Thanks a lot!

Here is a new version of the Bulgarian language file. I allowed myself to put a version section with the date at the end of the file.

Btw, yesterday I had the opportunity to see the commercial Bulgarian translation with which PB360 is sold in Bulgaria and it seems that it has not been tested much how it would appear in real live - too long strings and sometimes words that appear split in two rows due to lack of space.

I've uploaded the readme for FBReader180 in German in its correspondent subforum, but we could make localisations of said readme too. It's really easy to make (5 minutes) and it'll allow people to safely enjoy the advantages of FBReader180. I upload here the English version (as base), and my German and Spanish translations.

Attached the Dutch language file.

Let's do some gravediggin'!

We have here the latest language files from the last firmware version. The procedure followed to extract the fonts was exactly like this one, using the terminal emulator POTERM which I'm including here.

By the way, it must be said, the PB guys have done a great improvement in the keyboard! Now once you type a letter, the pointer stays on that letter instead of vanishing. This makes typing more akin to how it would be done through a gamepad, choosing letters and typing them. Definitely a good thing!

Thanks for the heads-up re poterm. I don't suppose there is telnet daemon or some other way to connect my computer to the busybox running on the PB? Typing in commands via the PB buttons is not all that much fun ...

You can upload script.sh and run it from poterm. *If* you are not afraid.

Thanks, that's an interesting idea. Fear? Nothing that a recent backup wouldn't cure

First you should make sure that the system partition is mounted read only. Only when you are *absolutely* sure issue commands like rm / -rf

I was thinking, that you could make a record to the extensions.cfg
--------------
sh:@text_file:1:sh:ICON_TXT
-----------------
and run scripts directly from the library.

Hello,

I attach the Portuguese language file (according to the the Orthographic Agreement of 1990). I hope it will be of interest to the Lusophone community.

Best regards,

It seems that more Mediterranean languages like Catalan, Italian, and Greek would be welcome

By the way, there is a way to make virtual keyboards in those languages too, but I haven't been able to elaborate one.
