Software will be compiled as English version only, at least this year.
We can add some option that will alow you to use language profiles, e.g. translate menu, error messages, etc. but I am not sure it has much sense... IMHO English technical terms are wide used by network administrators in any country, actually its not even English words: Ping, Trace, TCP, UDP, SNMP Trap, Event Log, WMI...
Probably we will translate manual. I think we start with German and Spanish version.

Hi Alex, I could gladly do the French version if you want my help. :D :D :D

I really believe in your product, so that's why I'm offering.

For many software, it's usually a list of variables for corresponding text in any language.
Mail me any time with instructions to start this...

Have a nice day,

Ok, lets start with main menu.
There is ini file: www.ks-soft.net/download/other/hmlang_eng.zip
You may unzip language.ini and put this file into HostMonitor directory. HostMonitor will read file settings on startup.
If you translate the file, you will be able to use it right away (just restart HM).
Lines that begin with semicolon ( ; ) - comments that are not used by the software.

Alex

Done!

Works great!

I will send you the file by mail.
I guess that [options] menu should display a language tab in the future to select these.

You can send me all .ini files by mail and I will do them for you.

Thank you :)
There is new thread in Library forum
http://www.ks-soft.net/cgi-bin/phpBB/vi ... php?t=4612
French version of the file available at www.ks-soft.net/download/other/hmlang_fra.zip
You can send me all .ini files by mail and I will do them for you.
So far HostMonitor may change dynamically main menu items only. We will add more options in future versions.

Quick question,

For now RCC does not use the ini file... Is my guess correct that it will in the future?

Also, will RCC be able to select a language independently? I think this is essential to permit different users with different languages to connect to a HM server.

Thanks

RCC supports this option as well. Just copy language.ini file into folder where RCC is located.
so, will RCC be able to select a language independently? I think this is essential to permit different users with different languages to connect to a HM server.
If this option (localized files) will be popular, then yes, we can implement "select a language" option.
