Dirhtml Help - Language XML Files

Dirhtml can customize essentially all user interface text elements by parsing an xml file.  Dirhtml can be translated into any language by editing this file.   The xml file can be in UTF-8 or UTF-16 format and must include a byte order marker.

In theory, the file format is self explanatory.  For each interface item, there is the text used for the control.  For most items, there is also associated help text, which is displayed as a tooltip popup when the mouse hovers over the control.

Note: &amp; in <text> sections indicate the control's hot key.

Various language files are distributed with the program, including french and chinese.   dirhtml_english.xml is a clone of the default interface, which should be used as a starting point for any new translation.  Additional translations are encouraged.  Dirhtml will not load any xml file that is imperfectly formed.

Additional translations are encouraged, and will be distributed with future versions of the program.
