@xomx Thank you very much for the work you have done, which will lead to improvements in Notepad++ in the future. I am very grateful to you.

@PeterJones said in Possible error or not?: 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). Some details in: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/14944 https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pull/14982

@PeterJones Ah…

Hi! I’ve updated the Hungarian language file to be compatible with the latest version (8.7.1) of Notepad++. This is a major, complete and up-to-date re-translation of this file, including: Translating the missing terms Adding missing accelerator letters (also for dialogs) Correcting the previous spelling errors (e.g. capitalization) Re-translating the inaccurate expressions more accurate Re-translating the outdated terms Pull request: #15824

@Asaad-AlSharif , 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.

@Jean-Colin , 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.

A new English version of Wingup is available and it is possible to update the translations https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/wingup/blob/master/src/translations/english.xml

I updated the pull request for Italian Translation Any test, Any comment (confirm or issue are welcome) https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pull/15190 The summary of edit are 912c5ee Make English language text with colon (‘:’) consistent 9f6e9c0 Update English translation for v8.6.8 (indentation setting) 07e9503 Add message box with information about disabled backward regex searching fix the wrong translation of change history (from “modifica cronologia” to “cronologia delle modifiche)” change increase/decrease line indent (“tabulazione” to “rientro”) improved “case (blend)” from “intelligente”(smart) to “ignora le altre” translated “next” always in “successivo” (1 hit for “seguente”) removed always the Italish word Zoom (Ingrandimento) and added text missing (ctrl+ mouse up/down) fixed text not translated tool Menu /generate (genera firma) and made it coherent removed exclamation marks from text updated “go to…” Dialog to the English version ok–>always “Conferma” fixed text not translated “(Ctrl+Mouse click/selection)” update translation Indent Made translation “Minimum Size for Auto-Checking In selection” shorter (it was truncated) translated “failed” always in “non andato a buon fine” (sometimes it was translated “fallito”) Removed “Are you sure” with a direct question (it is not usual in Italian) Improved messages with non-printable characters Make phrases more natural keyboard hotkeys in search/replace dialog keyboard HotKeys in Column Editor keyboard hotkeys in File menu keyboard hotkeys in Edit menu keyboard hotkeys in Search menu

@scootergrisen , 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.

@PeterJones This was the answer I was waiting for. Thank you very much

I have the opposite problem on Win10, the context menu is now using the OS language (non-English) despite the setup being run in English. Notepad++ interface is in English, but not the context menu, and also it jumped from mid-menu to almost the top of the menu, which is a bit of a bummer after years of being used to commit that to muscle memory 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.

@PeterJones This ComparePlus option is perfect. 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.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Suggestion for improvement, LICENSE: 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

@Alan-Kilborn Woah, finally. Thanks!

@Claudio-Reniè-0 I have just updated the file italian.xml to 8.4.6. I don’t check so often the community blog. @Ices_Eyes is the official Italian Translator, and I’m the official Venetian Translator. Sometimes I contribute to Italian as well because, in order to translate to Venetian, it is easy to compare the translation with another Latin one. Both Ices_Eyes and I translate twice per year. I think that in the future, you can create a Pull-request directly with your Italian proposal or add comments to an existing one.

@vitococl said in How to find the context of a string?: 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.
