HOW-TO:Use XBMC Translator under Linux

Template:Obsolete

OUTDATED: Some information in this article or section has not been updated or refers to XBMC features that have been superseded, and may not be reliable.

This page or section may require cleanup, updating, spellchecking, reformatting and/or updated images. Please improve this page if you can. The discussion page may contain suggestions.

NOTE: This may not work and may create strange things with the translated strings. XBMC doesn't support this. Tested on Ubuntu 8.04.1 with Wine 1.1.2

First get winetricks:

wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks

Run winetricks and install the following for Microsoft .NET 1.1 SP1 to work correctly:

• corefonts
• gdiplus
• vcrun2005
• vcrun2005sp1
• dotnet11

By running:

sh winetricks corefonts gdiplus vcrun2005 vcrun2005sp1 dotnet11

NOTE: You might have to run each item by itself, using:

sh winetricks corefonts

sh winetricks gdiplus

sh winetricks vcrun2005

sh winetricks vcrun2005sp1

sh winetricks dotnet11

Then get the XBMC Translator with:

wget http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/xbmc/TranslatorFilesOnly.zip

Unzip the Translator:

unzip TranslatorFilesOnly.zip

And finally run:

wine Translator.exe

Hopefully this will work, a tip are if winetricks fails, try and remove ~/.wine directory and reinstall wine.
