Translation Paint.Net v4.0

[StephanP]

With the (upcoming) release of v3.5.11 there's also good news that v4.0 may not be too far away.

Having been involved in the Dutch translation of v3.1 and v3.5, I am interested to understand what to expect of the work involved in updating the translation to v4.0.

I remember that the migration from v3.1 to v3.5 was quite a handful, as the strings.resx file had been heavily restructured. It turned out into a redo-from-scratch with the old version as a [CTRL-F] lookup reference.

 

Rick,

Could you shine a light here?

 

Regards,

I would also like to say that if possible, being able to download the Strings.resx week or two in advance of the release would be very helpful.

 

Or during the alpha/beta stage having the .resx available for each release would be nice so that when the stable version is released, I could release the translation very quickly and start working on the help pages instead.

I suppose I jumped the boat way too early

Once the first public release of 4.0 is available, you'll have what you need. I don't plan on making lots of changes between alpha, beta, final. I don't have an assessment of how much of the strings have changed since 3.5. It's just not something I keep track of, and there are easy/quick ways to determine that anyway since there is tooling out there for working with RESX files.
