The dimensions of the controls should be changed so that they will be big
enough to contain the text for every individual language.
Therefore:
- Dimensions of controls are based on sysres_En.rc. Other languages should
change these dimensions in order to make the text fit.
I (krynos@qbc.clic.net) will try to make sysres_Fr.rc fit correctly, if
someone is interrested in others languages, message me. I may correct
others languages after, but not soon.
Here are structure of each line (for example):
PUSHBUTTON "&Help", 1038, 174, 75, 50, 14, WS_GROUP | WS_TABSTOP
1038: The ID of this button, you shouldn't change this.
174 : X-offset of the button with respect to the upper-left corner of
the dialog box.
75 : Y-offset
50 : The width of the button
14 : The height
flags (WS_??? etc): They control how the dialog behaves. Things like:
changing the focus with a TAB, scrolling to a list
of radiobuttons with up/down keys, etc. If you're
not sure: leave them as they are (in the english
version).

===========
Please delete the old CHOOSECOLOR in YOUR sysres_??.rc
and insert the new CHOOSECOLOR from sysres_En.rc to YOUR
language file and translate this as you like it -
otherwise you'll get an undefined behavour.
Today it works well for:
* English
* German
* French
* Italian
* Korean
* Finnish
* Danish
...to be continued......
Thank you.

Subject: EDITMENU
There now is a resource EDITMENU. It is the menu that is displayed when you
click the right mouse button within an edit control. I included an English
version in all sysres_??.rc files, which needs translation in your language.
This has now been done for:
Note: I picked the IDs of the menuitems "at random". When someone wants to
find out the "real" (win95) values, feel free to change them. However, you
should change _all_ sysres_??.rc files and subsequently the function
EDIT_WM_Command() in controls/edit.c. This is a matter of minutes (i.e. no
programming skills required).
Bye,
