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)

11) Start the GCS and select File, Settings and select your new language.

12) Send me an email (happy@happykillmore.com) including what you'd like to call your language (ie: Español instead of Spanish and attach your strings.XX-XX.resources and strings.XX-XX.resx files

 

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!

  • HK are you using the i18n built in .net?

  • Happy, the recent release latest release setup_15122010f (v1.1.1) is okay.

    Complete translation from one language to another requires fonts of the other laguage but then how to go about it ?

    Regards

    Rana

  • Mikko, does the Mac have F-Keys? I have no clue. Never used one.

     

    You can run it manually by going in to the C:\Program Files\HappyKillmore\GCS folder and running Resource Editor.exe. For those missing the .resx file (which has the uncompiled language file...also missing from the installer) you can download it here: http://www.happykillmore.com/Software/HK_GCS/strings.zip

     

    Sorry for these issues. I had it all working last night. Not sure if I forgot to hit save on my installer script or what....

  • I'll give a try. I'll translate to Portuguese.

  • Thanks Happy!  Nice package.  F9 1.1.1 definitely works better than 1.1.0 - I was scratching my hair off about how to get F9 depressed and received by GCS in my MAC with 1.1.0... :)

  • I´d be happy to translate into Danish.
    Regards

  • Hi Happy !

    I tried to give an attempt to translate it in Hindi, but strings.resx file is not available in the main installation folder (C:\Program Files\HappyKillmore\GCS\Language) of the latest release setup_15122010e (v1.0.0).

    Regards

  • Very nice GCS. I am almost done with ArduCopter. I will use this GCS from My 1st Flight. 

  • Ahmad, thank you! Take a look at the post above again. I added directions.

     Also 1.1.0 did not include the editor program. 1.1.1 includes it.

  • I can help you to translate it in Urdu tell me how to do that
