Labels & Messages Editor

Labels & Messages Editor is a handy tool for translating applications. If you've ever tried managing all the messages, alerts, text boxes, and labels that need translation, you know it can be a real headache! This software makes it easier by letting you view and edit XML files that have all those translations.

Getting Started with Labels & Messages Editor

Starting out with this app might feel a bit tricky. The usage guide isn't super detailed, so our tip? Open the demo file first! It’s a great way to explore the database and see how everything works together.

Main Window Overview

One of the first things you'll notice is that the main window isn’t where you manage the content directly. Instead, it shows you cool stats about how many languages and messages you’ve got. Plus, it gives details about messages, screens, labels, tips, and classes for each language.

Navigating the Interface Menu

If you want to manage your database content, head over to the “Interface” menu. Here’s where you can view all those important labels and messages in your application!

Diving Deeper into Tabs

A new window will pop up with four tabs—each serving a specific purpose. The first tab gives you more detailed statistics about your database than what you saw in the main window.

Exploring Messages and Alerts

The following tabs show generic text messages and alerts along with window labels, tips, menu items, class labels, and more! Each section has handy searching and translation options along with buttons for printing or exporting data. And don’t forget about the data comparison tool—it helps ensure that your translations are spot on!

A Note on Usability

While Labels & Messages Editor isn't super intuitive and lacks some thorough documentation, it can still really help software developers who need to translate their applications. It tracks all words and labels in interfaces effectively! Just keep in mind that if you change the XML file too much, it might not open again properly.
