The Broken X Language Editor application was designed to be a free tool that will translate Language Files used by Broken X Disk Manager.

Errors in the Language File can cause Broken X Disk Manager to not function correctly or even to crash. If you are a software author, you may also use BXLE free of charge to translate your INI-based language files.

A Language File is divided into several section. Every menu and dialog has its own section (e.g. Menu_Mainframe for the main menu). This sections contain the strings to translate.

All strings in the Language File are shown in a tree in Broken X Language Editor. When you select a string item in the tree, its source string, and if available, its translation is shown in the right window. If you finished the translation of a string, you can go to the next one by a click on OK or a hit on the ENTER key.

You don't have to translate the whole Language File at once. When you save it, you can restart where you ended. You can find the first untranslated string by using 'Edit->Search Untranslated String (Ctrl+U)'. You can also search for a specified string in either destination or source strings.
