How to test translation files

  1. Download english language file from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xdman/files/lang/en.txt/download
  2. Make changes to the file. Replace the engilsh text with your language text and save it with your languages locale code as filename ( like en for english, de for german )
  3. Save the file with UTF-8 encoding
  4. To Test it, goto XDM installation folder and copy xdman.jar to your Desktop or any other folder (on windows it should be in a folder named XDM in program files, on linux it should /opt/xdman, on mac os x its in Applications directory)
  5. Rename the file xdman.zip
  6. Open the file in any archiver, and extract the lang folder from the zip file
  7. Put your new translation file inside.
  8. Edit the map file. To make an entry put your file name without .txt extension along with the language name in english and your language, like de=German(Deutsch)
  9. Save the map file in UTF-8 option.
  10. Now add the lang folder back to the zip file.
  11. Rename the zip file back to the jar extension.
  12. Exit XDM from XDM menu File->Exit
  13. Copy the file back into XDM installation folder
  14. Start XDM and goto Tools->Language and select your language.
  15. Restart XDM.
