Localized Languages for the ColdFusion Report Builder

An Italian gentleman on the ColdFusion Reporting forums asked yesterday whether or not the Report Builder would be translated into another language (in his case Italian).  Macromedia does not have plans to do so, but I purposely made the translation settings in the Report Builder simple so anyone could add their own language if they were so inclined.

To translate the Report Builder into the language of your choice, here are the instructions:

  1. make a copy of Languages\English.lang for your language (say Languages\Foo.lang)
  2. open up Foo.lang in a text editor and fill in the blanks. 

    Everything is in the format of a name value pair.  Because some strings might have an equals sign (=) in the sentance, the delimiter is TabChar + '=' + TabChar, other than that it's just like a java properties file.

The file is in UTF-8, however you should *NOT* include the BOM marker. Other than that, have at it.  If you have made a new language file, and you want to share, I'll host it here at CFReport.org along with your name on the page giving you credit :-)
