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).

Today it works well for: * English * German * French * Italian * Korean * Finnish ...to be continued...... Thank you. Albrecht Kleine kleine@ak.sax.de ************************************************************** 1996, May Subject: ChooseFont Just like ChooseColor, please copy CHOSEFONT from sysres_EN.rc, and translate it to your language. It's okay for: * English * German * Finnish * Italian * French ..... Thank you. Albrecht Kleine kleine@ak.sax.de ************************************************************** 1997, January 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: * English ..... 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).
