Documentation Concerning SiteSkin - Language XML



There is a .xml file for each chooseable language. You can adjust these texts to your requirements and also add the other languages you need.

  • Path to the .xml files:
    SiteKiosk Installationsordner/languages/

  •  

    Changing text within a language.xml file

      Approach:
      Please proceed as follows:
      Look for the .xml-file you like to modify:
      • Startpage-Templates
        SiteKiosk Installation Folder/Languages/Startpages
      • Browser-Skins
        SiteKiosk Installation Folder/Languages/Browserskins

      Just in case make a copy of the file you like to edit. Then open the file using the text editor notepad.exe under Win2K or WinXP. Please make sure to use Notepad rather than WinWord or similar software products. The reason for this is that stringtable.xml contains UTF8-encoded characters in order to be able to display special characters or non-Latin characters more accurately. UTF-8 will encode characters with more than 8 bits only if necessary.

      Thus, if you want to edit the file, please make sure you use a text editor under Win2K or XP. Unfortunately, Windows98 does not yet provide UTF8 support for this editor.

      It is of major importance to ensure the stringtable IDs remain unaltered and correct:
      <string id="1">Forward</string> 
      
      change it to:
      
      <string id="1">yourtranslation</string> 
      

      It is important to roughly observe the length of the individual strings. It's fine to use shorter pieces of text, but you should try and avoid longer ones.

      When you have finished your translation, please send it to us by e-mail. We will take care of the implementation of the new language then and will create a new installation version.

      Using special characters within the stringtable
      You must specify all special characters you want to be interpreted as HTML tags as decimal values.
      Example:
      	&#60; = "<"
      	&#62; = ">"
      	&#38; = "&"
      	&#59; = ";"
      	
      	e.g.:
      	&#38;nbsp&#59; = "&nbsp;" - Non Breakable Space
      	&#60;br/&#62;  = "<br/>" - Line Break
      

      You will find an overview of all special characters including the corresponding decimal values at http://www.html-world.de/program/html_sz.php

      Language IDs
      Every language starts with a definition of the Language ID and ends in </language>. The individual String IDs are to be found within the language definition.

      <language id="9">
      	<string id="1">Forward</string> 
      </language>
