You can create a new language file by copying 'English.ini' to a
new file (e.g. 'Tagalog.ini'), and editing the new file. Vopt will
automatically add the new file to its language list (Help->Language)
when Vopt loads.

Acceptable formats for an "ini" file are ANSI, UTF-8, and UTF-16 (FFFE).
ANSI language files must use a charset supported by the "Tahoma" font.
Unicode language files must use a charset supported by either the
"Arial Unicode MS" or "@Arial Unicode MS" fonts.

When editing a language file you must attend to the following:

  1. Edit only in a simple edtor (e.g. 'Notepad'). Do not use a word
  processor which may add its own formatting characters.

  2. Do not add, delete, or reorder any lines.

  3. Do not edit the section headers (e.g. [Menus]).

  4. Do not change the keys (the number to the left of the = character).

  5. The character | (vertical bar) is a line break. You may need to
     reposition line breaks for best appearance. Alternatively, you may
     just start a new line beginning with "*=" (see Engish.ini).

Although in most cases Vopt adjusts control sizes to text sizes, it is
possible that new text will not fit. If so, edit the text to fit.

If you would like to share a new language file, send us a copy so that
we can include it with new product distributions. If you do send us a
new language file, the usual blah, blah ("... becomes the property of
Golden Bow Systems"), applies.

If you have comments or corrections to a language file, we would like
to hear from you. Email: hi@goldenbow.com.

Thanks!
