Welcome! If you are reading this text it means that you are (maybe) interrested
in making traslations of program Blocek.
Virtualy all messages in this program are stored in external files.
For each language version are defined two such files.
For example for english they are BLOCEK1.EN and BLOCEK2.EN
Analogicaly - for russian language they are BLOCEK1.RU and BLOCEK2.RU
The messages in BLOCEK1.* files are displayed not for main program but from
the GUI library Wokna32 which is Blocek built on. It is for example fileselector,
various YES-NO-CANCEL dialogs and so on.
In files BLOCEK2.* are specific messages just for editor Blocek.
In both variants they have the same structure.
The lines beginning with "#" are LABELS
Other lines are the displayed texts. They can be on one line ot they can take
more lines.

1) Labels:
All labels begin with char "#". Example:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#_VYBINFO
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

So far, the labels in the BLOCEK1.* files are prefixed by char "_" and labels
in BLOCEK2.* files are without prefix but it may change in the future.
You must NOT change these labels otherwise the program will not be able to find
the correct message. You can change the order of the labels+texts but I don't
recommend it because of the worse maintainability in such case.
The names of these labels are usualy based on the czech language so it can be
a complication for you but yeah, life is hard.
The special kind of line are these beginning with two # (with ##). Such lines
are commentaries. Example:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
## This message appears before saving the edited text.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

2) Texts:
Every line beggining with other char than "#" is considered as a message
belonging to last label.
The only exception is the space before the very first label.
All such lines are processed as the commentaries until first label line is
reached.

You can change these texts as you wish. Generaly, the one line messages should
be kept as the one line messages otherwise an unpredicted effects can happen.
From all lines are removed leading and tailing spaces. If you want them you
have to close the desired text inside apostrophes. Example:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#_DOTAZ
'Question:     '
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other special case are multi-message labels.
To reduced the amount of labels was the following trick introduced.
Some messages contain the asterix sign "*". Example:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#exif_GPS_info
GPS information*latitude:*longitude:*altitude:*azimuth*N*S*W*E*m*ø*ï*ñ
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The "*" signs splits the message into substrings which will be refered in the
program as #exif_GPS_info:1, #exif_GPS_info:2 and so on.
This spliting into substrings must be kept in all language translations too.
The empty lines:
If the empty lines are between "normal lines" they will be printed in the
message just as empty lines. If such lines are not between normal lines but
at the end of the messages they will be removed from the message. So you can
use them as a separator between last text line and the next label.

3) Tags:
Inside texts are used several general tags and several specific tags. They are
marked into <> brackets like in the most web marking languages.
The general tags are:
<FONT=somefont.ch> changes used font
<SF> returns previous font (line </FONT> in HTML)
<BARVA=xxxx> changes the text color to numeric value [xxxx]
<BARVA=!>    changes the text to internal predefined color number two
<SB> back to previous text color
<POZADI=xxxx> changes the text background to numeric value [xxxx]
<SP> back to original background
<PODTRH=+> text will be underlined
<PODTRH=-> text will be without underline

You can place and remove these tags as you want - they have a cosmetic effect
only. And it is allowed (and recomended) to change more text attributes in one
tag. In such situation are the attributes separated by the ";" char. Example.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<FONT=latin216,ch;BARVA=64000;PODTRH=+>Error<SF;SB;PODTRH=-> - press some key
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Besides these are in several places used specific tags. They define the appearance
and even the behaviour in only some special situations.
The most important are:
<VYZNAM=x>  Meaning of the text. It is widely used in the GUI windowing system
            You should always keep this value as is. In the BLOCEK1.* files
            they are usulay a negative numbers, in BLOCEK2.* usualy positive

<KLAVESY=x> This tag is used with texts displayed on buttons. Word "klavesy"
            means "keys" and it defines the key shortcuts for activating
            from keyboard (without mouse clicking on this text). Example:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#_ANO
' <BARVA=!;KLAVESY=y$;VYZNAM=-1>Y<SB>es '
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Label "_ANO" (means "_yes")
- Changes text color to predefined system color used for highlighting the
  keyboard shortcuts
- Besides clicking to button can be the button acticated by pressing the
  [ALT-y] or by [enter]. The "$" char means [enter]
- The meaning of this text is represented by value "-1" what means "confirmated"
  or "yes.
- The "Y" is printed with while color, the "ES" with black color


If you are curious how to write chars "<" and ">" you have the answer now:
besides "<" write "<<" and besides ">" write ">>"


4) Fonts and coding.
In the Blocek2.* files is somewhere in the very beginning the label
#sys_font and #sys_font_maly with lines like:
   #sys_font
   latin216.ch
   #sys_font_maly
   latin214.ch
   #sys_font_kodovani
   852
These lines have a special meaning for the whole program and it defines which
fonts will be used as the default ones for all GUI system.
They are in the fact the configuration parameters.
The label/parameter "#sys_font_kodovani" says which coding the texts are coded
in. It is important in case when you will copy some texts from GUI into
clipboard. The number (in this case 852) specifies the codepage.
You can also use for GUI system a unicode fonts. In such case place into this
place the value 0 or 65535 or write here "unicode" (without quotes)
The labels/parameters "#sys_font" and "sys_font_maly" specify which font will
be used for writting the GUI messages. It should be corresponding with the
"sys_font_kodovani" setting.
Note, that you can everytime override the GUI fonty the <FONT> and <SF> tags
but only temporary and there is currently no way how to temporary override
the coding setting.

The last special parameter is the label "#identifikuj_se" in the BLOCEK2 files. The one-line text in this label is the language identifier
which must be in the unicode UTF-8 coding because it is always displayed
with the unicode font.
