Once you extract the zip file containing Git Winch (from our official site, or a custom-bundle that was properly packed) you will see that there is a folder named translations present in the same folder as the application.

That folder contains files of this type: en.translations.txt The letters “en” in en.translations.txt indicate the translations for the English language. That is always present. If this file is absent, then Git Winch will not start.

You can separately download such translations files for other languages from our main website. For e.g. If you want the system dialogs to be shown in Malayalam, download ml.translations.txt from our website. Make sure that you are downloading ONLY from our website. Else there can be inexplicable errors.

If you want to change the language; there is a setting in the file gitwinch.ini which you have to change. Look under the [System] section of the ini file and change this. For example; if you wrote the following line in that file, Git Winch will load the Malayalam translations file.

trTranslate=ml
