Everything 1.5 Changes

To update an existing translation:
Copy all the new strings under the line:

// 1.5.0.1407

from the Template.zip to the end of your existing template.txt and update.

Please check the

Everything 1.5 Changes.txt

in the Changes folder from the Template.zip.
Please update these old strings in your existing template.txt

New strings in Everything 1.5 do not use printf and use {{named}} templates instead.

Please contact David Carpenter if you are interested in translating Everything. A lot of translations are already in the process of being updated.

Translating

Please contact David Carpenter if you are interested in translating Everything. A lot of translations are already in the process of being updated.

Please check Supported languages for a list of supported translations.

Download the English translation template from Template.zip

Unzip the template to an empty folder.

Open the file Template.txt with notepad.

Translate each string in the template to the new language.



Syntax

A string definition has the following syntax:

key = "value"

For example: the string in the English translation template:

LOADING_DATABASE = "Loading database..."

For example: Translating the LOADING_DATABASE string to Italian:

LOADING_DATABASE = "Caricamento della base dati..."

Most strings IDs are defined as:
CATEGORY + _ + DESCRIPTION + _ + TYPE

Most strings are defined on a single line, but multiple lines can be used:

key = "value1"
"value2"
"value3"

Quoted strings are joined together.



Comments

//

Start a line comment (the rest of the line is ignored)

;

Start a line comment (the rest of the line is ignored)

Comments are ignored by the language compiler.



Escaping characters

Escape	Description
\n	new line
\r	line return
\t	tab
\"	escape a double quote (")
\\	a single back-slash (\)

printf

%s

and

%d

must be in the same order as they appear in the English translation template.



Templates

{{ ... }}

are templates.
These are replaced with text by name.
For example:

{{YEAR}}

is replaced by the current year.

Please do not translate text inside {{ }}.

Menu Keys

Place a & in front of the letter for the menu key.
For non-Latin languages, you can optionally add them to the end of your string as (&A)

This only applies to strings in the English translation template that have a &
Typically MENU, MENUITEM and STATIC strings.



Saving

Please save the template as UTF-8.



Updating

I will notify you by email when translations require updating.

An up to date English translation template is always available from Template.zip

New and changed translation strings are added to the end of the template.

If you have an existing translation you will need to add the updated translations from Template.zip to the end of your translation template.

Your translation is compatible with previous and future versions of Everything.

Strings that have not yet been translated will appear in English.



Everything 1.4 Changes

Some strings may vary between Everything versions.
Usually help information is expanded upon or alt shortcut keys added.

Please check the Changes folder in the Template.zip file for a list of changes that may need updating in your existing translation template.txt.



Language Compiler

Please download the language pack compiler if you would like to test your translation with "Everything".

An up to date language pack compiler is always available from makelng.zip



Instructions:

• Download the language pack compiler and extract to an empty folder.
• Copy your translation template to this folder.
• Run the compiler.
• Exit "Everything".
• Copy the generated Everything.lng to your "Everything" installation folder.
• Restart "Everything".
• Select the correct language in "Everything"

Note: makelng.exe compiles *.txt .



Warnings

Ignore warnings for duplicated definitions.

The last definition will be used for duplicates.

You can optionally remove the first references of the duplicates to remove these warnings.

Warnings for undefined strings should be fixed.
Warnings for empty strings should be fixed.
Warnings for unused templates should be fixed.
Warnings for using the same template multiple times should be fixed.



Credit

Please add your name to the credit list for your translation.

Your name will be added to the English translation template to be updated for the next release of "Everything".

Your name will also be included on the website.

You can optionally have your name linked to an email address or website.



Help & Support

Please contact David Carpenter for assistance.



Website

The website is currently not ready for translating.
It is in the process of being updated.



Thanks

Thank you to those that have translated "Everything".

Thank you for supporting "Everything"!

Thanks for the update and the notification.

• It seems that ONLINE_SEARCH_SYNTAX_LINK and ONLINE_SEARCH_COMMANDS in the provided template point to the same page. Can I ignore this?

• v1.5 changes mentions LOCALIZATION_SIZE_RESULT_LIST_TO_FIT key, but Template.txt does not include it. Is it intended?

Also, I’ve made https://github.com/jeiea/everything-translation-ko public and am sharing it here. Although this translation is outdated and incomplete, it was intended to serve as a reference for other translators and to facilitate future contributions.

