You can contribute
I always hope people who only understand their native languages could also try out the freeware. Now you can contribute to the community!
AnyUtils products are designed with multi-language support. However, the number of languages is limited. You can be a volunteer for Any Wallpaper, Any Weblock and Any Chatlog for Live Messenger.
How you can help
It's as easy as ABC
- Go to the folder where you have installed the program, e.g. C:\Program Files\AnyUtils\Any Wallpaper
- Open the folder named Languages.
- Make a copy of the ENU file (English) or any other language file you understand, and rename it according to this list.
- Open the renamed file using a text editor, e.g. Notepad or Wordpad.
- Translate the file to the target language accordingly. Each language resource entry is in the form of:
<resources key="S_TITLE_QRY" value="Question" />
You only need to translate the red portion.
Note: There will be a few special symbols that need to be taken care of. See the Special symbols section below.
Special symbols
Leave the following special symbols intact during translation. They are used by the program as a kind of shorthand. You may however change the position of these symbols depending on the language and context.
- {N} - New line. The text should change to a new line.
- {APP} - Program name, e.g. Any Weblock.
- {0}, {1}, {2}, ... - representing certain features, e.g. "page {0} of {1}" may produce the text "page 4 of 10".
- > - Greater than sign (>). Do not use ">" directly as this would cause an error. Use ">" instead.
- < - Less than sign (<). Do not use "<" directly as this would cause an error. Use "<" instead.
