- Description
- -----------
- Internationalization Tools (for short i18n) is a set of Delphi
- sources that allow you to make your programs easily translatable
- via external language files. So users can contribute translations
- to your program. The program internat allows users to translate to
- their own language.
-
- Mind though this program is in it's early stages of developement.
- It's usable but just to be sure backup your language files before
- changing them.
-
- Please make sure that Internat.exe is in the same directory as the
- language files.
-
- Usage INTERNAT.
- ---------------
- A. New Translation.
-
- * To make a new translation type the name of your language in the
- language dropdownbox (middle of the window).
- * Press the "Refresh translatables". Internat now loads all
- translatable strings from english.lng.
- * Click on the first translatable string in the listbox (left side)
- * Now in the top two editboxes appear the same strings.
- * You must change the lower sentence (Translate box)
- * Press enter when you finish with a translation
- * The next string will automatically be selected.
- * When you're ready translating press the "save translation" button.
- * In the application (in this case Girder) set the language
- to the name you specified here.
-
- B. Update a Translation.
-
- Do this if you translated the application (int this case Girder)
- and the program changed some of it's translations. Or added translations
-
- * First of all set the language box to your language. (middle of the window).
- * Press "Load translation"
- * Now we want the new translations to be loaded and the stale ones
- removed. So press "Refresh Translatables"
- * The new strings have been added to the list.
- * Translate them as usual and save your file.
