Hi,
as far as I understood is the purpose of the .xmg files for translations of csound's output (please correct me if I am wrong). Are there more translations (the .xmg files?) than just English? How do you create/edit those files? A short googeling did not lead to any good results.

Thanks,
Simon

Steven,
thanks for the quick reply.
I found all the files you were mentioning but could not yet figure out 
how to load a specific language when running csound. I copied the french 
output over all_strings and run:
./makedb strings/all_strings french and a file french.xmg got creaed. 
But how do I load that? Should it be compiled into csound - replace each 
string or is it something that should happen each time csound gets invoked.
Still a bit confused how it works.
Cheers,
Simon

Steven,

thanks for the information.
I set the environment variables and tried to load the the French 
localization - which had an output saying that the Gregorian has been 
loaded (It is in the list in Top/getstring.c after the French one). The 
output of the messages was not really french - but with some **** 
characters. Did not start to dig deeper than.
But as you were saying - it does not seem to be in use currently. I was 
curious to see if in general it is supported in Csound because there 
might be an interest of the One Laptop per Child project to have 
localized output.

Cheers,
Simon