[void]

Thank you for translating Everything 1.5.

It seems that ONLINE_SEARCH_SYNTAX_LINK and ONLINE_SEARCH_COMMANDS in the provided template point to the same page. Can I ignore this?

Yes, this can be ignored.
ONLINE_SEARCH_COMMANDS links to:
https://support.voidtools.com/everything/Search_commands
which currently redirects to:
https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/searching/

v1.5 changes mentions LOCALIZATION_SIZE_RESULT_LIST_TO_FIT key, but Template.txt does not include it. Is it intended?

This is a typo.
Please replace LOCALIZATION_SIZE_RESULT_LIST_TO_FIT with:
SIZE_RESULT_LIST_TO_FIT = "Size All Columns to Fit &Window"
Please translate this string.

Hi,

Here is the Serbian updated translation.

[void]

Thank you to everyone updating their existing translations.

Please take your time translating.
There is no hurry.
I still have a beta phase to do before an official Everything 1.5 release.

Thank you for the updated Serbian translation ToSamJa,

I will add your translation to the Everything language pack and Everything installer.

[SerifM]

Hello All,

I’ve been using Everything Alpha for a few days now. There were some missing Turkish sections, so I wanted to translate them. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a way to extract the Turkish text from the Everything.lng file. I wanted to translate the Template.txt file. I ran the makelng.exe file you provided and generated a new Everything.lng file.

The “Edit Bookmarks” section in the Template.txt file is problematic. The separator does not appear correctly. Instead of “Separator,” it says “Open A&ll Bookmarks”, and a new separator cannot be added; instead, curiously—if you have text copied to the clipboard—it pastes as if it were a separator. In the left section, next to the folder icon, it says “&Open All Bookmarks” instead of “Bookmarks.” At the beginning of the search box, it says “(Separator)” instead of “Search.” The column headers “Name”, “Search”, “Macro”, and “Key” appear as “Bookmarks”, “New Folder”, “Bookmarks”, and “&Open” respectively. There may be other issues I’ve missed.

[void]

Thank you for your offer to help translate Everything 1.5 to Turkish.

There is currently a Turkish translation in progress.
Could I please add you to my list of translators?
I will reach out if I need help translating Everything 1.5 to Turkish.

The “Edit Bookmarks” section in the Template.txt file is problematic.

Please make sure you are using Everything 1.5.0.1407a or later.

[SerifM]

Actually, I was localizing it according to my own preferences. But I can also help with a translation based on general understanding.

I overlooked the latest build; the issues I mentioned aren't present in version 1.5.0.1407a.

[EricBinet]

Hi David

The French translation has begun. I didn't expect so many changes between versions 1.4 and 1.5! It's going to take a while.

Note: There's a display issue with a keyboard shortcut (at least on an AZERTY keyboard).

Have a nice sunday.
Eric Binet

[void]

Thank you for translating Everything to French.
Please take your time translating.
Everything still has a beta phase to go through.

When using menus, & is an escape character to underline the next character.
Everything is not correctly escaping the & key name with &&.
I will have this fixed in the next alpha update.
Thank you for the issue report.

[err_24546]

@void, for those of us who already sent you translations, and in general, what's the protocol for updating translations?
Do we need to resend the whole file every time you release an update?

[void]

At this stage, please update the following three strings and resend your template.txt

Code: Select all

VIEW_TOGGLE_MENU_HELP = "Shows or hides the main menu bar. If hidden, it can be restored by right-clicking the toolbar or title bar."
OPTIONS_FAT_AUTOMATICALLY_INCLUDE_NEW_FIXED_VOLUMES_HELP = "Everything will rebuild the database to include a new fixed volume."

Everything 1.5.0.1408a adds localization support for Deutsch, English (AU), English (UK), Español (Latinoamérica), فارسی, 日本語 and 简体中文.

Thanks to Michael Banz, Christian Arellano García, Abdulhamid Fadavi, Takuma Koga (koga2020) and WanderMax.



Everything 1.5.0.1408a fixes an issue with & not being escaped in menu key names.

The latest translation can now be downloaded from the GitHub release or from the source.
It may not be final yet, but you can always use the latest version.

Also, I can't translate the Everything Server Settings page.
Is this intended?

That should read "Christian Arellano García".

