Translate into any language
GliderScore can translate practically everything on screen (and on
reports) into ANY language.
There is only one requirement to make this all happen.
- A language file MyLanguage.lng must exist in folder C:\GliderScore6.
Select a language from the list and translation happens instantly.
Ukrainian is selected as an example.
It helps a lot to know somebody who can translate English words into your
language. Translation software such as Google Translate can help.
See below for an example of a translated screen and further below for
instructions on making (or editing) your own language file.
This screen was translated according to the words in the file Ukrainian.lng.
All screens are translated in a similar way.
All of the critical user interface text is available for translation and this should enable anyone to use the program.
Files are available for Chinese, Czech, Danish, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian,
Russian, Slovakian, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish and Ukrainian as well as English.
These files are available from the Download page.
Create Your Own Language File
In fact there must be at least two language files for translation to occur.
English.lng and YourLanguage.lng.
The file 'English.lng' always exists and is re-created every time the program runs so you do not have
to do anything with it.
However 'English.lng' can be used as a starting point for a new language file. Just copy it to make a new file
called Mylanguage.lng.
Then replace all the english words with words in your own language.
Place your new file in folder C:\GliderScore6, and run the program. GliderScore will
add your language to the list so that you can select it. Once selected, translation takes
place for all translated words.
The numbers provide the link that enables translation.
The program takes care of limited formatting, stripping out double-quote marks,
removing leading spaces, trailing spaces and tab characters.
Submit Completed Translations for the benefit of others.
Because the language files are computer generated, they will generally be incomplete
and quite possibly inaccurate translations of the file English.lng.
If you have a complete translation for your language, please send your file to me and I will
either add it to the downloads or use it to replace an existing download so that others can benefit.
Download Language Files
I have created some 'starter' language files using Google Translate. I have no idea
how good (or bad) the translation is. In some cases I believe that it is quite bad,
but not always. You can and should correct the translations in these files.
Go to the Download page to download Translations.zip, a 'package' of language files.
