Notepad++ for Hongkonger

This repo is created for Hong Kong Cantonese localization for Notepad++.

All translations are done by human based on:

• All about Hong Kong: Not Macau Cantonese, not Guangzhou Cantonese, but Hong Kong Cantonese! This localization contains some words only used by Hongkongers.
• How we communicate in daily life: Hong Kong culture is unique mixture of Chinese, British and Western culture in general. We speak Cantonese with some English together. Especially for some technology terms, I would like to retain some English words.
• A little bit Taiwan: We'd got lots of benefit from Taiwan software and books - Eten (倚天中文系統), PC Home, BBS, and more. Remember the old days? I would adapt some terms from Taiwanese Mandarin, if they are not available in Hong Kong.

❤️ Notepad++. ❤️ Hong Kong. ❤️ Hongkongers.

Install and Test

In Windows UI

For common users to install and test it in Notepad++:

1. You can download this repo directly.

2. Unzip the downloaded file, properly called <notepad-plus-plus-localization-hong-kong-master>.

3. Copy and replace the XML file <nativeLang.xml> in your user settings with the file <hongKongCantonese.xml> in this repo.

   	Source	Target
   File name	<hongKongCantonese.xml>	<nativeLang.xml>
   Directory	Root of this repo	<%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\>

4. Restart Notepad++ to apply the change.

To revert the localization: On Notepad++ menu, click 設定 (Settings) ▶︎ 偏好設定 (Preferences) ▶︎ choose an option in 本地化 (Localization).

Via Command Prompt

For better experience, you can use Command Prompt to help a little bit:

:: Clone from my repo or yours
git clone https://github.com/Edditoria/notepad-plus-plus-localization-hong-kong.git
cd notepad-plus-plus-localization-hong-kong

:: Initiate submodule at the first time
git submodule init
:: Update submodule after git pull
git submodule update

:: Inject (Copy) to Notepad++
.\tools\inject.cmd .\hongKongCantonese.xml

Every time you make some changes, you can use the above "inject" command to update. Restart Notepad++ to take effect.

The above information is written for Notepad++ developers and international users. From now on, I would write in Hong Kong Cantonese.

本地化嘅宗旨

Notepad++ 轉介面語言嘅講法係叫 localization 而唔係 translation，所謂本地化，唔係一味轉晒啲字做中文就算，而係要真實咁反映我哋嘅文化，要貼近日常生活。所以，我係以呢啲方針嚟寫嘅：

• 我哋香港人平日點講嘢，個 repo 就用返咩字眼，如果要求書面語，用返台灣正體中文版咪得囉，駛乜搞咁多嘢。
• 盡量尊重返英文版嘅精神同埋用字，例如 file vs document，就跟返寫「檔案」同「文件」。
• 如果某個正字本身好少見人寫，甚至乎冇乜人識睇，跟返約定俗成就好，我哋做嘢以人為本，唔好太追求文字本源。
• 香港人日常寫信都已經中英夾雜，假如某個字已經係用英文為主，就直接用返英文，例如「嘥屎」，與其譯做「大細」唔湯唔水，不如直接寫「size」。
• 香港人早年受台灣電腦書薰陶，介面用慣英文同台灣正體中文，有啲 case 諗唔到點譯做港語嘅，跟返台式中文咪算囉。
• 輕微嘅俗語 okay 但係粗口就免喇，始終 Notepad++ 嘅用家對象係全年齡向。

每一句我都會重複想像情境，例如喺 office：

• 嗰句嘢兜口兜面點樣講出嚟，
• 聽嗰位人兄聽唔聽得明。

總之，譯嘢要符合生活情景，文化傳承要貼地、本土，唔求優雅唔怕庸俗。

呢個 Repo 嘅 Status

已經出咗一段日子，我個人覺得都 okay 啦，有啲細節位有改善空間：

• 整體嚟講啲字詞、語法等嘅用字，有冇一致性嘅問題。
• Typo、錯別字、文法。
• 實際畫面上有冇 overflow 嘅問題，啲字顯示唔到喺個 mon 到。
• 正字、異體字同埋約定俗成點樣拿捏（例如「d」vs「啲」）。
• 有啲 Windows 缺字（例如「
