In the latest new.txt file:

! value separator used in the file summary on the bottom right of the main panel eg. 10 files, 11MB, 2:40 - preserve the trailing space
#Main.msg., #      ,

1. Very bad: the editor I use strips trailing spaces on save and I'll have to use another external editor to add the missing space...
2. and more important: it's very difficult veryfying if the space is missing, and easy for it to go astray.

Would it be possible for MusicBee to add the space in after reading this setting from the file?

With all the due respect, but such an editor doesn't deserve to be used in my opinion (or at least it should allow to disable such an option).
I highly recommend Notepad++

[Steven]

it now adds a space if none is present

Steve, I can't get to work these translations

#Main.key.Insert#   Insert
#Main.key.Enter#   Invio
#Main.key.Right#   Freccia destra
#Main.key.Left#   Freccia sinistra
#Main.key.Space#   Spazio
#Main.key.NumMinus#   Numpad -
#Main.key.NumPlus#   Numpad +
#Main.key.Del#   Canc

I'm using ver. .4153

Do the IDs I've added actually exist?

I was using Word for my translation first, but after you mentioned that you use Notepad++, I also begin to use it. As it turned out Notepad++ is very convenient for such tasks.

I think you must download .4157:

It also comes with a Compare plugin that helps a lot for translation: just open both files (original + localized) then ALT+D

Thanks to both.
Steven, could you link the latest exe for translators in a more visible place for the future? I sometimes find it difficult to find it

Thank you


EDIT:
some problems with these, which don't seem to be recognized:

#Main.key.Del#   Canc
#Main.key.NumMinus#   Numpad-
#Main.key.NumPlus#   Numpad+

[Steven]

try
#Main.key.Delete#   Canc

for the other two they need special handling which i will add - the set of keys with special handling

NumPlus
NumMinus
NumDivide
NumMult
WinKey
Ctrl
Alt
Shift

Steven, what strings parameter {0} is constructed from in #Main.msg.0up#? String #Main.msg.0up# looks fine in english, but in russian it looks like '# files # files updated' If I change string #Main.msg.0up# form '{0} updated' to 'updated {0}' then statusbar text is '# files updated # files', i.e. something is added to the beginning of string #Main.msg.0up# and something is substituted instead of '{0}'.

[Steven]

includes the .exe fixes for the issues above
