Re: [Kdiff3-user] Context-Menus for FileManagers for KDiff3

[<sz...@co...>]

Hi,
  Thank you for interest in diff-ext. I'm glad to hear that the extension is useful.
  Yes it is not built with Unicode. So in order to use it with language other than 
English one have to have matching setting for "Language for non-Unicode programs".
You can see it on the "Advanced" tab of "Regional and Language Options".
  There is also a glitch with language selection. If you can not select the desired language
in the setup program look in the registry for th key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Z\diff_ext
The value of "language" variable should match windows locale identifier.
For example, English is 1033(0x409), Russian is 1049(0x419).
See here for more locale identifiers: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/intl/nls_238z.asp

PS: I would really appreciate if someone could translate diff-ext to other languages.
So if you think that you can help me with translation, just drop me a line.

Serg.
