Please be good to Traditional Chinese users

[Nelson Tai]

Dear PDF Viewer develop team,

I'm Nelson, the Traditional Chinese language translator.
First of all, I'd like to say "Good Job!" to you all, you really do!
But recently there are two things that disappoint me.

1.
The Traditional Chinese language file (PDFXVW_Cht.xml) in the installation pack is too old.
I love PDF Viewer and I always update the language file as soon as possible, and send it back to you.
But the language file in the installation pack is always out of date, much out of date.

2.
PDF Viewer automatically applies a language according to the locale settings from Windows.
This is a good idea.
But don't know since when, PDF Viewer applies Simplified Chinese as default language.
That is wrong! Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese are different.

As an user and a translator, I love PDF Viewer a lot.
So I have reported these two issues long time ago. (Yes, these two issues both exist for a long time)
But I can't see any improvement for these issues.

Please, be good to Traditional Chinese users.
I appreciate that.

Latest PDFXVW_Cht.xml I have dated by 18.02.2009, and it will be included into build 41.2
Between builds 41.2 and 42.0 LiveUpdate will be changed to handle updation language files and help files.

The viewer applies wrong language during each restart or only when you are installing new build ?

Good news.

Only after installing new build.

When you run new installation, which language do you select on "Select Setup Language" dialog ?

Traditional Chinese, which is selected by the installer automatically.

Problem with setting Simplified instead of Traditional fixed.

Just on a side note, this is something we kind of ran into as well. For our office in Shanghai, the default language on the OS is English, however they use the Microsoft Language Bar set to Simplified Chinese, etc.

When launching PDF-XChange Viewer, the language would be set to Simplified Chinese, even if we specified English in the install.

We got around it by adding this line to our login script (VBS):

Code: Select all

wshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Tracker Software\PDFViewer\International\LocaleID", 1033 ,"REG_DWORD"

Just wanted to post that out there for anyone who may find it useful.

Thanks,

Dan

also, please note, setting LocaleID to -1 (FFFFFFFF in hex) will allow viewer to set language corresponging to your regional settings (for sure, if such language is supported).

Big thanks
I'm looking forward to the new build~
