The file has been checked into CVS.

To answer your question:

"#

# Earth can this message be displayed anyway???
#
:TEXT_ERROR_LOADING_STRINGS"

Some strings are hardcoded into FreeCOM. which are only available, when 
you actually build a german FreeCOM. Latter requirement will change, 
when the error string retrieval interrupt gets implemented.

Re: FreeCOM German translation fix


Hi, the localization of the precompiled FreeCOM is basically simple:

get default.lng and turkish.lng
run fixstr turkish
copy /b xmsswap.cln + strings.dat command.com
upx --8086 command.com

And you have a turkish FreeCOM, XMS-Swap version.

Still people can easily miss the fact that translated FreeCOMs
are possible at all. They are not linked well from the SF.net page.

PS: There is no turkish.lng text file yet, so the above is just an example.
Fixstr, *.lng and *.cln are all part of the FreeCOM localization download.

Should be. But it took me more than one day to build the portuguese 
version. Why? because it was incomplete, I had to add many strings, 
change many others, etc.

I am a programer, so it was not so difficult, but a normal user could 
not do it.

If someone makes a binary, at least it will be tested and useable.
