How to translate FileVistaControl to a new language
Translating FileVistaControl to other languages is pretty easy. Language files are simple XML files and kept under FileVistaControl\languages folder. To create a new language file, make a copy of en.xml and rename it to the standard culture name related to that language. For instance, rename it to de.xml for German language. Edit the new xml file and translate each string element but do not modify the key attributes. If a string includes a place holder {0}, do not forget to include it in the translated string too. You can also create language files for specific cultures. For instance, you can create de-CH.xml for German in Switzerland. There is a fallback mechanism, FileVistaControl will first look for the language file de-CH.xml and if the file is not found, it will load the general language file of that culture which is de.xml.

We will appreciate if you send us the language files you created so that we can include them in the distribution package.
