Translation Help

If you'd like to volunteer for translating  (or updating e.g. Japanese) the user interface of Expresii into  your language, please download this  .po  translation file    (Japanese, acting as a sample) and  this .htm   Hotkey list  file  (English), edit them and send us back.
We'll give you a free license for Expresii for compensation.  ╭( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑    

The .po  file is just a plan text file that you can edit with any text editor, but you probably want to use one of the  dedicated .PO editors like  POEdit  so that you can generate a .mo file (in POedit,  just press the Save icon and both .po and .mo files are saved) to test out your text.  You do so by replacing the 'default.mo' file in say the Japanese translation folders  of Expresii,  which  looks like  this:    C:\Program Files (x86)\Expresii\Locale\ja\  LC_MESSAGES. You will still  choose Japanese in Expresii to see your changes.  

For the hotkey list file, it's standard HTML file that you can edit with any HTML editor.

More Notes

​ Why this page exists?
One day we got  an email from Daniel Siron  volunteering for translating our UI to French (citing he also did it for other programs).  We accepted the offer and  he also accepted our offer for free Expresii license for thanking him saying he actually prefers  the barter system  in such situation.
It's  true that  one such translation, say,  via  fiverr.com is actually cheaper than one Expresii license, but  we believe it's better if the translation  comes from our users and those users receive a value greater than  what others ask for at fiverr. ​
Some of the Texts not translated?
Those texts in drop-down combo-box​es are not currently translated due to some technical issue.  Also, the on-screen icon hints are not translated yet. But of course you're welcome to send us those translations in a separate note  so that we can incorporate them when we get the technical issues ironed out.
