Attesoro Instructions

All you need to do is double click the jar file to start Attesoro. Some systems may not support executable jar files correctly. If double clicking on the jar file does not work, try the following command lines:
java -jar attesoro.jar
java -classpath attesoro.jar com.Ostermiller.attesoro.Editor

To use Attesoro you need to be able to open a file to translate. Since most programs come in a jar file, you may need to extract the jar file to find the translatable files. Jar files are the same as zip files so you can rename the jar file to a zip file and then use any unzip program to extract the contents. Alternately you can use the jar tool that comes with Java. It accepts a command line something like this:
jar xfv file.jar
Translation files have the extension ".properties".

Once you have a file to translate it you can open it from the File --> Open menu of Attesoro. You can also specify the translation file on the command line when you start Attesoro.
