Editing the Translations

 

The language translation file in C:\Program Files\FlashProManager\Language or C:\Program Files (x86)\FlashProManager\Language may be edited in three ways:

 

Some interface elements (captions, buttons, titles) can be edited directly by right clicking on the text.
With a text editor.  Be sure when saving the file to retain the UFT-16 encoding.
Using a translation application like Sisulizer to edit the translation files.
Google docs (create a spreadhseet, import the ini file, use a function like =GoogleTranslate(C1,"en", "es") to translate a cell)

 

Microsoft has translations for common application strings:

Translation

 

Care must be taken when translating to a new language to use the commonly accepted application term for an English word.  eg English 'Ok' used on buttons translates into Spanish as 'De acuerdo' but the common computing application translation is 'Aceptar'.

 

Importing new translations

 

Copy the translation file into the Language directory.
