How might I go about getting the dictionary file, is it in the file genopro creates, English Narrative Report, and if so, how might I go about translating it into another language? would  I make the file into a *.txt and then do it? And if so, how might I go about translating it into Polish, a language with masculine, feminine, and nueter forms of words? I need (more) help!!

The English Narrative Report is a very complex report (check out the Display all Comments report as comparison), this report use the dictionary for translation purpose. It's partially documented and I can ensure you that documentation are in progress and will be shipped with the final release of GenoPro 2.0 on our new developer dedicated web site.

Even too, some user did manage to translate the dictionary into Spanish, French, German and probably more.

Great idea.  I modified the code to include the prefix "Customized".  For instance, if the user creates a new skin for "English Narrative Report", the folder will be named "Customized English Narrative Report".

I can see that this is the way it works but if you look at the first post in this topic, this is not clear to new users. They are given a new skin with the (almost) same name as the primary skin. If it started from a slightly different name, it would be easier to see what has happened.

GenoPro makes a copy of the existing skin but calls it English Narrative Report (you then have two skins with the same name although the new one has an asterisk)

This is by design.  If you want a different name, just rename the folder or the skin name in Config.xml.  When GenoPro makes a copy of an existing skin, it automatically selects the new skin (with the asterix) which is ready to be customized and generate reports.

When you want to create a new skin and Edit it, GenoPro makes a copy of the existing skin but calls it English Narrative Report (you then have two skins with the same name although the new one has an asterisk)

If the new skin had a modified name, such as 'Your (or New) English Narrative Report' it would be clearer to users who do not know the process

From the report generator dialog box, select "New Skin", it will create a new folder called "Engish Narrative Report", based on the original report files,which are hidden within genopro. Rename this folder and make your changes to those file within this folder you feel need to be changed. If you are planning a report in a different language, you have to open the dictionary.xml file.
Next time you want to make a report based on your modification, select from the list of skins after opening the report dialog box.

How do I create new skins?

All I get is a message saying to copy the content of the English Narrative Report to a sibling folder, I don't understand. HOW!!??
