Scope of Translation

The plan to translate PCDairy program in Spanish has two phases: In Phase One, we only translate the help files, nutrient names, feed names, license file, manual, readme, and order form. In Phase Two, we translate all dialog boxes. The released Spanish version is in Phase One and everyone who buy this version will get a free update to Phase Two, when it will become available.

Phase One Files

Help Files

There are 16 help files with the hlp extension. These are simple text files which can be edited by the Notepad program. If you use the Microsoft Word, you must save them in the plain text format. They can not have any formatting features such as bold or underline etc. The length of each line in the help file must be 74 characters or less. Use Courier New font of size 10.

Nutrient Names

The nutrient names are in the file NUTRIENT.HLP.  The maximum length of a nutrient is 20 characters. The maximum name of user defined nutrients NUT1, BUT2, etc is 12 characters

Feed Names

There are 102 feeds in the standard feed library. The maximum length of feed name is 20 characters. The easiest way to translate the name of feeds is to export them from the standard library to the alternate library and then edit its name.
