First of all congratulations Keith with this new version! We've talked about it in the past and I am glad to see you got it up and running!

Now to my question. I am a bit suprised to see one has to pay for the option to change the brand. I thought that this was an option that was already part of version 5? I did change the brand on one of my sites.

A main reason for changing the brand is so freinds and associates of your customers will go to you instead of us when they see editwrx and want one of their own. Every time that happens we lose sales and you make sales. Our experience has been that each rebranded V5 cost us hundreds of dollars in lost referrals.

Hello Keith!

I understand that you went about it this way:-) It just took me a bit by suprise.

I do have another question though. Is there a single file that contains the texts used in EditWrx? I would love to see if I can make the whole thing in dutch without going over every single file and seeing if there are english terms used and translating them accordingly.

The text is not in a single file, but a single folder. Look at the files in library/lang/english. All of the text in EditWrx is in those files in  variables.

To make a translation, create a folder named the language you want, such as "library/lang/dutch". Then copy all of the files and the help folder and files in the english folder into the new "dutch" folder. Then open each file and change the words after the = sign on each line. Translate the files in the help folder too.

Whenever the login page or login prompt load EditWrx reads the b/lang folder and creates a menu of available languages from the names of the folders found in the lang folder. It automatically capitalizes the first character of the name so "dutch" will display as "Dutch".

In the Site Parameters on the Admin Control Panel you can set a language as the default language for the site. If the user selects a language while logging in it sets a cookie that take precedence over the site default.

Note that the /english folder contains a number of icon gif images. Those ate toolbar images that you may want to change in your "dutch" folder since they are english language specific images.
