I love the app though

If you add this to your recipe:

extra_css = '@font-face {font-family: "serif0";src:url(res:///Data/FONT/serif0.ttf)} body{font-family: serif0, serif} .article_description{font-family: serif0, serif} a.article{font-family: serif0, serif}'

And create folder called FONT on your reader that contains hebrew TTF font that you have to rename to serif0.ttf you will be able to read Hebrew texts now.

The same thing I used for all russian recipes.

kovid,

Could you give more details about 'recipe' ?
Is it possible to translate it as a 'script library' ? I can't find the good translation in french.

[kovidgoyal]

In calibre recipe is basically a set of instructions that telll calibre how to download news from a given RSS feed/website. It is like a cooking recipe (which is a set of instructions on how to prepare a dish). So I would recommend translating it as 'recipe' in french, if possible or if not as 'set of instructions'

[vincent_c]

Thank you for this answer, the translation will be validated with zelda and filip

Now it shows the font right, but it's reversed (left to right instead of right to left) so I can't read it...

OK, I forgot that Hebrew is RTL language.

Try this instead in your recipe:

extra_css = '@font-face {font-family: "serif0";src:url(res:///Data/FONT/serif0.ttf)} body{direction: rtl; font-family: serif0, serif} .article_description{direction: rtl; font-family: serif0, serif} a.article{direction: rtl; font-family: serif0, serif} p{direction: rtl; font-family: serif0, serif} '

Here I explicitly specify text direction.

Still not working
It didn't change the direction...

[kiklop74]

can you post the font and the recipe you use so that I can check it out for the weekend?

[kacir]

My language is finished.
I have translated only a small fraction of those 1135 strings.

Thank you Kovid for a very impressive work.

[kovidgoyal]

Thanks for the translation

class AdvancedUserRecipe1236198700(BasicNewsRecipe):
    title          = u'Hebrew'
    oldest_article = 7
    max_articles_per_feed = 100
    
    feeds          = [(u'HebrewBlog', u'http://holland.blogli.co.il/feed/')]
    extra_css = '@font-face {font-family: "serif0";src:url(res:///Data/FONT/serif0.ttf)} body{direction: rtl; font-family: serif0, serif} .article_description{direction: rtl; font-family: serif0, serif} a.article{direction: rtl; font-family: serif0, serif} p{direction: rtl; font-family: serif0, serif} '

The font I used is just DejaVuSans (attached).

Thank you so much

I'll look into it and translate to Swedish, and maybe Finnish, once I finish the XO-translations I'm working on at the moment (under 10.000 words left, yay!) so I'll probably get started in a couple of weeks unless someone else has done it by then. I'd rather not take a break from the etoys world, since it's easier to only translate one program at a time, less risk of mixing up stuff and being inconsistent

Thanks, yeah it's probably a god idea to stick with one program at a time

Kovid,

I have found two items with %%default instead of %default, is it a keying mistake in orignal items or just a percent value ?

[kovidgoyal]

It most probably comes from a situation where % replacing is applied twice, the forst time %% is converted to % so in the translation also it should be %%default (don't translate the default)