I corrected it in my german translation aswell.

Thank you for working on the Korean translation jeiea,

Hello David

In Properties/Advanced:
It appears that it is not possible to translate the items in the "Value" column, nor the multiple-choice options in the dropddown menus! They do not appear in template.txt.

Is it on purpose ? Or am I missing something ?

For a future version of Everything 1.5:

Is it possible to increase the space allocated for the text after a checkbox?
The translation is longer than the English text (as usual!) and is truncated.

It's in Options/Indexes/Content ; Checkbox : 'Exclude recall on data access'

Also, the same text and its checkbox appear in Indexes/Properties, but this time there is enough space for the translation!

This is on purpose.
Advanced setting names and values will not be translated.

What others are doing and what I encourage:
show:
true (vrai)
and
false (faux)

It's in Options/Indexes/Content ; Checkbox : 'Exclude recall on data access'

Thanks for pointing out this issue, this checkbox is using the width of the checkbox above.
This will be fixed in the next update.

Thanks for working on the French translation of Everything 1.5.

[EricBinet]

Hi

What others are doing and what I encourage:
show:
true (vrai)
and
false (faux)

Ok, that's what I was planning to do in case of "it's on purpose"

But what about the other texts in the dropdown menu.
That's very different than true/false!

Could it be possible to had the english text in template.txt

Something like:
// Advanced - Dropdown menu values
XXXXXX = (User default)
YYYYYY = Existing window
ZZZZZZ = New tab (Nouvel onglet)
AAAAA = New window
BBBBBB = Append
CCCCC = Prefix
...

So that we can just Append our translations to the existing values like this:

// Dropdown menu values
XXXXXX = (User default) (Utilisateur par défaut)
YYYYYY = Existing window (Fenêtre existante)
AAAAA = New window (Nouvelle fenêtre)
BBBBBB = Append (Ajouter)
CCCCC = Prefix (Préfixe)
....

The width of the dropdown menu seems enough for two languages.

For Everything 1.5, advanced settings and values will be English only.

The advanced setting names would need to be translated for the value to make any sense.
I don't expect you to translate the advanced setting names/values. There's thousands of them.

I might hide the advanced page by default for non-English languages. (user would have to hold shift when clicking Tools -> Options to show advanced)

I might hide the advanced page by default for non-English languages. (user would have to hold shift when clicking Tools -> Options to show advanced)

Please don't do that because I use it and it would be handicap (e.g. I would forget that an option is hidden and I wouldn't be able to find it). You don't have to hide something just because someone doesn't understand a dozen or so words. Most people who use this program probably know English at a basic level.
You could at least add an option to hide the menu, but with the option of showing it permanently (enable/disable).
Or you could also add in the Advanced section a link to a page with a short description of each setting (what is it for).
The least amount of work is of course to leave it as it is.

Ok, so be it.

I might hide the advanced page by default for non-English languages. (user would have to hold shift when clicking Tools -> Options to show advanced)

I don't think that's necessary.
But you could perhaps add a warning in bold characters (when people are using a translation) at the top of the window stating the value are in English only.
And this would only be visible when using a translation.

You could add a line in template.txt like this :

ADVANCED_VALUES_IN_ENGLISH_ONLY = " Values are in english only "

In French that would be :
ADVANCED_VALUES_IN_ENGLISH_ONLY = " Valeurs uniquement en anglais "

You get the idea

Otherwise, international users who rely on a translation might think that the translation into their language is incomplete.

E.Binet

[void]

I will consider showing a "Values are in English only warning".
Thank you for the suggestion.

Please consider the Advanced options page like Firefox's about:config
The setting names and values are not translated.

Everything also has an about:config which shows the raw Everything.ini
The setting names and values are not translated.

For now, I will keep the Advanced page shown.
F1 on an advanced setting will show online help.
Once I have the English online page sorted, I will look into translation support online.

[EricBinet]

Hi David

In Options -> Plugins :
Can the description text be on two lines, otherwise the (french) translation is truncated!
I do my best to shorten translations but most of the time the french translation is longer than the english text...

The options window can be resized.

The description, author and version are read-only edit controls, so the user can select and copy text.
(I can't add end ellipsis easily)

It's possible to click into the description and move the caret to the right to scroll the text into view.

I will consider a multiple line description for a future version.
Thank you for the feedback.
