Implementing UI translation in SumatraPDF, a C++ Windows application

How I implemented a system for translating strings to many languages in SumatraPDF, a C++ Windows application

The whole of last week was dedicated to the revision of a scientific article on improving kids' critical thinking in their social media use. #SciComm

Then I helped translate the user interface of a weather app into Italian. #UItranslation

This week, I'm back to the translation of novels. Hoping to bring 8 Italian novels to a wider international audience. #literature

UI translation is hard, but I'm pretty sure we can all agree that you should never have two identical buttons in the same dialogue box that do two different things.

Do you want to cancel your changes? Or do you want to cancel closing the window? Cancel or cancel?

Remember, UI translation isn't just about words – it's a dance of words within confined spaces. Embrace the challenge, and let your translations shine seamlessly across borders.
