Translate NSISdl
I made a NSISdl include file for NSIS, it includes 4 macros:

NSISDL_DOWNLOAD SOURCE DESTINATION
NSISDL_DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT SOURCE DESTINATION TIMEOUT
NSISDL_DOWNLOAD_QUIET SOURCE DESTINATION
NSISDL_DOWNLOAD_QUIET_TIMEOUT SOURCE DESTINATION TIMEOUT

It:

- supports automatic translation.
- creates the directory where will be created the DESTINATION file.
- doesn't need Modern UI to work.
- uses LangStrings, so you can use too these in your script:

NSISDL_DOWNLOADING
NSISDL_CONNECTING
NSISDL_SECOND
NSISDL_MINUTE
NSISDL_HOUR
NSISDL_PLURAL
NSISDL_PROGRESS
NSISDL_REMAINING

i.e. MessageBox MB_OK "$(NSISDL_SECOND)"

NOTE: When you use any macro of this include file, they will SetDetailsPrint to both.

If someone wants to make a translation for NSISdl, use the English language as a base for your work.

I'm trying to translate the plugin to Lithuanian, however because of the structual diferences in the Lithuanian language compared to English I am running into a problem with the plural define.

Example: hour is valanda but hours is valandos note that the ending changes completely.

Attached is the file including Lithuanian Translation with a comment note about the hours string.

PS. Also modified the other translation to use the NSISDL_LANG define instead of the language number.

!define NSISDL_LANG "1031" #German (by Jan T. Sott)

LangString NSISDL_DOWNLOADING ${NSISDL_LANG} "Dateidownload: %s"

LangString NSISDL_REMAINING ${NSISDL_LANG} "(Verbleibende Zeit: %d %s%s)"

!undef NSISDL_LANG

"Dateidownload" is the term used by IE, so i took it aswell :)

Thanks, language added.

I made some more changes:

- Added 4 macros to use with NSISdlSmooth.dll (these macros need "NSISdlSmooth" plugin installed to work):

NSISDLSMOOTH_DOWNLOAD SOURCE DESTINATION
NSISDLSMOOTH_DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT SOURCE DESTINATION TIMEOUT
NSISDLSMOOTH_DOWNLOAD_QUIET SOURCE DESTINATION
NSISDLSMOOTH_DOWNLOAD_QUIET_TIMEOUT SOURCE DESTINATION TIMEOUT

- Changed way to detect languages, it detects first if you loaded a language file and uses it depending on the $LANGUAGE variable. So, you can't use a language without loading its NSIS language file first.

something went wrong. check my spelling, you converted some terms to lowercase (minute, sekunde etc.)

Now the texts are exactly the same way you put...

deguix, I checked out your newest language translation system and I noticed one problem. Most script have all of there include files at the very start of the script, e.g before the languages are inserted into the script. Therefore none of the translations will ever be included in the script.

You're right. Returning to the old style (just that)...

I'm not testing much because I'm using a new home computer, and I have to share with some persons and play new games (yeah!) but I still here.

I assume that if the /translate is used and the values are blank that the plugin uses hardcoded defaults. Cos I noticed that LandString does not set a default translation if one does not exist.

No, it doesn't. If you want defaults you'd have to use the MUI mechanism which is using defines and using the default if a define is not defined. I hope that made sense, heh :)

Vytautas

I assumed that the plugin dll has some hardcoded defaults ;)

I changed again to the old style, because it inserted unnecessary LangStrings of languages you didn't want.

Now have to include the Language Files first, then you include this file.

Included Croatian translation with the new NSISdl.nsh.

Added the french translation :)

PS: I have met a "structural difference" as Vytautas would say ;), therefore I have changed "XX remaining" to "temps restant: XX", which corresponds to "time remaining: XX".

deguix

Yep, sometimes this applies to Portuguese language too.

I have found/remembered of a better way to display lithuanian plurals. Attached is the modified file. :D

Hi Deguix!

Thank you for this header file!

We could replace

SetDetailsPrint both

Russian Translation
Here's a Russian translation of NSISdl plugin:

;There's a note about time translation into Russian. I used variants of words using "()" symbols to fit 
;any form of the word corresponding to the actual time. There's no need in 
;NSISDL_PLURAL ${NSISDL_LANG}.
