Translating G-Lock EasyMail GU Using Language Manager


This tutorial describes how to use the Language Manager to translate G-Lock EasyMail interface into other languages. We used the translation to the French language as an example.


Download and Installation
 

1. Download the Language Manager from this link http://www.glocksoft.net/.down/lmsetup.exe


2. Run the lmsetup.exe file to install the Language Manager
 
3. Download G-Lock EasyMail v6 Beta from this link http://www.glockeasymail.com/files/easymail6b_setup.exe
 
4. Install G-Lock EasyMail.

Please, remember the folder you installed G-Lock EasyMail to, for example: D:\Program Files\G-Lock Software\G-Lock EasyMail 6\

By default you have G-Lock EasyMail in the native English.


The files you will use for translation - EMAdrBK.ntv.lng (address book), DeliveryMonitor.ntv.lng (Delivery Monitor), SentManager.ntv.lng (Sent Manager), bc.ntv.lng (Bounced Manager), and EasyMail.ntv.lng (G-Lock EasyMail itself) - are located in the Language folder in G-Lock EasyMail v6 directory:

...G-Lock Software\G-Lock EasyMail 6\Language

 

Loading Project for Translation
 

1. Open the Language Manager.

 
2. Click on the "Open Project" button.

3. Select the native language file from the ...G-Lock Software\G-Lock EasyMail 6\Language folder to translate.

Note: The EasyMail.ntv.lng project must be translated the first to enable "Select language" option in the EasyMail->Help menu

4. Click Open.

The project will be loaded.

 

 

 
 

Adding Language


1. Click on the File menu

2. Select "Create New Language"


3. Select the language you will translate the project into

4. Click OK


The selected language will be added to the project.


Translating Forms and Units


1. Select a cell in the column with your language

2. Click the mouse on the cell to make it available for editing

3. Type the translation to your language instead of the English text
 

Important notes:
 
 
1. Do not delete the & characters in the translated text.


 

2. Do not translate the text in blue cells.

 

There are Forms and Units items in the drop down menu. After you translate all the items in the Forms project, double click the mouse on the Units from the menu to load the Units project.

Translate the Units items just like the Forms items.

 
 

 
Adding Translated Items to Repository


After you translate all the items, we recommend that you add them to the repository for further usage in the next project.

1.  Select a cell in your language column

2. Press Ctrl+A on the keyboard to select all the cells in the column

3. Click the right mouse button on the selected items

4. Select "Add to Repository" from the menu

 
 

Saving Translated Project to a File


1. Click on the Save button to save the project to a file

The project will be saved to a file with the [language].lng extension, for example, EMAdrBK.FRA.lng

 

Loading Next Project


After the translation of the EMAdrBK.ntv.lng project is complete and saved to a file, you can load the next project for translation.

1. Click on the "Open Project" button

2. Select another .ntv.lng file, for example, DeliveryMonitor.ntv.lng

3. Click Open

The new project will be loaded.


For your convenience you can load the translated items from the repository into this project.

1. Click the right mouse button on the cell in the column with your language

2. Select "Translate with Repository" from the menu

If this project contains the items that are already translated into your language, the Language Manager will load the translation from the repository.


Translate the Forms and Units items in the DeliveryMonitor.ntv.lng project.

After the translation of the Forms and Units is complete, please, verify whether all the items are translated. To do this:

1. Select Forms in the top field

2. Click the right mouse button on the right panel with your language

3. Select Show -> Untranslated

The Language Manager will show all the untranslated items under Forms. If there are any items, translate them.

Then verify the Units for untranslated items.

 When all the items under Forms and Units are translated, save the project to the DeliveryMonitor.FRA.lng file.

Load the next project for translation.

 

When the translation of all the projects (EMAdrBK.ntv.lng, DeliveryMonitor.ntv.lng, SentManager.ntv.lng, BC.ntv.lng, and EasyMail.ntv.lng) is complete, you can see how G-Lock EasyMail interface looks in your language. To do this:

1. Open G-Lock EasyMail

2. Click Help -> Language

3. Select your language from the menu
