+ | Accelerators have to be unique, Qt Linguist will prompt you for any duplicate assigned accelerators. Please check the warnings at the bottom all the time. | ||
+ | |||
+ | One note on East Asian languages (or any other language with non-latin alphabets): Since most people in asia use standard alphanumeric keyboards but the menus still appear in their specific language, accelerators have to be defined through an extra character. Naturally, mose people just use the accelarators from the English version. Thus, if you translate "& | ||

+ | This means in code: | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | &File | ||
+ | </ | ||

==== HTML formatting ==== | ==== HTML formatting ==== | ||
+ | Some of the interface text might be formatted with HTML. HTML formatting is useful to display certain text with larger fonts, bold or italic and so on. For example, the text in the about dialog looks like this: | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | <p>A free music transfer software for MiniDisc walkman.</ | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | file LICENSE in the program folder for more information.</ | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | For translation of such formatted texts, the best practice is just to copy the whole formatted text (including the HTML tags) and just edit and translate the normal, user-visible text. Changing the formatting should not be necessary in most cases. Thus, for example, the German translation looks very similar: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | Datei LICENSE im Programmverzeichnis für mehr Infos.</ | ||
