Attention, Kartu:

Have you updated well the file? I think they should not be spaces in the instructions "+ String.fromCharCode (XXX) +" .

look at the example:

No, it's ok. Those spaced do not matter.

By the way, String.fromCharCode (XXX) is not needed, you can directly type characters, just save file in UTF-8 format. (for example jedit allows you to easily choose file encoding)

I've added "building PRS+" wiki page, for developers:
http://code.google.com/p/prs-plus/wiki/BuildingPRSPlus

It also allows to comfortably modify files.

The URL in the wiki page is wrong, it should point to

hg clone https://build.prs-plus.googlecode.com/hg/ .

Otherwise the ant-script worked fine and the Installer was built successfully. Unfortunately I don't have an SD-Card with me, so I can't test it yet. Looking forward to it

Fixed. Thanks for pointing out.

You could try to start it from the internal memory, if that's the only problem.

PPS
Haha, building successfully doesn't guarantee it would work. You need a right combination of versions.

Firmware: 1.1.0beta
Installer: 1.1.0beta
Code: tip (no code revision is marked 1.1.0beta as I am waiting for kravitz to merge his work into repository and some translations are still being finalized)

should work, however.

My Internal Memory was almost full, but I simply removed all the books and tried it. The translation works really nice, finally my reader is in german again, thank you very much

Some problems I have run into so far:
1. Apparently some characters are not in the default font (see screenshot). This also happens when starting the installer on a "fresh" firmware 1.1.00.18040, the fourth language from the top (I assume russian?) just shows up as blocks.
2. The clock addon shows "Clock.TITLE" as title in PRS+ Settings when using english locale.
3. My epub css files aren't shown anymore. The path in the addon points to Core.config.root + "epub/", but I didn't find a place where config.root is set. Can I simply add it to user.config or does this affect other areas as well?
4. When I use "Force install PRS+ Script" from the expert mode, I get a fsk error, code = -41, which means too little space available in /Data, according to another thread on this board. The partition has 181MB of free space though.

1) It's not missing chars issue, but rather encoding issue. I'll need to investigate how that happened. Works fine for me. Maybe has to do with system locale used when building.
2) The same as 1), could you post contents of the property file that you've used to build it?
3) That's clearly a bug, will be fixed today or tomorrow.
4) You shouldn't have that option in installers menu... ^^ As there is no "script" anymore. JS files are compressed and put into /opt/.... As a side effect it also solves "games icons are shown in pictures" and problems with internal memory file system corruptions.

PS

The path in the addon points to Core.config.root + "epub/", but I didn't find a place where config.root is set. Can I simply add it to user.config or does this affect other areas as well?

As a quick fix you could modify file in temp subfolder, to use absolute path "/Data/database/system/PRSPlus/epub/" (heck, I don't remember whether / in the end is needed ) and then do:
ant dobuild
then install.

User config now could be used only on SD cards. (b:\user.config) =/

PPS
After fixing known bugs, official 1.1.0 beta will be released.

1&2) I'm using an english (US) version of WinXP with "Language for non-Unicode programs", keyboard layout and all the rest set to German. I left the prs.properties untouched:

FW_VER=tip
SC_VER=tip
PRSP_VER=1.1.0beta
INSTALLER_VER=tip

3) The temporary fix works fine (used a path with / in the end), thanks.
4) Ah, I see. I thought I'd read about that somewhere. Well, the option is still there.

PS

There are some strings that aren't quite ideal in the german translation, I'll try to find better wording where necessary.

[kartu]

1&2) The file is fine:
http://code.google.com/p/prs-plus/so.../core_zLang.js
so something happens when build script is running, weird.

4) Figured that it's because I forgot to "push" committed changes.

[Duglum]

The Installer works as intended now, I guess, "Force install PRS+ Script" and "Set to update mode" are gone.

Attached is the output from the build process, there don't seem to be any errors though. Could it be a problem with the ant-version used? In my case it's 1.8.0.

Also attached is the updated german translation, now 99% of the strings fit on the screen and in some cases the wording is much better.

So long,
Duglum

No, ant itself couldn't cause this. yui compressor/mercurial could. Can you send me core_zLang.js file from the \tmp\script\505\core\ subfolder and tmp-core.js, tmp-core-min.js from tmp subfolder?

I've uploaded corrected German translation, thanks.

[Duglum]

There you go.

[kartu]

Seems like concat fails, adding parameter encoding="UTF-8" to concat calls (lines 104 & 109) should fix the problem.

PS
I've uploaded fix to repository.

[Duglum]

The characters in language selection are shown correctly with the concat-fix.

As for the clock addon, there seems to be a line missing in English.js:

TITLE: "Clock",

This fixes the problem for me.

Reading downloaded newspapers by "calibre":

When reading a book, I always turn over the pages by pressing the "center button" - to my mind the easiest way, because the thumb fits perfectly in there.
However, this button is needed to "Enter" an article within newspapers downloaded by calibre.

My Question:
Is there any possibility with PRS+ to add the "Enter"-function in order to combine it with another key than the "center button" set as "default"?
