Thanks to all who answered. When I visit my friend in Germany in June, I'll
be able to try it out on his German XP-OS.
again many thanks for your help, Helmut
No but it's easy to make a german version. Mine now is part german (I grew
bored before I finished). But I used goodle to translate from english (so
the dialog says "Sie können die Größe neu bestimmte Kopien von einer oder
von mehr verursachen vorgewählte Abbildungen und sie im gegenwärtigen
folder.\n\nSelect speichern eine Größe" which I have no idea if it's
reasonable or not)
Install the english version. Run reghacker
(
http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/) and open
c:\windows\system32\phototoys.dll.
Expand the dialog, you'll get something which lists the text. Alter it to
german from english. You'll also need to do the string table. An ampersand
(&) before a letter makes it underlined when viewed as a dialog or menu. /n
is a new line.
EG (I've changed one line to german).
