Locale-files (*.lcl)

Locale files store information about strings of Mail Box Dispatcher. Locale Filename looks like: '<name>.lcl', where <name> is name of language. When Mail Box Dispatcher starts, it loads list of all locale files from main directory. You can activate any loaded language set just by selecting one in options menu.

Structure of language set

Locale file is simple plain text and has next structure:
[SectionName1]
nameofstring1=String1
nameofstring2=String2
nameofstring3=String3
...

[SectionName2]
nameofstring4=String4
nameofstring5=String5
...
...

Mail Box Dispatcher uses SectionName-s and nameofstring-s to identify each string and load it. String values are strings after '=' character.

Create New Locale

To create new locale file, make a copy of English.lcl with other filename - NewLanguage.lcl for example. Launch any text editor and open NewLanguage.lcl as plain text. Now you can translate strings. Note: don't modify SectionName-s and nameofstring-s because its used by Mail Box Dispatcher to find strings. Edit only strings after '=' character.

Finish

Now launch Mail Box Dispatcher and select NewLanguage in Options menu. Don't forget to help other! Please send it to me (locale@anti-spam-tools.com) and other people can use it also to fight spam.
