Language File Translation Instructions:

1) Download the latest GCS software: http://code.google.com/p/happykillmore-gcs/downloads/list
2) Open the Ground Control Station and Click Help, About
3) Make note of the "Current Culture" above the OK button.
4) Press the "F9" key on your keyboard
5) In the program that opens, Click the "Browse Button" and select Strings.resx in the installation folder (if it's missing, download it here: http://www.happykillmore.com/Software/HK_GCS/strings.zip unzip and save it in C:\Program Files\HappyKillmore\GCS)
6) Translate the "Value" column only. Do not change anything in the other columns.
7) When finished, click Save.

8) Send me an email (happy@happykillmore.com) including your "Current Culture:" value from step #3, what you'd like to call your language (ie: Español instead of Spanish....I'm going to add an option to override the OS selection) and attach the strings.resx file. I will compile your resx file and send it back to you for review. Place the file I send back in your C:\Program Files\HappyKillmore\GCS\Language folder.


- or with GCS v1.1.8 or newer -

 

8) Open C:\Program Files\HappyKillmore\GCS\Language and rename the edited strings.resx file to strings.XX-XX.resx where XX-XX is your Current Culture from Step #3 (ie strings.pl-PL.resx).

9) Right click on this file and select Open With -> ResXtoResource.exe

10) If this is a new file, then double click the Languages.txt file and add a reference to your new file including XX-XX;{Language Name} (ie pl-PL;Polski)

A few notes about translating

**** Save early and save often! Some users have reported problems saving their file once they're already done translating!!! Try translating a couple and then SAVE! It might save LOTS of wasted effort if you get to the end and then cannot save!!!
1) Anywhere there is a carrat (^) that's a carriage return + new line. Please include this in your string.
2) Anywhere you wee &1 or &2 these are replacement variables which means a number or some other text will be inserted in the string. Please make sure to include these as well.
3) The available space for text is very small, please be as brief as possible.
4) Please keep track of how long it takes (I'm curious) and please let me know if there's anything confusing in there. I can add more comments to the English language file to make things earier.

5) Watch out for abbreviations. There are some VERY short (only 1 letter) translations for things like Right and Left = R and L. Also, things like MPH (Miles per hour) need to be very short. So abbreviate where you can.

For those who downloaded 1.1.0...I forgot to include the program that pops up with the "F9" button. 1.1.1 has it...sorry about that.

Thank you for your time and effort!!!!!


PS, I found the trees in Google Earth! California is hogging all of them!

 

 

See how the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,etc stick out like a sore thumb?

Correction....da-DK is DANISH

Comment by Simone Chiaretta on December 16, 2010 at 1:18am

Not sure it-CH;Italiano will be understood as Italian by the OS.

If a language has more variation (like Italian which has it-IT and it-CH) but have just one, you should just name it as the main language (it for Italian).

 

Also, I haven't checked it yet, but do you also support metric system (km/h, meter) or just the imperial system (mph, ft)?

Comment by Simone Chiaretta on December 16, 2010 at 1:20am

Alternatively, if you can send me the it-CH version I can check if it is correct for Italian as well (and not just the strange Italian spoken in Canton Ticino and Grigioni) and then make it it-IT

Hi,

i can translate it to Dutch tonight. However, I was wondering, when seeing a lot of the words to be translated, I'm thinking that they will sound rather funny in Dutch. A lot of words are just more commonly used in English when working with electronic equipment, eventhough there is a proper Dutch translation.

Anyone has for instance Photoshop in their native language and just thinks it's rediculous? I don't know if anyone else forsees such a thing in their native languages for the GCS?

I'm thinking to translate the words that make sense to translate, and leave the other ones be. What do you think?
