Re: [MiNT] Localisation of other MiNT SW

Hi,

first I should to confess that I am not a coder.
I am only able to write Bash scripts and did projects in PHP.
So I miss a deep knowledge of C, TOS (AES, VDI, GEM), CVS etc.

Yes, the strings from RSC files (for now).
Maybe also the readme file for fsetter, but it is a plain text, so no technical problem for me.

I appologize, but I do not know how to make a rsl-file (there are no rsls in toswin2 and fsetter).
When I translated some SW in the past I directly edited the RSC file with RSC editor.
But I prefer the rsl-file method.
Sou could somebody please prepare for me (and maybe other translators) the rsl-file?

Yes, it seems to be. But can I use it for the translation or wait till somebody prepare rsl file for me?

When I looked to the CVS, I saw there also COPS and HYPView.
I would like to translate them too.
But why weren't they part of the 1.17.0 release?

Thanks.
