Manually Building Language Packs

You can manually build non-complete language pack and use it in Hex Editor Neo. Follow this procedure:

1. Install Git client.

2. Execute a Clone command for the following repository:

   git clone https://github.com/hhd-software/hex-editor-localization-pack.git
   

3. Switch to your language's branch.

4. Run the supplied langtool.exe utility (located at the root of the repository) and open the hex.xml project file.

5. Execute the File » Compile… command and select the language you want to compile.

6. Make sure you have Hex Editor Neo installed. Compile the Language Pack.

7. Run Hex Editor Neo and select the language pack in corresponding box on the toolbar.

Using Authoring Mode

Hex Editor Neo may be launched in so-called "authoring" mode that will allow direct editing of most strings that can be localized. As a result, a corrections file is produced when the editor is closed. This corrections file may be imported into the language pack editor.

To start Hex Editor Neo in authoring mode, use the following command line:

HexFrame.exe /authoring <path-to-corrections-file>

Where <path-to-corrections-file should be replaced with a full path of the corrections file. Hex Editor Neo adds the current date and time and .xml file extension to the end of the path. The file is created when the editor is closed.

String Editing

To edit a title of a window, hold Ctrl and Shift keys and click on a window title. To edit a text label, a button, a checkbox or a radio button, hold Ctrl and Shift keys and click on a control. After finishing editing, press the Enter key. For multi-line controls, press Ctrl+Enter. Press Esc to discard your changes.

Please note that not all strings can be localized using authoring mode.
