Understood. So, if the word Copyright is included in the information from the plugin itself, the string SettingsDialog.Plugins.SupportInfo.Copyright.Format is omitted. Ain't that clever?

Mouse Over Tool Tips There are a couple of tool settings that do not show Mouse-Over Tool Tips. It would be helpful to (new) users if they were.

Rick, Please look at the screen capture once again.I would have expected the word "Copyright" to have been translated in Dutch (like Auteur and Locatie). I am talking about Files.AboutCredits.rtf, Icons.FontBoldIcon.png, Icons.FontItalicIcon.png and Icons.FontUnderlineIcon.png. They were used in the About dialogue and to replace the font settings icons with the Text Tool. They appear to be (yet) not used. Cheers, Stephan

Translation things: SettingsDialog.Plugins.SupportInfo.Copyright.Format appears to be not translated. (See attached screen capture) Faulty reference in source code? The additional localization files in subfolder "Resources" are no longer used? paint.net does not yet scan for PaintDotNet.Strings.4.*.resources files paint.net appears to have undergone a name change: no capitals. Does this apply to ALL instances of the name, including at the start of a sentence? Otherwise no problems updating the Dutch translation. When would be the appropriate time to share them on the forum? Stephan

I suppose I jumped the boat way too early

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, Stephan

Hi Rick, What are the chances of Paint.Net being ported to the upcoming Windows 8 RT tables? Stephan

Dropbox-link voor de Nederlandstalige offline Help lijkt weer functioneel

Verbeterde versie beschikbaar. De correcties en aanpassingen zijn o.a. n.a.v. Fred Hoekstra's vertaling van de HELP. Download en installatie-instructies: post #12 in deze discussie. Merk op dat er nu twee Nederlandstalige pakketten beschikbaar zijn: NL-vertaling van het programma PdN. Kleine download (88kB) vanaf dit forum. Download: post #12 in deze discussie. NL-vertaling van het programma PdN PLUS de complete HELP in NL voor lokale installatie. Grote download (16 MB) vanaf Dropbox. Download: via post #5 in discussie Nederlands vertaling help files. Enjoy, Stephan

Volgens mij heb je de "Edit" functie al ontdekt. "Edit" je allereerste bericht in deze discussie. Als je vervolgens klikt op "Use Full Editor", dan kan je ook de titel aanpassen. Ik zal de komende week even experimenteren met je Help bestanden. Stephan

Hai Fred, 15MB laat zich ook moeilijk e-mailen. Waar zit het zwaartepunt van de 15MB? Het zal niet de html zijn. Afbeeldingen misschien? Misschien is daar iets te doen met lagere resoluties en/of kleurdiepte. Volgens mij moet het mogelijk zijn de titel van je eerste post aan te passen zodat het "Nederlandse vertaling help files" wordt. Dat zou iets beter staan. Stephan

I use SUMo (Software Updates Monitor) to regularly scan for new versions of my programs. With PdN 3.5.10, SUMo fires an error message: "Empty / Invalid version", which - I assume - implies that it cannot find the version number in the executable. Could it be that the version numbering in the paint.dot.net.exe has gone gaga? I'll report this with the producer of SUMo as well, in case there is something to do on his side. Stephan

Als het menu "Utilities - Language" geen Nederlands laat zien (zie afbeelding in bijlage), dan is het ZIP-bestand NIET op de juiste plek uitgepakt. Pak het zip-bestand uit in map C:\Program Files\Paint.NET OF Kopieer de bestanden uit het zip-bestand naar de map C:\Program Files\Paint.NET (Eigenlijk is alleen het bestand PaintDotNet.Strings.3.NL.resources echt essentieel, maar de rest kan geen kwaad) Afhankelijk van je versie van Windows heb je hiervoor Administrator-rechten nodig, of moet je hiervoor expliciet toestemming geven. DAARNA Paint.NET (her-)starten en de taal wijzigen m.b.v. "Utilities - Language"

