internationalisation - [SOLVED]

[l18l]

Here are my not perfect green bottles compiled in latest bacon.bash; CLI only for now.

greenbottles
greenbottles.bac
greenbottles.pot
greenbottles-de.po
greenbottles_cli.log

Note, variable are:
- color of bottle
- number of bottles at start
- number of falling bottles

[l18l]

There are 10 green bottles hanging on the wall.
And if one green bottle should accidently fall
there'd be 9 green bottles hanging on the wall.




After some PM discussions with Peter my green bottles international are available in GUI now.

Countdown from 10 to 0 was not enough for me so you can choose
- number of bottles
- number of falling bottles

Variables are
- color of bottle
- location of bottle



Note, a goal was to have entire phrases that are to be translated.

feedback appreciated

Very nice! You have the primer on creating a GUI with HUG and actually provide a translation.

Well done!

Thanks for the compliment, Peter.

I have to pass it through to barry.
Without his proxy-setup.bac and BaCon, 1.0.22pre I could not have get it done. This BaCon version is terrible fast.: only 6 seconds for compiling greenbottles.bac on my 1.50GHz single CPU box.

As this here is not puppy but BaCon I would really like to

• get more experiences made by other translators:
  can you translate and use it just by editing your po file and msgfmting ?
  Post your po file as reply here, please.
  
• get INTL$ and NTL$ improved by making use of variables
  
• get test results from other operating systems
  
• ... (we will see)
  
• put greenbottles.tgz, some languages included, into "Code Projects > Small programs, examples", sooner or later
  
• mark this thread as [SOLVED]
  

Hoping for translators' feedback
Best regards
