Translators Wanted

mdeweerd's picture

The Desktop version of BT747 can be easily translated in other languages. Even though I know four languages, this small list does not cover the entire world. In the mean time, thanks to volunteers, the development version has more or less complete implementations of the application in: - English, German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Chinese, Italian and Russian. If you are interested in helping out to translate BT747 to your language, let me know. No coding is needed - simple editing of a text file only (Bundle.properties in particular).

The table just below points to files indicating the missing translation strings.  These files are updated automatically after a build so they correspond to the most current version.

If the file is 'empty', all strings were translated for that language.

To translate, please do a 'save as' of the link, edit the file and send me the translations (see email in 'about' of app or use the contact functionality of this site).  Even if you translate only part of the strings, that is helpful.

Hi Thanks for the offer.  I

Hi

Thanks for the offer.  I just updated the initial post so that the missing translations can be seen immediately.

Those interested can translate all or part of these and send them to me: bt747 A*T* bt747.org .

I will add them and on the next build the lists will get automatically updated.

Everything before the '=' token must remain unchanged, what follows the '=' token can be written as html when it starts with <html>, otherwise it is plain text.

Do you need Russian atm?

BT747 is currently partially translated to Russian.  With the evolutions, several new translations are missing as shown in the link above: http://soft.bt747.org/missing/ru_missing.lst .  This list is automatically updated on every build so it is always the latest.

So anyone can contribute by translating these to Russian to make the translation complete.

I do not know what you mean with 'atm'.

atm = At the moment :)

Hi Francesco To help, you can

Hi Francesco

To help, you can start by using file that is linked to above which lists the strings still to be translated (you'ld have to translate that text after the '=' token).

If you want to improve the italian translation, you'ld need to edit another file.

Then you can send it to me (see my mail in the 'about' function of the application).

The modern development of the

The modern development of the world, the process of globalization, the constant introduction of new technologies is of great need in high-quality German translation. Language is very alive substance…its development doesn’t stop.
