Translation

The user interface of Advanced Task Scheduler can be displayed in different languages. The current language can be selected from the Options / Language menu.

If you did not find your language in the list of available translations, you can translate Advanced Task Scheduler by yourself. You only need to translate a single file that contains all text strings that are used in the Advanced Task Scheduler. In return for the translation that we don't yet have, we are offering you a free license of Advanced Task Scheduler. Please send your translation to our Support Service.

All dialog box controls in Advanced Task Scheduler are automatically resized according to their text. So it should not be the problem if the text in your language is longer than the same text in English. In that case, all dialog box controls will be rearranged so the longer text will be fully visible.

Translation Guidelines

All strings used in Advanced Task Scheduler are located in gettext-compatible translation files in the "languages" subfolder in the folder where Advanced Task Scheduler is installed. When program is started it tries to load a language file, corresponding to the selected language. If it fails, then default (English) language file is used.

Creating a new translation:

  1. Download and install a program called poedit.
  2. Decompile the english.mo file into a english.po file from the command line with poedit: C:\Program files\poedit\bin\msgunfmt.exe english.mo > english.po
  3. Rename english.po to standard name of your language according to the standard language file names from this table with .po extension.
  4. Now open your .po file with poedit and translate everything you need to translate.
  5. Save - make sure that beside the .po file also the binary .mo file is created (the application will use the .mo file to display the translations).
  6. Send us the new .po file and claim your free license of the translated product.

Text strings may contain special format characters. Please keep formatting as close to the original as possible. Special characters and their meaning can be found in the following table:
