PRS-505 Locales: French, Spanish, German?

2 книги, but 5 книг
12 книг
22 книги
I am not sure if it's so complicated in Croatian, but I think there may be something like that. So the best way to make sure I make you a correct menu is to give me the

N books: 1 knjiga/2-4 knjige/5+ knjiga

or something like that. This way I can easily code it up for you. So far for Ukrainian, Czech and Croatian I had to make some guesses with Google Translate, but it was a real pain.

The U.F. image is attached. The ready made image with Russian-East Euro (but not Ukrainian) fonts is here.

Actually yes, and I was worried about that because there was only "1" and "N". In Croatian, the first four numbers have specific word forms. So: 1, 2, 3, 4 and any number that ends in those four digits will have the same word form as if they were 1, 2, 3, 4. Numbers that end in any other digit will have the neutral form, that is the form of the number 1. Usually, numbers 2, 3, 4 share the same specific form. Also, sometimes the 5+ numbers have their own form, for instance the word "objekt".

Again, this worried me, but I didn't want to step on your toes by being all pedantic seeing how your spending all this time on incorporating these translations. I'm glad that I was wrong and that you care about being completely accurate. I don't remember the last time a Croatian software translation had accurate word forms for numbers.

Here are the more specific translations:

"1 stranica"
"2-4 stranice"
"5-N stranica"
"1 objekt"
"2-4 objekta"
"5-N objekata"
"1 pjesma"
"2-4 pjesme"
"5-N pjesama"
"1 označena stranica"
"2-4 označene stranice"
"5-N označenih stranica"
"1 knjiga"
"2-4 knjige"
"5-N knjiga"
"1 kolekcija"
"2-4 kolekcije"
"5-N kolekcija"
"1 slika"
"2-4 slike"
"5-N slika"
"1 alat"
"2-N alata"

Well, here it is, with Italian and corrected Croatian menus.

Or you can download a ready-made image with full Cyrillic+East Euro fonts.

Here is the new U.F. package, to which I added the Lithuanian locale (actually, I incorporated stasys's changes with a minor fix for "Books by Title").

I also fixed the "Low Battery!" warning, which had not been working 100% correctly in all locales (a fix to applicationStart.xml).

[Domas]

I have posted my translation in PRSCustomizer thread.

Including date/time format, grammatical number (plural forms) and some number-word placement.

Stasys, could you revise my version. It is a little different from your suggested translation.

Domas, thanks for the great work! Just fyi, I don't merge any localization until porkupan has vetted & approved it.

Jeff, you should probably add a note to the first post of the PRSC thread notifying people that if they want to add their own localizations, they should contact porkupan in this thread.

I'll do that, thanks for the suggestion.

Update 2008.09.24:
Modified fonts put in download section - on some computers BD was loading book with right Lithuanian characters
***************
First message:

Porkupan has added two fixes to xml modified by me. Discussion on Lithuanian localization now goes here http://www.the-ebook.org/forum/viewt...=175560#175560
You can use use Google translation to follow up.

In mean time I have noticed that some Polish letters in font table are at same place where Lithuanin ones. Solution is to use in fontset original Sony font and modified one. Since I prefer fonts without serifs (like Arial) - here is the full package containing flasher, fontset and settings for BookDesigner.

Put unpacked flasher (thanks again, porkupan!) to SD card root, fileset put to ..\Sony\Reader\Data\fonts, settings put to ..\Book Designer 4.0\Tools\Reader\Settings. Flash image. When making books in BookDesigners, load ether EN_LT_RU_01.rst or EN_PL_CZ_RU_01.rst . For Lithuanian books use Czech book language settings in BookDesigner. For books in other languages use "auto" or corresponding language name.

Hi, Porkupan

I feel rather selfish asking for more after so much work, but having already over 10 languages to localize, is there an easy way we could pick just the localizations we want? If not, forget it.

And thanks again for your efforts.

I've been mulling this over too.

I know how I'd do it in PRSCustomizer. I'd set up each phrase as a replaceable string: IOW "Settings" would be "$settings." If the localization requested was Bulgarian, I'd simply replace $settings with whatever word = Settings in Bulgarian. The translations would be stored in external text files, so adding localizations should be easy. This would require a main.xml with only one localization as a base.

This should go without saying, but anyway, I'd feel most comfortable working with a single-localization main.xml that Porkupan has vetted or created. Localization is his baby, all I've done is merge his work into PRSCustomizer.
