Rockbox mail archiveSubject: loadable languageloadable language
From: Daniel Stenberg <daniel_at_haxx.se>
Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2002 16:12:33 +0200 (MET DST) I've just recently committed code that allows users to load .lng files to replace the internal language strings with a custom version. The .lng files are created with the new 'binlang' utility in the tools directory. This puts the following restrictions on new and old strings: 1. When you add new strings to english.lang, they must be added last in the file. 2. When you remove strings, don't remove them from english.lang, just make the string empty. If these rules are not followed, we must bump the language file header version (which we will attempt to do not more often than for each release). Also, we can still use the existing system to select built-in language using the configure script but binary releases from rockbox.haxx.se are likely to only be using english built-in. We're working on making the selected language file saved so that reboots will use the previously selected language file (which is the same as with fonts and wps files too). Any day now, we will provide automaticly generated .lng files from the rockbox site, so the average user doesn't need to generate anything, just download their favourite language(s). Thanks to all translators for their efforts. -- Daniel "Bagder" Stenberg -- http://rockbox.haxx.se/Received on 2002-09-24 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
