Language - File Location

[august 0]

Where is the language located in the file system?

 

The reason I am asking is that I had a problem with greyed out buttons, didn't look into the manual (where the solution is described ...) and made a complete reinstallation of the program.

 

Before that I made backups of:

- Documents and Settings

- Program files

- My files

 

Meanwhile I solved the problem as it was explained in the manual and copied back all old files. Everything is as before, only the translations I had changed in the German language are missing.

 

Where can I find them, they must be located in any file.

Language translations are stored in a file called Strings.dbf.

 

The Help topic "Data File Storage" describes the locations of the data files - as it says, the Language files are in the "Shared Program Data Files"group, which by default are stored:

 

Windows Vista:

C:\ProgramData\The Master Genealogist v7

 

Windows XP and Windows 2000:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\The Master Genealogist v7

Many thanks, Terry. Next time I will check the documentation first, which seems to be much better than usual.

You're welcome, August.

 

I think the Help system in TMG is very good and very through. But it's a complex program so there's lots of information, and sometimes you have to use the search feature to find what you need.
