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.

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?
Comments
Attitude is the roll, pitch, yaw... this is called the "Attitude" of the plane. Altitude would be the height off the ground or above sea level. I'm not exactly how you should translate it as it's not really an emotional kind of attitude. Like I've got a bad attitude. It's more like orientation.
Working on French (canadian) version... Quick question...
Attitude and Attitude_Data... what is this? should it be Altitude? or is it really Attitude llike behavior? let me know.

Happy, French is now complete. Just email you my last revision
Cheers,

Guys, I just posted another update which might be helpful. It still doesn't include my new resource editor but does allow for reloading of language files without leaving the program. If you save your resx and right click and compile to .resource... you can then hit F5 and it will reload your file. I also though there might be some use in being able to toggle between English and your selected language...just so you can see what text I had put in that location. This might be helpful when trying to shorten your translations. To toggle back and forth, you can hit F4 to get English and F5 to go back to your selected language. F9 will load the language editor.
No, only characters....why, what would you want a bmp or gif to represent?
not for each character but for each word
This is awesome....16 languages so far

Just as a heads up for those who have already (and are currently) sending me translations or revisions, I have changed the directions above to try to make life easier. It's not the final solution...but at least now you can compile and open the GCS to test your changes without having to wait on me. Take a look above at the revised steps 8 - 12. Please be sire to send me your completed strings.XX-XX.resources and strings.XX-XX.resx files! Thanks again!
