Language packs/internationalization

[PDG]

Just because Deniska told me to start this project here it is!

The Language pack / Internationalization thread :thumbup:

The idea is to share languagepacks and configs and maby Deniska will code in support for multiple languagefiles and configfiles in the next version of MapThis.


RULES:
For the current version of MapThis (MapThis0499_beta.rar) we will allow you guys to make changes to the config.txt and the help.txt file located in the [ mapViewer/system/ ] folder. Lets leve the pictures intact for now and wait a while. :D

Maby in the next version Deniska could code in support for multiple languagefiles, configs and pictures :)
for example: mapViewer/system/languagepack/swedish with subfolders souch as: /images /sounds /config and /help :D


As you all know both language features and diffrent config files could be great if you travel abroad. :p
Souch things as Speedlimits and various timezones etc.

i will try to translate the pacs to:
Swedish and Polish for starters and you guys can fill the rest up and ill edit the next thread in this section with links, just remember to PM me or so if i forget *Im human after all :D

This thread will be edited in time with links to diffrent LangUagepacks + Config files

Im off translating them to Swedish and Polish so you guys can concentrate on other languages :)

With some luck this thread could be pinned :D

[AlexRoxUrSox]

With luck...but you dont vouch for reliability...

[Airwave]

Hey PDG,map this is running but with no mainmenue.I will wait for receive my gps from sony.

1. Question to Configfile:can i set and translate the text easily or give it some errors in this program?

[PDG]

1. Question to Configfile:can i set and translate the text easily or give it some errors in this program?

No the Config and help file did not support Swedish ÄÅÖ letters so i just put in AAO instead, but thats the only *error* i got tampering with it ;)

The Help file is just like a Textfile showing up on the PSP so i dont think it will affect anything ;)

My edited config file works great too. as long as i edit all the text within the fencefields ;)

I receved your PM about translating it to German :thumbup:

[PDG]

With luck...but you dont vouch for reliability...

Well thanx dude ;)
I said "With luck this thread could be pinned"
Im not the Admin of this forum :p

Hence i can not pin threads :thumbup:

My Swedish translation is finished, soon ill proceed with the Polish and Airwave is going to translate his to German.

So this far we will soon have support in four languages if you don´t count in the russian pack that already exists with edited pictures in it ;)

We will wait with the picture translations untill we hear from Densika that he is going to implement multipla language support and some of my other suggestions to the MapThis project ;)

World domination starts in small steps. :rofl:

[Codaz]

PDG, you can already translate the whole program. This was a feature Deniska provided in .99

I'm sure about that.

[PDG]

PDG, you can already translate the whole program. This was a feature Deniska provided in .99

I'm sure about that.

Well im pikky and would love to have a "Multiple Language support feature" so Deniska can release his program to a wider audience :)

[Airwave]

Hi Deniska,i help PDG to translate for german.I´m from there ;)
now my request,i work on config but my idea is we need two speedwarning maybe citystreets and outbackstreets in german are mostly inner city 50 Km/h and outer village 100 km/h.But highway 130 Km/h.I think we can solut this with different sounds ;)

[sl1pkn07]

http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/attachment.php?attachmentid=20003&d=1186008699

the "Ñ" is impossible implementation for me :S

Deniska, the mapthis is coded in UTF8?

How would the program know which sound to play?
Implementing speed ranges would be confusing for most of the users, in my opinion.

I see that you changed a couple of characters in the fond definition..
Did you modify the corresponding font images?
Your zipfile does not seem to include them..

LOCAL_CHARSET=abcdefghijklmnñopqrstuvwxyz

[deniska]

No the Config and help file did not support SwedishÅÖ letters so i just put in AAO instead, but thats the only *error* i got tampering with it ;)

My edited config file works great too. as long as i edit all the text within the starfields ;)


I receved your PM about translating it to German :thumbup:

To make things clear, in the config file your can only translate all coments (everything starting with #)

You cannot change variable names (FAKEFEED, WARNINGDISTANCE, etc) since the program is looking for them.

MapThis uses image-based fonts for display of data. This means that you need to edit the 2 png images with font definitions to add or substitute your local letters. Then add your new letter definition to LOCAL_CHARSET variable, which defines the order in which the characters appear in the image files.
Thurthermore, to make complete internationalization pack, you'll need to re-assign the mapping in danzeff on-screen keyboard and change the graphics files, representing it.
download and check the russian localization pack for details. (it comes with one of the recent betas.. 4.99, i think)

[Airwave]

I think a small solution is maybe possible when can set two speedwarning limits.for example 50 and 100


right deniska with sounds is not so good.

