Also, you can translate the xml file if the txt files are not available for now. In any case, please, contact us for further instructions concerning ABViewer translation.

How to Translate the TXT Files

The TXT file is divided into several parts for every language; each of them contains text strings and sentences used in the software interface, e.g. the Open command on the File tab.

At the moment ABViewer is fully translated into the following languages:

Chinese, Czech, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Turkish, Russian and Spanish.

While the translation, please follow the simple rules:

  • Do not translate the text in front of the '=' character
  • Do not translate the string if it begins with '#' – this is a comment
  • Do not translate the text enclosed in square brackets ([ ])
  • Do not delete characters like %s, %d, %CRLF% - these are variables
