From v2.3 Notepad++ supports the multi-language functionality by means of a translated xml file (from english.xml).

Make Notepad++ speak your mother tongue

  1. Get english.xml translate it to your language, rename it to nativeLang.xml.
  2. Copy nativeLang.xml into %APPDATA%\Notepad++\localization or Notepad++_Install_Dir\localization according the installation package you use. Create localization if it doesn't exist.
  3. (Re)Launch Notepad++ - now Notepad++ should display your language.

Teach Notepad++ to speak your language easily

For modifying an existing xml files, here is the way to visualize your modification efficiently. If your language doesn't exist yet, the fowlowing method won't work.

  1. Download the language you want to modify, let's say french.xml, and english.xml as well.
  2. Copy 2 files into %APPDATA%\Notepad++\localization or Notepad++_Install_Dir\localization according the installation package you use. Create localization if it doesn't exist.
  3. Relaunch Notepad++ then launch Preferences dialog, you should see at least English & French in Localization combobox.
  4. Open french.xml in Notepad++ from the folder localization, modify it, save it and switch from English to French via combobox. You'll see your modification on UI of Notepad++ normally.
