Localization (Installer)

❓ How can I localize/translate the installer of ScreenToGif?

First thing, check if the translation isn't already done! Or up to date.

Currently, the only way to translate the texts of the installer is by downloading the Zip file provided below, unzipping it and editing its contents with your preferred text editor.

📡 Acquiring the translatable texts

1. Click in here to download the all texts resources, to be able to translate what you want.
2. Open or create a new file with the language that you want to translate on your preferred text editor.
   a. When creating a new translation, it's easier to just edit the English version and rename it later.
3. When saving the text, please use the UTF-8 encoding.

✏ Translating

It looks easy, but there's a bunch of texts to translate. If you feel like there's too much texts, you can translate partially and let others as it is. Any help is valuable, so thank you for your contribution!

Each <s:String... tag represents a translatable string, you just need to translate the content of that tag:

<s:String x:Key="S.Title">ScreenToGif Installer</s:String>

English to Brazilian Portuguese.

<s:String x:Key="S.Title">Instalador do ScreenToGif</s:String>

To represent a new line, you can use and to represent a carriage return + new line, use

<s:String x:Key="S.Maintenance.Repair">Repair the&#x0d;installation.</s:String>

💾 File naming

Simple, name like (replace with your LCID):

Strings.pt.xaml
Strings.sv.xaml
Strings.ru.xaml

You get the idea. If not just ask me via [email protected]

📩 After it's done
