Creating, Modifying, and Translating a Language File
You can create a new language file to hold language strings in a new language, you can
edit language strings in a language file, and you can translate language strings in a
language file to new language strings in a second language file.
To create a new language file in a resource file set, follow these steps:
1. Right-click the Language Files folder and then click New Language File on the
shortcut menu. The New Language File dialog appears.
2. Select the language for the new language file under Select Language.
3. To translate a string as you create the file, double-click the string and enter the
translated version based on the selected language. Repeat this step for each string to
translate. You can translate strings after you create the file as described later in this
section.
To modify a language file in a resource file set, follow these steps:
1. Set the active language to the language of the language file as described in Setting
Resource Editor Options.
2. Double-click the language file in the Language Files folder. The Modify
<Language> dialog appears listing all the strings in the language file. The dialog
does not open if you double-click a language file that is not active. To set the active
language, see Setting Resource Editor Options in chapter 2.
3. To modify a string as you create the file, double-click the string and modify the
contents. Repeat this step for each string to modify.
You can view language strings from two language files side-by-side so that you can
translate the strings in one file to the other. To translate language files in a resource file
set, follow these steps:
1. Expand the Language Files folder. This folder contains all language files for the
resource file set.
2. Right-click the active language file and then click Translate on the shortcut menu.
You can change the active language by opening the resource editor View menu,
clicking Options, and changing the value of Active Language. See Setting
Resource Editor Options for information on setting the active language file. The
Translate dialog opens:
