    I'll appreciate it if you would just translate those two labels. The quit label is already in there, but I just didn't use it. I'll fix that, along with the two missing labels, in the next release.

    Thank you!

    "Dump system ROM" = Salva la ROM del sistema
    "System information" = Informazioni sul sitema

    Can you add manually those strings? or i should rebuild the file again?

    I translated the two strings and tested it, but seems the language file is not used or detected
    in this new version of the program, the option of "Dump system ROM" remains in english, and if
    i press the start button the texts about the memory cards are in japanese.

    Regards.

    The telltale sign that your console's kernel language setting is set to Japanese is that you see my partial Japanese translation.

    How are you testing it? If you're using PCSX2 and are starting the ident tool via its ELF-launching functionality, you're observing a fault in PCSX2 (It doesn't load the console's OSD configuration).

    If you're testing it on real hardware, how are you launching the ident tool?

    If the program can't load the localization files (either because the files can't be loaded or it finds that the number of lines in the files not matching the correct number of lines), it'll fall back to using the built-in resources, which will be entirely in English.

    I'm testing it in the real hardware launching the files using uLE from a pendrive.

    I see now that the HDL Game Installer is in english too, then i discovered that something
    changed the spanish language in my browser for the english one.

    Now i changed again to the spanish and the HDL Game Installer works fine again with the
    spanish files, but not for the PS2Ident and for the FMCB installer (i made the spanish
    translation for it recently).

    The PS2Ident do not have the texts of memory cards in japanese is all entirely in english.

    The FMCB installer have the main texts of options in english and the texts which describes
    the options in spanish, are mixed.

    If the translators of other languages can try them in last versions of PS2Ident and FMCB
    installer would be helpful also.

    Regards.

    I just set my SCPH-39006's language setting to Spanish, and PS2Ident seems to be loading the Spanish localization files that I bundled with it. FMCBInstaller doesn't have Spanish localization files yet, so it stays entirely in English.

    All the three pieces of software that I've uploaded recently use the same multi-language system. The text is seperated into two groups, so you may see part of the user interface in English when one of the files either cannot be loaded or is rejected (When the number of lines isn't correct).

    The files are not interchangeable between the three pieces of software because each one has different labels and messages.

    Blank lines are counted as lines in the file as well, hence why I wrote that blank lines must not be inserted anywhere (not even at the buttom of the file, right after the last line).

    EDIT: To be sure that your new localization files are fine, check whether the number of lines in both the labels and strings files match the template I've provided for each of the latest versions of each software. As for the ident tool, I know that I mentioned that there are two missing labels... but I have not added them into the program yet and so please don't do it on your end (Unless you're going to modify the software on your own) because it won't work with the copy I uploaded.

    Oh, i added the two strings in the PS2Ident, i thought you made it working, i deleted the two lines
    for test it and now the PS2Ident works fine again with spanish language.
    Attached are the spanish templates of PS2Ident with the two new strings added.

    About FMCB installer i not encounter what happens, seems the number of lines are
    the same, and there is not blank lines.

    I attach the spanish translation of FMCB Installer for you include it and also
    you take a look.

    Regards.

    Thank you for working on the translations!

    I've tested your localization for the FMCB installer, and it works fine. I'm not sure why you can't get it working, but it works on my console with the Spanish language selected from the OSD.

    I'll include it in the next release, but I'll stay open for bug reports with the automatic language selection.

    Thank you!

    Glad to hear that it wasn't actually a problem! :D

    For a moment there, I was actually a little worried that I was about to find myself dealing with a bug that can't be reproduced with my own hardware.

    PS2Ident v0.802 OBT re-released!

    Changelog for v0.802 (2013/07/19 02:30 re-release):

    1. Reenabled optimization. I changed the Makefile in v0.801, but forgot that optimization is disabled by default.
    2. Added missing labels. Updated all localizations (German localization has English text inserted).
    3. Added Portuguese localization.
    4. Fixed misnamed German localization files.
    5. Adjusted initialization code, since the homebrew I/O functions are not multi-thread safe. The UI will be initialized outside of the initialization thread, and the drivers that provide access to the supported bootup devices will be loaded before the initialization thread starts too.

    This was done so that future localizations can be made with the corrected labels. So that things will be easier for everybody.

    PS2Ident v0.803 OBT released!

    Changelog for v0.803:

    1. Fixed the inline assembly code which the tool uses to obtain the EE FPU revision and implementation IDs.
    2. Added French and Dutch localizations.
    3. The startup device will now be checked, and the program will quit if it was started from an unsupported device.
    4. The program will now quit if the resource files (e.g. fonts) cannot be loaded, instead of getting stuck at a black screen.
    5. Updated to compile with the latest PS2SDK revision.

    v0.805 released!

    Changelog for v0.805:

    1. Added the SCPH-50000 series GH-023 mainboard to the ID list. Special thanks to krHACKen!
    2. Added the CXD2953AGB EE+GS GS chip ID.
    3. Fixed region detection on slimlines (Consoles like Russian consoles were affected). The DVD ROM should now be detected properly on these consoles.
    4. Recompiled with the latest PS2SDK revision, so that it can receive the new bugfixes.
    5. Cloned the model name reading function from the HDD OSD, since it seems like at least my new SCPH-15000 unit is not returning an error code when the "Read model" command is issued.
    6. The specifications log file will now have CRLN line endings. Rejoyce Windows users! :D


    For more information, downloads and links, please refer to the first post of this thread.

    I think it'd be cool if the CD version of this tool had both BOOT= and BOOT2= entries and a PS1 version of the program to identify which model of PS1 you have =)

    Are you making a database of all models or something?

    These are the models I have:
    PS1: SCPH-5501, SCPH-5903, SCPH-7000W, SCPH-7501, DTL-H1101, DTL-H1002, DTL-H3000
    PS2: SCPH-30001, SCPH-39001, DTL-H50001
