This file documents the necessary procedure for adding a new
|
||
|
|
language to the list of languages that Wine can display system
|
||
|
|
menus and forms in. Currently at least the following languages
|
||
|
|
are still missing:

To add a new language you need to be able to translate the
|
||
|
|
relatively few texts, of course. You will need very little
|
||
|
|
knowledge of programming, so you have almost no excuses for
|
||
|
|
not adding your language, right? We should easily be able to
|
||
|
|
support 20 languages within a few months, get going! Apart
|
||
|
|
from re-compilation it'll take you about an hour or two.

Create a new file

<filename>dlls/commdlg/cdlg_XX.rc</filename> (where
|
||
|
|
<literal>XX</literal> is your language abbreviation)
|
||
|
|
containing all menus. Your best bet is to copy
|
||
|
|
<filename>cdlg_En.rc</filename> and start translating.
|
||
|
|
There is no real need to know how the internal structure
|
||
|
|
of the file, as you only need to translate the text within
|
||
|
|
quotes.

In menus, the character "&" means that the next
|

|
|
character will be highlighted and that pressing that
|
||
|
|
letter will select the item. You should place these
|
||
|
|
"&" characters suitably for your language, not just
|
||
|
|
copy the positions from (say) English. In particular,
|
||
|
|
items within one menu should have different highlighted
|
||
|
|
letters.
