Are you interested in a translation?
Opened this issue · 8 comments
Is your feature request related to a problem?
I like that the programs I use are in my language
Describe the solution you'd like
Translate the software into my language
Describe alternatives you've considered
I am ready to do it myself, but I will need the consent of the software developer and a short tutorial - which files to handle.
To which language do you want to translate the program?
But it will help everyone. It turns out that more people will be happy to translate.
Hebrew
I have to inform you that I haven't tested right-to-left languages at all. However, if you want to try, do the following:
- First, read the contribution guidelines to know how to make your fork and to what branch it should affect
- Then, run my "three-letter representation of Windows language names" program to know the language code for the one you want to translate to
- Next, start translating!
Translation guide
You must add the translations to each Select Case MainForm.Language and Select Case Language statements. Also, add main window translations in the ChangeLangs procedure:
You also have to provide translations twice: one time for automatic language detection (Case 0) and another time for when the user manually sets the language (since there are 4 languages supported, your case is Case 5)
In the Case 0 blocks, the language code is important. Insert a new line and add Case <Three-Letter-Rep> at the end of the blocks (<Three-Letter-Rep> is the three-letter representation of your language name)
Note
Since Hebrew is a right-to-left language, add code to set the right-to-left layout by enabling this property:
RightToLeft = Windows.Forms.RightToLeft.YesIf that doesn't work, try setting up the RightToLeftLayout property to True as well
After having basic translations, add your language item to the ComboBox3 in the Options window:
If you have more questions, feel free to ask them
@Y-PLONI, how are the translations going?
I didn't like to admit, but I got in trouble with the instructions... I'm more about translation, not programming .Can you give me a specific file for treatment? If so, I can just download it and translate, and upload it to you in this thread.
@CodingWonders
Everything in quotation marks is a string, which you can replace to add your translations. That is the basic bit. The properties are just for right-to-left languages.
If you want, you can just work on the translations. I'll add the right-to-left property. You will need to add your language to the ComboBox though
I know how to translate strings...
I need a direct link to the file that I need to translate.

Follow the contribution guidelines to get started, and then begin translating the strings in all .vb files
