Hello everyone.
First, I would like to really thanks the group that is actually composing the DosBox crew for their fantastic product. Really a good job!!
I was actually wondering if anyone has already thought about the procedure of internationalization/translation to other languages, considering that it is gaining quite a lot of popularity.
Perhaps some kind of translation module could be implemented which could refix all the message resources stored in the MSG taking them from a language specification file.
For example,
for the DIR_HELP command you would add an entry in the "english.lang" with this entry:
DIR_HELP "Displays current files and directories in the current path"
and in the "spanish.lang"
DIR_HELP "Muestra todos los archivos y directorios en la ruta actual".
or something like that.
After all the loading is done, you could run an "I18N" process which would reload all the MSG reading them from a lang specification.
I could help in the codign but I wanted to know if someone has already taken care of this issue.
Well, that`s all.
Waiting for comments, bye!!!
