- AmigaBase uses the locale.library. So it is possible to display text
- in various languages. Currently AmigaBase supports the English, German,
- Swedish, Italian, French, Spanish, Danish and Dutch language.
-
- If you want AmigaBase to support your language, you have to edit the
- file AppStrings.source and translate it into your language (if the file is
- not included in this directory, contact me!).
- For each string you have to insert a line like this:
-
- /* Language-ID "Your translation" */
-
- where Language-ID is one of:
-
- D german
- DK danish
- E spanish
- F french
- GB english
- I italian
- N norwegian
- NL dutch
- P portuguese
- S swedish
-
- Put the translated strings just behind the originals.
-
- Then use MakeCat to build the locale file. MakeCat is PD.
- You find it on the German AmigaMagazin Disk 1, or you can
- simply contact me for getting it.
-
- Then you have to test your locale file. Please test every menu item of
- AmigaBase. Take care not to use any shortcut twice anywhere.
- Umlauts or other non ascii characters are not allowed to be shortcuts.
-
- Please contact me before translating any text! Perhaps another person
- is translating the file into the same language!
-
- If you think your locale file is ready for the distribution, send me a
- copy of the AppStrings.source file. I will add it to the next release
- of AmigaBase and make it available to the public.
-
- For translating the AppStrings.source file into a new language I offer
- you a free registration of AmigaBase.
