Help me find this menu "open file in browser"

I just did a quick experiment: if I picked Esperanto, I see that “View Current File in” submenu entry isn’t translated.

But if I look at Deutsch (german.xml), it does translate that submenu:

Looking at german.xml, I found that exact text:

                <!-- Sub Menu Entries -->
				<SubEntries>
...
					<Item subMenuId="view-currentFileIn" name="Aktuelle Datei betrachten in"/>
...
				</SubEntries>

Whereas the esperanto.xml does not have a line for subMenuId="view-currentFileIn". My guess is that you will need to add that line to your SubEntries section, and put in the appropriate translation.

When I change that line in english_customizeable.xml, and choose that language, the name does change. If I comment it out of the XML, it uses the default English value.

I haven’t been able to translate the Firefox/Chrome/Edge/IE strings… but I’m not sure if you were expecting those to change, or just trying to change the “View Current File in” text…

@PeterJones There is no need to make additional lines, they are there but they do not work in all languages))

@PeterJones We need to put these lines in the <Commands> block
This must be done for all languages!

I don’t know if the language barrier is hurting our communication again, but I disagree with that statement.

The view-currentFileIn line was missing from the esperanto.xml, which is why the submenu wasn’t translating. As soon as I added it, it did translate that entry. My assessment is that if the view-currentFileIn line exists in the XML file, then it will translate the sub-menu’s name; if it is not present, the sub-menu will use the default “View Current File in” English text.

And, as I said, “I haven’t been able to translate the Firefox/Chrome/Edge/IE strings”. Said another way, the text in the items 44100, 44101, 44103, and 44102 do not appear to influence the four entries in the browser submenu no matter what, for any language I tried. My assessment is that you cannot translate the names of the browsers. This doesn’t seem like a bad thing to me, since it’s just a list of application names.

Ah, I see now that the entries for 44100 and similar that I was editing were in the <ShortcutMapper>...<MainCommandNames>... section, not in the <Commands> section.
But again, I don’t think it’s important to translate the names of applications, and I am fine with the short names.

If you think that Don should add those entries into the translation files for every language, you are allowed to fill out a feature request. If it doesn’t work in all languages, you are allowed to fill out a bug report. But as you know, mentioning something like that once or 100 times in this Forum is not the official way to file a request or bug report.

@PeterJones This is English localization

I’ve done this once or twice myself.
VERY frustrating when what you’ve edited doesn’t go into effect.
Of course, our own fault.
But still… :-)

@PeterJones No extra lines needed!
You just need to put these lines in the right place!

No need to shout (exclamation points are usually considered shouting).

I respectfully disagree. See my reasons explained below:

Of the 93 localization files in a fresh unzip of v7.9.1, only 36 contain the view-currentFileIn line. So in the other 57, that line would have to be added.

You just need to put these lines in the right place!

I disagree. The entries in the <ShorcutMapper> section should stay in the shortcut mapper section. Do not move them; otherwise, it will not translate the lines I have shown here, from the Shortcut Mapper:

So, in 57 files, you have to add the view-currentFileIn line, which does not exist, otherwise the name of the submenu will stay in English.

In any localization XML file that does not have the 44100 and similar lines in the <Commands> section, you need to add them in that section. If you move them from <ShortcutMapper> to <Commands>, you will just change it so the menu does translate but the shortcut mapper does not. If you want both translated, you need both copies of the 44100 and similar blocks.

@PeterJones I don’t think we understand each other at all.

I agree.

However, I am just going to drop it, because we both apparently understand how to make it translate both the menu entry and the shortcut mapper entry, even if we don’t like or agree with the way the other of us has tried to explain it.
