How to use Dism-Multi-language with Dism++

Updated · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data

Dism-Multi-language is the GitHub repository that stores the resource files used to translate Dism++, a Windows maintenance tool. It also includes Data.xml, a file of cleanup and optimization rules. This guide explains what the repository contains, how to get a copy, and how to use it if you want Dism++ in a language other than Simplified Chinese.

Quick start

  1. 1Read the README. Open the repository page and check what the files are for before you download anything.
  2. 2Clone the repository. Run the Git clone command from the README to copy the files to your computer.
  3. 3Find your language. Open the Languages folder and locate the XML file for your language code, such as ja.xml or de.xml.
  4. 4Compare with English. Open en.xml alongside your file to see the same entries in English.
  5. 5Check the contributors. Use the README table to see who has worked on your language before you edit it.
  6. 6Report problems. Use the repository's GitHub issues to report bugs or translation errors.

What is in the Dism-Multi-language repository?

The README describes the repository as Dism++ resource files for supporting translation to various languages. The default development language is Simplified Chinese.

The repository has three main parts: a Languages folder with translation files for the Dism++ interface, a Data.xml file that is a Dism++ rules file for cleanup and optimization, and a www.chuyu.me folder with language files for the Dism++ website and help documentation.

  • Languages folder: files such as en.xml, de.xml, fr.xml, ja.xml and zh-Hant.xml, with a table of contributors for each.
  • Data.xml: cleanup and optimization rules used by Dism++.
  • www.chuyu.me folder: language files for the official Dism++ website and help documentation.

Get a copy of the repository

The README gives one install command: cloning the repository with Git. Run it in the folder where you want the files to live.

git clone https://github.com/Chuyu-Team/Dism-Multi-language

Choose a language file

Each language is one XML file named with a language code, such as ja.xml for Japanese or ko.xml for Korean. The Languages table in the README lists the available languages. Some languages have more than one contributor, and the table shows who worked on each file.

Note that the README does not explain how to load a language file into Dism++. Check the Dism++ project itself or its documentation for that step.

  • Bulgarian (bg.xml), Czech (cs.xml), German (de.xml), English (en.xml), Spanish (es.xml), French (fr.xml).
  • Hungarian (hu.xml), Italian (it.xml), Japanese (ja.xml), Korean (ko.xml), Polish (pl-PL.xml), Portuguese (pt.xml).
  • Russian (ru.xml), Turkish (tr.xml), Chinese Simplified (zh-Hans.xml), Chinese Traditional (zh-Hant.xml).

Check or improve a translation

If you translate or review text, open the XML file for your language and compare it with the English file, en.xml. The README lists contributors for each language, so you can see who has already worked on a file before you change it.

The README does not describe a contribution process. Review the repository's files and any contribution guidance it links to before sending changes.

Report a bug or translation problem

The repository is also a place for bug reports about Dism++ and its translations. The README does not describe a bug reporting process, so check the repository's issue page on GitHub for how to file a report.

What people use it for

  • Finding the Japanese, Korean or German interface text for Dism++.
  • Reviewing or correcting an existing translation file.
  • Reading Data.xml to see which cleanup and optimization rules Dism++ uses.
  • Reporting a translation error or Dism++ bug to the maintainers.

Frequently asked questions

Is Dism-Multi-language a standalone Windows program?

No. The README describes resource files and a rules file, not a complete app download. This repository alone may not run the tool, so you need Dism++ itself to use these files.

How do I install Dism-Multi-language?

The README gives one command: git clone https://github.com/Chuyu-Team/Dism-Multi-language. It does not list other install steps or prerequisites.

Is Dism-Multi-language free to use?

The repository is licensed under MIT. Check the license file in the repository for the full terms before you reuse the files.

Which languages does Dism++ support through these files?

The README lists Bulgarian, Czech, German, English, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, and Chinese Simplified and Traditional. Each has its own XML file.

What are the alternatives to Dism++?

The README does not compare Dism++ with other tools. Projects often compared with it include BleachBit, CCleaner and Windows Disk Cleanup, but these are separate tools with different features.

Why is there no setup guide in this repository?

The README is short and mainly lists translation files and contributors. Setup and usage instructions for Dism++ are not included in this repository.

Our verdict

Use this repository if you want Dism++ in a language other than Simplified Chinese, or if you want to check or improve a translation. Do not pick it if you need a ready-to-run program or step-by-step setup instructions, because the README covers only resource files and a single clone command. For a general Windows cleanup tool, compare other options such as BleachBit, CCleaner or Windows Disk Cleanup.
