Localization Discussion

How does the PortableApps Menu determine what character encoding was used when the locale file was saved?

Case in point: I'm working with the swedish.locale file and when it's encoded with ISO-8859-1, national characters show up as expected. If it's encoded with UTF-8, the menu system displays garbled text instead of the national characters.

Technically, our national characters are represented as single bytes in ISO-8859-1 and as 2 bytes each in UTF-8.

amm....I made korean localization file..

At the moment the strings of Tile World Portable are in English only. I discussed with Patrick Patience if translations are possible. He asked me to post the strings here.

You have two possibilities to translate: First you can just translate the strings below and post your translation as a followup in this thread.

Second you can
- download the game editor Chip's Workshop and install it on your hard disk.

Currently CAFE Mod eXpresso only has language support for English, Spanish, and Latin American Spanish. I am looking for translators who can translate the .lng file into another language for me, because I only have limited French skills and free online translators are stinky :p.

Please, change only the values to the right of the =
Leave any word preceded by $ in place (if word needs to be moved for translation to make sense, move it, but do not translate that word)
And leave all `n in place.

The .lng is as follows:

[tray]
information=Information

Korean Translation (.locale file)

I'm posting the Korean translation...

I have some suggestions for changes in the Norwegian locale. «Innstillinger» and «Gjenopprett» are misspelt - and I can see some improvements to other parts of the translation. Like this:

We're missing our Spanish (International) translation for the upcoming platform release, so if anyone could put it together, you'd make fellow Spanish speakers very happy

i will thanks to anyone who try to make indonesian localization

i have another couple of things that need translation for JkDefrag Portable. I need translations for DE, ES, FR, IT, JA, pt-BR, pt-PT, zh-CN.

"...waiting on JkDefrag to finish running in the background"

*the above text meaning the process is running but the window is gone, not literally in the background of your view or anything. (Edit: this is a note, not a needed translation)

and

"Defragmented"
