A Spanish version of
"Cash Register"
Sort of. |
The previous page describes how two files that make up this program can be changed into another language. This includes the file that allows you to ring up sales and one of the files that you use to set the parameters for your cash register.
About a year ago a user named Julian sent me the data file needed to change the POS.EXE file into Spanish (with some problems) and about a month ago a user named Yuli asked me if I had a Spanish version of the Cash Register program. So I dug up Julian's file and made a Spanish version of the POS.EXE file and sent it off to Julian. I recently contacted Yuli and he is still alive so since it did not kill him I decided to upload the Spanish file here for others to download.
But first I wish to post Julian's concerns with his translation...
The translation seems to be causing some strange errors, specially when you try to add some customer info. Those errors are not there in the English version.
For example: you need to press [Enter] 3 times to go to the next line when you try to enter customer information, and the cursor will not be visible until you press a key. And the cursor will not be placed at the start, but rather at the horizontal position it was on the previous line (as seen on the attached picture). And if you press [TAB] it might crash.

Before downloading rename your current POS.EXE file to something else so that you can restore it later by renaming it back to POS.EXE
Now download the spanish.exe file to the folder that you run the Cash Register program from.
Now rename the SPANISH.EXE file to POS.EXE.
Now when you run the Cash Register program the part of the program used to ring up sales will be in Spanish.

One more step!
Since there is already a way to translate your receipts into another language that feature is not activated by downloading the SPANISH.EXE file. To translate your receipts you must go to the Receipt Language feature of the POSCONFG.EXE program to change the labels on your receipts into Spanish.
Help needed!
So there is a problem (one that I cannot fix since I do not speak Spanish) with the above Spanish version of the POS.EXE program. If you would like to try to repair it, but do not want to have to start from scratch, below is a download link for the translation file and some more instructions.
Please note! None of the following will make any sense at all unless you first read the previous page about the language program and have already set it up on your computer!

Before downloading rename your current POS_EDIT.DAT file to something else so that you can restore it later by renaming it back to POS_EDIT.DAT
Now download the spanish.dat file to the folder that you run the POSEDIT.EXE program from.
Now rename the SPANISH.DAT file to POS_EDIT.DAT.
Now when you run the POSEDIT program it will have the Spanish data in it.

And of course if you would like to begin work on a Spanish version of the FILEINFO.EXE program that would be greatly appreciated.
