Updated translation files (RESX files) will be picked up before each release and used as-is as long as they pass ResXCheck validation ( http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/9497-resxcheck-tool-check-your-translations-before-publishing/ ).

Any new strings added to Paint.NET will default to using machine translation. It'll be up to translators to provide better text (if necessary, which it probably is) in time for any public release of Paint.NET. I will not delay any release for the sake of translations. Thankfully this is the Internet and so there's always another train (update) coming, so to speak.

I've just finished (a first draft of) a translation of Paint.NET into Latin. Everything works all well and good, save for one specific caveat: when I go select the language, it's listed as its English exonym, i.e. "Latin", which in Latin is ungrammatical (especially so in a sentence like "Paint.NET clauditur, tum reinitiat in Latin"). 

I could not find this string anywhere within the .resx file, so is there any other way to override whatever the program chose to call the language?

Thank you in advance! ^u^

I'm Corsican translator for paint.net and I made proposals 7 months ago to change some strings. I would like to know when these changes will be taken into account.

For each change, I created an issue to inform that the current string was not correct. In the past, it looked to be the correct procedure. I hope this is still true.

For other projects on Crowdin, in addition to the Translator function, I have the Approval function for Corsican language, which allows me to correct a wrong string in Approved status. This additional role could be a way to simplify and speed up the current procedure.

Best regards,
Patriccollu.

I provided Corsican translation to paint.net in September 2021 and this new language was distributed with version 4.3.3.

I regularly maintain the translation on Crowdin for the new and modified strings.

I recently received the following notifications from Crowdin regarding paint.net:
    Nov 23, 2022    05:30    220 strings were added to the project paint.net
    Nov 23, 2022    18:00    1 string was added to the project paint.net
    Nov 27, 2022    19:35    1 string was added to the project paint.net
    Dec 01, 2022    02:40    1 string was added to the project paint.net
    Dec 01, 2022    17:20    2 strings were added to the project paint.net
    Dec 03, 2022    02:20    2 strings were added to the project paint.net
    Dec 05, 2022    02:25    2 strings were added to the project paint.net
    Dec 08, 2022    00:50     1 string was added to the project paint.net

When I checked the remaining strings to translate, I was expecting several but I was surprised to see that Corsican was translated at 100%! But after checking the translations which have been provided, I noticed that most of them contain a wrong translation.

I translate several applications on Crowdin (and other translation systems) and the process is usually the following: for each string added or modified, a notification is sent and Crowdin shows the untranslated strings. Then the translator fills in the strings with the appropriate translation. Sometimes the string can be automatically filled in with machine translation when its contents match at 100%.

In the present case, 257 strings were filled in by user skizatch and they all need to be checked, then most of them need to be updated with correct translation. It would have been simpler for the translator to leave the translation empty.

Please can you explain the current situation and clarify the process of translation? And automatic machine translation if any?

Best regards,
Patriccollu.

Around a month ago I suggested Japanese translations at the Crowdin. But none of my suggestions were appeared in the app yet (V4.3.3). It is because all existing translations were approved.

I'm confident my translations are good enough and have many improvements, so could you consider disapproving all Japanese translations temporarily? So that newly suggested translations (mostly from me) can be appearing in the next update.

Thank you,

interesting

Corsican language is now available!

Please find attached below the brand new .resx file in a zip file. It is based on the file distributed with version 4.2.16.

You can find here the installation instructions - in Corsican - about how to install the .resources file to use paint.net in this language.

Best regards,
Patriccollu.

Is there an updated translation to Hebrew that works with the latest Paint.net version?

Thanks,

Shimon

how to do this

You don't have to go looking for the resx file any more either. With the release of paint.net 4.0.12 the resx file is installed along with the rest of paint.net. Find the resx file in the \resx\ sub folder in the paint.net installation folder (default: C:\Program Files\paint.net\resx\). The file is PaintDotNet.Strings.3.resx.

I just noticed that some tools icons show weird shortkeys. See image below.

What could be the cause of this?

To install it extract the resources file to paint.net installation folder, start paint.net, go to settings and choose greek.

Greek description:

Ελληνική μετάφραση! Δεν μετέφρασα τα πάντα, αλλά σχεδόν όλα! Δεν μετέφρασα ότι δεν κατάφερα να βρω μια μετάφραση ανεκτή, να έχει νόημα, μερικοί όροι αποδίδονται καλύτερα στα αγγλικά.. Αν έχετε προτάσεις για βελτίωση ή επιπλέον μετάφραση είναι όλα ευπρόσδεκτα! Ελπίζω να έκανα καλή δουλειά! Η τρέχουσα έκδοση που πήρα το αρχείο κ το μετέφρασα είναι η 4.1.5.

Για εγκατάσταση αποσυμπιέστε το αρχείο resources στο φάκελο εγκατάστασης του paint.net, ανοίξτε το paint.net και από τις ρυθμίσεις επιλέγετε Ελληνικά.

I'm attaching the archive which contains .resx file and localized "Get it from Microsoft" images.

As I remember, previous versions of PAINT.net had Ukrainian user interface. But after one of updates it was lost.

Are there any ppl, who can help with translation into Ukrainian, and does anybody have Ukrainian language file from the previous versions?

• Czech
• Polish
• Slovak
• Russian
• Ukrainian

Am I right about the correctness of the translation?

I have prepared a new localization for Slovak version for paint.net version 4.2.8. 

PaintDotNet.Strings.3.SK.zipImages.GetItOnWindows10.zip

Please include, if possible, among the official translations

With the recent push from Microsoft adding localisation and variation to the different English dialects, I thought it would be appropriate to create a English GB localisation for Paint.NET!

British English is used in:

United Kingdom (obviously)

Australia

New Zealand

To install,

Download here: https://yadi.sk/d/4u7xhz20wfcL9w

download the resource file, locate your Paint.NET install, usually located in C:/Program Files/paint.net

and drop the resource file in there. Start up the program, click settings and it should be labeled English (United Kingdom)

(Not sure how to get a proper name for it, couldn't find a tag for it.) thank you Null54!

I want support your product
 
And translate your software into Arabic

If not translated to Arabic 

If the program needs to update the Arabic translation

If supports multiple languages

and UTF-8 encoding

I think at the moment it does not matter changing the user interface to "right to left" because there is a lot of work out there.

I hope accepting my invitation with the full support for your software

please replay with agree or disagree,
 we don't take money

Also Please write the program name and download link

In the meantime (before the update in which this translation would be applied), I guess that curious people (presumably Norwegians) can also download the file for manual use.

I made a new Hebrew translation for paint.net.

Feel free to provide suggestions if you think it needs an improvement.
