Languages and themes specifications

All GrindEQ modules support multilanguage interface. The interface structures are open, so you can modify the text of almost all interface elements: labels, buttons and messages. Everyone is welcome to supply their own languages and create new skins. Please contact feedback@grindeq.com for collaboration details.

Language

To install a new language create a new folder with an arbitrary name on the '<installpath>/<module>/language' path. Here <installpath> is the GrindEQ installation path; <module> is the name of the module ('word2latex', 'latex2word', 'mathtype2equation', or 'main' for General Options). Then create a file 'language.txt' of the specific structure described bellow in the newly created folder. In the 'main' folder you can also create a help file 'GrindEQ.chm', which will be shown instead of the default international help.

The encoding of 'language.txt' can be Unicode or ANSI. Each portion of data (label, message, etc.) is a single CRLF-terminated string. Each string consists of 5 system characters followed by data:

D241:This is visible text

Here D241: are system characters representing an element #241; D means this element belongs to General Options (W for Word-to-LaTeX Options, L for LaTeX-to-Word Options, and M for MathType-to-Equation Options). You cannot change system characters, but you should define the rest of the line. Empty strings will be ignored, absent strings will be replaced with the default international strings (except #001).

If a string has a parameter (file name, counter's value, etc.), its place in the string is defined by the '#' symbol. This means, the '#' symbol in the string will be replaced by the parameter's value. The following escape sequences are supported: \n (new line), \r (carriage return), \t (horizontal tab), and \\ (backslash).

Note, some sentences are duplicated. The number of the first entrance of such elements will be placed in brackets: [D100].

Theme

All GrindEQ modules support skinnable interface. To install a new theme create a new folder with an arbitrary name on the '<installpath>/<module>/skin' path. Here <installpath> is the GrindEQ installation path; <module> is the name of the module ('word2latex', 'latex2word', 'mathtype2equation', or 'main' for General Options). Then create next files: 'skin.txt', 'main.bmp', 'tab.bmp', 'button.bmp' of the specific structure described bellow in the newly created folder.

The structure of 'skin.txt' is the same as of 'language.txt' (described above):

D001: theme name displayed in 'Theme' list;
D002: format version (2023);
D010: color of text label;
D011: color of title label;
D020: color of button label;
D021: color of selected button label;
D022: color of pressed button label;
D025: horizontal offset of selected button label;
D026: vertical offset of selected button label;
D027: horizontal offset of pressed button label;

D056: vertical offset of selected list label;
D057: horizontal offset of pressed list label;
D058: vertical offset of pressed list label;

RGB colors are represented in BBGGRR hexadecimal format, offsets are given in pixels.
