We are creating this thread should any community members wish to post translations for languages or updates to ones that already exist.
The Languages that Stardock supports and will update:
All other languages will not be directly supported by Stardock nor will they be included in any install.
Where are language files stored?
For Stardock applications that support language edits, there will be a 'lang' directory in the application installation folder. For example, Groupy's would be:
\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Groupy\lang
An app that does not support language edits would not have that directory (Fences would be an example of one that does not).
The .lng files listed there are human-readable text files - easily edited in notepad for example.
How are language files formatted?
The format would be:
'English text'='translated text'
English (en) file example:
"Which theme do you want to use?"="Which theme do you want to use?"
Spanish (es) file example:
"Which theme do you want to use?"="¿Qué tema quieres usar?"
For prime languages that have variations, Chinese (Traditional \ Simplified) or Portugues (Brazil) for example, the following line needs to exist:
Exist=1Example:
If you wanted to add a notation to a line, to describe a reason for some translation perhaps, you can use the semicolon as an escape character.
Example:
;Changed from;"Which style of start menu would you prefer?"="选择「开始」菜单样式:";To"Which style of start menu would you prefer?"="选择「开始"
Note: The English file included with the installer should have the most recent phrases for everything in the UI. If the phrase does not exist in the currently supported alternant language, adding it, with its translation, would be required.
Submitting languages
The following post would be an example of what would be acceptable to have it be considered for inclusion.
Line number (Notepad++ has them for example):Old Text:New text:Shared link to lng file: <link>
One should be sure that the text fits in the UI, for example, this would be unacceptable:
We will monitor this thread for submissions and evaluate any of the Stardock supported languages for inclusion in an official update \ installer.
We will do the same for any unsupported languages, and update this thread with them, but they will not be included in any official installation file.
Clients that do summit translations for the aforementioned Stardock supported languages, and they are accepted into an install, will likely be compensated with non-monetary items - for example, new or extensions to Object Desktop subscriptions.
Depending on how this goes, we will create like threads for other supported products.
We appreciate any effort members put into this.

Wow, you cleaned this up nicely:

This seems to be the one that does not quite fit, however:
If that could be rephrased, great.
In any event, I have added an Object Desktop sub to your Stardock account:
The changes will be included in the next version.
Thank you, Mike.
First: Thank you very much for the license. That's really great to be able to use Groupy in the latest version!
Second:Updated language file: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Arkn_RFAGbHOcyTMZ76v1wQv_cw?e=r6Fd6Q
Actually, I missed that string - and we both missed another one - I saw it in your "after screenshot"... Some updates:
Line: 49Old: "Tastenkürzel für das Umschalten in einer Gruppe aktivieren"New: "Tastenkürzel für den Tab-Wechsel aktivieren"
Line: 204Old: "Strg + Tab und Shift + Strg + Tab als Tastenkürzel zum Wechsel zwischen Tabs registrieren"New: "Strg + Tab und Shift + Strg + Tab als Tastenkürzel für Tab-Wechsel registrieren"
Line: 211Old: <missing>New: "Im Oberhalb-Anzeigen-Modus Schaltfläche zum Schließen aller Tabs anzeigen"
You are most welcome.
Updated, thanks again, Mike.

Hola, buenas tardes, he arreglado y mejorado la traducción al español de groupy está completa, aun así hay partes que no hay espacio, no caben todas las letras. eso depende de ti hacer espacio (dejo a tu criterio arreglar los espacios para que la traducción se lea completa).
las letras. depende de ti hacer espacio (dejo que hagas espacio para que la traducción se lea completa).

Hello, good afternoon, I have fixed and improved the Spanish translation of groupy is complete, even so there are parts that there is no space, not all the letters fit. that depends on you to make space (I leave it in your hand to accommodate the space to read the complete translation).

Hi, I translated Groupy to Russian about a year ago and it's still working.Here you are: https://disk.yandex.ru/d/v_F4yubhcxEXsQNot the best time actually, but it's better than never Steam thread in russian
When I was translating Groupy2, I found that some fields could not be translated, even if they were defined in lng
I'd like to update the German translation. Is there a complete file, which contains the English strings? en.lng seems to contain only the strings from Groupy 1.
Quoting Big--Mike, reply 17 I'd like to update the German translation. Is there a complete file, which contains the English strings? en.lng seems to contain only the strings from Groupy 1.
+1，I also need such a file, because I translate in modules, many things are not available
Well, I've updated the translation:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!Arkn_RFAGbHOgT9SN65F2ALCSPZn?e=eKLkMr
But there are still many strings, which seem untranslatable at the moment and I don't know if I missed some...
Big Mike,
The latest update (released on the 13th) should have the new Groupy 2 strings
Paul ScrogginsAssociate Technical Support Analyst
It's impossible to translate, also with the latest version:
First thing I tried: Text in GUI:"The tabs are placed above the window title bar.\n\nCan be set to only show on mouseover on the tab appearance page."
Text (only finding) in en.lng:"The tabs are placed above the window title bar.\n\nCan be configured to only show on hover from the tab appearance page."
I can't manage to translate this passage at all.
I have updated the name of this thread to designate that it is for Groupy 1. Groupy 2 translation evaluation is being handled here:

It sounds like you have the Groupy 2 release lng file with an earlier beta of the config hence the mismatch,
If you uninstall, reboot and reinstall you should get the right files which all match up.
