The texts.properties/texts_xx.properties Files
(An exerpt from a texts.properties file is given below)
Texts.properties and texts_xx.properties files are used for two purposes:
- To provide language localization for the various languages supported by BluPlusPlus
- To specify the exact wording used for various messages, tooltips, prefixes, etc. used in BluPlusPlus
The texts.properties file contains the “master” information and should not be altered. If a particular language pack (a file whose name is of the form texts_xx.properties, where xx is the two-character language abbrevious) does not contain a translation for a particular item, the (English) version of the item contained in the text.properties file will be used instead.
The format of the entries in a texts.properties file is the the following
text_variable_name2=desired value
etc.
A texts.properties File Example
on-first-page=You have reached the first page
##### Slide-page specific properties...
slide-show=Start/Stop the slide show
download-sound=Download sound annotation file
comment=Comment:
# Photographic metadata
meta-maker-tags=Maker-specific tags
The texts_en.properties file specifies the English language translations of the terms on the left side of the equals sign (the ‘text_variables’ in the texts.properties file). The values on the right side of the equals sign in the texts_en.properties file can be changed to customize what appears in an album. For example, by editing the texts_en.properties file so that download-sound=Download sound annotation file is replaced by download-sound=Download sound file, “Download sound file” appears in a generated album. As a second example, replacing meta-maker-tags=Maker-specific tags with meta-maker-tags=Camera-specific tags would change the title that appears in the EXIF information box before EXIF information that is camera-specific.
Lines that beging with a hash mark/pound sign (‘#’) are treated as comments and are ignored.
