Hello,
I am new here so please be understanding for me.
I hope it's the right place for a topic like this... :)
That's my first topic here - I registered on the forum only because of the problem.
OK, here we go:
I downloaded Code::Blocks few days ago and I like it really much. The only thing which I'd like to change is the language. I know English well, but using it in my own language would be much more comfortable.
I didn't find any language files so I decided to compile the program myself and change its content to my language (Polish, if you're curious :)).
I have downloaded the source from the official download site (I mean this one: http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/source (http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/source)).
Then I proceeded according to the source compilation tutorial on the Codeblocks Wiki.
Everything was OK - I compiled the source successfully, I even managed to translate few things.
And it worked well.
But when I tried to edit the menu file (src/resources/main_menu.xrc) and compiled it, the program failed to work.
Actually it looked like this:
I started the program, I saw the splashscreen, it was being shown for a few seconds and then...
the application just crashed! I tried to run it few more times, but the result was the same.
Then, when I changed the main_menu.xrc file back to the original one and compiled it, it worked well again.
The problem occurs when I change even one small thing in the file! For example, I tried to change the "File" label to "Fabc" (just a test string) and it stopped working; but when I changed it back to "File", it worked again.
Please help me - I actually have no idea why is it happening and how to solve it.
P.S.If you need this information... I am using Windows 7 32-bit and Code::Blocks 10.05.

Internationalization directly in the source-code is not a good idea, unless you know exactly what you do.
Please read this wiki-article: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Internationalization (http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Internationalization)
I don't know whether the files at launchpad are actual or outdated, but there is at least a polish-file someone worked on in may 2010 : https://translations.launchpad.net/codeblocks/trunk/+pots/codeblocks (https://translations.launchpad.net/codeblocks/trunk/+pots/codeblocks).

Thank you for your help, but I still have a problem.
I've downloaded the Polish .mo file and then proceeded according to the tutorial:
I created a 'locale' directory in CodeBlocks/share, then I created another one - 'pl_PL' and I placed the codeblocks.mo file there.
Now I have no idea what to do with it. :D C::B doesn't self-recognize it and I don't know how to set the language file to be used.
Please help me...

Thank you, this setting works.
Unfortunately the Polish translation is done bad in my opinion, I'll try to make my own one.
Thank you all for your help. :)
P.S.I am still curious... why did the app crash afer editing main_menu.xrc?

Impossible to answer, without the xrc-file, that leads to the crash.

[...] without the xrc-file [...]
Not possible - I didn't rename, move neither deleted the file, I just changed its content a bit.
But it still was in the right directory.

jens means that it is impossible to tell why C::B crashed unless you provide exact details of which file you changed and how.

I've already told that in the first post of this topic.
