Notes
- Do not translate product names such as 'AllDup', 'Windows', ...
- Take care if you use an automatic translation tool such as google translator or similar to translate the English text file into your language. Such tools will break the format of the language file and create wrong translations of the English text. In such a case, after the automatic translation, you should compare each translated line with the original English text and check whether the automatic translation was carried out correctly and adjust the translation if necessary.
- Sometimes a translated text needs more space to fit into the layout of the user interface: create a screenshot of the truncated text and send us the screenshot to translation@mtsd.de.
- The translation file must be saved with the UTF-16 format without BOM.
Send us the new translation
Please send us the translation file 'lang.txt' to translation@mtsd.de after you completed the translation. We will review your translation and release it with the next update of AllDup. In return for translating the software into a new language we offer you a free business license of our commercial folder sync and backup software AllSync.Format of the language file
