Dummy question, I know :-)

i uploaded a newer version of Translator

this is still just a preview, even it would do most of the planed tasks.

Features (so far)
* form based editing of message.properties files
* translation of filebased skins
* storing notes for default skins
* store whether a skin should be translated
* treeView of source files including highlighting of status
* progress bar (jsut for skins)
* basic version control

Translator First Draft

matthias — Sun, 04 Apr 2004 08:57:06 GMT

(this messages was also posted on the [antville-dev] mailling list. so you may track the discussion there.

i uploaded a first version of a future antville translator application. the goal is to provide an easy to use web interface for translators, so they don't have to mess around with .properties and .skin files.

Download:
translator_20040404 (application/x-zip-compressed, 158 KB)
Update: (incl. skin translation)
translator_20040403b (application/x-zip-compressed, 161 KB)

Screenshot:

please don't check the code - it's a mess so far. but you may test it to get a better idea of what i'm working on.

WHAT I HAVE DONE SO FAR:

-->
i started to change the directory and filename structure. (this is a proposal)

instead of l10n we could also name this "localzations" or "lang" or "languages" or "translations"

every directory within l10n that matches ab || ab-AB(C) will be detected as a new language.



app/        --> the = apps/antville most of the time

app/l10n        --> the localizations

app/l10n/en        --> a two digit language code

app/l10n/en-US   --> which may be followed by a country code

app/l10n/en/messages.properties  --> language property files always have the suffix .properties

app/l10n/en/skindescriptions.properties  --> there may be more than one language.properties file

app/l10n/en/admin.properties

app/l10n/en/skins  --> skins may also be translated

app/l10n/en/skins/Story  --> prototype name

app/l10n/en/skins/Story/edit.skin  --> skin file

-->
as michi proposed i did start to split up the messages files and renamed them to always use .properties as the extension. the advantages are obvious:

* messages.en & co don't just contain messages any more
* files become more handy and readable
* there is the possibility of "extensions" properties files
* your editor will recognize .properties files by it's extension

-->
i also moved the skin files to the localization directory

* i would propose to move .skin files away from code (as gobble does)
* with res.skinpath it's very easy to switch between language versions, and to collect the right skins (you don't need to)

TO DO:
-->
there is no support for skin translation yet!

-->
i'm thinking about an TranslationItem prototype, which would keep track of changes and updates, which can't be stored within the files. (creator, modifier, accepted, versions, ... )

Translation errors

translations — Thu, 14 Aug 2003 14:38:23 GMT

I looked at the English to Italian translation but there are some errors like 'il directory' or 'sceglia'

winson — Thu, 24 Jul 2003 09:48:34 GMT

Hi,

I write following code:

In message.zh: error.test = "someChineseWords"

and

in hac: res.debug(getMessage("error","test"));

It doesn't show Chinese words, some secret code. But if in .hac,

res.debug("someChineseWords");

It shows well...

Maybe getMessage cannot detect encoding...

Cannot load Chinese message i n UTF-8!!

winson — Fri, 18 Jul 2003 15:47:12 GMT

Hi,

I would like to translate antville into Chinese. I translate some .skin files and message file. I create a message.zh file and use UTF-8 encoding.

It loads .skin files well, but cannot read message.zh file.

I use AntClick package and runs under Windows 2000 box.

antville-messages: Anrede ohne du

hermannluehrs — Thu, 19 Sep 2002 13:09:46 GMT

Hier der Vorschlag, "Du-Anreden" bei den antville-messages zu vermeiden. Weil das in der sandbox nicht richtig dargestellt wird folgt hier das Ganze als Word-Dokument:
antvilleGermanNo_du (application/msword, 32 KB)
und als Textfile (mit unix-linebreaks)
antvilleGermanNo_du.txt (text/plain, 9 KB)

Re: antville-messages: Anrede ohne du

hns — Fri, 20 Sep 2002 09:52:37 GMT

Ich finde das du ok. MS-Word-Dokumente kann ich übrigens nicht öffnen, am besten sind reine Text-Files.
