe file seems to be compressed with an exe compressor, so I can't edit it with Resource Hacker!
Could you supply me a non compressed exe file?
I guess i'd be able to finish the french translation in a few days!
-
just uncompress it yourself, it is free ;) http://upx.sf.net

;D Cool! Translation will start in 5min... :)
Would you like me to translate the manual too?
-
sure! a french manual is already started. the wiki (where the documents are kept) is OPEN. just create an account and you can edit what you want, as you wish, you don't need my supervision. Anyway, you can ask on the forum or also refer to Peter http://www.rejetto.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=2176
he is the main curator of the documentation, very active, professional and kind.
anyway, you will find not all strings are in resources.

Great, I'll take a look at that after translating the program!

Hmm, that could be a real pain...
Should I use a hexeditor to edit these strings, or can you suggest me another workaround?
-
an hexeditor may be enough, yes, but unsure.
other people changed the source and recompiled it.

Well, I don't know how to do that!
Maybe somebody can teach me how to do this...
-
1. download sources from the download page
2. download delphi 6
3. edit sources (they are just text files)
4. just a couple of click inside delphi to compile, you got the exe file

Cool!
I guess I'll be able to do that.
Is this more practical than using Resource Hacker?
Do you suggest translating the entire program this way?
-
i can't say if translating a software is more practical using method A or B.
but since new versions are published weekly, with bugs fixed, i would suggest you to find a method that will grant you to easily apply to the new version most of the work you will do with this version.

OK, I will figure out a pratical way to translate HFS...
I will start translating today, and I will be back in a few days with the french version or sooner if I'll stumble on any difficulties concerning the translation...
Thanks for helping me! :)

I already noticed that, but I thought it would be nice to post my message here in order to notify the desiner/programmer of HFS first!
HFS won't be that long to translate I guess because it's quite smalll (but yet very effective and powerful!!), but your help is appreciated!
By the way, I'm dutch and living in france until april '07, and my french is quite good but you never know, I might make a few mistakes in the translation. :-)
I'll be able to count on you to double-check the translation so that's perfect!
HFS is great!
I didn't have time to test it extensively but I'm quite impressed of what I saw already!
Well, I'll start now with cleaning my harddrive, and start downloading my tools, read some manuals in order to learn how to use them, and start working!
I hope I'll succeed to make a contribution to this great program that deserves to be translated in many more languages!
My next messages will be in the french section of the forum.
-
there is no french section in this forum :)
you can post in french anyway, and if i see many french threads, i will open a specific french forum.

Mmm, I'm already stuck before I even started translating...
- I registred an account here, but I didn't receive my registration code in my hotmail mailbox...
I clicked on "resend activation code" without succes.
How long does it take in general to receive the email message?
- Delphi is a real pain to registrate!
The installer wants a registration code in order to install the program files but I can't find it anywhere!
Created an account at Borland, huge website with lots of information and I'm having a hard time finding the info that I need to registrate Delphi.... >:(
I found an alternative way to registrate by telephone but I'm not going to spend money on a phonecard just to activate their program...

Youhoo! ;D It worked!!!!
Thanks a lot Ledufe!
BTW, I found the registration form at the Borland website a few minutes after posting my previous message but I'm still waiting for their email...!?!
There must be something seriously wrong with my mail account?!
Emails that take hours to arrive?
Haven't seen anything like that before... very strange.
Anyway, I'm ready to start working now, finally... :)
P.S.
I really hate registration codes!
-
yes, you may have mailbox difficulties.
i activated you manually, feel free to login. ;)
-
ho ho ho
The users of good software or tools will all over the world just like i from china now i use the chinese edition version it`s very good
-
it is a temporary solution.
using those translated versions, now, means to get no bugfixes.
-
I hope there will be a language ressource file someday so I can translate it to German.
External language ressource files are the way to go...

Started translation...
Can't get working Delphi like it should so returned to good ol'Resource Hacker for partial translation of HFS..
Delphi gets on my nerves.
I'm quite busy so I don't have a lot of time but I'm working on it...
