Language packs/internationalization

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.

Quote:

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

No the Config and help file did not support Swedish Ã„Ã…Ã– 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 ;)

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 donÂ´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:

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 :)

Hi Deniska,i help PDG to translate for german.IÂ´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 ;)

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..

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)

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 ?

http://sl1pkn07.no-ip.com/imagenes/P...font_small.png

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

this is a problem. change viewer codification to UTF8. ÃƒÂ± -> Ã‘

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

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

sorry my bad english

EDIT remove attached file

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 :)

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

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?
August 9th, 2007, 01:58
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...