Tja, ik kan je niet helpen met Winrar. Je moet de bestanden (met Winrar of WinZIP of 7Zip of gewoon de Windows Verkenner) uitpakken en kopiëren naar c:\Program Files\Paint.Net\ Hiervoor heb je Administrator-rechten nodig, dus misschien moet je eerst opnieuw aanmelden als Administrator/Beheerder Daarna kan je Winrar en het zip-bestand 'vergeten' Paint.Net 'gewoon' opstarten en met het menu Utilities - Language (Beheer - Taal) Nederlands kiezen Eenvoudiger kan ik het niet uitleggen. Kind kan de was doen. Honderden hebben het ook zo gedaan. Anders moet je er maar even iemand bijhalen die beter thuis is met computers.

Lees de instructies nog eens goed. Je moet het zip-bestand uitpakken en daarna 'gewoon' Paint.Net opstarten. (De .exe's in de zip zijn toegevoegd opdat iedereen - zo nodig - de gehele NL-vertaling kan 'overnemen'.) Stephan

Vreemd dat het bestand verdwenen was. Ik heb het gefixed. Stephan

I looked at LiberKey and tried to download their portable PdN. I can't download it using a regular webbrowser. (download-link: lbk://app.update.liberkey/paint-net.en) It has to be downloaded (and executed) from within their LiberKey environment, which is a barrier to me. PortableApps also offer a convenient USB-key start-menu shell environment-thing, but you do not have to use this. A Paint.Net Portable à la PortableApps, could be installed on any USB-key and executed independent from the PortableApps shell (as long as .Net is available on the host computer). That's an advantage. Eagle00789, where would we be able to download your latest "paintdotnet_3.5.8_portable.paf.exe"? Stephan

Maybe the latest version of PdN will do some good here. Forum rules #7

Hierbij een UPDATE van de Nederlandse vertaling voor Paint.NET versie 3.5.x Meer plezier met Paint.NET 3.5.x in het Nederlands. Stephan [Edit] .zip vernieuwd (29/12/2011) [Edit] toevoeging aan instructies (07/01/2012) PaintDotNet.Strings.3.NL.zip

You'll need video editing software. Why don't you check with the experts at videohelp.com

Hi, Would it be possible to create a plugin (or standard feature) that would allow us to select a rectangular area at a fixed width/heigth ratio? See JPEGCrops. Procedure: Load photo click "fixed-ratio-crop" tool choose desired width/heigth ratio select part of image (ratio is automatically maintained) hand-tool allows repositioning the selection-frame "Crop" button crops the image I would very much like to see such a feature under Effect|Photo. Maybe it's not that difficult for an experienced plug-in developer. Thanks, Stephan

Bedankt Mitch, Ik houd je suggestie in gedachten. Stephan

The help files are online only. http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/en/index.html I dared not enter that realm. Far too much work for me. And, the online help system comes with translations courtesy http://www.microsofttranslator.com/ I figured that'd be just fine. Stephan

Well, the source file PaintDotNet.Strings.3.resx consists of 3446 lines of code, which roughly hold 1085 strings for you to translate. That in itself is a bit of work. The main challenge though is to maintain consistency throughout your translations, as well as relative to other localised software out there, such as Windows itself, MS Office, OpenOffice, GIMP and whatnot. I wouldn't be able to put a number to the amount of hours involved. The complete reorganisation of the Dutch language strings going from version 3.0 to 3.5, plus the completion of some 10% untranslated strings took me about two weeks elapsed time. Maybe 16 hours? But that was based upon an existing translation file. I'd recommend to open both the original English file and your work copy in WinMerge, so that you can keep track of the different strings. Oh, and do use the ResxCheck tool to verify consistency of your translation before going public. I hope this helps. Stephan PS. I just found another small tool for more convenient translation of .resx files: Resx Editor. A quick check with my PaintDotNet.Strings.3.NL.resx file showed that it works quite well.
