How to translate WinHP to another language ?

First download translate.zip file.
It contains :
- u_ResourceStrings
- a zip file that contains winhp help source files

 

Translate WinHP strings 

You just have to translate u_ResourceStrings :

unit u_ResourceStrings;

interface

resourcestring
// FFormBegin
sFFormBeginToolbarFileCaption = 'File management';		 Don't translate these lines
sFFormBeginOpenButtonHint = 'Open';
sFFormBeginSaveButtonHint = 'Save';
sFFormBeginCutButtonHint = 'Cut';
sFFormBeginCopyButtonHint = 'Copy';
sFFormBeginPasteButtonHint = 'Paste';		 ← Translation begins here

// FFormBegin

is the name of the window that you are translating. It can help sometimes.

You only have to translate the text that is between quotes 

eg : 

sFFormBeginOpenButtonHint = 'Open';

becomes

sFFormBeginOpenButtonHint = 'Ouvrir';

after translation in French

 

When you need quotes in translated text, you need to put 2 quotes.

eg :

sFFormBegin_MaintoolbarCaption = 'Barre d''outils principal';

Don't forget to put your name (or your pseudo) :

sFAboutBoxtraduitparCaption = 'Translated in english by your name';

 

Translate WinHP help file

You need FrontPage, Dreamweaver or any other html pages editor.
