Starting with V0.52, XFolder is capable of supporting other languages than just English. (Finally.)
The XFolder base package includes language support for English and German.
The install program will install the language which you selected there. No additional
actions are neccessary.
For languages other than English and German however, you will need an
XFolder National Language Support (NLS) package.
Such a package will contain a number of files, among them
a new Dynamic Link Library (DLL) for XFolder itself,
a new help file (.HLP) and a new Online Reference (.INF).
Each of these files carries a three-digit
language code in its respective file name, as defined in the
OS/2 Online Reference. For example, the English files, which are already
included with XFolder, all have a "001" code (for US English) in their names.
Please check my homepage
for available NLS packages.
In order to install an NLS package, perform the following steps:
- Unzip the NLS package and place the resulting files in the corresponding
subdirectories of the XFolder installation directory.
- In the
"Workplace Shell" object, select the "XFolder Internals"
page (which comes after the first "XFolder" page).
- In the "Language" field you should now find the new language of the NLS
package. Select it, upon which the "Workplace Shell" object should be closed and the
language should change.
I don't have much influence on NLS DLLs, except for the German one.
If you're interested in translating XFolder to your language, please
contact me, and I will mail you the
neccessary files to do a complete translation.
You don't have to be a programmer to do this, but it would be of great help if you knew HTML,
since both XFolder's Online Reference and the help file were originally written in HTML and then simply
converted to the IBM format, which I dislike very much.
