"file type" language

(1/2) > >>

ncnnnn:
I am using a Chinese language pack, but when I added "file type", it did not display in Chinese.
I used language editing extensions and found that I couldn't find the relevant items and couldn't understand the sorting rules.
So I decompressed the language pack and searched for relevant text. I can't find it either.

Additionally, I found that columnset is stored in columnsetsXML. Directly stored name.
When switching languages, columns seem to not switch based on language changes

Jungle:
I can only suppose that "File type" is simply read from registry as I did in my script. But in order to display localized string, so called FriendlyTypeName should be read either by LoadString or by RegLoadMUIStringW (the latter is only supported on Vista+)

1) File type names shown from the filetype columns is returned by Windows. MC ask windows for them. It should return same in Windows Explorer.

2) Yes some places do not support the multi language system. Like the "name" of default column sets.

I don't know what does "is returned by Windows" mean. But I tried simple reading (Default) value for file extension from registry and then LoadString/RegLoadMUIStringW. Simple reading returns unclocalized string (I tested on RUS/ENG lang packs), while the latter return localized one.

The "FileType Name" Column. (Added in 14.1)  MC asks Windows for the filetype

C/C++ API call to SHGetFileInfoW returns that.


--- Code: --- 
  SHFILEINFOW fileInfo;
  UINT sizeFile = sizeof(fileInfo);
  UINT Flags = SHGFI_TYPENAME;
  if (!SHGetFileInfoW(szFilePath, 0, &fileInfo, sizeFile, Flags))
    return false;
 
  // FileType is set in
  fileInfo.szTypeName

--- End code ---
