Hello
I've spend some time putting the required code in to quickly allow torque to be translated into other languages (French, German, Russian, etc)
There are instructions on the wiki page located at: http://torque-bhp.com/wiki/Translation together with the most recent downloadable file that can be translated
This should help with translating the app if you want to lend a hand. Try a couple of small obvious ones first to make sure it works, and if you are enthusiastic enough to complete a translation, then I can include it in the app so it will be automatically included in future updates
Hope this is useful
Ian
Sweet. I shall get that added! Thanks!
EDIT: Looking good so far. Found a few bits I've missed, but everything's looking cool!

You can send me the new file with the forgotten values and i'll translate it 🙂
Will do, though the next release will populate a -missing.txt file when it comes accross values I've missed (or haven't been translated yet)
I translated Torque into german. A few points are still missing but the most is done.
Here's the file: http://trashmall.de/language_DE.txt
An opportunity to choose the file manually would be great. That way I could preview it.
Added, thanks, though the characters looked a little wrong on the accents - I may look at that
Anything that you notice wasn't translated in any of the language files will be dropped into a language_-missing.txt file inside the .torque folder on the SD card as they are found by the app I'll add them as you post them on here or (preferably) email the file as an attachement to ian@prowl.org so nothing gets lost
I mailed you a new version with more translations and hoepfully fixed accents (although I don't know why the UTF-8 file before doesn't work).
When/how does Torque load the language files?
I deleted the old language file (and the missing.txt, which btw. seems to contain every translation), moved the new one into the folder, restartet the phone but nothing changed.
Hi thanks, got the new translations, they'll be in the next version released The UTF-8 version got mangled,.. I think. didn't display in the editors I used here correctly. Hopefully the native character set one will be better.
The missing.txt is an output-only file - the language translation is read internally on the current version only.
I understand you'll want to test - I'll try to sort that out in the next update and allow you to override the internal translation file with one in .torque folder again. Will post details when it's done!
Ian I send you by mail the spanish translation for the Torque app. If someone want to test, here is the link too.
Got it, it's in 1.4.62
In 1.4.62 you can now create a file 'language_es_override.txt' and torque will override (and merge) its' internal translation file with the one you have on the SD card - this should help you test things
If there's any missing translations, then they should be dropped into a 'language_es_missing.txt' file on the SD card in the same location
Regards,
ian
Cool 🙂 I'll try it soon 😀
Hello.
I do a Russian translation - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9S997ZEE .but I can not bridge the adapter with my Subaru Legacy '03. Can't string any of ECU. Once managed to probe showed only the voltage. Adapter for $ 26. What could be wrong?
Hi
That's usually a fault with the subaru ECU - both the nissan altima and some subaru ECUs from early 2000 suffer a problem with not being 100% OBD2 compatible
However there is a workaround in torque that tries to address this issue. If you're not getting anywhere could you:
* Let torque try to connect for a minute or two (the ignition needs to be on but the engine doesnt need to be running)
* After it's tried to connect, go to the 'Realtime Information' activity, and press Menu->More->Send comms debug logs
* Type in your forum name &subaru legacy into the description field so I know who you are and press send/ok and I'll get the debugs and have a look for you to see what's up
Thankyou very much for contributing a Russian translation! It's in torque now and it'll be available in the next version update on the market! Here's a screenshot:

Ian
The screenshot shows what is wrong encoding. I used the ANSI. how to properly use? The fact that I can not test the translation. I put the file in the folder .torque run the program, but it is still in English.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N59XJTOM - translate Unicode
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QUCB3P5V - translate UTF8
UTF8 is good, I'll grab that one tonight and put it into the package
EDIT: Updated the image above with the correct translation, thanks!!
ian
I like to use Torque in my car
Whenever turn on the Torque.
I hope to have korean version.
So i jsut trabslate your ducoment to Korean.

Hi!
Could you email the file to ian@prowl.org - the forum loses some of the character encodings for your language if you post it straight in there
Then I'll add it to the app for the next update
Thanks!
Ian
Updated the 'root/default' translation in the first post on this thread - now covers practically the whole app for translation
hi!
was going try translation on the paid version..but can't get it to work? is the feature supported on recent Torque paid?
