nicko84 37 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I'd like to translate MB3 Classic in French. I've tried to tanslate C:\ProgramData\MediaBrowser-Classic\Localization\strings-en.xml but this file seems to be always copy and paste every time MB Classic is started (from MB Server perhaps ?) In MB2 version it was possible to translate string-en.xml and create strings-fr.xml for example and MB Classic then starts in French. It seems to be not possible in MB3 Classic... Thanks for your answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinjen 36 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 What happens when you copy strings-en.xml into strings-fr.xml? Does the new file disappear? Is it just not used inside MB-Classic? You can't edit strings-en.xml because it is the default language file and making changes to it isn't supported apparently. However I think you should still be able to create strings-fr.xml and use it. If I recall correctly, MB-Classic reads the pc's language setting to determine which language file to use. I'm not 100% sure about that, but is the machine you're trying to use strings-fr.xml on set to French? -Sinjen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14904 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Sinjen is correct. You need to create strings-fr.xml and then set your Windows language to French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicko84 37 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) My Windows language is French I created strings-fr.xml (copy and traduction on strings-en.xml) and copy it in C:\ProgramData\MediaBrowser-Classic\Localization\ When i copy strings-fr.xml with items in French and when i launch MB-Classic all the contain of string-fr.xml is immediately replaced by English items ! It seems crazy but i did several times to be sure and all the time with the same result... NB : I'm using dev versions of MB3 Server and MB Classic Edited November 3, 2013 by nicko84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14904 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Maybe you found a bug. Can I please see a MBC log from when this happens (the .fr file is replaced with english)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicko84 37 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) This is the log file when fr files content is replaced by english text.

nicko84 37 Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Hello, No, i've just copy and modify the string-en.xml file into string-fr.xml file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14904 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Your modifications may contain invalid characters for XML. Did you put an '&' in anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicko84 37 Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Here is the file strings-fr.xml (partial trad...begining and around the end) strings-fr.xml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14904 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I believe all the accented characters are not being interpreted properly in xml. That is your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution ebr 14904 Posted November 4, 2013 Solution Share Posted November 4, 2013 Try this. Add the following line at the very top of your file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> Then, when you save the file in notepad, look at the bottom of the save as window. There will be a drop-down to specify the encoding. It probably says Ansi. Change that to UTF-8 and save it. Then try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicko84 37 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 I think i did what you said but no changes....the file is UTF8 but when i start MB Classic all items are back to english... Can you check if i did good with the joined file and try on your MB Classic...? strings-fr.xml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14904 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Tough for me to test in MBC due to the language thing but I can tell you that document does not load as xml in IE. The one below does. strings-fr.xml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
