Manually Building Language Packs

You can manually build non-complete language pack and use it in Device Monitoring Studio. Follow this procedure:

1. Install Git client.

2. Execute a Clone command for the following repository:

   git clone https://github.com/hhd-software/dms-localization-pack.git
   

3. Switch to your language's branch.

4. Run the supplied langtool.exe utility (located at the root of the repository) and open the studio.xml project file.

5. Execute the File » Compile… command and select the language you want to compile.

6. Make sure you have Device Monitoring Studio installed. Compile the Language Pack.

7. Run Device Monitoring Studio and select the language pack in corresponding box on the toolbar.

Using Authoring Mode

Device Monitoring Studio may be launched in so-called "authoring" mode that will allow direct editing of most strings that can be localized. As a result, a corrections file is produced when the application is closed. This corrections file may be imported into the language pack editor.

To start Device Monitoring Studio in authoring mode, use the following command line:

Studio.exe /authoring <path-to-corrections-file>

Where <path-to-corrections-file> should be replaced with a full path of the corrections file. Device Monitoring Studio adds the current date and time and .xml file extension to the end of the path. The file is created when the editor is closed.

String Editing

To edit a title of a window, hold Ctrl and Shift keys and click on a window title. To edit a text label, a button, a checkbox or a radio button, hold Ctrl and Shift keys and click on a control. After finishing editing, press the Enter key. For multi-line controls, press Ctrl+Enter. Press Esc to discard your changes.

Please note that not all strings can be localized using authoring mode.
