NewView offers improvements such as a nicer user interface and more options. V2.4.17 * Multi-language support See the Readme. Anyone can create translations! * Turned off logging in new HelpMgr.dll * Fix for .ce centering e.g. switch footnotes in cmdref * Can find own help file using help paths Your help is needed! NewView can now load different languages (see below) but no translations yet exist. Anybody can create them with no extra tools required. It would be nice to get a German translation soon so it could be included in eCS1.1/German. Multi-lingual Support --------------------- NewView can now load different languages for it's user interface. It looks for a file called LANG.lng in it's own directory, where LANG is the setting of the LANG environment variable. For example, on US systems LANG=EN_US so it will look for EN_US.lng. If it cannot find that, it tries looking for the major part of the LANG variable, for example EN.lng. If it cannot find that, the default is US English (which is built into NewView). You can easily create a translation file for NewView. Use Tools - Debug - Save/Update Language to create a new .lng file (you can call it what you like, but follow the rules above if you want NewView to load it automatically). This .lng file will contain all the text items that NewView uses. Translate the text and save it, then NewView will use it. You don't need to tell me about your translation files, but if you do I will include them with NewView when I release it. At this time, no translations have been done. -- aaronl at consultant dot com http://homepages.visp.co.nz/~aaronlawrence ...Gross Ignorance: 144 times worse than ordinary ignorance. ---END FORWARDED MESSAGE--- -- From the eComStation of Mark Dodel http://www.os2voice.org Warpstock 2003, San Francisco, October 18-19th - http://www.warpstock.org [Moderator's note: Because of the incredible increase in SPAM lately I will now endeavor to add DESPAM to email addresses in all posts to the News list.
