Woow, I never seen a question like that! Crystal clear my friend biggrin.gif
If you talk about Windows Live Messenger, actually WLM is translate in all languages. French, english, spanish, czech.. name it, you've got!

Go to Microsoft web page http://get.live.com/messenger/overview and take a deep look.

Download free.

Yes I'm ironic, but it sound like a dumb question like you had never take 5 minutes for saw what it is.

If you're looking for MSN messenger, i think a mac version exisits. I remember removing someting like "Msn messenger" from the dock after I installed Office 2008
FilipeMB
lol. I guess you didnt get what i tried to mean. In windows, we could translate some apps/files w hex or resources editors. I asked how could i try to do something like this for osx.there must be some way as messenger exists in other languages beside english. But i would like to see it in portuguese.
FreemanTP
biggrin.gif apparently. But your post wasn't really self-explaning...
Isn't it already available in Portuguese?

Dear FelipeMB:
Unfortunely there is not a portuguese version of MS Messenger for Mac
You can look at this link if one of these versions is good for you.

to translate "any app" under osx
go "any app" - use show package contents command (somewhere under open with)
go contens/resources/English.lproj

copy this folder out... rename to s.t. like Portugese.lproj or pt.lproj
and edit Localizable.strings for texts

in folders inside pack are for help icons (if differs for lng...)
FilipeMB
Thanks zandera. It was exactly what I meant. Seriousrad, I knew there's no portuguese microsoft messenger, that's why I "came" with this idea.Actually I could open it and I guess it will be possible to translate. biggrin.gif
FilipeMB
Right now, the main problem is translating the "apple bar" and the dock texts (the text that appear when you right-click Microsoft Messenger icon on dock).Found the file. "localized.rsrc" inside .lproj file. But how to edit it properly under OSX? In TextEdit, it gets all messed up.
FilipeMB
Any suggestions?
cyclonefr
there is some editor, i don't remember the name, included with Xcode.
FilipeMB
I found a few shareware or commercial softwares but I am not willing to pay for it.
~pcwiz
Try opening the file with Xcode like cyclonefr said.
FilipeMB
No help from xcode sad.gif
cyclonefr
Install Xcode, there IS a soft to edit English.lproj.
FilipeMB
Don't worry, I got a resource editor in THAT website.
