Archive:HOW-TO:Use XBMC Translator under Linux

'''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.
