| There are two special sections. ''[default.isl]'' contains general strings for setup application ([[&url(innosetup)|Inno Setup]]). The application is already translated to [[&url(innosetuptransl)|several languages]]. If your language is among them, I'll copy the translation to this section. Please check for typos and other mistakes in the section. | There are two special sections. ''[default.isl]'' contains general strings for setup application ([[&url(innosetup)|Inno Setup]]).

| - | ''[Obsolete strings]'' section contains translated strings that are no longer used in the latest version of application. Also when I need to significantly change original english string, I try to change the string key as well, if possible. In this case your translation will move to [Obsolete strings] with next update. This forces you to update the string translation. You may reuse original translation from obsolete section, if appropriate. Then you may safely remove whole section. | + | ''[Obsolete strings]'' section contains translated strings that are no longer used in the latest version of application.

| Some strings contain parameter placeholders like ''%s'' or ''%d''. These are replaced by actual value on run-time. Make sure that you keep the same order as in english string. I know it can be sometime difficult, because some languages have different word-ordering, but it have to be so. Also translated string should have approximately same length as original string. This applies mainly for strings that appear on dialogs. The error messages etc, might be usually as long as necessary. | Some strings contain parameter placeholders like ''%s'' or ''%d''.
