- LOCALIZATION OF SCREENTAB
- -------------------------
-
- ScreenTab supports the new localization features of Workbench 2.1 and
- higher. If you want to translate the strings of the user interface into
- your language, you need Commodore's CatComp-Program and the following
- steps:
-
- 1. Load the file 'ScreenTab_Empty.ct' into any text editor.
-
- 2. Put the translation date in the first line (XX.XX.XX)
- and your language in the line '## language X':
- i.e. '## language svenska'
-
- 3. Put your name in the '(your name)'-field
-
- 4. Now you can see triples of lines each of them has the outfit:
-
- <String-ID> COMMODITY_DESCRIPTION
- <Blank line>
- <Text> ; Application-Switching like Windoze
-
- Translate the <Text> into your language and put it in the blank
- line without the semicolon. Now the triple could look so:
-
- <String-ID> COMMODITY_DESCRIPTION
- <Translated Text> Wechseln von Anwendungen im Windows-Stil
- <Text> ; Application-Switching like Windoze
-
- 5. Do step 4 with every triple in the file.
-
- ATTENTION : ScreenTab needs special informations, if you want to
- handle the user interface with the keyboard:
-
- - so if you want to use menu-shortcuts, put the
- shortcut character in front of the menu text and
- separate them with a '|'
- - for buttons and other gadgets put a '_' in front
- of the shortcut letter
-
- Don't use one character for two or more gadgets/
- menus of a window !!!
-
- 6. If you've translated all the strings (poo !!!), save the file
- with the new name 'ScreenTab_XXXXX.ct', where XXXXX stands for
- your language (i.e. 'ScreenTab_Svenska.ct').
-
- 7. Now start the CatComp-Program within a CLI with the following
- parameters (be sure that you're in the directory of your
- CT-File):
-
- CatComp ScreenTab.cd ScreenTab_XXXXX.ct (to be continued ...)
- CATALOG LOCALE:Catalogs/XXXXX/ScreenTab.catalog NoOptim
- ^
- |
- your language
-
- Don't forget the NoOptim-Parameter !
-
- 8. That's it !!!
-

- CT-File), you can email me under the following InterNet-Address:
