[Sug] Lang file's Changelog by Chancer on 07-05-2006 at 05:52 PM

Some languages weren't and won't be realesed officially by Patchou in Msgplus setup.
But Patchou never said people are forbidden to make their own translations with their languages.

So, I was wondering if someone could make available a changelog, even because new versions will come (such as 4.01, which beta testers are already using) to make easier the work of those translators.

Would you mind doing this?

Well, changes from Plus 3.63 to Plus Live 4.00 are easy to find: all the language file. Translators have to start from scratch to translate it.

And the changes from 4.00 to 4.01 are very small. If you use a program to compare the lng_default.ini files of both versions, you'll quickly find the changes. WinMerge is a great free program for that purpose.

hm...interesting that program...it'll be very usefull

about tha changes from 4.00 to 4.01...they can be small, bu to look over more than 1660 lines...it'd be easier with a changelog, but that WinMerde can do this work to us :P

How is the changelog going to help? All it is going to say is what was added. It would be the new english lang file that you would want.

what has been added, changed and removed.
