Languages files are simple text files that need to be translated. The lines that start with '#' are comments and are ignored. You need to uncomment and tranaslate the lines with #xxx=xxxxxx xxx. Then you must save the lng file inside Langs Directory to be read by teen spirit.

Creating a new language

1. Open Teen Spirit. Go to Options / Language dialog.
2. Press "Create". A new language file will be created.
3. Save it as (example) "Greek.lng"
4. Open "Greek.lng" with a text editor like notepad.exe
5. Enter optional info in the lines that start with @
6. Replace the english text with the one in your language. Then remove the # (comment sign) from the front of the string. example "#103=Album" should become "103=Δίσκος"
7. Save it to "Langs" folder
8. Test it by going to TeenSpirit / Options / Language and selecting it.
9. Post it to the forum.
