So how does it work in your opinion?

It works like I have written in "the other thread":

Code: Select all

LanguageIni=WCMD_XYZ.LNG
with XYZ being the trigger.

If you change that setting to

Code: Select all

WCMD_whateveryouwant.LNG
and restart TC, plugin will be English.

Edit:

Code: Select all

LanguageIni=WCMD_blabla_XYZ.LNG
works too.

Code: Select all

LanguageIni=blabla_XYZ.LNG
works too.

So, petermad is right. Why has ghisler not mentioned that in the thread? All that stupid testing for nothing.

but if you change it to WCMD_whateveryouwant_XYZ.LNG then the language will be XYZ - as it will if you change it to WCMD_XYZwhateveryouwant.LNG :!:

Wow, I just wanted to answer the original question and didn't expect all this discussion. I have never had a problem, maybe because I don't modify TC a lot. For the record, I simply make a copy of WCMD_ENG.MNU and I call it WCMD_ENG_RMO.MNU , I then go to Configuration->Options->Language and set the "Main menu file" to the file I just made.

This has never caused any issue that I am aware of and I do not mess with the .lng file at all. What reason is there to mess with the .lng file? All I want to do is add my extra menu functions.

Is there a better way?

The discussion was not caused by you actually but is a result of misunderstandings in another thread, don't worry.

This has been answered by Sheepdog:

So, try renaming the menu file to WCMD_RMO_ENG.MNU and the language file to WCMD_RMO_ENG.LNG. If you then open the language dialog and choose the language file, the menu file is autoselected. This is very comfortable for people using more than one menu file and therefore wanting to regularly switch it. You save some keypresses, that's all.

For english users it doesn't matter if the _ENG string is placed at the end or if there is an _ENG string at all, this is only important for people wanting to make use of the autotranslation of content plugins to their language.

If there is a better way depends on your needs.
The WCMD_ENG.MNU is very basic so you could upgrade to a 3rd party menu file like that from pdavit or petermad, you can find them here:

http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/TcMenu32_en_653.html

Regarding your copytoclipboard entry, these are already included. Personally I don't use the menu for copying to clipboard but decent hotkeys like Shift+C and Ctrl-Shift-C. No questions how to create them please, this thread has gone offtopic enough I think. ;)
