EasyFind in Spanish: Files and Manual Installation Steps

Hi everyone,

I’m happy to share a complete Spanish localization I created for the EasyFind utility. I have tested these files on macOS, and they function correctly, translating the main interface, pop-ups, and the Services menu.

I am contributing this for two main reasons:

  1. To offer an immediate solution for Spanish-speaking users.

  2. To encourage the DEVONtechnologies team to integrate this es.lproj contribution into an official update.

1. Spanish Localization Files

The three translated .strings files are available in the GitHub Gist link below:

(The Gist contains: Localizable.strings, bundle.strings, and ServicesMenu.strings)

2. Manual Installation Guide

If you wish to use EasyFind in Spanish immediately, please follow these steps:

  1. Access Package Contents:

    • Locate EasyFind.app in your /Applications folder.

    • Right-click and select Show Package Contents.

    • Navigate to: Contents/Resources/

  2. Install the Files:

    • Create a new folder inside the Resources directory and name it exactly: es.lproj

    • Copy and paste the content of the three translated files from the Gist into new files named Localizable.strings, bundle.strings, and ServicesMenu.strings inside the es.lproj folder.

  3. Force System Cache Refresh (Crucial Step):

    • Close EasyFind completely (Cmd+Q).

    • Open the Terminal app.

    • Run the following command to clear the application cache (necessary for macOS to recognize the new language):

    Bash

    "/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister" -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

  4. Restart your Mac.

  5. Launch EasyFind: The application should now launch automatically in Spanish.

I hope this helps the community! Thank you, DEVONtechnologies, for considering this contribution.

Best regards,
