If a [your language].catalog already exists:

Open the preferences window in BePDF, go to the language tab and select the language. Then close BePDF and open it again.

If a [your language].catalog does not exist:

You can easily make one yourself.

  1. Copy template.catalog to [your language].catalog.
    Note: As a naming convention [your language] should be the name of your language in your language ;-)
  2. Open [your language].catalog with StyleEdit skip the first line and the line at the bottom of the file.

    Replace the second line with the name of your language, again in your language.

    The other lines appear in pairs of two lines: The first is an identifier which you must not change and the second line is the text in English which has to be translated. This line has to be replaced with the translation to your language.

    Note: Some lines have a leading space or a space at the end, the translated line of text should have this too!

  3. If you want to support other BePDF users, send [your language].catalog in a zip-archive (to guarantee that the 8th bit is not lost) to me and please tell me if you want to be mentioned in the documentation as the translator with or without your email-address and/or a link to your home page. The catalog file will then be release on the localization site and will be included in the next release of BePDF.
