Localization


Where can I download WordHacker localization language package?

Please visit http://www.wordhacker.com/help/localization.htm. We publish WordHacker localization language package here. You can download a language package and unzip it into WordHacker\Languages dirctory. Then you can select the language on Settings page.

How to localize WordHacker interface to my local language if there is no fit language package?

Open WordHacker\Languages directory first.

1. Copy English Directory to xxx directory (where xxx is your local language name)

2. Open *.lng files in xxx directory with NodePad and translate the text after the letter '=' into your local language.

For example:
Jumpto_Lab.Caption=Goto

Translate it into :
Jumpto_Lab.Caption=Goto in your local language

3. The head part of each *.lng file is like below:

[UserInterface]
Form.FontCharset=1
Form.FontName=MS Sans Serif
Form.FontSize=8

You can change the value after the letter = to change the form's font.
You can get the proper value of FontName and FontSize from the windows font dialog box.
Please use the normal local font in your Windows system.
About FontCharset please keep it as 1 . So font is chosen based solely on Name and Size.
If the described font is not available on the system, Windows will substitute another font.


4. Test
Select the language in Settings page and restart WordHacker to check if all of text in WordHacker interface has been translated into your local language.

5. If some controls on the form only show part of the text, you can add some lines as below to change their size. For example, with Jumpto_Lab we can add :

Jumpto_Lab.Width=40
Jumpto_Lab.Height=30

6. Zip the xxx directory and send it to localization@wordhacker.com with the serial number (SN) of your WordHacker. SN is on About page.


We'll send you a WordHacker registration code to thank you for your efforts. It's Free. :)
