Before starting to translate, you will need to download and build the game sources:  [[BuildHowTo]]

Adding a new language support to Newton Adventure need two steps:

<ul>
<li>create a messages_${language}_${country}.properties file in the game/src/main/resources directory. Check messages.properties (default, english) and messages_fr_FR.properties file (french) for example. <strong>Note that you cannot write these file with utf-8 encoding</strong>. They must to be encoded as <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4659929/how-to-use-utf-8-in-resource-properties-with-resourcebundle">ISO-8859-1</a>.</li> And yes java api choice sucks.
<li>create image button for each file following the pattern bt-*__${language}_${country}.png. They must be 256x256 32 bits RGBA png. You can create them using the button.svg at the end of this page as a template and the export function of <a href="http://inkscape.org">Inkscape</a>. Again check the french file as examples.</li>
</ul>
