Do it yourself, why not? Regarding German translation: YES! Of course! But read here, how to do it (basically you have to put the ".wiki" files with the same names as in root folders into "de" subfolder):
http://code.google.com/p/support/wik...g_Wiki_Content

Unfortunatelly, uploading/editing localized wiki pages is possible only via mercurial, not directly on site. What I did when uploading Faeron's russian translation was: first upload the images, then create a "new page" but don't save it, just preview to see if everything was correct, then commit/push via mercurial.

Actually, the global key bindings, do they just work when the about page is displayed? I couldn't find any other display that showed my assigned action to Button 2 (Mah jong). All other displays (book, menu....) showed either Five balls or Sudoku (The stuff I assigned to reading and menus).
Books view overrides hold 1-0 keys, but menu view doesn't. (and neither menu nor book view overrides "volume" button). I guess key bindings deserve a separate guide.

No.By default it is enabled, unless there is a bug. However, ".noscan" files are honored regardless of this settings.

Two questions:
In the Global menu, in key binding options, are not joypad buttons and other buttons options.
To avoid confusion actually, but I can allow them as well, if someone needs them. The problem is, those buttons are overriden in the most common views: book & menu. Technically there is no problem to override even "1-0" (without holding them long) as well, but the question is, whether it's feasible.

Quote:
The screenshot is perfect when you save in the SD, but to save the internal memory the progress message does not disappear.
Sounds like a bug. Is the file actually saved? I'll have a look in the evening.

Quote:
I think it would be interesting to put the screenshot on the menu of games & utilities with options to select the button and enable or disable the utility.
You mean allowing to customize in-game key bindings?

Scan should be enabled by default. Is it not?

Quote:
When setting the root folder, why would one do that?
(If I got what you mean) Pepak, for example, likes his books stored in "/books" not in "/database/media/books". Others like to put it directly in IM root and then wonder, why no book is visible in "browse folders". And it's an option easy to implement.

Quote:
Ok, another one. The key bindings:
Are the global ones higher than the menu or reading book key bindings, or maybe the other way round?
More specific bindings have higher priority. (I was first thinking about an option to choose, what has higher priority, but since it required a lot of effort and was error-prone to do it in a consistent way (there are many views out there: "about", "goto page", "info", each game has it's own etc) I've decided to leave it like that)

Holding button 2 (assigned in "global") should work in menu ("about", "info" etc aren't "menu", sorry for the confusion), but not in book (it overrides it).

Quote:
OK, screenshot on Volum+ still works.
Yes, because most views didn't bother to override volume+-.

Quote:
OK, original functions work if pressed normally, assigned actions are carried out when button is held down until action is carried out. Lol. Sorry, I should have known.
Ah, I see, "hold" means "hold for 5 sec". There could be a better way to name them.
