For WAF apps localization is supported by underlying subsytem itself. It will load different resources basing on current locale (if different resources will be provided). Read here (it mentions Pillow, but it also works for WAF).

So if I create the same structure used by stock WAFs (local folder with languages folders inside), komic will search for the correct language?
If not present, which one is choosed?

Do I have to link the resource.js with absolute or relative path?

Thanks!!!

Yes.

Look for example of search sequence here. Also look at how exactly resources are referenced in stock WAF apps.

Thanks a lot!
It works really fine!!

I just need to use variables instead of strings inside Komic!!!

silver18 · 11-09-2012, 10:12 AM

Komic is now completely localized (en-GB and italian...I will ask for users help to provide other languages)
I just need to create a new set of images to localize also buttons!!

silver18 · 11-14-2012, 02:06 PM

Ok, localization complete!

I removed the old reading menu and bookmarks menu and placed instead two new kindle-style menus.
This helped me reducing the amount of button images to be localized (now 14).
I changed the html range input with a new jquery ui to choose the scroll amount.

I also localized the launcher menu and added a new script to change the menu language according to the system language.
All scripts (rename/delete/move screenshots/decompress archives/check updates/sounds) use now localized on-screen instructions.

Finally, both Komic and its launcher menu have en_GB/it_IT languages and they use english as fallback language (i.e if they can't find a correct translation, they will use english).

New languages can be added, if someone wants to help, please let me know (it's an easy job, although there is quite a huge amount of strings to be translated

)

And now some screenshot (in italian obviously

)

Last update:
- first page and last page buttons in "jump to page" prompt
- new option in options menu to change the background color when reading (you can choose black, white, gray or enter your custom colore code/name)

Anyone interested in an auto-next feature?! Something like:
- choose the timer (seconds)
- komic will automatically go to next page after the choosen amount of seconds
(for landscape mode, auto-scroll and then auto-next with 2 different timers)

knc1 · 11-15-2012, 03:22 PM

Is there any possible option you have missed?

It seems that you have everything possible in there already, except maybe to take on the trash on Monday mornings.

I second this.

Silver is my mod hero. A truly impressive one person project.

Bow to your application of intent.

Doff my cap. And I have only ever read one comic with the app. but it was a highly enjoyable experience

Before Komic I never used javascript, html, shell scripting or jquery.
So, I keep adding things to Komic just because I really enjoy myself!! Every time I learn something new!
Moreover, I like working with WAFs and I'm a bit scared by porting Komic to Java, so I'm postponing this by adding new features!

Adding the ability to take the garbage out is a bit trivial..I would need to provide a dropdown menu to choose the day and the correct type of garbage (glass, aluminium, plastic...)

silver18 · 11-16-2012, 03:47 PM

FYI, auto next is ready.
I'm going to test it this evening, reading without using my hands to turn the page...
I promise you: I ended adding things!!
