- Translating Zaphod to other languages
-
- If you want to use the Zaphod Binary Editor in other languages than german or
- englisch, feel free to translate it to your preferred language!
- You just have to fill the empty lines in "zaphod.ct.empty" with contents that
- correspond to the english phrase on line below.
-
- See the following as an example:
-
- This is the beginning of "zaphod.ct.empty":
- --- snip ---
- ## version $VER: XX.catalog XX.XX (XX.XX.XX)
- ## codeset 0
- ## language xx
- ;;
- ; Katalogbeschreibungsdatei für 'Zaphod'
- MSG_OKAY
-
- ;; Okay;
- ;;
- ;
- MSG_CANCEL
- ...
- --- snap ---
-
- The same file after adding phrases for a german catalog:
- --- snip ---
- ## version $VER: deutsch.catalog 1.0 (24.07.93)
- ## codeset 0
- ## language deutsch
- ;;
- ; Katalogbeschreibungsdatei für 'Zaphod'
- MSG_OKAY
- Benutzen
- ;; Okay;
- ;;
- ;
- MSG_CANCEL
- Abbrechen
- ;; Cancel;
- ;;
- ...
- --- snap ---
-
- If you want to create a catalog for a new language for Zaphod, please send me
- a short EMail notice about it, so I can check if this language is still needed
- or if there was someone else who has already created a catalog for this
- language. Send your EMail to
-
- aeglos@valinor.ms.sub.org
- or aeglos@uni-paderborn.de
- or q99492@pbhrzx.uni-paderborn.de
-
- When you send your new catalog, please put it into some archive (Lha or GNU zip)
- and uuencode it, because of the special characters (like ä,á,à,å,...) that might
- be in it and that might get lost over EMail transport.
-
- Have fun!
