How to Translate a Gadget/Menu

[markreidyhp]

Apps needed: Trillix
1. Download the menu and/or gadget (from now on referred to as the swf).
2. Open trillix
3. Open the swf

4. Click the 'Edit' tab

5. Click the 'texts' button

6. Work through the texts, translating them into English, or whatever language you need. (When you try to chnage them it'll tell you that you have to change the font. Change it to whatever font you want. I use times new roman as its a plain font. DONT USE COMIC SANS! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T USE IT!)

Tip: If you do not know what one of the words mean, click the menu.swf/gadget.swf in the tasks sidebar and navigate to it using the player. Or use google translate, but be careful with google, as it may not be right.
If the text is greyed out when you try to edit it, change the font.
7. When your done, hit save.
Now you've translated a menu/gadget.

I might post images later if anyone thinks that they would help.

great tut it will help people a lot 

[chandradithya]

Thats kindda for the basic one,
but most of the themes have dynamic texts...and i cant rename them,
and what is the font.swf in a swf file for?

[markreidyhp]

I don't know how to change dynamic text.
But if anyone does please post how to!

[Keiran]

for dynamic texts you have to edit the script for the dynamic text

[markreidyhp]

But how does one find this script file and edit it?

[chandradithya]

If you find Editing the scripts bugging,
the easier way is to edit them is to open via sothink swf quicker,
it is just like editing the preview of the swf file...
dynamic texts is also supported

[xyz]

bad way, better to decompile it and then edit using adobe flash

[markreidyhp]

but its easyier to get trillix

[Keiran]

Decompile just to recompile? just edit the texts in trillix

[xyz]

could trillix edit fonts? or dynamic text?

[Keiran]

just standalone texts

[xyz]

just standalone texts

then it will be better to decompile it and edit

[Keiran]

why not just edit?
no need for decompiling

[markreidyhp]

Most dynamic texts are non-essential for day to day use.

[Keiran]

If anyone has problems with dynamic text just replace it ive heard

[jdotcong]

if its dynamic text then it would not appear as any language if your phone is set to english

[™¤»Aamir«¤™]

dynamic texts cannot be edited through trillix i think you edit these texts using SWF Quicker or decompile it and edit with adobe flash

[Keiran]

SWF Quicker. Adobe is non-user-friendly

juts some advices from me 
#1 replace images --> Trillix

#2 replace static text --> Trillix

#3 replace bitmap text --> Trillix (create a png file of translated bitmap text)
example: http://darkforestgroup.com/forum/index.php?topic=3952.msg29433#msg29433

#4 replace dynamic text --> Quicker (edit the variable in actions script)

why don't decompile .swf to .fla?
#1 decompiled .fla file may be broken when decompiled.
this possibly because of movie clip not decompiled correctly and actionscript incorrectly translated.
to fix this you have to check every script and every movie clip (you'll do a lot of debugging instead of translating  )

#2 font compatibility
the maker maybe use custom font that not available on your computer, the decompiler will replace it to similar one. the result my affect the size and position of the text which need to be refixed.
----
decompile may be good if you want to create a menu and copy a content from decompiled menu

I kinda agree with this post from allanas. But I have one question though (hope its still on topic): when it comes to translation, would adding a function to read texts from xmls depending on their language selected on the settings help (example: you selected italiano on the settings, then you have ita_menu.xml that contains menu names, etc)?

if the script shows weird characters then the swf is encrypted..
