Fantastic! Thank you all for volunteering your help to work on translating 7th Heaven! I appreciate anything you can do to assist. I know there is a lot of text in the program, so if you can only partially complete it due to time constraints, etc., I am happy to accept any parts that you are able to do. I decided to post publicly instead of PM since not everyone can accept PMs yet, plus maybe other folks would like to work on additional languages besides French, German, and Spanish. If anyone works on any language, please be a native speaker of that language so you understand the natural flow and the nuances of the language (as in no machine-translations from Google translate, etc. please, which can make very weird word decisions sometimes). If more than 1 person would like to help with a translation, please coordinate which part(s) you will do to break up the work so you aren't stepping on each others' toes and duplicating work.
The download for all languages are in this zip file:

All you have to do is extract the XML file(s) that you are able to translate and edit the text inside of it. The first part, the Key (in quotes) is a variable name. Do not change these. That is how 7H knows how to look up the word or phrase. The string/text that you would change is in between the start and end blocks of <system:String> such as in the example below. It is important that if there are extra spaces, tabs, or extra lines that you don't remove those (due to formatting for dialog boxes, etc.). Also do not edit anything in brackets like {0} or {1} or {file} as these are also variables used by 7th Heaven that are replaced with various things like file names, folder paths, mod names, etc. Anything beginning with <!-- like <!--Main Window Buttons--> are just comments.
Example:
<system:String x:Key="Play">You Edit This Text Here</system:String>
Feel free to send updates to your xml file to me via whatever method works best for you, such as pastebin, discord, or you can PM me for other methods. As you progress/send updates, I can integrate them into the program and send you updated versions of 7H so you can see the results of your work in the program. Please let me know if/as you have questions. Again, I can't express enough my gratitude for your help in making 7H better and more accessible to more FF7 fans around the world!
