Language not accurate : how to customize ? (1 Viewer)

[chris33f]

Hello,
I have turned my MP install in french and it seems all words are not always correctly translated from english.
Is there a way to customize this ?
Thanks

I would also like to add/modify words.
There was a translation app./website ("fill in the blanks"), but I believe it is no longer used.

Hi,
You have to open the language file from "Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\language" folder & edit it in notepad or similar program..

Spragleknas, For additional/modified words in Norwegian just send those to me & i'll add those..

Regards
Roy

Hi,
patricon, edit the file & upload it to MediaPortal @ sourceforge.

Language files are a community project for all to be a part of

Yes, but the how depends on which version you are running.

The language files are stored in the language directory

Pre-0.2.3.0 RC1

Each language has its own directory and a strings.xml file

Post-0.2.3.0 RC1

Each language has its own file in the main directory strings_xx.xml. The xx = the ISO 2 character language code.

You can open the files in a text editor and change the strings easy as that.
