rocksoccer Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I mean many software just load entries from a .ini file or some files they specify the extention name by themselves. it is very convenient to edit that type of files with notepad. Below is just an example of language file for Bitcomet. For translators, they just need to edit this file to create another language version. the file will not be compiled into any exe file, just out side, maybe in a directory named "lang" ------------------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?> - - - 新建HTTP/FTP任务(&N) (Ctrl+N) æ‰¹é‡ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Brown Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 In a future version - why not make languages load as dependancies like plugins - rather than compiled into the main assembly? Isn't that more logical? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brewster Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 In a future version - why not make languages load as dependancies like plugins - rather than compiled into the main assembly? Isn't that more logical? Just noticed this post again because a spammer was making the rounds -- but anyway, to answer this ... Language files aren't built-in to the main assembly. They are treated as plugins, in a way. However, from the standpoint of packaging an installer, they are fairly static. If I want to add a language to Paint.NET, that means I need to push out a newly packaged installer EXE. And that means pushing out 1.5mb via the auto-updater and getting all the mirrors (BetaNews, download.com, etc.) to host the new file. It's much more practical to only release new languages with an honestly new version. That way people who won't be using that new language won't be downloading 1.5mb for no benefit. Adding a feature to the installer, such as, "Choose language file..." to the language choice dropdown, has all sorts of logistical problems of its own. How would a non-English speaker understand what "Choose language file..." means? How would they know where to find the language file in the first place? It just wouldn't scale beyond a small subset of people, and as such would not have much benefit but with the cost of a lot of work/time.

I suggest using a listbox for this, each language could be listed (in its own, of course), with no understanding of the term "language" required.
