User Interface translations have begun for FAR HTML 5 build 732. Note that there are too many strings in FAR to translate. Our current aim is to translate just the main windows. FAR is Unicode so you can flip between languages without changing Windows region settings. However make sure you have the correct language packs installed otherwise text wont display correctly. Translate InfoDownload and Install the latest FAR HTML Beta. Contact us is you need help. Language translation files live In the same folder as FAR.exe and are of the form FAR.lang.XXX, whereXXX is the language code (E.G For German XXX="de"). These are simple Unicode text files. No compilation is required. You see the changes as soon as you reload the language file. If you run FAR on say a German machine we automatically look for the translation file FAR.lang.de. If the "de" language file is not found we remain in English (the default language). FAR menu command "Options > Set UI Language" allows you to load a language other than the default. Available Language
You could make up your own codes. However the codes above should be used if you want FAR to detect and auto-load the language. How to TranslateBecause of file protection in c:\program files\ I suggest you copy the FAR install folder outside c:\program files and work from there. If your language is not found make a copy of the file FAR.lang.en (in the same folder as FAR.exe). For a German translation rename this copy to FAR.lang.de. For a Japanese translation rename this copy to FAR.lang.jp. etc (See the "Code" column in the table above for a list of valid language codes). Your language file must be UNICODE encoded, same as the FAR.lang.en file. Open the file in Windows Notepad (or any Unicode text editor). The lang file contains lines like ResStrgID=Some Text: %1 |Some Text %2|Some Text: %3 More text.
TestingMake sure your FAR.lang.XXX file is in the same folder as FAR.exe. Open FAR and from the Options menu select "Set UI Language". Select your language. |
