Translations to other languages

[elistvan]

Hi!

I would line to translate the program to my native language: Hungarian. Can somebody send me the necessary fles to translate them, or a software to do it somehow?

Currently, the only way to do this is modifying the source code (translating the strings directly there), and compiling again the program. It's not a very easy task (neither too difficult), since you need to have the compiler (Delphi), the additional components (listed on the source code), and there is no guarantees if something fails on compilation time (if you don't know that you are doing).

That's why, I've proposed Rejetto several times to add THIS crucial component, that would allow any end-user to easily translate HFS in any language, as simple as editing a text file and without to have to compile the program. Ask him the current status of adding this component...

Leo, Leo, LEEEOOOOO, I finally did it. Can you believe it?
Let's make a test, first, to see if everything is ok.

Consider this method doesn't cover every bit of text in the app, but we can work in the future to expand the set of translatable strings.

WHOAA!!! Finally!! I can't believe it!

IT WORKS!! It was worth the wait! I will make some more tests now, and give you a file translated to Spanish in the next few hours or tomorrow (and sorry I didn't check the emails yesterday).

Congrats!

> EDIT: It will take me a few days to complete the spanish translation, but every seems to work correctly. If anyone wants to start translating to another language, be sure to use a text editor that supports UTF-8, and not ANSI like the Windows's default notepad. The best editor to get this done is Notepad++ (Choosing from the menu: Encoding > Encode in UTF-8, and from: Language > I > INI file), and then starting translating everything after the "=" symbol, taking care of not breaking anything. If anyone has another freeware utility to edit the file, feel free to leave the suggestion here. Thanks again Rejetto!, I'm very happy to see this added! I'm sure all the HFS comunity is also happy!

@rejetto: I've sent you a private message with a preliminar spanish translation. (I'm also attaching the translation file here).

Hi !


Just to say that .lng files can also be conveniently translated with IniTranslator.
