Re: [PATCH] Add japanese translation.

[Eiji Tanioka <tanioka404@gmail.com>]

Hi Simon,

I read "resources.rc", and start working.
and I have question about it.

- For Japanese resource, copy from line 45-50 and paste it at EOF
- Rewrite "LANG_ENGLISH" to "LANG_JAPANESE"
- Rewrite "040904b0" to "041104b0"
- Rewrite "0x409" to "0x411"
- Translate "WireGuard: Fast, Modern, Secure VPN Tunnel" into Japanese

I googled and found that "0x411" means "Japanese".
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/menurc/versioninfo-resource

Is this correct?

Regards,

Japanese doesn't have plural, right? If you need to word some translation differently (based on a cardinal variable), you may extend "translation" string property into to a "select" object. See https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-windows/tree/locales/en/messages.gotext.json?h=sr/l18n or https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-windows/tree/locales/fr/messages.gotext.json?h=sr/l18n for plural examples (search for "plural"). (Yes, we are using English-to-English translation to translate "{Seconds} second(s)" into nicer to read "1 second", "2 seconds"...)
