Some notes:

The strings can NOT have any line breaks. Line breaks can be achievedby adding a ``\n'' to denote where the new line occurs.

Some string may look like this: ``Unable to save ini file: %filename%.'' The %filename% bit is actually replaced by the real filename which has the problem at runtime, so a german translation would look like this: ``Speichern der Datei unmöglich: %filename%.''. If there are two or more of those variables, at present the order can'tbe changed (so don't swap two of them around).

Copernicus uses UTF-8 character encoding, all language files must be in that format. I use and recommend the text editing program jEdit.
