@ gyROS,i have reshacked your application to create a version with English menus,i hope you don't mind.

because i used babel fish to translate the menus i have called it "the babel fish edition"

*i have revised some of my translations,i think this is a more correct translation, to download it go to http://osbetaworld.bb2.org/index.php?showtopic=500

You could just reference to an english MS paint. Me or many other members could just screenshot the menus and such.

EDIT: whoops, I forgot I set my Windows GUI language to Japanese to practice my reading skills. I'd have to use my dad's PC then for proper english MS Paint menus, so it just might be easier for someone else to do it.

i have ms paint but i wanted to follow gyROS,s idea,s/design.

@betaluva:

Whoops! Bad luck! Also yesterday I've created a fully localizable version already including german and british english myself while I was restructuring the resource scripts.
Well, don't mind... Just a bit of unnecessary work.

Within the next minutes I'll upload the new exe (which is from now on called Paint.exe!) to:

The save option isn't localised [ external image ]

[gyROS]

Mmmh... Obviously you're right! I've only translated the resource scripts and forgot the MessageBox. I hope you can live without it for now.

@betaluva:

I read your previous posts again and found the screenshot. I didn't realize that the program looks that ugly in XP!
I've now fixed the problem with the background brush (it should look fine now) and turned on the "support XP styles" option. At least in Vista it looks nice now, I just do not get the flat buttons that the original Vista Paint uses. (exe updated)

I just do not get the flat buttons that the original Vista Paint uses.

use TBSTYLE_FLAT or TBSTYLE_TRANSPARENT

Oh, you said this is using British English for the english translation. That's fine and all, but what does ROS use, American or British English? (or does ROS have both?)

American English is the "default" language of ReactOS, if I recall correctly.

[gyROS]

US english might be the language that is initially selected in the setup, but you can use american english, british english and e.g. australian english as well as you can use for example german german, austrian german and swiss german. In the user interface there isn't any "default" language, although US-english might be the best supported one.

(and once my prog is open source you can create an en-us.rc file yourself and delete some of the colour "u"s)

@Ged:
Thanks, but the program does not use a toolbar anyway (at least not yet). If I change it in the future, I'll remember it.

[Ged]

ahh, then you'll have trouble creating flat buttons then, you'd have to draw them yourself.
It's better to use a toolbar window if possible

*cue discussion about what really is 'American' English and 'British' English*

[betaluva]

dont forget about orstalian english ,struth the crows !, me dingo is a flamin mongrel but me dunny is fair dinkum.
