[HOWTO] Adding a new WLMStatus translation

[mynetx]

When you're starting to read this, you are probably landed here because you miss your language in WLMStatus. Well, this shouldn't happen quite often as WLMStatus does already support the most used languages, but if you want to add a translation to WLMStatus, please follow the following guide.

1. Add me (mynetx) on Messenger, adding the information that you would like to become a translator, in your add-request. I do not accept all add-requests, so better follow my advice to avoid being ignored
2. You will then be introduced into some internal stuff and if you accept that then, you will get even more stuff via mail.
3. Basically the complete translation consists of (1) the client, (2) the server, and (3) the website.
4. You can start translating the client even before contacting me. Just go to your installation folder of Messenger Plus! Live (usually C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live), then to \Scripts\WLMWebStatus\Languages. Take any other language as template for you, and create your language based on it. Name it following the 2-character shortcut for your language (like 'de' for German, 'fr' for French, etc.).
5. Crediting is surely included when your translation gets added to WLMStatus

FAQ: what has to be translated at the server?

At the server, not a lot things have to be translated.
First of all, the statusses: "Online, Offline, Away, Busy..".
Second: The dates (like "last update: 11 April 2008 12:12").

and that's like it..


Have fun.
