If your native language isn’t available or if the translation is outdated please help out. Here is how: Translate instructions:
I’ve tried to make it as easy as possible to make a translation of Kantaris.The translation files are located inside the language folder in the kantaris folder. For example: “C:\Program Files\Kantaris\Languages”. They are regular .txt files and can be opened with notepad. Filename should be [country code]-[native country name].txt for example sv-Svenska.txt, or en-English.txt. You can get the country codes by looking at the flags in the Kantarislags directory. Check the sv-Svenska.txt for what is needed to be translated.  The text inside the ‘[’ and ‘]’ is the text that should be translated. A example:
[Open file to play]=Öppna fil för uppspelning
[original text]=translated text Ones done, send the file to me in an e-mail
