the old 4096 Mb limit was actually causing a crash, so it had to be lowered to a limit that was 2046 Mb.

It’s true, and the 2046 is the current right ‘Define Large File Size’ threshold max value for the N++ Scintilla syntax highlighting.

Note:
Now we could easily shift that back (but I don’t think it’s a good idea, as the enabled syntax highlighting and the assoc. stuff substantially slow down handling and double the memory consumption needed for such large files…) to the previous larger 4096 threshold, since in the meantime I finally persuaded Don and now the SC_DOCUMENTOPTION_TEXT_LARGE Scintilla docs flag is used as default everywhere (this effectively removes the previous crash possibility for a small increase in the consumed memory price).

Ubuntu is not an officially-supported OS for Notepad++. Many people get it to work on Ubuntu (through WINE or equivalent), but neither the Developers nor the regular users here in the Community make any warranty or guarantee.

In theory, getting the translation should be the same on Ubuntu+WINE as it is on Windows: when you run the installer, you should be able to get the language. If you didn’t choose that language on install, I believe you can re-run the installer to ask for that language. Or, if that’s too annoying for you, download a portable edition, and unzip the translation(s) you need from the localization\ directory in the zipfile, and put it into Ubuntu-equivalent of C:\program files\Notepad++\localization . After restarting Notepad++ (so it can re-read its config files), then Settings > Preferences > General > Localization should show the additional language(s) that you put in that directory.

My guess is that Don won’t bother with that in the GitHub area (though you would have to ask him, not us, because we’re not Don and Don doesn’t read most of what happens in the Forum). I am pretty sure he created this “Translation” section of the Forum so that such interactions would occur here, in the “Translation” section of the Forum, rather than having a “perpetual issue” open in GitHub for discussing translation changes.

Probably the best you could do would be to create a topic here called “Collaboration for Danish translation”, and then add a link to that page as an XML comment (like <!-- please discuss any changes at https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/##### before submitting a PR to change this translation -->). It wouldn’t be enforceable, but there would at least be a notice.

addendum: also, since there is currently an open PR for the Danish translation, I would suggest commenting on that PR that you’d like to talk about the changes together.

And requiring that you get the buy in of a previous translator is likely to never be enforced, either – when someone doesn’t submit a translation for a year or more, despite multiple releases of Notepad++ in the intervening time, all of which change the GUI in ways that there are more strings to be translated, it can easily be concluded that someone has abandoned their translation efforts.

I’m not sure the value in pursuing this, i.e., anyone expending any effort on it.
Can’t one simply click on the “LICENSE” link you provided in the first post in this thread, to open the license in a browser, and then, if unhappy with English, right-click and choose “Translate to ______”? I did this with Chrome, but presume other browsers also off this type of option.
Or…do a similar thing if one has the license.txt file as distributed with Notepad++, i.e., drag and drop the file into the browser and proceed as before.

Great idea

I appreciate any help. Too bad I can’t take advantage of it properly. It requires knowledge that I don’t have.

You modify code and for me it’s like reading Chinese or Japanese.

Thanks for everything and for being understanding with me.

Esa opción de ComparePlus es perfecta.

Agradezco toda ayuda. Lástima que no pueda aprovecharla como es debido. Se necesitan conocimientos que yo no tengo.

Modificáis código y para mí es como leer chino o japonés.

Gracias por todo y por ser comprensibles conmigo.

I was able to edit the text inside the context menu DLL and that worked for the translation alone, but what’s the point… if it is intentional, it’s weird. If I select a different language for the setup it should use that across the board.

This may be related to the new implementation that fixes (or breaks) under Win11, and so I’ll count my blessings for now since it could be much worse apparently.

If there is some sort of communication between the author and the localizer volunteers.

This was just a guess on my part, coming from watching what gets submitted when. I don’t know any details.

I also don’t know if there is a localization volunteer for the language you are interested in.

I’m not 100% sure, but I’m assuming Npp does a simple integer comparison. A simple test seems to confirm this.

Note, the 0d0a denotes the end of line characters.

And to ask for a feature request, you have a better chance that this gets implemented if you open it herehere.

Thank you very much

See our FAQ: Feature Request or Bug Report, which plainly spells out that this forum is just the Community of users of Notepad++. If you have a bug report, you need to make it at GitHub.

Out of curiosity, did you translate the CHM that came with ancient versions of Notepad++? Or did you translate the new npp-user-manual.org website into Spanish, then compile it into a CHM file?

I ask, because I cannot remember the last time CHM was included. And I don’t think a CHM or HTML manual has been distributed with Notepad++ since before v7.0 in 2016 (the most recent version I have with an HTML manual was v6.6.6). If you’re translating that, it’s extremely out of date.

If, however, you’ve translated the npp-user-manual.org website and compiled it into CHM, I would be interesting to know that’s what you’ve done.
