Adding new interface languages

[kido.resuri]

Dear Hungarian Kobo users!

I (almost) finished the translation of Kobo to Hungarian and made an automated pack, based on helour's Slovak pack (thanks!).
The translation is for the 3.19.5761 firmware version!
For firmware 4.3.9084, read this post.

This pack installs the Hungarian user interface language, an English-Hungarian dictionary, found here: http://ekonyvolvaso.blog.hu/2010/10/...ol_mobi_szotar
and a hyphenation dictionary, found here: http://code.metager.de/source/raw/mo...on/hyph_hu.dic (again, thanks helour!)

The pack will also make some modifications in the config file:

Sets FullScreenReading=true in FeatureSettings section.
EDIT1: As PeterT pointed, FullScreenReading is removed, if you already added, please modify your config file.
Sets page refresh to 90 pages, so it will flicker less while reading. If you experience ghosts, do a manual refresh by tapping the screen twice.
EDIT2:
Set current locale to hu_HU, adding ExtraLocales=hu, these are required to set the User interface to hungarian.


There is also a hungarian keyboard, which has some glitches in Kobo H2O, but works on Glo. The accent charackers work on both devices, so it should be fine.
You must apply the following patch to libnickel. Find guidence for this in the patching thread.
EDIT2: This was only tested in FW 3.19.5761 on H2O and Glo. Newer and older firmwares work differently, so don't apply on them. Please use it at your own risk!

Feel free to post any comments or translation errors you find.

I really question adding FullScreenReading=true to the conf file; it has been shown over and over that this adds rendering issues to reading of epub files.

Oh. Thanks for pointing that out. I'm removing it then.

@kido.resuri
Thank you for your contribution. I am glad that you already removed th FullScreenReding=true, which I was just going to ask you. Users would possibly appreciate to learn which changes are made to the configuration file without having to look at the script (adding hu to ExtraLocales, and setting CurrentLocale to hu_HU). They might also like to be informed about the targeted FW (3.19.5761), which is relevant for the keyboard patch.

I have added a link to the second post.

[kido.resuri]

@tshering Sure, I might was not clear about the script automatically installing and applying the neccessary changes to set the locale and the UI language. I'm adding your reccommendations to the above post.

Translation into Catalan that includes the menus of the new home screen of firmware v.4.3.8842

[wincepinter]

Dear Hungarian Kobo users!

The (almost completed) translation is for the 4.3.8945 firmware version!
Original post and package by kido.resuri

Tested on Kobo Touch N905C, mark 4

[tshering]

surquizu and wincepinter,

thank you! I added the links to the second post.

[kido.resuri]

Nice. Well, you could at least ask if there was a translation already... as I already had mine, just wanted to
a) finish all text (and by all, I mean all)
b) wait for the firmware updates settle, as you may noticed there were a number of them lately.
Anyway, just to inform you here, the complete translation is in process now, thank you.

[kido.resuri]

Dear Kobo users!

I finally finished the full translation to Hungarian, for firmware 4.3.8966 and firmware 4.3.9084
As the previous pack for 3.19.5761, this pack installs the Hungarian user interface language, an English-Hungarian dictionary, found here: http://ekonyvolvaso.blog.hu/2010/10/...ol_mobi_szotar
and a hyphenation dictionary, found here: http://code.metager.de/source/raw/mo...on/hyph_hu.dic (again, thanks helour!)

The pack will also make some modifications in the ".kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf" config file:
- Sets page refresh to 90 pages, so it will flicker less while reading. If you experience ghosts, do a manual refresh by tapping the screen twice.
- Sets current locale to hu_HU, and adds ExtraLocales=hu, these are required to set the User interface to hungarian.

Feel free to post any comments or translation errors you find.

Installation: download the attachment (KoboRoot-AllInOne-hu-4.3.8966.zip), unzip and copy KoboRoot.tgz to Kobo over USB to ".kobo" folder, then safely remove the eReader. The device will automatically update itself and restart with the Hungarian interface language set.

Installation instructions in Hungarian:

Spoiler:

A csatolt állományt (KoboRoot-AllInOne-hu-4.3.8966.tgz) letöltése után tömörítsd ki, és a KoboRoot.tgz fájlt másold át a Kobo-ra USB-n a ".kobo" mappába. Ezután biztonságosan távolítsd el a Kobo-t. Automatikusan telepíti a nyelvi fájlokat és a magyar felülettel indul újra.

EDIT: modified some text, fixed missing translations

[kido.resuri]

There is one strange thing. Some of the text does not apply the translation from the language file. I tried to extract the english language, change only the specific text that doesn't change, and it didn't apply that way either. There are a few of these and I wasn't able to figure it out why. Anyone have any ideas?

[Semwize]

In the text there are special characters? For example, · or '

[kido.resuri]

Yes, there are. But there are others with special characters that gets applied...

[Semwize]

Try to convert special characters to HTML, and use Qt Linguist 5.6.0

[kido.resuri]

Thanks. I used and older version of QT Linguist. Installed 5.8, and it works fine now!

Updated the translation with the new release.
