It was also lacking a way of merging files together. So I've written up this new tool. </p> </div> <h2>Features</h2> <div class="level2"> <ol> <li class="level1"> Reads / Writes valid XML LANG files. Provides a useful error message if there was a parsing failure (errors tab) - helpful for debugging.</li> <li class="level2"> Allows appending lang files together. If there is an entry collision the old entry is kept, and a message output to the errors tab.</li> <li class="level2"> Easy to use, for adding & removing categories & entries you shouldn't even need the mouse.</li> <li class="level2"> Collapsible tree structure to make categories easy to navigate.</li> <li class="level2"> Resources information parsed</li> <li class="level2"> Move entries between categories by dragging and dropping.</li> <li class="level2"> Script support. You can now easily write scripts (C#) to generate language file content.</li> <li class="level2"> SpellChecker</li> </ol> </div> <h2>Download</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> Requires .net framework 3.0 to run. </p> <p> Latest Version: </p> <p> <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64805489/LangEditor/LangEditorV1.1.zip" class="urlextern" title="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64805489/LangEditor/LangEditorV1.1.zip" rel="nofollow">V1.1</a> </p> <p> Older Versions: </p> <p> <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64805489/LangEditor/LangEditorV1.0b.zip" class="urlextern" title="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64805489/LangEditor/LangEditorV1.0b.zip" rel="nofollow">V1.0B</a> <br/> <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?umq27qt20kil27o" class="urlextern" title="http://www.mediafire.com/?umq27qt20kil27o" rel="nofollow">Beta 3</a> <br/> <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?3dr3z1krs3py128" class="urlextern" title="http://www.mediafire.com/?3dr3z1krs3py128" rel="nofollow">Beta 2</a> <br/> <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?57jjtdwtug6jjgx" class="urlextern" title="http://www.mediafire.com/?57jjtdwtug6jjgx" rel="nofollow">Beta 1</a> </p> </div> <h2>Quick Usage Guide</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> Open up a language file using "Open".
