Code: Select all

Yes, that's what it is supposed to be called on a German Windows. On an English Windows it's "Back" and "Forward", in Italian "Indietro" and "Adelante".

Code: Select all

In the original version, you cannot. It's automatic.
In the redistributable version you can add your own translations. Download the redist package from https://www.helpandmanual.com/ewriter/ and open the PDF documentation, chapter "Localization".

Thank you, this is what I need!


One more question: I would like to change the strings BACK and FORWARD only. As the documentation says, when I create an eviewer.lang file with only some entries, the rest of the strings defaults to English. But I need German GUI. So I need to save a complete eviewer.lang file with all entries. Where can I find the German standard localization strings?

Dear reader,

you may ask yourself why I want to change the strings. I want to distinguish the two kinds of back/forward buttons. The big ones are part of the skin and located next to the hamburger menue. They navigate back and forth in the TOC.
The little ones in the title bar next to the eviewer menue are part of the eviewer software itself. They navigate back and forth in the history of the visited chapters. So I would like to express this difference in the tooltips:

Back (history)
Forward (history)

This is the last post with an open question, lest it be overseen because of my merely explanatory post coming after it.

To all who are interested in the German localization:

My suggestion for the German eviewer.lang is as follows:

Code: Select all

BACK=&Zurück (Verlauf)
FORWARD=Vor&wärts (Verlauf)
OK=OK
CANCEL=Abbrechen
ZOOMOUT=Ver&kleinern
ZOOMIN=Ver&größern
PRINT=&Drucken
ABOUT=Info...
OPEN=Öffnen...
OPENRECENT=Zuletzt geöffnet
CLEARRECENT=Liste löschen
CLICKTOOPEN=Klicken Sie auf das Logo, um ein eWriter-E-Book zu öffnen!
CLEARCACHE=Browser-Cache löschen und Seite neu laden?
EWRITERFILEFILTER%s=eWriter-E-Books|%s
ERR_FILENOTFOUND%s=Die Datei "%s" wurde nicht gefunden!
ERR_OPENINVALID%s=Die Datei "%s" kann nicht geöffnet werden. Die Datei ist beschädigt oder hat ein ungültiges Format.
ERR_EXPIRED%s=Datei "%s" kann nicht geöffnet werden. Die Datei ist abgelaufen.
ERR_PASSWORDFAILURE%s='Datei "%s" kann nicht geöffnet werden. Das Passwort ist falsch!
Especially the entries BACK and FORWARD as opposed to the respective navigation buttons of the skin (history vs. TOC).
