I've noticed, in the Russian translation the char set in the A-Z jump bar is changed too. How can I do that for the Greek language?

Find string #Main.ctl.JumpList# in your file. If file doesn't contain this string, add it. String must contain non-English characters delimited by comma.

I have a similar request. I'd like to add Hebrew characters to the Jump Bar.
I couldn't find any instructions as to how-to create a new one from scratch, what's the binary file format. I tried googling it, is it some kind of standard? Couldn't find that either.

Trying to open these files in notepad++ always results in all sorts of control character(?), no matter what encoding I try to use.

Just to make it clear what I'm trying to accomplish: I don't want to translate the application to Hebrew - I actually like my OS and all apps in English. I just would like to ADD Hebrew letters to the jump list alongside English Letters.

Any help would be appreciated. No need to hold my hand (hopefully), just point me in the right direction.

Then try this: http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=9317.msg54860#msg54860

Thanks for the quick response. No time to do it now, I'll get to it a bit later. I'll report back how that went.
Edit: OK, I got to it faster than I thought. It looks rather nice, although it behaves a bit differently: it doesn't "jump to the artist, instead it filters/hides all other artists, which results in a rather bare/empty look compared to the nice, colorful look of the whole bunch of people.

I'd like to try, if possible, to create a custom .lng file which is based on English (default) and has this itsy bitsy tiny modification suggested by boroda74 in his reply, above.
The question is where can I find that file?

Edit: nvm, found it, I think
Edit2: Done! Here's the file. I called it Hibrish because, you know, it's not Hebrew. You can call it whatever you like, and you can find it here:

Important note: it's for v2.4

You can create Hirbish.lng with just 1 line #Main.ctl.JumpList# removing the rest of lines. Missing lines will be automatically defaulted to English.

That's a good tip,  it'll probably make Hibrish.lng forward compatible.
Thank you!

Edit: And for the terminally lazy Hebrew speakers out there, here's the file: http://www.filedropper.com/hibrish_1
Just drop it in the Localisation under MusicBee's install dir and pick Hibrish language in options.
