Topic: Translation of Forex Strategy Builder Professional

Forex Strategy Builder Professional allows translation of the user interface and indicators.

You can edit and improve current translations or translate the program on your language.

Please find more info for the language editor and language files in that article: Language Editor

If you want to translate the program, contact me first via Persona Message (PM). We can arrange a small reward or a free FSB Pro license if you don't have one yet.

When you edit a translation, please make a copy of the file first, because we may publish an update and to override the distributed language files.

Language Editor download link: LanguageEditor.zip

Creating a new translation

1. Load one of the distributed with the program translations.
2. Export a new language file from Tools -> Export New Language File menu with a proper name.
3. Load the new file. It will contain English - English phrases.

The program shows not-translated phrases in yellow.

Translating Language with Google Translate

1. Load new language file (shown in the previous post)
2. Export all alternative phrases to a text file by using the Tools -> Export Alternative Phrases menu.
3. Go to https://translate.google.com/, copy/paste all the text there, translate it and copy/paste the text back to the text file.
4. Import the translated phrases with  Tools -> Import Alternative Phrases menu.
5. Edit the phrases.

I made a Chinese translation in that way.

Re: Translation of Forex Strategy Builder Professional

I'll work on two main tasks in next 1-2 months.

1. Improving exported EA
  - to fix the required bars of the exported EAs. The exported EA crashed when there is no enough bars in MT tester. I'll try to make it skipping the calculations until there are enough bars.
  -  to fix Day Closing of Exported EA. Now the user must set Day Cosign 2 and Week Closing 2 indicators in order to be sure the positions will be closed at the right time. I want  to make the EA checking what was the correct closing time automatically.


2. Simple and reusable indicators base class
  - to make the creating of custom indicators very easy in both MQL and C# by using ready base classes.
  - to make tutorials, documentation and videos for creating custom indicators.
