    Usually the translated strings are required to occupy no more bytes then the strings being replaced.
    Otherwise something in the firmware would have to be rewritten by the extended string section.
    i'm aware of that ... thank you

    i translate the bin file with freeware HxD hex editor. it's easy .. no need for the script ... thank you

    @ abba33
    first of all: 0x preffix means hex number ... so when you see 0x20 means hex number "20" which represent space character in ANSI character set ...
    0x00 number is the null ANSI character but HxD hex editor represent it as "."=dot character as you can see in the photo below (marked red in photo).
    1. don't delete or move these 0x00 characters (you MUST use the space between two 0x00 characters for your translation. If it's not enough use abbreviations. If it's more than enough use space character = 0x20 (hex number) (marked blue in photo)
    2. don't change the size of the file
    3. if it's a lot of work, translate the strings you need. the others keep them in english ...

    Master ddabcd277 & kunix ... if I miss something please correct me ....................

    hex2

    be careful
    in the photo below the 0x00 character is the last one. This you shouldn't move or delete it.
    the first 3 0x2E is the dot character and you can replace them if you want ...
    hex3

    Make sure that '~' is absent in the original strings section, otherwise find some other absent character.
    Then you can edit the text with any text editor which accepts 0x0A as a new line indicator (notepad++ is good enough).
    good idea ... thanks !!!
    '~' is absent in the original strings section ... i've checked it.

    Actually we can change the lengths of individual strings, but not too much, as some strings are constrained with sizes of windows. So we can move the 0x00 bytes ending the strings. The only requirement is that the overall length doesn't increase, but it is allowed to decrease.

    so, just to be sure,

    i can change (increase or decrease) the length of each string but the size of the bin file must be the same or smaller

    is that correct ?

    Greek translation is ready (at least in what I think it's important)

    [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]


    can you please describe the procedure from here on ... in order to make my own corrections in case of errors ?
    I don't want to annoy you guys ...
    Thank you ....

    ps
    the first characters in the bin file is the word "English" ... i didn't know if this should be change to "Spanish" or something else ...

    @ gvp

    Ok, will make it and will post the firmware in the next post. BTW do you know on what frequency spectrum your astro is working? Where have you purchase it from?

    Just as I though! Be carefull as you could be chased by the law as it will use bandwidth which is forbidden for use in Greece/EU.
