Subject: Language problem in Fritz 7

Author: Erik Robertsson

There seems to be a problem with installing the latest Fritz 7 update.
When I install it, it extracts new language files (located in Fritz7\Messages).
The problem is that the english translation of frame.strings is in german.

After failing I couple installations I downloaded a CAB-file viewer and tried
extract the english language files manually. I then discovered that the english
frame.strings in the setup actually is in german.

What to do? Translate the program myself?

After further investigation I figured out that the message files in the setup of
the latest playchess.com free client is ok (i.e. the Fritz 8 playchess GUI), so
I copied it from there into the Fritz 7 folder. After removing 4 new strings
that apparently has been added after the latest Fritz 7 update, voila... I have
a working english installation of Fritz 7.

Anyway... I post this here to maybe help someone avoid this problem.

Best regards
/Erik
