How to create a languagefile:

First, before you start to translate MyPhoneExplorer please write a short mail to me. So i can check if there is anybody else working on your translation.

Basicly a languagefile is a ini-file with extension *.lng. It would be possible to edit those files with notepad, but its recommened to use Initranslator. With this application you can work very easy and efficient with languagefiles.

Start Initranslator and open the file [MyPhoneExplorer-directory]\languages\English.lng as original file. Please only use English.lng or German.lng as basefile for your language, cause only this two files are sure complete and correct. Translate all strings and then save the new languagefile in the languagedirectory of MyPhoneExplorer. As filename you choose the name of the language.

Some notes for the translationstrings:

- %1,%2,%3,... are variable values which will be replaced from MyPhoneExplorer at runtime
- %n represents a linebreak
- | is used as seperator for lists,etc..
- & is specially used in menues to represent the underlined character (prefix)

If your languagefile is ready please mail it to my so i can add it to future versions of MyPhoneExplorer
I will add your name and optional weblink in the creditswindow of MyPhoneExplorer
