# You need to have FlightGear installed on your computer ofcourse. For example: FlightGear on Windows is in the directory: <tt>C:\Program Files\FlightGear-1.0.0</tt>. Strings to translate are between the XML tags <label> and <legend>. | |||
# You need to translate the english strings in the xml file <tt>C:\Program Files\FlightGear-1.0.0\data\gui\menubar.xml. For example, in the file menubar.xml, the english text string <label>Save</label> will become <label>Sauvegarder</label> in French. | |||
# You need to translate the english strings in the xml files that are in the directory <tt>C:\Program Files\FlightGear-1.0.0\data\gui\dialogs</tt> | |||
#* Create a copy of the file <tt>C:\Program Files\FlightGear-1.0.0\data\Translations\strings-default.xml</tt> in the directory <tt>C:\Program Files\FlightGear-1.0.0\data\Translations</tt>. | |||
#* Rename the copy of the file strings-default.xml with a new name like strings-language_code.xml where language_code is the international code for your language. For example , fr for french or de for German. | |||
# Translate all the English text strings in your strings-language_code.xml file in your language. | |||
# Edit the file <tt>C:\Program Files\FlightGear-1.0.0\data\Translations\locale.xml</tt> and add the section for your language: | |||
<locale> | |||
<lang type="string">language_code</lang> | |||
<lang type="string">language_code.character_set</lang> | |||
<strings>Translations/strings-language_code.xml</strings> | |||
</locale> | |||
For example, in german, you have this : | |||
<locale> | |||
<lang type="string">de</lang> | |||
<lang type="string">de_AT</lang> | |||
<lang type="string">de_CH</lang> | |||
<lang type="string">de_AT.ISO8859-15</lang> | |||
<lang type="string">de_DE.ISO8859-15</lang> | |||
<lang type="string">de_CH.ISO8859-15</lang> | |||
<strings>Translations/strings-de.xml</strings> | |||
</locale> | |||
