How to add language packs to MACadd
This aims to give simple instructions on how to add other languages to my RISC os application for displaying information about MAC addresses called MACadd.
What you will need to do
A sprite of the flag of the language you want to translate to, with dimensions of the sprite about 20x13. The sprite will be called the same name as the language you want to translate and is placed in !MACadd.flags. A good place to get the flag is from Flagpedia.
MACadd flags
You need to create a directory inside !MACadd.lang with the name of the language you are translating to (the same as the name you gave the flag earlier).
Macadd language directory structure
Inside each language directory are four files, called help, menu. message and name.
The help file contains the message that will appear if people use an interactive help application, the Menu file contains the text for all the menu, the Message file contains all the other text and the file called Name contains the country name according the the ISO 2 letter country code.
MACadd message files
On all these files just change the text after the : to the corresponding text for that language.
Comparing English and French menu message files
That is all that there is to it.
