Change caption on START menu

[tcpp]

Hello,
Is there any way to change the "Start" caption on Start menu besides modifying LNG files?

[Stefan2]

You mean

the "Start" string in the main menu bar? Why should there be another way?


Or the captions inside of the Start menu for the individual entries?
Change Start menu > Change Title

Why do you need to change every LNG file - how many languages are you using?

You can make your own language file with your modification and call if for example wcmd_tcpp_eng.lng if your language is English. Then your language file will not be overwritten when TC is updated. You can make a corresponding wcmd_tcpp_eng.mnu file (and wcmd_tcpp_eng.inc and wcmd_tcpp_eng.ini files) that will load when you choose your wcmd_tcpp_eng.lng file in TC's language configuration.

The file name has to follow this pattern: wcmd_XXX_YYY.lng where XXX is free and YYY is the abbreviation of your language - if you follow this, then TC will know the basic language and can then also use that for plugins.

In my Extended Menus http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=33740 you can see this used to it's full extend.

Hello,
Thank you. Is it possible to use custom language file (WCMD_TCPP_POL.LNG) only with modifications instead of full language file with modifications? For example:

Code: Select all

Polski
codepage=1250
129="Custom string"

If not, is there any other simple way to change only 1 string?

Unfortunately that is only possible for English - all strings that are missing in WCMD_TCPP_POL.LNG will be shown in English.

It's a pity. So there is no other way to change this.

Why dont you just copy your wcmd_pol.lng to wcmd_tcpp_pol.lng and then make the changes to wcmd_tcpp_pol.lng you need.

Of course you have to check for, and add, new strings when a new version of TC comes up - but that is easily done with TC's Compare by Content.
