Klaas van Gend	39f69f7	1999-06-05 08:56:33 +0000	[diff] [blame]	1	Status of Internationalisation and Language Support in WINE
				2	-----------------------------------------------------------
				3	May 29, 1999, Klaas van Gend
				4
Klaas van Gend	39f69f7	1999-06-05 08:56:33 +0000	[diff] [blame]	5	Just like Windows, Wine must support several languages and
				6	localised settings for countries other than the US.
				7	Since the last module-loader re-organisation by Bertho,
				8	this involves several files which need to be adapted to
				9	support a certain language/region.
				10
				11
				12	Keyboard Settings:
				13	------------------
				14	Currently, the following keyboard layouts are available:
Klaas van Gend	1a3f368	1999-10-13 12:23:19 +0000	[diff] [blame]	15	US, UK, FR, Icelandic, DE, Swiss German, Swiss French, NO, DA, Swedish,
				16	Canadian French, PT, IT, FI, RU, ES, Belgian.
Andriy Palamarchuk	4ee6516	2001-09-17 19:07:56 +0000	[diff] [blame]	17	Please refer to the Wine User Guide, chapter "Keyboard" on how to add
				18	more keyboard layouts.

				20
				21	Locale Settings:
				22	----------------
				23	You can find the locale settings in ole/nls/ .
				24	Most languages have several locale settings for the various
				25	countries. See the ole/nls/README, documentation/languages and
				26	MSDN's localeconv.htm for documentation on the structure
				27	and sensible entries.
				28
				29
				30	SysRes = System Resources :
				31	---------------------------
				32	(System Menu, Edit Menu, MessageBox)
				33	10 denotes that all resources are localised
				34	e denotes that the EditMenu is still in English
				35	d denotes that the SYSMENU is lacking the 61762 debug entry in
				36	either English or Regional language
				37	You can find these settings in resources/sysres_*.rc
				38	where * stands for your language code.
				39	Please use the English version (sysres_En.rc) as example.
				40	See documentation/languages by Morten Wilinder and Klaas van Gend
				41	on how to add another language.
				42
				43
				44	Shell32:
				45	--------
				46	1 SHELL_ABOUT_MSGBOX is in English, MENU_001, MENU_002 and
				47	SHBRSFORFOLDER_MSGBOX are not present.
				48	2 SHELL_ABOUT_MSGBOX is translated, MENU_001, MENU_002 and
				49	SHBRSFORFOLDER_MSGBOX are not present.
				50	10 all present and translated...
				51	According to Juergen Schmiedt, MENU_001 and MENU_002 are not
				52	yet complete and shouldn't be translated yet.
				53
				54
				55	Common Dialog boxes:
				56	--------------------
Klaas van Gend	1a3f368	1999-10-13 12:23:19 +0000	[diff] [blame]	57	OFN = CommonDialogs' 16 bit File Dialog
Klaas van Gend	39f69f7	1999-06-05 08:56:33 +0000	[diff] [blame]	58	FR = CommonDialogs' Find & Replace Dialogs
				59	CC = CommonDialogs' Choose Colour Dialog
				60	CF = CommonDialogs' Choose Font Dialog
				61	PD16 = CommonDialogs' 16 bit Print Dialog
				62	PSD = CommonDialogs' Page Setup Dialog
Klaas van Gend	1a3f368	1999-10-13 12:23:19 +0000	[diff] [blame]	63	PD32 = CommonDialogs' 32 bit Print Dialog + stringtable
				64	F32 = CommonDialogs' 32 bit File Dialogs + stringtables
				65
Klaas van Gend	39f69f7	1999-06-05 08:56:33 +0000	[diff] [blame]	66	10 denotes: ok ?
				67	5 denotes: available, but not in current layout
				68	-- denotes: not available.
Klaas van Gend	1a3f368	1999-10-13 12:23:19 +0000	[diff] [blame]	69
Klaas van Gend	39f69f7	1999-06-05 08:56:33 +0000	[diff] [blame]	70	See documentation/languages on how to add another language.
				71
Klaas van Gend	1a3f368	1999-10-13 12:23:19 +0000	[diff] [blame]	72
				73	Common Controls:
				74	----------------
				75	There are several menus present in dlls/comctl32/rsrc.rc.
				76	Thuy Nguyen is still modifying the property dialog sheet templates,
				77	so don't start translating them yet. Also, there is no structure for
				78	comctrl32 internationalisation.
				79	The resources for the other controls are stable.
				80
				81
				82	Multimedia:
				83	-----------
				84	In the multimedia subdirectory, a large stringtable with all
				85	multimedia errors and messages is waiting for translation.
				86	Be careful, this is a large piece of text!

Klaas van Gend	1a3f368	1999-10-13 12:23:19 +0000	[diff] [blame]	88
Klaas van Gend	39f69f7	1999-06-05 08:56:33 +0000	[diff] [blame]	89	Programs:
				90	---------
				91	Several of the Winelib-based programs in programs/* contain their own
				92	resources, which can be internationalised.
				93	Check the appropriate files and subdirectories for instructions on
				94	how to add additional languages.
				95	Note that currently the Swedish files are named "Sw.rc" where they
				96	should be called "Sv.rc".
Klaas van Gend	1a3f368	1999-10-13 12:23:19 +0000	[diff] [blame]	97	The WCMD program notes that internationalisation is lacking, but doesn't
				98	support it, either.

Klaas van Gend	1a3f368	1999-10-13 12:23:19 +0000	[diff] [blame]	101	At this moment (Oct 2, 1999), the following is supported:
Klaas van Gend	39f69f7	1999-06-05 08:56:33 +0000	[diff] [blame]	102
Klaas van Gend	1a3f368	1999-10-13 12:23:19 +0000	[diff] [blame]	103	(10 = max support, 0 = very bad/broken support, empty = no support,
				104	** = submitted)
Klaas van Gend	39f69f7	1999-06-05 08:56:33 +0000	[diff] [blame]	105	(note that I only looked into the source, I did not try to run the various languages)