We have speedlimits here in Sweden too :)
30, 50, 70, 90, and 120 Kmph.

I just set my config to 90 because i seldom have to go over it, but if i know i have to i can change it to 120 before i go :) But various speedlimits and soundfiles is a great idea ;)

Ooh i noticed i wrote stars (*) when i ment fences (#) My bad.. :p

and ofcourse the default text that isnt within # should be intact. what did you think of some of the multiple language, images, sound and config ideas ?
is it doable ?

yes:

http://sl1pkn07.no-ip.com/imagenes/PSP/mapthis/localfont_small.png

whats is the fonts used on bigfont.png and localfont_small.png?¿



this is a problem. change viewer codification to UTF8. ñ -> Ñ

my localization.txt its write in UTF8 (End of line UNIX)

ideal is write and reads mapthis and all text in UTF8 codification and type "end of line" in UNIX (WIN/DOS make strangle characters in the end of line in the mapthis)

russian localization.txt on UTF8 (http://sl1pkn07.no-ip.com/imagenes/mylocalization.png)

probe this pack (beta 2) (no working for me)


sorry my bad english

EDIT remove attached file

[PDG]

How would the program know which sound to play?

Maby by letting the user toggle speedlimits by adjusting it on the go :)
like jumping out to the main menu with all icons and set speedlimits as people set CPU speed ;)

and, soundfiles could be triggered from there too but one sound to rule them all would do to :)

[PDG]

I got a ton of PMs from people asking me to sending my .prx files and just to make things easier i made a Guide in falsh showing you guys "How To Do It Your Selve" :)
There might be compability issues between diffrent firmware and custom version that i don't know about so just extract them yourselve :D

Hey PDG can you send me this cleanimage to?

The font are tahoma?Cool menuebuttons do you have;)Swedish...

I need that to for translate ;)

Ihope the sonygps is coming soon.i cant wait longer for test it.

[Airwave]

oh one question more...how can i use the icons?Is that only work with geodatas?Or is it for use POIs.How can i do to set the icons?

[deniska]

I assume that you are talking about the POI icons.
The icons in the POI list menu are currently driven by catch phrases. i.e. the route icon is displayed if there is a word "route" or "way" in the file name.

The POI icons on the map screen can be linked to any image in the map's directory with "!IMAGE" tag:
Here is an example of image definition in POI file.
#
!IMAGE:waypoint.png,
!WAYPOINT

Adress lookup - takes a mailing address and returns the gps coordinates for that address..if the address is in fact found - it displays it on screen.

Reverse lookup - tries to match current gps coordinates to the closest street address/intersection and return the address

I don't speak czech language, so it's hard for me to understand the problem.
Can you also post the text from the POI/waypoint file? This way we'll have better chances of understanding the problem...

[Waltrock]

It would be nice if the "german" team would integrate me in the localization.

Have several skills with PS, english to german translation and have generated some voice-prompts which are tested right now by two other users. For me they work fine ;)

So please PN me about you work, so we do not have to make the same work several times ;)

[PDG]

Mystheryman and Waltrock try to team up and give me a PM or so when i know wich one of you does what and ill add your names in the first post so everyone can see what you guys are doing and by this minimize the problem of several people starting the same projects all over :)

Mystheryman: Because you posted a Vioceproject first i added you to the first Faq Post on page one on this thread.

i'm working on localization + Help + Config archives

Thanks to: Harpik (Graphics), Wallashc and "?" (Traslation) and me :P (Adapter and "coder")

For MapThis v0.5

NOTE: i need Fonts for make localfont and bigfont images and danzeff blank images

[Airwave]

Hey PDG here are the configfile and the helpfile plus menuebuttons for german user ;)




:thumbup: i hope i havn`t so much errors ;)

[Waltrock]

This for sharing some work...

Here's my version, done yesterday...

[Waltrock]

I've got a small question....

The localisationfile... if you comment out the variables STANDARD_LETTERS, CAPITAL_LETTERS etc. for the danzef-keyboard, do mapThis takes the standard values or do I have to define them?

[deniska]

I've got a small question....

The localisationfile... if you comment out the variables STANDARD_LETTERS, CAPITAL_LETTERS etc. for the danzef-keyboard, do mapThis takes the standard values or do I have to define them?

