XYplorer Beta Club

I have a problem with Korean language. After selecting the Korean language the column names and messages in the status bar come properly in Korean. However all Menu items and sub items are shown as question marks. I tried reinstalling the program as well, but behavior is same all the time.

Please help me if there is a known solution for this. I have installed the "Korean Language Pack - Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (KB2483139)" long time back.

The same thing happened to me. There is something I think you should try. I have not tried it since I was busy but go to Windows Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region > Region and Language. Under the "Administrative" tab, click "Change system locale..." and then change "Current System locale:" to "Korean (Korea)". Restart the computer and now see if XYplorer shows the language correctly.

Hmm, thanks for the tip .. but if so, the same problem should happen for other languages also. But it works for few languages, doesn't work for a few.

It's mainly due to the code page. I don't know how to explain it easily but many languages use the Latin letters code page while others like Hindu, Arabic, Russian, and Eastern languages uses a different code page which usually results in what you see. Just try and see if it works. I have my system set to Japanese because of that same issue (for different programs though). Furthermore, from what I understand, XYplorer supports Unicode but is not natively Unicode so that system setting does have an effect... at least it should have. So hopefully it works this time for you!

Yes, some interface elements (the main menu, buttons, checkboxes ...) do not support Unicode and hence need the system locale set to that language. I will add this to the Help.

Yep exactly this.

@ smahesh555
It seems that you have not tried it since you been on this thread a couple times but never said anything. So here is the proof that it works if you did what I asked you to try.



Awesome isn't it?

@Enternal. Yes it worked. Was waiting for reply from 'admin' just in case there is a way to avoid the reboot

Lol! Completely understand. It's especially annoying to reboot when you already have all these applications open and stuff. Well, glad it worked!

Do you know this?

I have not tried it but it's supposed to make locale changing more comfy.

Ah yes I know about this. It used to work really well but since Windows Vista and 7, there were some problems with it and it's not supported on Windows 7 and above.

Term kd.0669 "Show/Hide the Background Bar." seems a little bit wierd.

I guess it might be "Show/Hide the Status Bar Buttons."

You are absolutely right! (Background Bar is an old obsolete term)

Quick question.

Should I translate the bold entries, or are they regarded as <variables>.
Don't know where they belong, still have a lot to lo learn about XYPlorer

String 3065:

<items> = space-separated list of the currently selected list items in quotes
<item1> = 1st of the selected items
<item2> = 2nd of the selected items
<base> = base-name of each of the selected items (useful for multiple instance calls only)

String 3066

<xy> = XYplorer executable path and name
<xyexe> = XYplorer executable name
<xypath> = XYplorer path
<xydata> = XYplorer data path
<xypane> = XYplorer active pane data path
<xynewitems> = XYplorer new items path
<xytagdat> = XYplorer tags database path/file
<xyscripts> = XYplorer scripts path
<xyini> = XYplorer INI file name
<xydrive> = XYplorer drive (unslashed), e.g. C: or \\Server\Share
<xyver> = XYplorer version
<date yyyymmdd hhnnss> = date/time now

No, these are XYplorer variable names and should remain untranslated. If you copy-paste this into address bar and press enter, you will see a list of all variables:
