The french has not been translated at all.

The only two languages that have been translated are German and English. The other 4 are there because you needed to be able to select them in order to tell the navigation software what language to use.

So I went ahead and added, copies of the English XML files, in all the languages...

I could really use a French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese of all the XML files.

If someone makes them, please email them to support@fluxmedia.net

Do you mean the PhoCo Wizard?
Actually, this has been done by a French guy (well, at least he told me he was

) but it's hard for me to rate translations since I don't speak the language.

I would be glad if you could do that.
The language files are contained in the Localization directory under PhoneControl.NET. You can use eihter the Extended Configurator to edit the files or any XML editor (Notepad will do also).

I can offer you a free PhoCo license key for the job in case you'd like to run it standalone some day.

OK.

Just got some problems for the translation...

French words are a bit longer than english, to faor some words, I was obliged to abbreviate:

save :sauvegarder (in french)--> sauv.

All words would be understandable for allfrenchies...

Ouais ......bon boulot mon gars....

David is it possible to have autoresizable font for button or other ?
As Coucouillu said french words are sometime very long.. it could be understood by abreviation but when you drive it's more easy when word is complete .....if it's not possible, we need to learn SMS language.
