How do I add Chinese to KM 1.5.3? Right now I see in Edit Preferences\GUI Appearance

English
German
Spanish
French
Others


Any help much appreciated.

You must have install the 7z of the language you want to add.

It doesn't yet exist for K-Meleon 1.5.*.

If you take example about a locale package for 1.5.3, you'll see that there is few folders which are concerned:

chrome, locales, defaults

In chrome
---------
you must create the zh-CN.jar file. Search for a locale of Seamonkey (same version of geecko, obviously), and recreate the same paths before zipping it to create the jar file. Edit a manifest file, and save it as zh-CN.manifest

In defaults, it's essentially i10n.js, and if needed search.xml
------------

in locales, 2 kinds of files:
-----------------------------
exe and dll : replace strings with chines translkations in the strings and boxes
kml files, translate files (warning to the encoding : utf-8)

You can use 1.1.x files to help you to translate a great part of strings, but as 1.1.x kml files are ANSI encoded, warning when saving ...

If you need more infos ...

Good luck

Do you see others in language list of Preference panel ?

If yes, It's not normal, and I don't know how it's possible. It's probably due to a bugged version of KMES, which has created the folder locales\other ... delete it.

You can use 1.1.x locale but not all will work.

Prefs panel and some things are not identical = 1.5 has more & better items.

In theory non existing items should fall back to an existing version without breaking completely (probably de-DE because that is early in alphabet).
So not all will be Chinese.

Adding. Technically done like alain explained.

After You added it - Chinese appears as option after browser restart.

Thanks. I'll try and get it up and running on my wife's machine. Failing that Chinese font TFT (characters) for chinese sites will help.
