Language Comparator

The Stereoscopic Player can be localized without modifying the programs source code by creating a separate language file for each language. The file must be stored in Unicode format and placed in the Stereoscopic Player main directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\Stereoscopic Player). To edit a language file, it is recommended to use Notepad, which ships with Windows. When saving the file, make sure you select the Unicode format.
A language file begins with a header containing a signature, the language name and a language ID. A list of language IDs can be found on MSDN. The last two header lines are a version number and the translators name. The rest of the file contains translations for each string used by the player. If a string is missing in the language file, the English default value is used.
Creating a localized version is as easy as duplicating English.lng or German.lng and translating all lines of the derived file. Once you see a localization file, it will be quite obvious how they work. Stereoscopic Player allows to select the language manually in the File|Settings dialog, so it is possible to try out languages different from your operating systems language.
Language Comparator is a handy localization tool designed to list all the lines present in English.lng or German.lng, but missing in your file. The localization tool will help you to identify string introduced with a new release of Stereoscopic Players.System requirementsStereoscopic Player
