How to compile the project (to test translation changes)

[bovirus]

@Bazzu85

Could you explain with details what are the requirements and how to compile your project?

Could be important for the translator to test the translation (creating dll and test it) before to post the changes about .resx file.

Thanks.

1. Clone the repository in Visual Studio (I use the 2019 version)

using the main page address: https://github.com/Bazzu85/MKVmergeBatcher.git

2. When the project is loaded in "Solution explorer"

Double click on the .snl file to open the solution

3. You can now click on "Start" (with debug chosen)

to start building the project and start the application with the current code

The compiled code can be found in bin\Debug folder

4. If not installed you can grab the tool "ResX Manager" from visual studio marketplace and access it from the Tools Menu

and with this you can easily edit the strings

5. If when testing a translation there are some graphical you have to open the correct form, and change the language from Default to the incriminated language

and fix the glitch. When done you can click again on Start to build and launch the modified application

Starting VS2019 and cloning the projecyt at startup I goit these warning

Copying file changed resx file and re-run .sln project I didn't see the changes both using start or creating a new build.
What's the problem?

If you open AboutForm.cs and change the language to "Italian (Italy)" do you see the changes into VS?

Remember to change the language at the form level when Codind/Drawing

No I didn't see the changes about that I appled to resx file.

Are you sure you applied your resx?

Why don't you use the Resx Manager and fix the translation from there?
