In order to make localization easier, FeedDemon stores its text in external XML files within FeedDemon’s \Data\Lang subfolder. Localizing FeedDemon involves translating three XML files (const.xml, dialogs.xml and forms.xml), and then creating a new subfolder with the name of the language, as shown in the screenshot below:
Shortly after FeedDemon 1.0 RC1 was released, several people created localized versions of FeedDemon’s language files, and I’m very thankful for their work. So far, the following translations are available:
- German translation by Stefan Walter
- Japanese translation by Hiroshi Okugawa
- Polish translation by Jakub Kazecki
- Chinese translations by Jedi
If other localized versions are already available – or are in the works – please let me know by posting a comment in the feeddemon.beta newsgroup.
