12.13 Language
The language file (extension .xcl) is a plain text file designed
to provide translations between English and other languages, for
messages and text displayed by XCSoar.
The format is quite simple, it is a list of text lines that XCSoar
uses, followed by an equals sign and the translation, thus:
[English text]=[Translated text]
An example is provided below:
Hello=Hallo
Several language files are available from the XCSoar website.
12.14 Status
Status files are text of the form label=value, arranged in blocks of
text where each block corresponds to an individual status message.
These are delimited by double spaces. Each block can contain the
following fields:
key : This is the text of the status message.
sound : Location of a WAV audio file to play when the status mes-
sage appears. This is optional.
delay : Duration in milliseconds the status message is to be dis-
played. This is optional.
hide : A boolean (yes/no) that dictates whether the message is to
be hidden (that is, not displayed).
Example:
key=Simulation\r\nNothing is real!
sound=\My Documents\XCSoarData\Start_Real.wav
delay=1500
key=Task started
delay=1500
hide=yes
