Updated Translation (file sent to Patchou)
Version 04.05.25.3 attached

* 2 double ampersands corrected (thank you Leif)
* 2 sentences rearranged to sound more fluent
* some missing ampersands added
* now saved as ANSI (I do whatever you want Leif )
* commentline at top of file added (thanks CookieRevised)

well done, its v. good, you've done it quite fast, thankyou sincerely, do i just put it in

Program Files > Messenger Plus! 3 > Languages?

Thanks! But please do NOT save as Unicode (Edited: "Die Verwendung ist am sinnvollsten für komplexe Sprachen wie Japanisch oder Hebräisch.") - unless your language demands it!
1. The file gets twice as big (but not twice as good) compared to ANSI. (No big deal of course with today's BIG harddisks)
2. At the moment I'm sitting at a Win98 machine. And the German file doesn't even show up in the list when I try to change to German! So I had to resave it as ANSI.

File updated...
Lang_Deutsch.ini was always saved as Unicode (my editor did that automatically)

@traxor
copy the file to "Resources" to use it

give it up, i'm not your waiter leif

let me know if you guys are now (finally!?) happy with the german translation. i wanna send it to patchou before he updates mp!3 without the latest ini

Well, if you still didn't send it, an you realy want to add something : What you can do is to give the file a version/revision/whatever number (you decide this for yourself, what you find most handy).

Some translators do this also. This is very handy to keep track of changes. And it is also handy for people checking other translations ( for example, It was'nt clear at first sight what version was most recent of the Català-translation, the one that KeyStorm last posted or the one in Plus!... I had to read the thread, check the files and changes to find out...).

You can do this in two ways:
- Put it in a comment line at the top of the file.
- Put it in the About Dialog (so your users will see it also)

examples can be found in:
Lang_Afrikaans.ini (used both methods)
Lang_Magyar.ini (only a commentline at top of file)
Lang_Nederlands.ini (used both methods)
Lang_Norsk.ini (Bokmal) (only a commentline at top of file)
Lang_Svenska.ini (only in the About Dialog)

file sent to patchou (i've read the send now post in the other topic )

i used 04.05.25.3 (YY.MM.DD.Changes_today) as versionnumber - so the files are sorted right in the explorer window (the versions "grow" each day, oldest on top, newest on bottom)...

edit » that's the same way i create folders to have backups of my translations (i actually have ~28 backups of the mp!3 ini)

small note: the (updated) file posted in your topmessage doesn't contain that commentline...

EDIT: Sorry my mistake...

it does, try cleaning your cache. it works here

no problem
