[DOSBox Portable] installing german language (not KEYB)

Hello everybody,

i need some help installing the german language file in "DOSBox Portable". Maybe it´s the same problem with other languages, too.

I downloaded the file and put it into my \DOSBoxPortable\App\DOSBox\ where the original README.txt is located. (That seemed to be the directory similar to the "Application folder" mentioned in the instructions.)
Afterwards i changed the dosbox.conf from "language=" (standard setting) into "language=deutsch.lng"

When i then started DOSBox, it exited with the error message: "Exit to error: MSG:Can´t load messages: deutsch.lng"

For testing i also installed a normal DOSBox v0.72 and there it worked.
I recognized that the directory structure is different from the portable version. So i tried placing the file in some other folders, but it had always the same effect.

Does anybody have an idea on what went wrong? Where could be a difference between portable and normal version that may cause this problem?

Thanks for your help!

It works ...

...if You'll edit the right dosbox.conf Smile
Please edit /Data/settings/dosbox.conf

Tested with DOSBox-german-lang-070 (copy deutsch.lng to /App/DosBox)

German Layout and Welcome Message is present.

Marko

Thanks for the

Thanks for the response...

Unfortunately it didn´t work. Same error message again. Did you test it with the portable version?

By the way, with your info and a look into the readme of that portable-launcher i now understand the directory structure.

Regards

Yes, tested with last portable version ...

... and only portable.
Perhaps there are problems with a local installed version.

BTW: Please ignore all other tipps in the german lang readme. It only works, if You only edit this inf direct. Don't try to modify the ini from the DOSBOX promt! Don't start DOSBOX with additional parameters.

Simply set:

[dosbox]
language=deutsch.lng

[dos]
keyboardlayout=gr

So somewhere...

...in my system a former installation of DOSBox must have left its traces that are now confusing my portable version? Why is a "portable" application responding that much to the local installation? Strange!

But i believe you are right. I installed PortableDOSBox on another PortableAppsSuite running on my colleagues machine and setup of german language worked at first go.
Last thing will now be to test my usb stick on his machine... tomorrow. I will tell you the finding.

And i will have a look for that parts of an older DOSBox installation (that actually existed months before and has been uninstalled). Maybe there´s something left in registry.

Bye,
Traeumer.
