How can I translate PDFCreator into my language?

Translating PDFCreator is quite easy. Each language of PDFCreator is stored in an INI file, which contains a name for each string and the translated value.

Beispiel:
...
Document=D&okument
DocumentAdd=Hinzufügen

...

 (Remark: The Ampersand (&) Defines the following character as Keyboard shortcut for Menu items.)

To make translating even easier, there is a tool called TransTool installed with PDFCreator, which allows you to see all english strings and to translate them into your language.
You also have an overview which strings are missing, which is quite useful when you are updating your translation for the latest version.
The string 'Author' is used to give you the credit for the translation, so you should place your name there.

To make a translation publically available for everyone, just send us a quick mail that you have a translation, then we will give you access to the upload system.

The language files need to be updated once in a while, when there are new features in PDFCreator. We will send notices on that as soon as possible prior to a release to enable as much translations as possible to be integrated in the setup.

In some cases there might be a little more to do. If the Setup has no translation file for your language, then you could also translate the setup if you want to. Check if your language is available.
