Duglum
Thank you!

PS
Oh, no need to escape umlauts, UTF8 strings work fine.

According "kbookLanguageAssets_de-DE.xml" I want to suggest the following alternatives to Duglum's translation into German:

my sugestions are in the comments

BTW am I right that localizition menu isn't localized?

[kartu]

I speak a bit of German but would rather have native German speakers decide which translation is better.

Mark Nord

No, it's not, but it's not completely ready either (date format). I also forgot to localize a number of addon titles, but this will be ironed out during beta.

Last correction (I hope) of the Spanish translation made by VICTORSJG and me.

Also I uploaded the translation into Catalan.

Could you also translate this part please (Seiten, 1 Seite.. etc):


FUNC_X_PAGES: function (n) {
return this.FUNC_X_SOMETHING(n, "Seiten", "1 Seite", "Keine Seite");

FUNC_X_ITEMS: function (n) {

FUNC_X_BOOKS: function (n) {

Thank you Duglum for the fast and good translation.
There is always more than one alternative to translate this or that word.
The suggestions made by Mark Nord are very good. The only thing I would change is this:

RESET_TO_FACTORY: "Auf Werkseinstellungen zurücksetzen",

SHUTDONW_DECIVE: "Gerät ausschalten"


However, at the end anybody can change it to ones preferences...


Edit:
The attached file is based on Duglum´s translation, Mark Nord´s annotations and some slight changes I did myself... ;-)

[Duglum]

Yep, that looks better than my translation. Thanks a bunch

[kartu]

Glad that you all agree guys.

RESET_TO_FACTORY: "Auf Werkseinstellungen zurücksetzen",

I wonder, if this would fit on the screen... We'll see.

However, at the end anybody can change it to ones preferences...

I am considering moving the script stuff "somewhere else", due to lame bugs related to file overwriting in Internal Memory (calibre users have reported it several times). Basically, I don't even develop using IM, because you are never sure, whether your change was correctly reflected in file system or not.

So, possible solutions are:
1) Just move it all to firmware.
2) Have script in /opt0 (used for preferences, big enough). This makes it not directly accessible on the one hand (which is bad), but updating it doesn't require flashing and it would (hopefully) solve file corruption errors.

On top of it, I am testings scripts combining all those js files into one big js (and optimizing it, which should make it load faster and consume a bit of less memory both as source and as compiled bytecode).

It would still be possible to have stuff "the old way" in /database/system/PRSPlus, if PRSPlus.js file will be present there, the one from firmware/opt0 won't be loaded.

If you have thoughts/comments on this subject, please share them.

I just tried to upgrade my PRS 505 from PRS+ 1.0.0 to the new custom fw. After copying the required files the Reader rebooted. However it never comes out of the "Starting Up" state. What (if anything) can I do to recover at this stage?

I already tried to reset it several times and to connect it with my pc but that does not really change anything. It still remains in the "Starting Up" state.

Do you know what I can do now?

1) Don't worry, you'll unbrick it.
2) https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=799

Would be nice to determine what was the cause for the brick though to avoid it in the future. Did you have US 1.1.00.18040 firmware when flashing? Did you have many books/files on internal memory?

Did installer log report any errors?

I just unbricked it through your advice, thanks a lot!

I did not have US 1.1.00.18040 firmware when I flashed, at that point I had your PRS+ 1.00 FW and I only had about 70 books in my internal memory.

It seems that using a non-US 1.1.00.18040 firmware causes the PRS 505 to brick.

Nice.

What firmware did you have before flashing with PRS+ 1.0?

The German FW 1.4.00.23260

Does anyone know where one can get the "Browse Folders" function for PRS 300. Any thoughts of PRS + working in the near future?

I was thinking about "donate for prs 300" option, to be honest. Even porting it to PRS 500 "remotely" didn't work.

It´s a very good idea and I would support it! At least, it´s a small "Thank you!" for the genius work you do!!!

Since you have both the 505 and 600 could you tell me please, which one is best readable...are there differences between the displays?
What is your favourite?

If the 600 is best of all Sony ebook-readers and if there is no restriction in using PRS+, what about concentrating on this one first?

However, the price is an advantage of the 300 and as far as there is no 510, it would be good to have a second ebook with PRS+, since nobody knows the expectation of life of ones 505...
