GenoPro can generate reports describing your genealogy data, ready for publishing on a web site (the narrative report) or to prepare a booklet (the descendants report).   However, the skins that come with the installation kit are limited to English only.   Volunteers have been making different translations of the dictionary file, allowing to generate reports in other languages as well.

The page you are currently viewing is used to link to the latest versions of the GenoPro Flemish (NL-BE) skin files.   Although Dutch (NL-NL) and Flemish (NL-BE) are both rather similar, some local variants have lead to the creation of a separate version.   You will also find some utilities that may be of assistance when dealing with GenoMaps or XML files.

(1) Best use the "Save target as ..." option to download the file. I had to zip some of the kits because my web server does not like case mixes nor spaces in file names.  The "FPS" prefix stands for "Floating Point Services", the name of my software services company, and was only added to differentiate this tool from others that might carry the same name somewhere else on the Internet.  All development has been done on a Vista system running the latest updates of the operating system and anti-virus protection.

To use this (NL-BE) variant of the dictionary file please proceed as described in the help section on Report translation.   Basically you will have to go through following steps:

Step 1: Start GenoPro.  Open your .gno file.  Select "Tools / Generate Report".  In the "Report Skin / Skin Name" frame, select the "English Narrative Report ..." skin and click on the [New Skin] button.  This will create a new sub-folder C:\Program Files\GenoPro\Skins\Customized English Narrative Report
Step 2: Rename the folder "Customized English Narrative Report" into something meaningful like "Customized Flemish Report".
Step 3: Download the Dictionary.xml file from this site and store it in the folder you renamed in step 2.
Step 4: GenoPro will now list an additional skin with the name of the folder you used in step 2.  Select this one to generate your local language version.

To generate a local version of the descendants report repeat the steps mentioned above, but in Step 1, in the "Report Skin / Skin Name" frame, select the "Descendants Report ..." skin.  The same dictionary.xml file can be used for both the narrative and descendants report skins but must be copied to both sub-folders.

If you have any remarks, suggestions or questions, please post a note in the GenoPro support sub-forum that is dedicated to Nederlands (with its Dutch and Flemish variants).   This is also the location where I will be announcing and uploading a copy of the latest versions I have prepared.


xmldiff.zip

This ZIP file contains a utility called "FPS XMLdiff.exe", a tool I wrote to compare two versions of the dictionary.xml file GenoPro uses.  The screen interface allows you to visualize matches, additions, removals and changes from one version to the other.  It also contains a hard-copy function (see File/Save report) that produces a text file with the display options you selected.

Note 1: Comments are ignored and will neither be displayed nor compared.

Note 2: The XML tags are qualified and sorted prior to comparison. The order in which they appear on the screen or in the saved report might be different from the order in the XML file.


selectgenomaps.zip

This ZIP file contains a utility called "FPS SelectGenoMaps.exe", a tool I wrote to extract one or more GenoMaps from a GenoGram.  The screen interface consists of four tabs:

  • Tab 1 -- Reminds you about how to generate the GEDCOM file which is used for the actual extract
  • Tab 2 -- Is used to specify the input GEDCOM file and to select the GenoMaps
  • Tab 3 -- Is used to specify the output GEDCOM file (default = input file name + "(Select)" suffix)
  • Tab 4 -- Reminds you about opening (not importing) the GEDCOM file with GenoPro afterwards
