Make it work! * Fix signature of instanciation function * Use language name rather than code to match the FS layout * Use app binary name rather than MIME sig to match the FS layout * Convert strings from ISO8859-1 to UTF-8
Amiga applications use a locale catalog format based on IFF. It is fairly simple:
type: CTLG chunks: FVER, LANG, CSET, STRS
FVER: the standard version chunk; contain the version of the app to be localized LANG: holds a string which is the name of the target language CSET: I don't know what this is, apparently unused. STRS: the translated strings. The format is 2 DWORDs followed by the string data. The first dword is the string ID, the second is the length. Each string is padded so each entry in the table starts on a DWORD boundary.
String lookup is done by ID only, unlike the Haiku native catalog formats which does lookup by strings instead. This is faster as there is no need to hash the source string, and no possibility of hash collision.
