Is it possible to provide the German translation of XML Mind XML Editor
automatically after or during the installation of the software?
I see two ways to achieve that.
--> First, most obvious, method: create you own installer for that.
Here's how it can be done:
1) Unpack a stock XMLmind XML Editor distribution, for example unzip
https://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_download/xxe-perso-10_9_0.zip
inside C:\temp\
This gives you :
C:\temp\xxe-perso-10_9_0\
2) Download
https://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_usercontrib/de_translation-240824083426310/de_translation.zip
(See "User-contributed Add-ons",
https://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_usercontrib/index.shtml)
Unzip it inside:
C:\temp\xxe-perso-10_9_0\addon\
This gives you:
C:\temp\xxe-perso-10_9_0\addon\de_translation\
3) Optionally you may want to also download
https://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_download/de_dictionary-10_9_0.zip
our German (Deutsch) dictionary, and also unzip it inside:
C:\temp\xxe-perso-10_9_0\addon\
4) Run
C:\temp\xxe-perso-10_9_0\bin\xxe
and check, either on a computer having a German locale or by forcing
this German locale using Options|Preferences, General section, Locale
combobox
(https://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/generalOptions.html),
that you have (a) a German UI (b) a German dictionary (The "Check
Spelling" dialog box,
https://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/checkSpellingDialog.html).
5) Create you own software distribution.
The simplest software distribution being a .zip file, suffice to zip the
C:\temp\xxe-perso-10_9_0\ folder as follows:
---
C:\> cd temp
C:>\temp\> zip -r xxe-perso-10_9_0.zip xxe-perso-10_9_0
---
(This idea is to have folder xxe-perso-10_9_0\ as the topmost entry of
the zip file.)
What's described above works fine
- with Professional Edition, which is basically identical to Personal
Edition,
- in the case you want to create a setup.exe for use on Windows. However
it's more complicated if you want to create a .dmg for use on the Mac.
--> Second method requires you to control the work environment of all
XMLmind XML Editor users.
1) Download
https://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_usercontrib/de_translation-240824083426310/de_translation.zip
(See "User-contributed Add-ons",
https://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_usercontrib/index.shtml)
Unzip it inside a *shared* *folder* which can be accessed by all XMLmind
XML Editor users, for example:
Z:\xxe_addon\de_translation\
2) Make sure that all XMLmind XML Editor users have the following
environment variable set:
set XXE_ADDON_PATH=Z:\xxe_addon;+
More information in
https://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/environment_variables.html
3) Instruct all XMLmind XML Editor users to disable the Quick Start
cache (uncheck the "Quick Start cache" checkbox; see
https://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/advancedOptions.html#quickStartCache).
This is done once for all and will survive XMLmind XML Editor upgrades.
