I'd be happy to translate to Dutch. I have downloaded the French version and tried to translate that files. One of them i was able to edit, the other one i couldn't edit. (What software do i need?)

For the .nib files, you'll need Interface Builder, that is packaged with XCode ( connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/306/wo/fa1N9EGWNfFx3UhNobs161DnBOZ/2.0.17.2.5 )
But TuneConnect's Mainmenu.nib does not seem to be editable...

Hey guys,

Any localization you'd like to do is much appreciated. :)

As you can guess, Localizable.strings is the file for all hard-coded strings in the app. The file for the UI is MainMenu.xib, not .nib-- starting with Interface Builder 3, Apple added a new XML-based file format for the UI that is more compatible with source code management systems. During compilation, the .xib is translated automatically into a .nib, but that won't show up in the project source.

Also, check out ibtool: developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/ibtool.1.html

It allows you to create a .strings file from a nib or xib, then merge translated strings back in. Little tricky, but might help since there are a lot of obscure pieces of the UI that need translating.

Thanks guys!

Hello,
I'm using nibtool (as I'm on Tiger), but I get an error with your file :
nibtool: could not open '/Users/pierre/Desktop/French.lproj/MainMenu.nib'.
May be it can just be opened with Leopard ?
Too bad...

'fraid so. :( I'm doing all dev on Leopard.

What I can do, however, is include strings exports from my xib's in the next source update, and you can translate those, since they'll just be text files.

My goal is to release the 2.1 update by the end of next week, I'll put this on my todo list. :)

Thanks for the translation. :) I may be able to put it into 2.2 if/when it's released. I've been quite busy lately, and am consider just rolling any remaining few fixes into 2.2, and then stopping development until 3.0 early next year.
