About

=====

i18nAZ is an BiglyBT plugin for modifying BiglyBT language files (called

MessagesBundle).  Although the plugin is for internationalizing BiglyBT, the

plugin itself is not currently internationalized.  This means that the plugin

controls are in English.



Installation

============

It's recommended that you install the plugin via the Installation Wizard using

the sourceforge site.  If you can't, you can install it manually as follows:



1) In BiglyBT, choose "Plugins"->"Installation Wizard"



2) Select "By File", and choose either the i18nAZ zip or jar file



3) After completing the wizard, there should be a menu item in the plugin menu.

   If not, restart AZ.



Usage

=====

1) (Recommended) Get the CVS version of BiglyBT. This will provide you with

   recent MessagesBundles.



2) Start BiglyBT



3) Select View -> Plugins -> Internationalize BiglyBT

   The default language (english) will load.  You will initially have to 

   columns: Key, and the default language.



4) Click the "Add Language" button.  Choose the Language you wish to edit.

   If you want to start a new language, click the "New Language" button instead.

   If you have already made your own, you can change to that directory and 

   the list will update.

   

5) A Column will be added with the language you chose.



6) Table Keys:

         Move you within the table

        +        Expand a tree

        *        Expand tree and every subtree

        -        Collapse a tree

          Edit selected entry.  While editing:

                                     Save (When NOT using Fancier Editor)

                                       Cancel



7) When you are done, press "Save..".  You will be asked for a destination 

   folder. Select one, and your lanuage file will be written.  

   

   Note for new languages

   ---- --- --- ---------

   If your new language is country specific, you exit close the plugin window

   and rename the file to the following format:

   MessageBundles_xx_ZZ.properties, where

     xx = and 2 letter language code.  This will already be set for you (see 

          http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/related/iso639.txt )

     ZZ = 2 letter country code ( see 

          http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/diverse/doc/ISO_3166.html )



8) Send your language file to the BiglyBT people



Viewing Your Language

=====================

If you saved your language file(s) in BiglyBT program directory, they will 

show up on the "Languages" menu the next you start BiglyBT.



Known Bugs

==========

1) If you add the same Language/Country pair twice (even if they are in 

   different locations), saving will only save one of them (the last one)



Future

======

In order of Priority:

- Delete entry (currently, blanking a value will erase it when saving.  You

                won't notice until you re-load though)



- Load any .properties file allowing this app to be used as a general JAVA 

  bundle editor.



- Add entry
