The French refer to “les anglaises”.

I guess it’s a bit of a lost cause trying to explain that England, United Kingdom, Great Britain, and The British Isles are four different things.

But a resident of said country? Ought to know better…

In WW2 we were known as “Englanders” by the Germans.

I guess “Rick” is known as the “Mad English” :-)

the French language has the French flag, the German the German flag.

Indeed, and those are the flags of the countries where that language is predominantly “from” (though, Belgium…).

The flag of the United Kingdom is the not the English flag. Otherwise you could just as easily represent the English language using the stars and stripes, and some American sites do (and we over here tend to think that’s a bit insular).

English language English flag, if some one wants to do a Scotish language I will add it, the French language has the French flag, the German the German flag.

I see from the screenshot on your site that the English option has the English flag.

Theirfar wan mayst be making a vershun in writted Scots, same be nea reader freendly?

Tae be fair tae Scots, I don’t have that accent so my lame attempts at spelling the words (is there even an official Scots dictionary?) are… nea guid.

But, whatever, ought to get that little 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 waving. ;)

[I’ll leave it to somebody else to deal with 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿!]

New version with German language supported. Also How to create your own language packs page for those that want to create their own language packs.

What library are you using?

Other than the Shared C Library, none.

MouseCmd is a bit too simple really. It doesn’t need an assembler file as a start point. But the whole reason, to me, for doing it is to demonstrate the feasibility of one way of doing a translation, where it can be done function by function, and still have a fully working module at each stage.

@Dave
What library are you using?
In the MouseMod example, the only code that would need to be transcribed I think, is the insertion into the mouse buffer. The other functions are only used to decode the parameters of the *command.

I’m not done yet…and I need to work on the comments…

In any case, it’s a good opportunity for me to review the coding of the modules.

Note: !Sid gives the name of the functions directly and the use of DDE macros allows you to practically obtain the text to insert into the CmgHdr.

Work out what it does, then write a replacement.

For bigger tasks, it should be possible to replace a function and still call the lower level functions – replacing one level at a time. But this remains to be tried.

Interesting – how did you plan to convert 32bit ARM code into ‘C’?

Hmm perhaps something more like Lutris, with scripts for each version/OS for it to run on.
