FeedDemon FAQFeedDemon FAQImportant note to FeedDemon translators concerning RC3- October 31, 2003 As much as I hate making changes this late in the game, I've decided that I really need to modify how languages are added to FeedDemon. These changes are necessary in order to simplify installing new languages, both for end users and for translators (not to mention myself!). Starting with RC3 (coming next week), all displayed strings will be contained in one XML file per language rather than three, and each language file will be stored directly in the DataLang folder rather than in a...http://nick.typepad.com/blog/2003/10/important_note_.html FeedDemon RC2 Localizations- October 28, 2003 My thanks to everyone who took the time to create localized language files for FeedDemon 1.0 RC2:Chinese translation by JediGerman translation 1 by Stefan WalterGerman translation 2 by Thomas StichHungarian translation by Jozsef Tamas HerczegJapanese translation by Hiroshi OkugawaPolish translation by Jakub KazeckiRomanian translation by Andrei BesleagaSpanish and Galician translations by Martn FernndezIf you download a ZIP file from any of the above links, they should be unzipped into a...http://nick.typepad.com/blog/2003/10/feeddemon_rc2_l.html FeedDemon 1.0 RC2- October 27, 2003 FeedDemon 1.0 Release Candidate 2 (RC2) is now available.

Given that FeedDemon doesn't use any proprietary elements, my recommendations below will help optimize your feed for use with pretty much any RSS aggregator. Include each item's publication date, either with <pubDate> or with <dc:date>. A large number of feeds don't include the publication date of each news item, which means that FeedDemon can only show when an item was received...http://nick.typepad.com/blog/2003/10/optimizing_your.html FeedDemon Buzz- October 21, 2003 Looks like the first release candidate of FeedDemon is getting some nice reviews:Nick Finck (Digital Web Magazine)Shirley Kaiser (Brainstorms & Raves)Cale Bruckner (palmit.commentary)Christopher Owens (TwentyFour.org)http://nick.typepad.com/blog/2003/10/feeddemon_buzz.html Localizing FeedDemon RC1- October 20, 2003 In order to make localization easier, FeedDemon stores its text in external XML files within FeedDemon's DataLang subfolder. Localizing FeedDemon involves translating three XML files (const.xml, dialogs.xml and forms.xml), and then creating a new subfolder with the name of the language, as shown in the screenshot below: Shortly after FeedDemon 1.0 RC1 was released, several people created localized versions of FeedDemon's language files, and I'm very thankful for their work. So far, the...http://nick.typepad.com/blog/2003/10/localizing_feed.html Thanks, Shirley :)- October 19, 2003 I'm posting just to say a public "thank you" to Shirley Kaiser for all the nice things she has to say about FeedDemon, and for all the help she's provided in the past with both HomeSite and TopStyle.http://nick.typepad.com/blog/2003/10/thanks_shirley_.html FeedDemon 1.0 RC1- October 19, 2003 FeedDemon 1.0 Release Candidate 1 (RC1) is now available.
