Added multi-language support + settings + first README written!

You might notice quite some time logged on this one. And let me tell you, you would not believe just how bad a simple mistake can be. I’ll get to this on the end of the devlog, for now let me tell you about the stuff that I’ve added.

  • Added multi-language support. Now all text you see in the app is either dynamically generated based on the things you make, so that’s in your language, or use a key, which is then filled from the decently sized language tables I’ve written.
  • Added English support. Up until now, the entirety of the app has been written in czech, my native language. But since I’ve now added the multi-language support I of course chose english as the first one to add. Now personally I will probably NOT be adding any other languages, as I don’t want to use google translate for them, since I know how choppy it can come out and personally don’t know any other languages on a tier high-enough to trust myself with writing the tables right. If anyone out there would be willing to translate the app into a language they can speak, I’m down!
  • Added settings. Settings is actually a bit of a.. silly name to use here, as there’s only one setting there. Which is of course the language toggle.
  • Written the first README. Now first clarifies only as first for this project, as I’ve written a few of these before, but this project is the largest one I’ve ever made, so it took me quite a bit of time to write this one. I’ll be improving it further, as it’s incomplete so far.
    And that’s it I think.
    The awful mistake I’ve made was forgetting to merge the github branches before starting this part and made an absolutely ridiculous amount of issues by that, such as the app mixing old and new codes and other terrible stuff.
    Outside these, I think that’s all for this one. I’m expecting this to finally be one of the last devlogs before the first ship, as there’s not much blocking me now from shipping.

Seeing this project for the first time?

This project is a native windows app written in XAML and C#. It aims to make a software that would allow you to note down any pc components you might have lying around (which I doubt are too many people.. xd). The main reason why I am making it is 1) To make this app, as I would personally appreciate something like this and 2) To learn XAML and practice C#. This is my biggest project and I hope that it will help atleast someone one day. It is also my first time ever making any kind of app, instead of games/mods so I learn quite a bunch on this journey. If you find this project cool, or just want to stick with me on this journey be sure to hit the follow, ty!
