Messenger Plus! Translator
Remember, it's just a tool to help in translating. After that, you'll have to check your translation in Plus itself

me neither, but there are few things to know in order to translate a version:

Write the files in Unicode.

Files have sections, which start with [section_name]

Inside each section, there are pairs of key value:
name_of_key=text_of_value

Just translate the values of the file.

Lines starting with semicolon (";") are comments. Read them in the english file for information about how to translate certain values.

The mptf.exe file isn't loading for me. I need the files since the ocx ones are missing.

found them online, but where do I put them? windows/system32?

yes...

however i think you shouldn't need them in XP or Vista. o

i'm in ubuntu with wine

you should use a "real" windows with WLM and Plus running natively to translate it. You can install windows in vmware, if you want to use ubuntu, but i suggest you not to run Plus in "emulated" mode (wine) because it may not display correctly... you have to make sure that your translated texts fit correctly, etc..

I have plus on a real xp machine, I just usually use ubuntu and would prefer translating there.

I attached the TranslationGuidelines.doc . But remember, that file is for Plus! v.3, so some codes may not be used in Plus! Live translation. But the logic is almost same. If you hesitate, check other translation files how they did some specific translations.

Also I'll suggest you to set the first Registry Setting "AlwaysReloadInterfaces" in http://www.msgpluslive.net/help/registry/ before starting to check your translation on the program's interface. I used this a lot while checking mine. For example, if a line doesn't fit the specified place on the software, you can shorten it in the file, then save the file, then re-open that Plus! window. This registry setting will save you to Exit Messenger and then restart it to check every minor change in the file.

I wish to offer the variant of translation for version Messenger Plus! Live 4.80
It is my first translation. I accept all necessary remarks.
It correctly works on my personal computer.
Thanks.

A new translation for version Messenger Plus! Live 4.81
