<p>LameXP v4.00 is a complete re-write of LameXP. This time LameXP is developed in C++ and it is based on the <a href="http://qt.nokia.com/products/" target="_blank">Qt</a> cross-platform application framework. The good news for translators is that Qt provides <i>full Unicode support</i>, which was also one of the main reasons for the re-write. Consequently there will be no more headache with different Codepages! Furthermore the Qt framework provides a sophisticated translation system, which allows for easy internationalization and localization. There even is an easy-to-use graphical tool for translating Qt application, the <a href="http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/linguist-manual.html" target="_blank">Qt Linguist</a>. So before you start translating, you should make yourself familiar with the <i>Qt Linguist</i> application first. As a translator, having a quick look at the <a href="http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/linguist-translators.html" target="_blank">guide for translators</a> should be sufficient.</p> <p>LameXP v4.00 is a complete re-write of LameXP.

<p>You can download <i>Qt Linguist</i> as a part of the Qt Framework, which is available as a free download from the <a href="http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/downloads" target="_blank">Qt download site</a>. You should pick the "LGPL" version and the "Qt: Framework Only" download. If you are using Microsoft Windows, then the "VS 2008" version should be preferred. Moreover people who don't like to download the complete framework (230 MB) can find Qt Linguist for Windows as a stand-alone download at <a href="http://code.google.com/p/mulder/downloads/detail?name=qt-linguist-471-win32.rar" target="_blank">this</a> location (4 MB).</p> <p>You can download <i>Qt Linguist</i> as a part of the Qt Framework, which is available as a free download from the <a href="http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/downloads" target="_blank">Qt download site</a>.
