All,
I have a new version of the resource editor available here:
http://beersmith.com/download/BResource.zip The most important change is the ability to "MERGE" resource files so you can keep up with the latest releases of BeerSmith as they are released.
Here's how to use it: - Unzip the BResource.zip to its own directory - the program BResource.exe is inside as well as the Lang.xml file to translate
- Load BResource.exe
- Open Lang.xml with the program and make changes as needed to translate the program
- NOTE - if you get an error "Had to remap resources... when loading a file, close that file without saving and reopen the program (known bug).
- After you have some of the Lang.xml file translated, copy the Lang.xml file into the Program Files/BeerSmith2 directory (the same location where you have the actual BeerSmith 2 program installed).
Here's how to merge your existing Lang.xml with a new release of BeerSmith: - Load BResource.exe and make sure your existing Lang.xml file is open
- Use the Merge command on the file menu to open the file "Res.xml" for the latest version of BeerSmith which can be found in the main Program Files/BeerSmith2 directory (i.e. in the directory where the BeerSmith 2 program itself has been installed)
- The Merge command will read in and add the new resources from Res.xml without changing your existing Lang.xml translation
- Now you can click on the RID to sort resources by ID - the new ones added from Res.xml will always have the highest RID numbers. Using this method it is easy to see what was added in the new version so you can translate those new items
- As before, copy the Lang.xml file back to the main Program Files/BeerSmith2 directory to test the program translation.
Latest "Beta" build has improved language support!
- Today I posted an improved beta version of BeerSmith (Builds 2.0.51 and higher) which has just about every possible string in the Res.xml file
- I recommend downloading BeerSmith 2.0.51 or higher, then using the Merge command with the BResource editor above to merge in the latest build's Res.xml file before translating.
Here is build 51:
