Hello.
I tried to make lng file for russian and i can't do it. It's not correct make translation for our native language.
For example:
my translation

code:

---

LanguageNameLocal=Ðóññêèé
MenuPreferences=&Íàñòðîéêè...

---

convert to

code:

---

LanguageNameLocal=?onneee
MenuPreferences=&Iano?ieee...

---

Maybe it's not support some codepage or convertion is not right?

And one more:
when choose file in file types is Translated files (Lang_*.ini) but must be Translated files (Lng_*.ini)
(i'm use Messenger Plus! Live 4.11.254)

(sorry for my bad english =)

can you tell me which version of windows you have?

maybe. Note that you must start with a non-empty file. I mean, the translator reads some information form the file to (try to) display it correctly. That information includes at least the "character set" and the "rigth to left" keys in the first sections sections of the file. Maybe that's your problem.

Also when you create your file, assure you save it in Unicode format

yeah, it's a known limitation. In Plus! 2 and Plus! 3, language files were names Lang_*.ini but now in Plus Live 4 they're Lng_*.ini. That will be fixed in the next version of the translator, which i'll release..... i don't know when Maybe someday I have nothing to do and continue coding it (it's already in progress)


just before clicking "Post Reply".... i'm thinking now that the CharacterSet key does no longer exist in the files of Plus 4. If you want, you can create it temporally in order this translator works correctly:

code:

---

[Font]
CharacterSet=put_here_your_char_set

After click in "..." button (at right of the field "Original file"), select "All files *.*" in bottom combo in this window. So, you look all "Lng_???.ini" files.
But, the update of Translator (great software!) is well coming!!!

why I cant  start that translator every time is
"Run-time error '339':
Component 'Richtx32.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"

Thanks

If someone doesn't  now how to insert e.g. Ðóññêèé go to control panel-Regional and lang...-languages -details. and then select your language!

It is very useful but it has something that annoys me very much. When you select another key, it goes back to English and so I have to push
Shift+Alt in order to go back to my original language and translate the key. Could this be fixed? Thanks.

? What do you mean? If I select another key to be translated, the focus is still in the treeview. Nothing is 'switched' to English. And Shift+Alt isn't a real key combination. It doens't do anything.

Anyways, the Translator program can indeed use some small updates, but it has been a very long time since Choli made it and he also once said he wont make any updates since it does still work though.

I would be glad to aid Choli in case he doesn't have the time though

Shift + Alt is used to change language. So, I have Greek as my language and when I finish translating a key and move to another, it goes back to English. That is what I mean.
