Language Definition


     GoldED  allows  you  to  almost  completely  redefine  the language
     dependent text in the program.

     The language dependent text in GoldED is defined in the plain ASCII
     text GOLDLANG.CFG file.

     See the example language file  for the actual method and  format of
     language redefinition.

     If you  are planning  to translate  the text  in GoldED, you should
     also look into the definition of the help screens.

     If you  think you  have made  a good  set of  translated files, you
     should  contact  the  nearest  registration  or  support  site  for
     official distribution  of your  files with  future versions  and/or
     with disk registrations.

     You do  not need  permission from  the author  before announcing or
     distributing your own modified language files.


                         Date/Time Substitution Codes

     A  few  of  the  language  texts  can  contain  special   date/time
     substitution  codes.  The  keywords  for those are: MS_DateTimeFmt,
     MS_DateFmt, MS_TimeFmt and ST_StatuslineTimeFmt.

     Here are the valid substitution codes:

          %a  Abbreviated weekday name (Mon, Tue, Wed, ...).
          %A  Full weekday name (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, ...).
          %b  Abbreviated month name (Jan, Feb, Mar, ...).
          %B  Full month name (January, February, March, ...).
          %e  Day of month, with leading space for single digits (1-31).
          %d  Day of month (01-31).
          %H  Hour (00-23) (24-hour clock).
          %I  Hour (01-12) (12-hour clock).
          %j  Day of the year (001-366).
          %m  Month (01-12).
          %M  Minute (00-59).
          %p  AM or PM according to 12-hour clock.
          %S  Second (00-59).
          %U  Week number (00-52) where sunday is first day of the week.
          %w  Weekday (0-6) where 0 is sunday.
          %W  Week number (01-53) where monday is first day of the week.
          %y  Year without century (00-99).
          %Y  Year with century.
          %%  Character '%'.

     The %a,  %A, %b  and %B  codes substitute  to the  current language
     setup loaded using the LOADLANGUAGE keyword.


       *** NOTE ***

     In  the  continuing  development  of  GoldED,  it  is impossible to
     completely maintain backward  compatibility of the  language format
     or the  text defined  there. New  features may  add and/or obsolete
     some definitions, or may change the format of others.

     The  existing  language  file  may  contain  definitions  which are
     already obsolete, but  which I haven't  had time to  search for and
     remove, as well as there may be some texts in GoldED which are  not
     yet  definable.  All  this  will  of  course be corrected in future
     versions. If you find inconsistencies, please report them,  because
     I may have overlooked them.
