Dirhtml Help - Language XML Files

Dirhtml can customize essentially all user interface text elements by parsing a special xml file.  Anyone can translate dirhtml to a new language by editing this file.  The xml file can be in UTF-8 or UTF-16 format and must include a byte order marker.

In theory, the file format is self explanatory.  For each interface item, there is the text used for the control.  For most items, there is also associated help text which is displayed as a tooltip popup when the mouse hovers over the control.

Note: &amp; in <text> sections indicate the control's hot key.

Two language files are distributed with the program, dirhtml_english.xml (a clone of the default interface), and dirhtml_french.zip (a french translation).  Additional translations are encouraged.
