Guide How to translate Apps

UPDATE: Video tutorial is available here!
Watch it in HD!

This is guide how to translate applications from chinese to english/russian (what you like more .
You must use 2 programs for translate - Radialix ENG (trial, but you can use it more than 30 days if you know how to use Google and OgreGUI ENG (free).

I give the tutorial and use for sample app M8Msg.

1.Download this programs and install it.
2.Run Radialix, and you select your exe file and drop it with mouse to Radialix window.
3.Set properties in the dialog as at the screenshots and press OK:




4.To correct see hieroglyphs your windows must have support of chinese language (Language East Asia),if not you see only squares instead of text...
5.If all correct, select in the left window HARDCODED and scroll down right list to this line ~HARDCODED.ASCIIZ_STRINGS
6.Then, scroll this list up, to see some Program's strings - in my example this is screen of M8MSG:

We must scroll up, to see string \Disk\Received files. If in the program isn't english strings, scroll and compare hieroglyphs
Then focus your eyes, think as a Chinese (or call to your god to help you) and search near the hieroglyph strings as at the screen:


As you see, that string \\Disk\Received files has the address 00046604, and the all strings down to it we must translate-if you compare it with the screenshot above it's all are in it.
7.For change value of string you must right click mouse and select Toggle Read-only and then double-click at the column named Translation (in my sample German) and write your string in English.
But we have trouble-2 hieroglyph can mean 25 words in english, but length of string is only 2 symbols. Second program-OgreGUI helped us. In radialix you translate all hieroglyphs as you can, for example with Google translator - simply copy-past strings, but when insert string in the column you must truncate it to the original length.
For example, string 00046FC8 in my example translated as Basic Settings, but length only 4 symbols - write BaSe in the row translated string not good, but we can later write normal correct value in OgreGUI. So, write small values in radialix, then right-click mouse to the name of your exe file in the right window and select BuildTarget File. Radialix generate file in the same directory, with other name.
8.Run OgreGUI, In second dialog select your exe file, in next dialog set all as:

and press next
9.In the next dialog press F3 and search one of your strings - in my example BaSe, then double click on it and edit to Basic Settings. All strings usually near one with other. When you edit all strings as you want, press next and next.
10. It's moment to know who you are - looser or winner Copy ypur translated file to the M8 and run it! I'm in my example translate only one string and this is:


So, you now know how to translate programs - let's translate!

Thx mate, I'm gonna try this!

Great, thanks! I'll give it a try later, can't wait to finally have some english applications

oh.. thx

hmm problems with length... ???

i think this thread must be sticky on the top of the application forum.

it's very useful

Not until I see some apps in english

Good Job! I vote for a sticky as well (As soon as it is confirmed by somebody first though).

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIA!!!!!!!!

Thanks you my friend let's go baby for tranlasting.


Sincerely

My friend i need help you
impossible have the chinese language inside radialix software.
i've only the hieroglyphs.
off course i install the east asia language.

HELPPPPPPPP MEEEEEE!!!!!!!

matt you're apparently banned, but check if you had the non-Unicode set to Chinese language. (In the control panel - language settings)

Wonder what got him banned...Anyone confirm the translator yet who just hasn't bothered to post?

@alexeei: Not that I don't trust that it works or anything, I just want this confirmed as soon as possible so it can be stickied.

I tried to translate skyweather 4 ??? - ??M8?????? - SKYWeather 4.0 but doesn't work, both programs are failed..maybe I wrong something?

part 1 works good but the second prog does not work for me....

maybe you can post all settings of ogregui?

What not work in OgreGUI - step 8 or 9? Or what?

i get an error message.. something with text to long.. if i deselect "the fixed line" it does not appear but nothing changes

edit: i never get any changes with ogregui

Could you give me your file, edited with radialix (upload it to something, eg rapidshare), and say, what string do you edit,i see it. Sometime OgreGUI say, that size of string too long, but in my case it's be very rarely, 1-2 strings in the program.
