WB3.1 more languages *Help*

W4r3DeV1L · 17 March 2013, 02:08

Hello!

I would be grateful if someone of you would help me out with the following issue I am having with my Amiga.
I have found a nice .hdf for winuae with lively icons and graphics
but it is in french language. But what I need is italian or at least English
so I tried to copy the language files of my WB3.1 Locale disk into the
dh0:Locale/Languages.
Then from the Preferences I changed the language from French to Italian or from French to English but it seems that nothing would really change.

The Language seems to remain French.

Any help with this?

Thanks a lot!

Daniele

oopsss.. I am sorry... I should have specified that the program I would like to have in Italian or English is the WorkBench!

So I just want to change the WB language from French to Italian and adding more languages files to the Locale/Languages folder didn't serve the purpose!

Any Idea?

For each program you need a catalog file named the same as the program, eg. SYS:Locale/Catalogs/italiano/AmiArcadia.catalog is the Italian translation of the AmiArcadia program.

If there's no Italian catalog file available for that program then you will not be able to run that particular program in Italian. What particular programs are remaining French, you mean various programs in SYS: ? The necessary Italian catalogs are probably not on the HDF. Can you give a link to the HDF?

Programs running in French rather than English is strange though. Either your Preferences are still not set up properly or the relevant program is French-only.

Delete envarc:sys/locale.prefs, then reboot. Now Workbench should be in English. Run Prefs/Locale and select Italian language, Italian country and Italian time zone.

Note that you can select multiple languages. The languages are applied top to bottom, whichever is found first. If you want to prefer only one language, you have to click on "clear languages" before you select the new one.

The built-in language is English. So if you select Italian and it is still French, it's not because Italian is not installed but because you didn't unselect French (by "clear languages").

Insert Install3.1.adf into DF0 and Locale3.1.adf into DF1, then open Install3.1 -> Install -> Italiano, select to update languages and add Italian.
