Translation HOWTO :

You can teach Notepad++ to speak your mother tongue : Just download english.xml and translate it into your language.

Note to translate :

1. All the English words under the Attribute name should be translated.

2. All the numbers which are not under the Attribute name (the Attribute id, order, posX and posY) should NOT be changed.

3. & in the Tag Menu is &, it takes effect (draw a underline on a letter) when user push the Alt key. So it's up to you to change its position, it depends on the menu convention of your language.

4. Do not remove TAB (between the name to translate and the shortcut) or change TAB into White Space.

5. Don't change the shortcuts (ex: Ctrl-C) even it is not equivalent to your language.

6. Try to translate shortly. The controls in dialogs won't be resized dynamically.

Here is an example :

The translation of Paste in French is Coller, so the XML Tag Translation from English to French should be :

<Item id = "42005" name = "&amp;Paste      Ctrl+V"/>

<Item id = "42005" name = "C&amp;oller      Ctrl+V"/>

How to test your translation :

1. Rename english.xml to nativeLang.xml

2. Click Start->Run to have the run box, type %APPDATA%\Notepad++ in it and Enter. There'll be an opened directory window appears.

3. Copy the nativeLang.xml into the opened directory.

4. Exit Notepad++ then relaunch it.
