  • languages in Synchronet

    Hi all,

    is it possible to have two languages in Synchro (Menus, Bulletins..) and the user is able to decide, what language he will see?

    Yes, but not easy/seemlessly. You would need an alternate-language/locale command shell (paired with alternate-language menu files) and probably an alternate language text.dat file that you load dynamically upon login (from the command shell or logon module). It's doable, but will take some effort. I think there's one or two non-English text.dat or menu sets uploaded here on Vertrauen, but they're kind of old now.

    Hi,

    Thank you Digital Man, I have to be something more familiar with synchronet, in order to penetrate such deeply. For example, I still do not know where the commands, the shortcuts of the menus are stored. ;-)
