Hi guys,
Having done most of the translations for OS4.1, I think now it's time to update the old dutch.language.
It seems that I have to create a language.catalog that will overrule some strings in dutch.language.
I have found language.cd, and BuildLanguageCT too, and I have done the following:
BuildLanguageCT language.cd CTFILE language.ct
and that gave me a nice language.ct-file. I have edited some strings and did:
catcomp language.cd language.ct CATALOG language.catalog
and thus created a language.catalog. Placed this in sys:locale/catalogs/dutch/sys, rebooted, and then nothing. It turned out that the old dutch.language is still in charge.
I have surely done something wrong, or even something stupid, but if I only knew what...

Re: editing dutch.language
Perhaps you need to enter Locale Preferences and clear languages save and exit re-enter select it and save etc
OR
in a shell delete sys:prefs/env-archive/sys/locale.prefs
reset machine then select it via preferences etc
a few things you can try, of course I might be way off the mark
Sounds like once a language is set it is imported and saved elsewhere or similair

Been there, done that. To no avail, I am afraid.

Re: editing dutch.language
Then I guess you have done something wrong you've either replaced the wrong file or not updated something else as well or a combination of both, but of course you suggested this in your initial post

Re: editing dutch.language
What are you trying to change? I mean, the output as seen on ???
There are many different places where language files are situated. Prefs editors, for instance, have their own Locale file with every prefs editor's text in it.
Maybe you have just changed the wrong file, which is why I asked what exactly are you trying to change?

Re: editing dutch.language
There are certain strings that don't come from a .catalog-file but rather from xx.language (which holds names of days and months, and terms like "today", "tomorrow" etc). A .language-file is not something a translator can make himself, unlike a .catalog-file.
Now it seems to be possible to create a .catalog that will override (some) strings in a .language and that is what I am trying to achieve.
There is a language.cd, out of which I can make a language.ct (through BuildLanguageCT, a CatComp-lookalike) but that fails, in my case.

Re: editing dutch.language
Haven't try, but do you copy such .catalog in LOCALE:<language>/Sys?
I'll try to compile language.catalog to spanish and see if I see the changes.

This is correct... dutch.language may be like the chinese.language, japanese.language and korean.language files I am writing as part of perception-ime on http://code.google.com/p/perception-ime/
do you need to rebuild the dutch language with updated strings?
