Description  : Russian localization for ZModeler 2.0.8 (build 897 and higher)
Release/Date : 22.Aug.06
Author       : Oleg M.


Installation notes.

    First of all, backup your ZModeler2_profile.xml file! Using localizations will
erase most of your zmodeler configuration data, including layout, hotkeys, colors
custumization and so on. Thus, if you wish to revert to default UI language later,
you should have a backup copy of ZModeler2_profile.xml

    Second, this localization is supplied with an installation script that will set
up default layout and hotkeys. You can change most of settings later;


1.  Copy "Language" and "Install" folders into your ZModeler folder; Any or both
these folders might be already available, so a message might appear about this;
just overwrite files in such a case

2   Start ZModeler.
3   Russian localization should be already available. If is not, pick in main menu
    "Options\Settings" on a "General" tab the following settings: Language: -> 
    "Russian" and restart ZModeler.



Limitations.

This localization does not include localization of the following features:

1. Undo items;
2. Message and error prompts;
3. Context prompt for some toolbar items.

These limitations might be removed later, but it's a subject to consider yet.



Making your own localizations.

   ZModeler from version 2.0.8 and up supports user localization via .xml files.
You can have several localizations, but only one can be active at a time, and this
localization controls most of the settings.

   If you wish to make your own localization, you can use "Russian" localization as
a start point. Be sure to set proper encoding in first line:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1251" ?>

"windows-1251" is a standard cyrilic encoding for russian localization; If you need
to use another charset, be sure to write proper value there. Localization supports
UTF-8, UTF-16 and Windows-**** charsets only.

   Most of items are self-explaining, so just write your translations in a 
trans="..." and be sure to restart zmodeler each time you need changes to take
effect.

   Finally, you will need to grab parts of your ZModeler2_profile.xml into an
installation script. Take a look at installation script for russian localization:
it includes instructions to clear certain branches of profile and supplies localized
settings for dialogs, layout, hotkeys and so on. Be accurate while cutting pieces
out of your profile, or, preferable, copy whole profile and delete most of unused
(non-localized) stuff.
