Short: Very powerful localization tool, v0.91 Author: fraborg@tiscalinet.it (Borghese & Di Giacomo) Uploader: fraborg tiscalinet it (Francesco Borghese) Type: dev/c Version: 0.91 Requires: OS 2.1, MUI 3.0, CatComp Architecture: m68k-amigaos Dorkalize is a utility that takes C source files and adds support for AmigaOS localization by replacing the strings contained in them with calls to the appropriate OS functions, allows input and editing of their translations, generates the catalog descriptor files used by CatComp to create catalogs, and then spawns CatComp itself to create the catalogs. This allows you to program without cluttering your sources with calls which make them much less readable. Unlike other programs of the same type, Dorkalize allows you to perform further development of your program on the original sources, without having to deal with the clumsy defines and/or function calls which replace printable strings. Dorkalize will keep track of the modifications you had made to your sources and will recover the localized strings and their translations from the previous version. At every new version, you only have to select which strings of the new ones you entered you want to be localized, enter their translations, and compile the localized sources. Dorkalize will do all the rest, up to creating the catalog. Dorkalize requires any Amiga with at least OS 2.1 and MUI 3.0 or better, the MUI custom classes NList.mcc and BetterString.mcc (included), and the Commodore localization tool CatComp (you can find CatComp in the 3.1 Native Developer Kit). New in v0.91 (20/02/2001): - Doubleclicking an entry in the string lists in the String or Filtered string window no more moves it; instead it launches a configurable command to spawn an external viewer. - After pressing "Remove" button in the String window or "Add back" button in the Filtered string window, the active entry is no more selected to avoid unwanted moving of strings from the lists. - Added ghosting of unused strings. - Added "Copy from original" button in translation window. - Added "Recover new translation" button in main window to recover work done in translation window. - Replaced "Toggle type" and "Toggle status" buttons with "Pass", "Stop", "Active", "Inactive" buttons in the filter window. - Added Remove button to Input file list. - Some bugfixes. This program is freeware. You can use and spread it any way you like. Please email us if you use it and you think there is something which does not work or could be improved.
