Language Plugin

[MixMan]

Hello Madcat

Good work....I will implement in the Master Excel sheet.
Would you say that a whole new skin has to made before Hebrew looks OK with the L2R "demand"

As you have seen, I have made many ThemePacks for the BaseSkin. Why am I doing this ? It's fun to see what can be done and finding out the possibilities and the limitations for the skin engine.
Call me crazy, but I'm doing this while laying in the sofa and watching a movie in the evening. I'm a very curious person.

I think that one GBPVR user have made a skin for Hebrew, but he didn't share it with the community. This made me curious to see what i takes to make a Theme for it to look OK in Hebrew.

There is not much feedback on the translations or the BaseSkin/Themes, but I think a lot of people are using them.

I also noticed some texts that I could not see the source in the language XL file (e.g. "Sunny" in the weather, or "Photo Album" and all related buttons for the new internal photo viewer).

I had the same problem when updating the dutch language .xml.
I manually entered the strings in the xml file, make sure you use capitals where capitals are used, (in my case I overlooked that one and it just didn't work) and "Photo album" should be translated as aspected.

Hello Madcat

Good work....

Thanks. It's far from finished.

For sure. If you asked me, to make it look real, all the sub-menus have to be on the right side, like you did with the main menu. And then there are other issues, like placement of strings on the screen (I will get some screen dumps tonight)

Same here. That's why (and how) I got this part working. On the other hand, I will not use it in the long run, cause A) the WAF is native English, not Hebrew, B) currently residing in Canada, so all info in guides, is in English (and I don't use Hebrew in file names, folders, etc).

Please always tranlate in the Excel sheet.
Generate the Language.xml file with the Macro in the Excel sheet.
Problems with importing national characters to the Excel sheet is "common"

I will put some "life" into the Language Plugin again.

Very nice
Please translate in the Excel sheet and generate the XML file with the Macro in the Excel file. It is much easier to "maintain" when I add strings to the Excel sheet.

Mixman is this for europe and asia end users, don't tell me this is for USA?

It has a column as well. That fixes the rest of the english speaking world's facination with the letter "u" and "e" in places that are not necessary.

Please noted that, I added THEMES MANAGER PLUGIN translation because the original excel file has no string of "Theme"
and the second one is I added string of "Today" under WEATHER PLUGIN

is there any problem ?

[MixMan]

No, no problem at all. Add the strings you want to.
I will rearrange them when I combine and insert the transllations for all other countries. (Boring cut and paste, but needs to be done)

[adrianmak]

excel file and exported xml file included.

p.s. two new strings are added
String "Today" for Weather plugin and
String "Themes" for Theme manager plugin of BaseSkin