It should default to standard "danzef" values..
define anly the variables that are different..

[Waltrock]

Thanks deniska, i'll give it a try this evening.

[Mystheryman]

@ the two german's Airwave and Waltrock.
Why don't you write "Lese GPS-Daten vom Empfänger"? I think it sounds a little bit better.

But only my opinion - nice work at all. I'll try this weekend. Too much work ...

[Waltrock]

well, I tried it out, but this word just doesn't fit in the square ;)

So, hold on guys, i'll release now a beta-version of the german language-pack. You want to know what is in it? Just read:

- german male voice promts
- german help.txt
- german CONFIG.txt
- german translation.txt
- german menu
- german sounds.txt for GMDL

whats currently don't work:
- german letters: Ä, Ö, Ü, ß
- editing german CONFIG.txt "in-game"

whats coming up:
- much more voices (especially from Users fritzgerald, Mysteryman and me)
- much more voice-samples for different traffic-situations
- german splashscreen

Why I want to release this version right now? - I want to test this editings on so much PSPs we can reach here... The voice-samples are tested by fritzgerald and bolemichel, so I'm sure that they will work everywhere.

I hope you enjoy this languagepack - now to my questions:

1) Deniska, would you like to have a look at my translation.txt and the bigfonts? I donno why I get scary letters when there is a Ä, Ö or Ü in the POI-text

2) And, additionally, is there a limitation how far I can scroll down in the CONFIG.txt "in-game"? Because I cannot get to last line to edit it. If not, please have a look at it if you have some time.

You'll find a Liesmich.txt in the archive how to install that pack.

Thats quite all from me for this weekend. Feel free to PM me...


Greeting from Germany!

[Airwave]

Okey Waltrock i`ll looking for your work;)You have two persons more than me ;) good luck.

but have you an idee whats up with the localization.text?is it for deniska?to send him?

Update: good work waltrock ;) nice sounds,it sounds like rallycopilot ;) hehe

Great work Waltrock :thumbup:
It runs good and looks very nice.

But you have forgotten to change the samplerate in the male voice from 48000khz to 44100khz.

I have a lot of questions to you, you have pm.

greetings from fritzgerald

[deniska]

1) Deniska, would you like to have a look at my translation.txt and the bigfonts? I donno why I get scary letters when there is a Ä, Ö or Ü in the POI-text

2) And, additionally, is there a limitation how far I can scroll down in the CONFIG.txt "in-game"? Because I cannot get to last line to edit it. If not, please have a look at it if you have some time.


Greeting from Germany!

1) some of the problems may arise from missing
localfont_small.png file (you have to define new symbols for small font too)

2) You probably want to have ~15 blank lines at the end of the file.. Make sure that total number of lines does not exceed 100

[Waltrock]

Thanks for answer!


1) some of the problems may arise from missing

I will have a look at it. It's quite difficult for me to understand how this all works together but I will get it ;)


2) You probably want to have ~15 blank lines at the end of the file.. Make sure that total number of lines does not exceed 100

OKay, maximum of 100 lines exeeded. I will try to kill some lines to get the file shorter! Thanks!

" Добавление POI " and " Поиск POI " seems to me was better (more correct) than " Добавить маркер"....
Address Reverse - " Ближайший Адрес" or " Поиск ближайшего адреса".. i think so...
Tnx..:)

[moonrise]

coach777, can you tell difference between "Adress Look Up" and "Adress Reverse"?
becouse i have't GPS module and i use this programm only for map :rolleyes:

"Adress Look Up" - this is " Поиск улицы по карте по введенным c клавиатуры буквам "
"Adress Reverse" - this is " Поиск ближайшего адреса (из базы адресов) относительно текущей точки местоположения"

True?

Right, but you should have a geodata file in the same _map directory. You can create it from file POI using GMDL. Start GMDL, then GEODATA ->POI TO DAT (use settings for Russia)
The radius of action for "Address Reverse" ~160 m

I think that official variant is better. When you impose color, icons vary also (I mean "hide panel"- the Cross not red, etc.)
However it's possible to make change of color every month, like themes on PSP :)

official variant is better. It's right

if men use green them in PSP, him liked not blue them :)

and official menu more informative, but it's more мotley

Second pack (Mono) was made for people, who liked use PSP at night.

