Evolutility Translation Kit

If Evolutility is not available in your language of choice and you wish to translate it, here are the steps to follow:

1. Download and Extract Evol_Languages.zip.
    
2. Lookup the ISO 639-1 code for your language at Wikipedia.
    
3. In the CS folder, translate one of the C# files, and save it as a new file named after the abbreviation of the language "EvoLang_XX.cs" (examples: "EvoLang_FR.cs" for French; "EvoLang_ES.cs" for Spanish).
    
4. In the JS folder, translate one of the Javascript files, and save it as "XX.js" (examples: "FR.js" for French; "ES.js" for Spanish).
    
5. In the XML folder, for the file AddressBook.XML, translate all attributes called "label" and save it as "AddressBook_XX.XML". Do not translate other attributes in these files.
    
6. If possible, test your translation with the latest download of Evolutility code and update the heading comment in your 3 files to show your name as the author of the translation.
    
7. Tell us about date formats in your language.
   • Do you write dates Month/Day/Year (like in American English) or Day/Month/Year (like in French)?
   • Does the week starts on Sunday (like in English) or Monday (like in French) on calendars?
   
    
8. Tell us about other specificities of your language.
   • Do you write "Pi = 3.14" (with a dot like in American English) or "Pi = 3,14" (with a coma like in French or Danish)?
   
    
9. Copy the following text (our short contributor license agreement) and add it to your email :
   "I'm offering this translation to Olivier Giulieri free of charge, with full rights to do anything he wants with it, and I do not expect anything in return."
    
10. Send an email to Olivier at Evolutility dot org with:
    • the translated files (3), (4), and (5)
    • the language formats information (7) and (8)
    • the intellectual property ownership release (9)

Technical Notes:
Some strings contain "{0}" or "{1}". These are placeholders for other words to be inserted at run-time. For example: "Welcome {0}" could become "Welcome John" or "Welcome Mary" when the program is running. We use this placeholder scheme because words may be in different order in different languages.
