<title>Adding New Languages</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
This file documents the necessary procedure for adding a new
|
|
language to the list of languages that Wine can display system
|
|
menus and forms in. Adding new translations is not hard as
|
|
it requires no programming knowledge or special skills.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Language dependent resources reside in files
|
|
named <filename>somefile_Xx.rc</filename> or
|
|
<filename>Xx.rc</filename>, where <literal>Xx</literal>
|
|
is your language abbreviation (look for it in
|
|
<filename>include/winnls.h</filename>). These are included
|
|
in a master file named <filename>somefile.rc</filename> or
|
|
<filename>rsrc.rc</filename>, located in the same
|
|
directory as the language files.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
To add a new language to one of these resources you
|
|
need to make a copy of the English resource (located
|
|
in the <filename>somefile_En.rc</filename> file) over to
|
|
your <filename>somefile_Xx.rc</filename> file, include this
|
|
file in the master <filename>somefile.rc</filename> file,
|
|
and edit the new file to translate the English text.
|
|
You may also need to rearrange some of the controls
|
|
to better fit the newly translated strings. Test your changes
|
|
to make sure they properly layout on the screen.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
In menus, the character "&" means that the next
|
|
character will be highlighted and that pressing that
|
|
letter will select the item. You should place these
|
|
"&" characters suitably for your language, not just
|
|
copy the positions from English. In particular,
|
|
items within one menu should have different highlighted
|
|
letters.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
To get a list of the files that need translating,
|
|
run the following command in the root of your Wine tree:
|
|
<command>find -name "*En.rc"</command>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
When adding a new language, also make sure the parameters
|
|
defined in <filename>./dlls/kernel/nls/*.nls</filename>
|
|
fit your local habits and language.
