Prerequisites You need PD Pro version 4. The menus of the main application are based on an external resource file named Menus.txt - the default file is for English menus, but you can replace that file with one for a different language. The file Menus.txt can be found in the folder where you installed PD Pro 3.7. By default this should be in C:\Program Files\PD Pro
if you upgraded from the web edition of PD Pro 3, or possibly in C:\Program Files\Project
Dogwaffle Professional
for a fresh installation of 4.0. Wherever it's installed, open that folder and look for a file named 'Menus.txt' Note: If you only see a file named 'Menus' instead of 'Menus.txt' (i.e. it is listed without the '.txt' extension at the end), then it probably means that your computer's Windows Explorer is configured to 'Hide extensions of known file types'. This is an option in 'Folder Options' which can be changed from the Control panel. You can also access and change it in the Tools menu of the explorer window. We recommend that you don't let Windows hide the extensions, so that you can see each and every file in their full name. How to change the language file: PD Pro will use the file currently named Menus.txt for its main menus. Before installing a new language file in there, make a backup copy of the original. Or rename the default one which came with the installation. Rename it to a name like 'Menus_english.txt' or simply 'Menus_en.txt', for example. Then simply copy the desired file into the installation folder to replace the current Menus.txt file. Available Language Files: Right-click the desired file to save it into the PD Pro folder. Extract the text file found within the zip file. Then rename it to Menus.txt
How to Translate to your own language If you're interested in creating a Menus.txt file for another language, use Wordpad (not Notepad - because of tab formating). If you have any questions, contact Philip |
