Version 3.1 or later comes with an exciting new tool called: Language pack creation utility. To access it, from the developer’s menu select Edit Language and it’ll pop-up after 2-3 seconds. Make sure that you have the English language pack installed in Hackman’s directory (doesn’t matter if it’s loaded in Hackman).
Open in this utility your language pack if it exists or choose new to create a new file. Let’s say that you want to create a Greek language pack. From Files menu, click on New and enter Greek. The title bar will change to Greek. Start clicking the English phrases and enter in the box down the equivalent Greek phrases.
To save your work click Save under the Files menu. To move quickly through the resources, from Edit menu select Jump to… and enter a number from 1 to 1000. If you have finished, then you can see if you are OK by selecting Find Problems from Edit menu. This will check to see if you have forgotten to enter a resource or you have entered one in a wrong place (where it should be empty). Alternatively, check this way for fast checking your packs.
Note: if you are have a language pack for a previous version of Hackman and you wish to upgrade it, (make it compatible with the current version) then read the “Upgrading language packs” page in this book.
