SUMMARY
Microsoft Win32s version 1.30c contains files that allow localized Win32s kits to be built.

MORE INFORMATION
There are 111 files under the NLS directory in Win32s 1.30c. These include various .nls files, and the following files in nine different languages:

  COMCTL32.DLL COMDLG32.DLL FTSRCH.DLL OLEDLG.DLL RICHED32.DLL W32S.386 W32SYS.DLL WINHLP32.EXE

These nine different languages are:

  Danish     (extension: DAN) German    (extension: DEU) Spanish   (extension: ESP) Finnish   (extension: FIN) French    (extension: FRA) Italian   (extension: ITA) Dutch     (extension: NLD) Norwegian (extension: NOR) Swedish   (extension: SVE)

NOTE: The language version of the file is signified by the extension of the file name.

To build a localized Win32s, install English Win32s as usual, and then substitute:

  COMCTL32.DLL COMDLG32.DLL FTSRCH.DLL OLEDLG.DLL RICHED32.DLL W32S.386 W32SYS.DLL WINHLP32.EXE

with the corresponding file in the appropriate language. Then copy the NLS files in the NLS directory.

For example, to build a Danish Win32s, install Win32s English version, and then substitute:

  COMCTL32.DLL COMDLG32.DLL FTSRCH.DLL OLEDLG.DLL RICHED32.DLL W32S.386 W32SYS.DLL WINHLP32.EXE

with

  COMCTL32.DAN COMDLG32.DAN FTSRCH.DAN OLEDLG.DAN RICHED32.DAN W32S.DAN W32SYS.DAN WINHLP32.DAN

Change the extension into DLL or EXE or 386 as appropriate.
