Need some language help

[mskuma]

I'd like to add the option for a programmer to select a language for the button texts as well. But I'm weak in all languages except english. It would help me a great deal if people who know German, Spanish and French could post the equivalents

This is a very limited exercise.. what about all the other umpteen languages.. how about Asian languages? You're better off simply letting the programmer specify it directly.

I'm only looking at supporting a few fairly widely-used european-style languages. I have no intention of supporting anything that requires unicode and my intention was never to produce an all-encompassing language selection. With this group I'm able to support around ten languages and that's good enough for me.

@netmaestro, sorry m8

No problem at all, GeoTrail. I was just a bit worried that the topic might morph off on a tangent and I'd end up not getting the languages, but we're pretty much there now.

Japanese

"OK" "OK"
"Cancel" "キャンセル"
"Abort" "中止"
"Retry" "リトライ"
"Ignore" "無視"
"Yes" "Yes"
"No" "No"
"Close" "閉じる"
"Help" "ヘルプ"
"TryAgain" "もう一度"
"Continue" "継続"

Spanish

Code: Select all

"OK" = "OK"
"Cancel" = "Cancelar"
"Abort" = "Abortar"
"Retry" = "Intentar Nuevamente"
"Ignore" = "Ignorar"
"Yes" = "Sí"
"No" = "No"
"Close" = "Cerrar"
"Help" = "Ayuda"
"TryAgain" = "Intentar Nuevamente"
"Continue" = "Continuar"

Here I would change one line ....

"Retry" = "Reintentar"

Huge thanks to all who contributed. I appreciate it very much. I actually ended up not using the information, as I went with an approach where the programmer chooses whatever button text he wants, rather than selecting a language and having the default text show in that language. This way supports all languages, as well as providing more flexibility.
