Customise:language pack

From Miranda IM - Wiki

Language packs are plain text files that contain translations for strings that are used within a program. They are automatically loaded when placed in the same location as the main Miranda executable with a filename matching langpack_<language>.txt. Currently there are packs for 25 languages available in the localisation section of the file listing.

File structure

The contents of a language file begin with a section containing information about the language pack. Locale IDs can be found on Microsoft's site.

Translatable strings

Strings for the core are contained in the English language pack, available at https://miranda.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/miranda/trunk/miranda/i18n/langpack_english.txt.

Plugin distributions may also come with a text file (*_translate.txt) containing translatable strings for the plugin.