Guys,

good stuff, but why would not you attach your files directly to your forum messages instead of linking them to file-sharing services, where they dissapear after a few weeks?
You should be able to attach up to 115.37 MB of zip files, which should be enough for most of the stuff you do.. (or is this quota just for me??, anyway check "advanced" options and let me know)

OKE, almost done with the help file. Just one thing I don't understand what it means. "ALL FORMS SCREENS" If someone can explain it to me so I can finish and post the dutch helpfile. Thanks.

Because we don't hear anything from Brammy, I tought, let's translate te config file to Dutch myself. So here it is. I'm working on the help file too.

Arent Dutch and German kinda similar ?
Ill post the Dutch info in the first post anyways :thumbup:

Similar, yes, the same, no! :P

Euh Nieko ik denk niet dat er in de splashscreen woorden staan die aaneen moeten worden geschreven. Als jij denkt van wel, zeg me dan eens welke. De CONFIG tekst ben ik nu aan het nakijken.

[philiphili]

The CONFIG file is now correct I think. DMG could you change the CONFIG file on the first page with the corrected one please. Here is the Dutch helpfile too. Only the word "FORMS" isn't translated, Sorry.

[Nieko]

The CONFIG file is now correct I think.

What do you mean by a complete dutch RAR/ZIP file with everything in it? Does it mean the program too or just the translated stuff? The translation is not yet complete. Just a few minor things. Or do you want the Readme text also translated?

[PDG]

OK These are the definitive versions of the dutch translations.

First post updated with the new info :thumbup:

[AlbertoZ]

Hi all,

I made an italian translation for

- help.txt
- config.txt

find it attached. I avoided italian accented letters
like à, è etc. Instead I replaced them with a', e' etc..
Let me know if someone find bugs/errors.

PS: the config.txt is the one WORKING FOR THE
LATEST NIEKO MODIFICATION of mapthis
(it's the version I currently have installed:
http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/sho...09&page=37#368.)


Now I'd like to go on with the modifications to the menubuttons,
but I do not have photoshop, I've gimp.
Anyone can point me on how to use/convert .psd
to gimp? or should I really go to photoshop for
this task :-( ???

cheers,

Alberto

[philiphili]

Hi AlbertoZ, welcome to the club of translators :)
Maybe You can use this little program, it's an image convertor and imports and exports pdf files and is totaly free. http://www.etrusoft.com/graphic-converter/
Maybe instead of Gimp you can use Paint.NET http://www.getpaint.net/download.html and is also free
Good luck

[AlbertoZ]

Hi philiphili, it's nice to be able to contribute to this wonderful software!

Here is my italian translation of menubuttons.png
+ the gimp file with the levels of text. As you can see I'm
not really a professional in graphic but the result is, I think, decent (at least it shows up quite nicely on my PSP).

Now I'd like to go to an italian translation of the sounds.
Female voice, of course :-), using "festival" voice syntheziser.

Cheers,

AlbertoZ

[philiphili]

Hi everyone I'm back. Been busy translating the readme text to dutch also. About 75% done right now so in a couple of days it will be finished.
Now I have a question. Is it possible to translate the program to dutch too. For example "PLEASE WAIT WHILE THE MAP IS LOADING". Those things I mean. Can it be done without programming because I'm not a programmer. Please let me know.

Thanx

[Nieko]

It can, take a look at mapViewer_v05.rar/mapViewer_v05/localization_packs/russian_pack/localization.txt. You could even throw in the few Dutch letters that have accents.

[AlbertoZ]

Hi Nieko,

in the russian localization pack I can see a "localization.txt" + the various .png for the letters.
In my case (italian) I do not have change the .png.

- Is it just matter of translating localization.txt and
placing in the "system" folder of mapthis?

cheers,

AlbertoZ

[AlbertoZ]

- Is it just matter of translating localization.txt and

Yep, I tried it. no recompilation needed, great.

I added to the italian localization pack the
"localization.txt". So, at the moment the ita pack has:

- menubuttons.png
- localization.txt
- help.txt
- config.txt

plus the graphical gimp templates.
All these files needs to be placed to the system folder of mapthis.

If someone tests it please report errors/bugs..

Next days I'll try to synthesize the .mp3 messages
in italian.

cheers

Yes

[philiphili]

Hi everyone, here is the Dutch Language pack, included: - Config,
- splashscreen
- help
- localization
- menubuttons
- LeesMij (ReadMe txt translated to dutch manually so nu funny Babelfish,Systran text ) The few things not translated are the sound files, don't know how to for the moment.
Maybe I will stumble upon something one of these days.
So go to the mapviewer file on your PSP overwrite all the English files in the system map with the ones provided in the dutch pack except the LeesMij. Check if the localization file is in you system map and you should have MapThis in dutch from now on.
Still have questions, ask me.

