AppTranslator - MegaPlot Software Translation Tool

AppTranslator is the MegaPlot software translation tool facilitating the user's interface translation process. Please use this application and the English source file to translate the MegaPlot software interface content into your language and MegaPlot will use your translation to prepare a new edition of the software available in your language.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
AppTranslator is compatible with operating systems supporting the UNICODE standard, i.e. any of the 32-bit Windows systems: NT/2000/XP/2003. Unicode symbols may not display properly on Windows 95/98/ME. Please contact MegaPlot if assistance is required.

STARTING A NEW TRANSLATION:
  1. Open the source file in English by clicking "File\Open source [CTRL+O]". It is an XML file and its filename should have the suffix "_US". It will open in the left window.
  2. Click "File\New translation [CTRL+N]" and select the target language of your translation. The phrases which need to be translated will open in the right window.  
  3. Ignore the phrases with a red catalogue icon on their left (groups). Translate only the phrases within these groups (with a yellow dot on their left).
  4. Expand each of the groups by clicking ENTER or clicking on the "+" symbol with your mouse.
  5. After highlighting an item (the dot changes color from yellow to red) click ENTER or double-clock with your mouse. This will let you edit the item.
  6. After you type in your translation click ENTER to save it and move to the next item.
  7. Repeat steps 4-6 until you translate all the phrases. Click the "check" button above the right window to make sure you've translated all the items.
