The
language files are used by $ProductName to display localized interface. They
contain the translated version of the English strings. The language files
(*.ini) are all located under the "language"
directory of SlimBrowser installation folder. Each language file contains a list
of entries. Each entry consists of a unique identifier followed by a piece of
text. All the language files are associated by the unique identifiers.
You
can edit the existing language files in the language file manager. After editing
the language files, you can email the updated language file to us so that we can
include the changes in the next release. Your changes about un-translated
entries will always be accepted. However, to modify an entry that have been
translated, you need check
whether a language file has been assigned to a chief translator. If it has,
you need contact the chief translator by email and suggest possible
improvements. If you are interested in being a chief translator for a particular
language, please don't hesitate to contact
us. Being a chief translator is a volunteer job making $ProductName more
friendly to non-English users.
Select "Language->Language File Manager" to open the language
file manager.
- Please input your name, email and website address in the dialog
for proper credit and contact information.
- Select the target language that you want to translate from the drop-down
box. Your current language will be automatically selected if you are using a localized
interface. Please notice that if your operation system is based on a
far-eastern language, you can only edit the language file in your own
language. That's because some European language characters can't be
displayed correctly on these systems.
- If the language you want is not in the list, click New Language button
to create a new blank language file. Please make sure you use the English
name of the new language for best compatibility.
- You will be able to see the language file entries displayed in the middle
table. The first column is a unique identifier for internal use. The second
column shows English text and the third column shows the corresponding target language text. Select an entry from the table and
the text will be shown in two edit boxes at the bottom. You can edit the
target language text in the target language edit box. You
can press ENTER key to move to the next entry.
- You can sort the entries based on different criterion by clicking on the column headers.
Clicking on the target
language column header will display the un-translated strings at the top as
a convenience.
- To start a new line inside the entry text, press
CTRL+ENTER instead of ENTER.
- Click Save button to save the changes. Be sure to submit
the updated language file to us so that we can include the changes in the
next release. Otherwise, your changes will be lost when you install the next
version.
