OmenMon Localization

This repository stores OmenMon interface translations into other languages.

Using

To use a translation, download the XML file, and copy the <String Key="..."> elements inside the <Messages> element of your OmenMon.xml configuration file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 
<OmenMon>
    <Messages>
        <!-- Paste the translated strings here. Example:
        <String Key="CliTranslated">Translated to [Language] by [Author]</String>
        <String Key="GuiTranslated">Translated by [Author]</String> -->
    </Messages>
</OmenMon>

For details, see the documentation.

System Settings

To display console messages with non-ASCII characters, you might additionally need to:

• Switch the code page to UTF-8: chcp 65001
• Change the console font

Contributing

To add a new translation:

• Start with OmenMon.en_US.xml as a template
• Install as outlined in the Using section above
• Translate the interface messages
  • Edit the XML file only when OmenMon is not running
  • You do not have to translate everything, e.g. unit names such as Hz or °C
    • Delete any entries you did not change
• Copy your OmenMon.xml configuration file to OmenMon.xx_YY.xml, where:
  • xx is an ISO 639-1 language code, lower-case
  • YY is an ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 country code, UPPER-case
  • For example, en_US indicates English (United States), the default localization
• You can add your translation credit as CliTranslated and GuiTranslated if you wish to do so
• Remove your configuration, i.e. anything between <Config> and </Config> and share the file here