Enjoy

Hallo iedereen, hier is het Nederlandstalig pakket met hierin:- Config
- splashscreen
- help
- localisation
- menuknoppen en LeesMij (Dit is de ReadMe tekst manueel vertaalt naar het Nederlands
dus geen rare Babelfish of Systran vertaalde toestanden). De enige dingen die niet vertaald, zijn de geluidsbestanden omdat ik momenteel nog niet weet hoe ik ze moet vertalen.
Misschien vindt ik nog wel een manier één dezer dagen.
Dus ga naar het mapViewer bestand in jouw PSP, overschrijf al de originele Engelse bestanden in de system map met de bestanden die zich in de dutch_pack bevinden uitgezonderd de LeesMij. Controleer of het localization bestand zeker mee in je system map zit en je zou vanaf nu MapThis Nederlandstalig moeten hebben.
Nog vragen laat het me weten.

Veel plezier

[philiphili]

An update for the v0.505 Beta. Only minor changes to config and to localization, the rest is the same as the previous pack.

[AlbertoZ]

Hi all,

except for the readme.txt I think everything is ready
for the Italian localization pack for MapThis! v 0.501:

menubuttons.png
splashscreen.png
config.txt
help.txt
localization.txt

to be put in /system

Sound files:

message001.mp3
...
message010.mp3

to be put in /system/sounds.

Synthetic voice is not really optimum (but it's funny
to hear a strange voice ;) at least it's a starting point. )
In the zip file there is a readme_ita.txt

Have fun ;)

AlbertoZ

[Nieko]

Can't you get someone with a nice voice to record it for you? Both a male and female pack would be nice :).

Its really easy AlbertoZ, just pick up a chick from a Cafe or so simply by saying:



Ciao bella!
Voi vengono sopra al mio posto e lascilo registrare la vostra voce dolce per un progetto di GPS forse?
La vostra voce heavenly sarà sentita dai centinaia dei nerds usando MapThis per le loro unità di PSP :)

Ed a proposito, Pendragon dice ciao!


Translation:
Hello beautiful
Would you come over to my place and let me record your sweet voice for a GPS project perhaps?
Your heavenly voice will be heard by hundreds of nerds using MapThis for their PSP units :)
And by the way, Pendragon says hi!


That would do the trick :thumbup:
Ps. It does not matter if she is good looking, its just her voice we want! ^^ *Evil grinning* :D
Ds.

[Nieko]

AlbertoZ: you just want her to say in one go "head north, head northeast, head east, turn left", etc., but then in Italian of course :P.

You can split up the audio file yourself then.

[AlbertoZ]

Ciao bella!
Voi vengono sopra al mio posto e lascilo registrare la vostra voce dolce per un progetto di GPS forse?

:rofl: , with such an invitation the only thing you could expect is a kick in the ass ... :)
since it can be understood in "several ways" ...
I like automatic translators, so funny!!!

@Nieko: Eventually yes, I could record some male and female voice just need some time to find someone with a nice voice ...

Cheers,

Alberto

[philiphili]

Hi everyone, finally managed to translate the voice commands to dutch. For now it's only a nice female voice. Maybe a male voice will follow later on. Everything is included in the zipfile. If I made a mistake let me know. I shall fix it ASAP. The dutch pack will be available tommorow again.

[philiphili]

I almost finished the Portuguese-brazilian language pack, but I'm having a hard time with the local_charset

In localization.txt:

LOCAL_CHARSET=ÀÁÂÃÄŨÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖ×ØÙÚÛÜÝÞß


and my bigfont.png:
http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/1464/bigfontpq0.th.png (http://img407.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bigfontpq0.png)

Of course the colorfull background is just to show that the fonts are in the correct size, they are ommited in the original file.

The problem is when I have a word like:

"getúlio"
"joão"
"adélia"

Mapthis shows:

"getã lio"
"joã o"
"adã lia"


that is for all local_charset charactes. Anyone knows a solution?

[Nieko]

It seems like you have saved the localization.txt using Unicode encoding. Try e.g. latin1 or Win1252.

[thomas.k]

It seems like you have saved the localization.txt using Unicode encoding. Try e.g. latin1 or Win1252.

The localization file was saved in Latin1, but I've tried all encodings none worked... I'll keep trying to find a solution
