Language Files

Structure of strings XML files

<Language name="NAME" characters="512" rtl="false">
    <Section name="unmapped">
        <String id="0>Translation 0</String>
        <String id="1>Translation 1</String>
        ...
        <String id="X>Translation X</String>
    </Section>
</Language>

Language is the main section of XML document taking three arguments. Name argument is self explanatory, characters (optional) is the number of characters in the character set (usually varies between 256 and 1524)

1.2.0 beta:   rtl (optional - Default: false) denotes whether language contains right to left characters - used as an argument rtl="true" in the <Language> tag. Option was set to" true" for Hebrew (strings_he.xml).

Section - only "unmapped" section is used and you should always use that when translating.

String is the translation taking id as string identifier and translation as value.

Local Content

Of course, that will not translate local content for you, such as your EPG Guide data, Movie data, etc.

For that data, you can use localized EPG grabbers (sources) or movie info grabbers.

Add Support for a Language

It is very easy to add support for your local language, as well as local content,  if it is not already available.
