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

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

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.

Yes

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

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

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

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

Cheers,AlbertoZ

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 sarÃ* sentita dai centinaia dei nerds usando MapThis per le loro unitÃ* 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*
Ds.

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.
