Status of Internationalisation and Language Support in WINE ----------------------------------------------------------- May 29, 1999, Klaas van Gend Just like Windows, Wine must support several languages and localised settings for countries other than the US. Since the last module-loader re-organisation by Bertho, this involves several files which need to be adapted to support a certain language/region. Keyboard Settings: ------------------ Currently, the following keyboard layouts are available: US, UK, FR, Icelandic, DE, Swiss German, Swiss French, NO, DA, Swedish, Canadian French, PT, IT, FI, RU, ES, Belgian. Please refer to the Wine User Guide, chapter "Keyboard" on how to add more keyboard layouts. Locale Settings: ---------------- You can find the locale settings in ole/nls/ . Most languages have several locale settings for the various countries. See the ole/nls/README, documentation/languages and MSDN's localeconv.htm for documentation on the structure and sensible entries. SysRes = System Resources : --------------------------- (System Menu, Edit Menu, MessageBox) 10 denotes that all resources are localised e denotes that the EditMenu is still in English d denotes that the SYSMENU is lacking the 61762 debug entry in either English or Regional language You can find these settings in resources/sysres_*.rc where * stands for your language code. Please use the English version (sysres_En.rc) as example. See documentation/languages by Morten Wilinder and Klaas van Gend on how to add another language. Shell32: -------- 1 SHELL_ABOUT_MSGBOX is in English, MENU_001, MENU_002 and SHBRSFORFOLDER_MSGBOX are not present. 2 SHELL_ABOUT_MSGBOX is translated, MENU_001, MENU_002 and SHBRSFORFOLDER_MSGBOX are not present. 10 all present and translated... According to Juergen Schmiedt, MENU_001 and MENU_002 are not yet complete and shouldn't be translated yet. Common Dialog boxes: -------------------- OFN = CommonDialogs' 16 bit File Dialog FR = CommonDialogs' Find & Replace Dialogs CC = CommonDialogs' Choose Colour Dialog CF = CommonDialogs' Choose Font Dialog PD16 = CommonDialogs' 16 bit Print Dialog PSD = CommonDialogs' Page Setup Dialog PD32 = CommonDialogs' 32 bit Print Dialog + stringtable F32 = CommonDialogs' 32 bit File Dialogs + stringtables 10 denotes: ok ? 5 denotes: available, but not in current layout -- denotes: not available. See documentation/languages on how to add another language. Common Controls: ---------------- There are several menus present in dlls/comctl32/rsrc.rc. Thuy Nguyen is still modifying the property dialog sheet templates, so don't start translating them yet. Also, there is no structure for comctrl32 internationalisation. The resources for the other controls are stable. Multimedia: ----------- In the multimedia subdirectory, a large stringtable with all multimedia errors and messages is waiting for translation. Be careful, this is a large piece of text! Programs: --------- Several of the Winelib-based programs in programs/* contain their own resources, which can be internationalised. Check the appropriate files and subdirectories for instructions on how to add additional languages. Note that currently the Swedish files are named "Sw.rc" where they should be called "Sv.rc". The WCMD program notes that internationalisation is lacking, but doesn't support it, either. At this moment (Oct 2, 1999), the following is supported: (10 = max support, 0 = very bad/broken support, empty = no support, ** = submitted) (note that I only looked into the source, I did not try to run the various languages) Sys| Commdlg | Win | Shell| Programs Res| OFN PD16 PSD CF CC FR PD32 F32 | MM | 32 | Clock Notepad Progman WinHelp ----+--------------------------------+-----+------+------------------------------ Ca Catalan 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 -- -- -- 2 -- -- -- -- Cs Czech de 10 10 10 5 5 10 -- -- -- 1 -- -- -- -- Da Danish 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 -- -- -- 2 De German 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 -- -- -- 1 En English 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 2 Eo Esperanto de 10 10 10 5 5 10 -- -- -- 1 -- -- -- -- Es Spanish 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 -- -- -- 2 Fi Finnish 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 -- -- -- 1 Fr French 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 -- -- 10 2 Hu Hungarian d 10 10 10 10 10 10 -- -- -- 1 -- -- It Italian d 10 10 10 10 10 10 -- -- -- 1 -- -- Ko Korean d 10 10 10 5 10 10 -- -- -- 1 -- -- Nl Dutch 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 -- ** 2 -- -- -- -- No Norwegian de 10 10 10 5 5 10 -- -- -- 1 -- -- -- -- Pl Polish d ---code is undecipherable--- -- 1 -- -- -- -- Pt Portugese d 10 10 10 10 10 10 -- -- -- 2 -- -- -- -- Ru Russian 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 -- -- -- 2 -- -- -- -- Sv Swedish d 10 10 10 10 10 10 -- -- -- 2 "Sw" "Sw" "Sw" "Sw" Wa Walon 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 -- -- -- 2 -- -- -- -- Va Rumantsch Ladin (Vallader) -- "Va" "Va" "Va" "Va"
