It is however possible to change a lot of the language related items in DatePad. This way you can translate all the menus, the context menus, the settings screens and the tooltips to the language you prefer. Translations are made available in an initialization file which is delivered with DatePad. Right now there is translation for the Dutch language only. To activate a translation you need to follow the next steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Locate the place where you installed DatePad. Normally this will be <code>C:\\Program Files\\DatePad\\<\/code><\/li>\n<li>Locate the language file of your choice (for example: &#8220;<code>dutch.ini<\/code>&#8220;)<\/li>\n<li>Rename the language file to &#8220;<code>datepad.ini<\/code>&#8220;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The next time you start DatePad it should use the new language wherever possible. You can try to make your own translation my modifying the &#8220;<code>datepad.ini<\/code>&#8220;. If you make a different translation please send it to me, so it can be made available to more people.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a name=\"faq\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><a name=\"copypaste\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Is it possible to copy and paste?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can copy and paste textual information to and from other applications.
