Want iChoose in your language?

Translation of iChoose is quite easy since all the tools you need are included in the Developer package. When you have the Developer package installed on your machine, all you have to do is follow these very simple steps.

iChoose translation howto:

  1. The file iChoose.prefpane is a package containing all of the files, that makes up iChoose. Start by [crtl] clicking it, and select Show Package Contents.
  2. Now navigate to Contents/Resources/, select English.lproj and hit [command] + D to make a copy. Rename the new file to the language you're about to translate into (e.g. Japanese.lproj)
  3. Open the file iChoosePref.nib placed in the new folder, with Interface Builder. Now you're ready to translate the PreferencesPane that shows up in System Preferences with various dialogs.
  4. In the About-tab of PrefPane please overwrite the string »Original idea by Michael Rasmussen« with something like »Translated into <language> by <your name>« in your own language.
  5. Please remember to translate all instances which include: PrefPane, Edit, Delete and EditFolder.
  6. Save your work, and close Interface Builder.
  7. Back in iChoose.prefpane/Contents/Resources [crtl] click ICss, select Show Package Contents and navigate to Contents/Resources/ where you find new language folders.
  8. Make a copy of English.lproj and rename it to your language (e.g. Japanese.lproj).
  9. Open the new folder, and edit the file Localizable.strings to fit your language. Save the file when you're done.

That's it, now send the two <language>.lproj folders to translation@luckysoftware.dk in a sit-archive :)

Thank you very much for translating iChoose!
