WindowBlinds supports a number of languages, and will load the same language as your Windows system.  However, if your language isn't found, WindowBlinds will by default load the English versions of: prompts, descriptive text, etc.  This section describes how you can translate from any language currently supported by WindowBlinds into your own language.

Each language is stored by name with the extension .LNG6 in the "lang" (without quotes) folder under the WindowBlinds folder.  The full default path is:
Windows Vista or XP:
C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\WindowBlinds\Lang
This path maybe different if you installed to a different drive & folder.

Under the \WindowBlinds\lang folder for English is a file called: English.lng6. This is a Unicode text file, which Notepad in Vista & XP can read correctly.  In Windows Explorer double-click this file, and at the prompt "Windows cannot open this file", select "Select a program from a list of installed programs." and click .  Select Notepad, then uncheck the box for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and click to open the file.   Each line is numbered and contains text following the equals sign enclosed in quotes that has to be translated.

Examples:
A1="Look & Feel"
A2="Wallpapers"
A3="Settings"
58010="View my system information"
A38="Apply my changes"
A39="Edit in SkinStudio"

Save the file as the name of the language your translating it to and give it the extension .LNG6 (i.e. English.lng6) lowercase is fine, uppercase shown for clarity.

There are some lines that include special commands for WindowBlinds, they consist of one or two ampersand signs (&) followed by a word without a space.  Please leave these in place as you translate.  Also, the pipe (|) symbol is special.  When translating make sure you leave the opening & closing quotes around the text.  The lines are as follows, but there maybe others in software upgrades:

Examples:
232="&Performance..."
233="&Backgrounds"
9002="Enable if you have corrupted titlebar buttons && text backgrounds"
234="&Modify per application setting"
1000 = "&Configure WindowBlinds"
1007 = "&Unload WindowBlinds"

The Pipe:
52="Applications (*.exe)|*.exe||"  <--- "|" (pipe) and "||" (double pipe) symbols.
80="WindowBlinds Skin Archives (*.WBA,*.ZIP)|*.WBA;*.ZIP||"
114="WindowBlinds Skin Archives (*.WBA,*.ZIP)|*.WBA;*.ZIP||"

Normal ampersand signs (short for the word "and") as part of the grammar will have a blank space on both sides.
A1="Look & Feel"
A9="Transparency & Blur"
