So you don't need my file?
OK

Euh... it says 'Runtime Error 5' on my Win98SE machine when I select two language files (the file that I'm going to save to is empty). Is this a bug or a known issue?

the program gives me an error of a missing file..

i search the german language, for the version 2.20

Choli, I suggest you upload a setup file, besides the singal program .exe file. Users without Visual Basic may encounter file missing problem.

Oh yes, please send it to me. Although I think my program will show WinXP styles well, I'd like to see your file. Please send it.

Well, at first Windows 9x/Me isn't supported but I've made some changes to support some languages (Spanish, French, and few more) so you should use Windows NT/2K/XP.
And about the error... I think that the language file you are trying to open (as if it was DefaultLg.dat) contains a line without the equal ("=") sign. That is due to a bad translation of that file (the translator of that file put a carriage return into a value). In the next version that will be fixed, but if not... don't try to open language files instead of DefaultLg.dat.
BTW, there is no problem is you select an empty or inexistent file to save, but it's much better to put (manually) the sections [FileInfo] and [Font] (if reqiuered) before using the prog. That way you won't get wrong saved files if using complex languages.

The program requieres the Visual Basic 6 RunTime files.

Well but I won't upload here because it's very large. I'll put the link on the first post when it'll be ready (I think no more 1 hour later).

Edit:
Updated the program. at the first post. Also put there a link to the requiered files (VB runtime). If any other file is requiered, let me know and I'll update them. Mippo's bug should be corrected now. The program should have XP style (in XP, of course ). Some minor things have been corrected and/or improved. And RTL languages.... well, I've changed something. The are not saved correctly but are they shown well? Wiht right-alignment? left-alignment? RTL languages are harder to be supported than I imagined.
* Choli slaps RTL languages again around a bit with a large trout.

Great program!! Although I give a few recommendations...

1.- Instead of setting an item to english as default when it doesn't exist, and saving it that way, leave it blank so it is easier to see what translations are missing.

2.- Or even better, in the left where there are all the items to translate, set the item on bold if it isn't set to it's translation yet. This helps a lot for new versions of Plus that only need updates!

All in all this is a great program. good job!

Hebrew is worse now...... if it was inconvinient to work with before, it is impossible now.
The letters show up fine, however everything goes backwards, the letters and the words (reverse order of the entire string). Very strange.


And I'm still waiting for that implementation of \n, \t and &....

OK, the runtime error 5 is gone now.

I open DefaultLg.dat and another file (empty). I click on a string. Nothing but "?????????????". I click another string and it says first "You have changed something, would you like to save it now?" and I've changed nothing! Then it goes to the other string, again "???????????????" or sometimes "??????4?????" or "??????????5?". Has this something to do with the Unicode?

When you said the text was wrong, i didn't know what was wrong, so i was testing

reverse all the string or only the parts of the string in Hebrew?
the order of the letters or of the words?

sometimes \n should be \r\n and so I won't implement \n (i don't know when it should be \n or \r\n
\t and & is comming...

That's because the file was empty and there are some text written in the translation box. That won't happen in the next release, because I'll do what ^ASM^said

Yes, I'm sorry, but win98 doesn't handle unicode so it shows the default character for a unable-to-be-displayed unicode character: "?"

This time there isn't any new version. I was doing a program to Install theMessenger Plus! Tab. Don't worry, soon there will be.
