Wordpress Binary Blue Localization Problem Solved

9th July 2006, 04:56 pm

I have the same localization problem with other guys that run binary blue theme. For details, you can read the post about Binary Blue Localization
I try and test from my home computer and the localization works perfect. However my server somehow doesn’t let me to do it. I tried every combination of the naming for the WPLANG and for the PO filename. My site was still displaying in german. So I decided to write a simple utility to convert the main files to the localized files. After 2 hours of hard coding I successed with localization using the PO text file.
Here is the tool to localize binary blue to your language using the PO file.

PO File Integrator

Downloads: 654 File Name: po.zip

To use the program you need to have .Net Framework 2.0 installed. Also you need to download the desired PO file and the theme itself. After that you can run the program to rewrite the files for you.
I don’t know if anybody is interested with the source code, if you do please let me know.

How to use it

Run the program

Select folders desired, destination folder should be empty!

Click Start, and you are done. Copy the files to the default themes location in the web server

Console2: Tabbed Command Prompt

6th July 2006, 01:01 am

Another open source tool appears on the web.
DownloadSquadLink Console: Tabbed command prompt for Windows.

This one is really useful to me. We are using console when we can’t do everything with mouse clicks. For example, we might want to compile a cs from the visual studio command prompt, we can’t do from the normal command prompt because the assemblies are not referenced(of course you can do, but it is not out of the box)

Console is an application that allows you to use the command prompt. Not only the command or cmd but also anything we would like. Here is the settings windows that we do the configurations.

Using the settings window we can add new consoles. Actually we can directly edit the exml file. Here is my xml file configured for visual studio 2003 and 2005 command prompt, and windowspower shell
