Manifold Release 9 in German language

Localization

Manifold Speaks Your Language

Enjoy Manifold in Your Language

Manifold® Release 9 and Manifold Viewer interfaces use English language by default but will automatically switch to a different language if you choose a localization file.

Only $145, fully paid. The world's easiest to localize GIS is only $145. Amazing! That's the fully paid price for Manifold System Release 9. The fastest and most powerful GIS ever created now also has the world's lowest cost of ownership.

New! A generous number of Manifold System Release 9 licenses may be donated at no charge to academic institutions which sponsor the creation of localization files for their national language or for a new language. This is a limited, experimental program. Please contact sales@manifold.net to participate.

How to Use Your Langauge

A localization file is just a small file like ui.fr.txt (for French) that contains translations for all text in the interface. Take the localization file for the language you want and put it into the same installation folder as the manifold.exe executable you will be using. Easy!

  1. Download the ui.zip file. Unzip it to get files for different languages.
  2. Copy the localization file for your language, for example, ui.fr.txt for French.
  3. Paste it into the same folder as the manifold.exe you will use, for example, within the bin64 and bin installation folders.
  4. If Windows is set to that language, for example, to French, Manifold will automatically launch using that ui.fr.txt file.
  5. If Windows is set to English, but you want Manifold in French, launch Manifold once in English and then in the Tools - Options dialog choose fr in the Localization box. The next time you launch Manifold it will use French.

The instructions above work for both Manifold and for Viewer. The same localization files work for either Manifold or Viewer.

The ui.zip file provides a collection of localization files created by Manifold users. It includes files for Arabic, Bengali, Chinese (simplified, Mandarin), Dutch, Estonian, Filipino (Tagalog), French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Malay, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish languages. The Italian, Malay, and Polish localization files are experimental examples of automatic translations done by Google.

"Compliments to the Manifold team for building such a robust piece of software. I have been translating error messages that I have never seen and probably never will see!" - Forum post

Translate Manifold into a New Language

Any user can take the standard, English default.ui.txt file and provide their own translation for whatever language they want. The current default.ui.txt file is included within the ui.zip file collection of localization files (click the link to download). The latest, up-to-date canonical English default.ui.txt file also is published in portable Manifold installation packages.

When a German localization file is placed in the Manifold installation folder, on launch Manifold will look at the Windows language setting and if Windows has been set to German, Manifold will automatically load the German localization file. Manifold can also use a different language while Windows stays in English. Both Manifold and Viewer include a built-in Edit Localization File dialog that makes translations easier.

See details in the Localization topic in the User Manual. Authors creating localization files for their own languages will often discuss the process and assist each other on the User Forum.
