Ini file Localization

Localizing your INI files with Sisulizer is easy and save.

• You define the sections and keys to localize
  Advantage: No sections or keys disappear, or are duplicated or renamed during translation process.
• Translator cannot break INI-file format
  Only the strings you need localized can be translated. Sections, keys, and equal signs cannot be edited.
• Ini-like files can be localized, too
  Besides true Windows .ini-files which can be edited with the IniRead and write API calls Sisulizer works with initialization files that are structured similar to ini files.

Screen Shot: Ini Localization

Ini files don't need to have the .ini as file extension to be localizable with Sisulizer. The project tree shows the sections of an ini file, the Wysiwyg pane shows the keys to be localized. Sisulizer protects translator for breaking your ini file format; neither the section names nor the keys are editable, just the strings can be translated.

• Duplicate strings are translated once
  Within a project translations of identical original strings are automatically reused. Even if the other strings are in other file types, e.g. your application or online help if they are in the same project.
• Remember translations project-independent
  Sisulizer supports translation memory*. Please cross-check our feature comparision to pick a Sisulizer edition with translation memory support.

Screen Shot: Localizable Ini sections

You define which sections of your Ini files are localizable. Only the selected ones a translator can enter a translation. This ensures that your budget does not run out. By using Sisulizer you are sure that no keys or sections disappear or duplicate during translation process. Besides classical Windows .ini files Sisulizer also supports localization of ini-like files. For easier configuration you can save your set of definitions for later re-use e.g. in other Sisulizer projects by exporting them.

Translation Memory helps you to avoid double translations even between different software projects.
