This was a question from an Italian gentleman.  I decided to post my answer on the forum to help others as well.

Steps to Create a New Skin

  • Find where GenoPro is located.  The easiest method is to click on the button New Skin from the Report Generator dialog.
  • Copy the folder English to another sibling folder, say Italian as displayed below:

  • Quit the Report Generator dialog.  The next time you open this dialog, you will see the Italian skin appear in the list as below.

If you generate a report, you will get all text in English because all the HTML templates are still in English.

Translate the English Text to Another Language

First, edit the file Config.xml and change the language code as well as skin name from "English Narrative Report" to something more descriptive in your language.

<Skin Name="Italian Narrative Report" Language="IT">

You need to close and re-open the Report Generator dialog to display the new skin name.  After re-opening the Report Generator dialog, you will finally see the Italian skin.

Next, modify the file Dictionary.xml which contains most of the language-specific terms.  Use Notepad to edit this file if you do not have an XML editor.
