Slovak

[Pepo]

I'm slowly beginning with Slovak (Slovensky, 1052, SKY) translation.

But: I've immediately faced one problem: code page. Pure ANSI is for Slovak language not sufficient.
UTF8 or ...? Texts like "Zvyšný čas" ("Time Left") displays like "ZvyšnĂ˝ Ä..." (like if it were displayed as written in Eastern Europe (1250) code page).

     

OK, I've written the file in Central European (1250) codepage - now BT displays it just fine.
So, Fred, you can expect the Slovak translation in a couple of weeks

Ok nice to have one more language on board. See you when it's finished.

Very slowly, as I see now...

I've recovered my BoincTasks_SKY-0.42.btlang, updated it to BoincTasks_SKY-0.87.btlang (now I estimate it to be up to 30% done) and will, again slowly , continue with its translation.

Turned out somewhat more than a couple of weeks......
Added to V 0.88

The complete main interface is finished (0.88 ready), up to a handful of some dialogs.

Apparently as the single lines' length differ from english original and tab characters are used to line-up the right part, we probably have to specify some method to include different numbers of tab chars in different translations?? (German text does line-up, Polish not completely, Spanish nearly, the Romanian possibly looks even worse than the Slovak one.)

(Who understands the language, never mind some incorrect characters - I've no idea why the text did not paste correctly, but it is displayed just fine in BT.)

I changed the task and project properties. You can remove all the %09 tabs. The columns are now properly aligned.

My bad, I forgot there already were such tab characters and did not get the idea what are they for.

The new way doesn't use tabs, as tabs are not 100% reliable. And 9 is the ASCII tab character, from the teletype.

In the mean time, I was at least able to align the right column correctly.

Most of the Task & Project properties (except the initial <Computer>   </> line) contain only phrases, just the six disk-related lines (<Disk*****>    </>) contain phrases terminated with colon. Should we discard the disk's colons to unify all lines?

[Pepo]

In the Graphic dialog, the translated equivalents of <EmptyComputer> and <EmptyProject> are probably displayed with wrong encoding - some characters in the graphic area are displayed incorrectly. All other controls in the dialogs display correct translations.

After setting <GroupCodePage> <Page> ... correctly, the two strings are already displayed correctly.

Independent from this, the Messages tab's initial <StatusSelectOne> string is displayed with wrong encoding. Also the translated strings in Notices tab are displayed with wrong encoding.

I wished for UNICODE.

StatusSelectOne I made a small changed, maybe the does it.

For the notices, go to: C:\Program Files\eFMer\BoincTasks\html

Try changing the encoding: charset=windows-1252.
This may help. You need the restart BT for the template to be used again or to select another computer with a different notices text.

You can use this as well: C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\eFMer\BoincTasks\html
And change the notices.html file itself, easy for checking but not permanent.

In English I already removed them.

That would for sure solve a lot...
BTW, I'm possibly mixing reports from two different computers each displaying something correctly and something other not First I've to be sure I'm not confused, then report...

My C:\Program Files\eFMer\BoincTasks\html\notices_template.html does already contain "charset=windows-1252".
But I've noticed that the Notices tab contains IE context menu (IE is default on the machine) - it is set do display "West European languages (Windows) encoding". Changing it manually to "Mid European (Windows)" solves it. (Should be solved automatically by the charset preference, neeeee?? IE....)

You can use this as well: C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\eFMer\BoincTasks\html
And change the notices.html file itself, easy for checking but not permanent.

Both IE and Chrome display the encoding incorrectly: IE (like BT) as  "West European languages (Windows) encoding", again a manual change to "Mid European (Windows)" solves it; Chrome as "Western (Windows-1252)", manual switch to "Mid European (Windows-1250)" solves it again. Damn!! That's the culprit - my code page is Win-1250, not Win-1252! And Win-1252 is "Western Latin1".
I'm dumb:

Try changing the encoding: charset=windows-1252. This may help.

you wanted me actually to change the encoding from existing Win-1252, not into Win-1252 ..... Reading and thinking simultaneously sometimes helps.

Could the notices_template.html be somehow generated according to the selected language (using the encoding, selected in .btlang's first line)? (This would possibly mean pushing notices_template.html from ProgramFiles somewhere into user-writable data area?)
