download and install toolkit

Many users ask to translate Jabir in various languages.

To do this I prepare a language toolkit:

1. download jabelkit.zip

2. unzip contents into installation directory (eg: C:\Programmi\Jabir3.0) with this directory structure

3. goto into res directory

4. rename jabel_xx.xml in jabel_[your contry prefix].xml (eg: jabel_it.xml for italian)

5. edit jabel file with an unicode text editor

6. run jabir using startup file jabir.bat (windows) or jabir.sh (unix)

7. fill language textfield with [your contry prefix] and test Jabir

file format

Please:

1. use an unicode (utf-8) text editor like metapad or jedit

2. use xml convention and quoting

> → > 
< &rarr; &lt;
& &rarr; &amp;
' &rarr; &apos;

3. respect words capitalization

"Ticket" is different than "ticket"

4. leave intact file headers

	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
	<java version="1.6.0_07" class="java.beans.XMLDecoder">

5. first HashMap: first [string] parameter is "Jabir internal string" while second [string] parameter is your translated form (eg: Ticket → Scontrino):

	 <object class="java.util.HashMap">

	  <void method="put">
	   <string>Ticket</string>
	   <string>Scontrino</string>
	  </void>
	  <void method="put">
	   <string>tickets</string>
	   <string>scontrini</string>
	  </void>
	  <void method="put">
	   <string>Articles</string>
	   <string>Articoli</string>
	  </void>
      .....

6. second HashMap: first [string] parameter is "Jabir internal string" while second [int] parameter is the decimal ascii code (65 for letter A..90 for letter Z) used as keyboard accelerator (eg: Ticket becomes Scontrino → 83 is letter S):

	 <object class="java.util.HashMap">
	  <void method="put">
	   <string>Ticket</string>
	   <int>83</int>
	  </void>
	  <void method="put">
	   <string>Exit</string>
	   <int>88</int>
	  </void>

Once, you have completed your homework and you want to share it, please send me a copy that I will include in Jabir installation package

THANKS YOU
