Are you interested in a translation?

[Y-PLONI]

Is your feature request related to a problem?
I like that the programs I use are in my language

Describe the solution you'd like
Translate the software into my language

Describe alternatives you've considered
I am ready to do it myself, but I will need the consent of the software developer and a short tutorial - which files to handle.

To which language do you want to translate the program?

[Y-PLONI]

But it will help everyone. It turns out that more people will be happy to translate.
Hebrew

I have to inform you that I haven't tested right-to-left languages at all. However, if you want to try, do the following:

• First, read the contribution guidelines to know how to make your fork and to what branch it should affect
• Then, run my "three-letter representation of Windows language names" program to know the language code for the one you want to translate to
• Next, start translating!

Translation guide

You must add the translations to each Select Case MainForm.Language and Select Case Language statements. Also, add main window translations in the ChangeLangs procedure:

You also have to provide translations twice: one time for automatic language detection (Case 0) and another time for when the user manually sets the language (since there are 4 languages supported, your case is Case 5)

In the Case 0 blocks, the language code is important. Insert a new line and add Case <Three-Letter-Rep> at the end of the blocks (<Three-Letter-Rep> is the three-letter representation of your language name)

Note

Since Hebrew is a right-to-left language, add code to set the right-to-left layout by enabling this property:

RightToLeft = Windows.Forms.RightToLeft.Yes

If that doesn't work, try setting up the RightToLeftLayout property to True as well

After having basic translations, add your language item to the ComboBox3 in the Options window:

If you have more questions, feel free to ask them

@Y-PLONI, how are the translations going?

[Y-PLONI]

I didn't like to admit, but I got in trouble with the instructions... I'm more about translation, not programming .Can you give me a specific file for treatment? If so, I can just download it and translate, and upload it to you in this thread.
@CodingWonders

[CodingWonders]

Everything in quotation marks is a string, which you can replace to add your translations. That is the basic bit. The properties are just for right-to-left languages.

If you want, you can just work on the translations. I'll add the right-to-left property. You will need to add your language to the ComboBox though

I know how to translate strings...
I need a direct link to the file that I need to translate.

Follow the contribution guidelines to get started, and then begin translating the strings in all .vb files

@CodingWonders

Could you please consider to collect all strings to translate in a file or in a group of iles that contain only strings to translate?
For me could help the translator a lot.

[CodingWonders]

In the future, I will put all language translations in files and make the program parse them.

@CodingWonders

Thanks a lot.
Now it's quite long and difficult to translate strings one by one in all .vb file.
I believe that the new layout (all strings in separate file) will help and speedup translations.

[CodingWonders]

I believe that the new layout (all strings in separate file) will help and speedup translations.

This is what I think will be the way for translations:

There's an interesting INI parser library the program could use to get the values of translations.

I want to use it on other things first before using it for language files.
