Q: What's the "Computer ID"? Where could I find it?
A: IconInvader will calculate a characteristic code called "Computer ID" according to your computer hardware. The Computer ID  is something like "ZQHOUIOK-XFTNCFES-XAVVEJVE-XZSHV1". If you have not registered your copy, there will pop up a registration dialog every time you start IconInvader. And you can call out the registration dialog by pressing the "Register" button in the main dialog too. You could find your Computer ID in the registration dialog by pressing the "Enter Registration Code..." button..
 
Q: What's the "Language File"? What should I do if I want to translate it to my own language?
A: IconInvader has the ability of multi-languages support. But it doesn't contain all the languages in the main program. There is a sub-folder named "language" in the installation folder of IconInvader (the default folder is "C:\Program Files\ByteBase\IconInvader"). All the available languages IconInvader can use are all in this folder.
If you want to make your own language file, please do that as follows:
1. in the "language" folder create a new text file named "[LANGUAGE_NAME].ini"
   Here [LANGUAGE_NAME] is your native language name. You can name it at will as long as it is not the same with the name of existing language files. 
2. copy all the contents of "english.ini" to the new file created in step 1.
  
3. translate the contents of "[LANGUAGE_NAME].ini" line by line.
   Every line has the following format:
     a. # comment string
     b. [section_name]
     c. name=value
     d. name="value"
   Format a is a comment string, you need not to translate them. Of course it is better you translate them too, so that people who are of the same native language with you can read them easily.
   Format b is the section name, you should NOT translate these strings!
   Format c and d contain the strings you need to translate. We will give some examples on how to do that.  For format c, such as the string Translator=ByteBase, you need to replace the string  "ByteBase" with your own name. For format d, such as string ChangeOptionGroupCaption="Change Option", you need to replace "Change Option" on the right of equal sign with your native language string.
   We must note that "ANY STRING ON THE LEFT OF EQUAL SIGN SHOULD NOT BE TRANSLATED!", or these strings will not work correctly!
   We will be much appreciated if you could translate the language file to your own native language. So many more people could share your fruits! In a return we will mail you a license key for free and in our website we will  express our thanks to you too. If you have translated the language file, please send it to us. Of course you need  to mail us your computer ID (refer to "FAQ: Computer ID"  ) together. Please refer to  "How to register".
