Yes, ADC can speak on your own language!
Open the Language tab in Options dialog. Using the drop-down box, select the language file to be used (usually the name of this file is equal to the name of the language, and the extension is ini). When the selection will be made, you’ll see the “true” name of this language at the right (as on the picture below).
If your language is not listed here you can create the required file yourself. It is quite simple: just use the english.ini (located in ADC program directory) as a template; translate all words and sentences from English to the language of your choice. The file has to be saved with the name yourlanguage.ini (e.g. esperanto.ini).
Just three notes. First, don’t translate the first line in english.ini – [Message]. This is the “standard” header which should not be changed; the second line contains the name of the language (e.g. “Language=Esperanto”). Second, try to keep the sentences as short as they appear in english version – otherwise, they probably will not fit in the dialog boxes; in some cases, the program may even crash if some messages will be too long. And the last: don’t change the things like %s, %d or 0x%08X – these are the format specifiers.
By the way, don’t forget to inform us that you’ve made a new international version – we’ll include this file into the next version of ADC. If you’ll contact us prior to starting the translation (to be sure that you’re the onliest person who is doing this work), you can get the free registration! |
