Re: [stepbibleforum] Preview of translation in context

[Patrick Tang]

You will need to set up a development environment.  What operating system are you using?

I've done quite a bit of translation and would like to see it in context, in a preview, or test mode. Is there such a facility?

Do you use Linux?

[Sami Abdel Malik]

Thank you, Patrick,

I use Windows. I've done development on Windows for many years and prefer to use it. However. if absolutely necessary, I can setup a linux VM.

Hi Sami,

 

I intended to reply to this sooner, but lost your email.  I’m ‘Jamie’ Jamieson, and I’ve been looking after generating our Bible modules for some time.

 

Because I lost your earlier email I’m not 100% sure I’m replying to the right thing here, but if you simply want to see what your text would look like if it was displayed in STEP, I can probably patch something together for you quite quickly if you can let me have the text.  I guess the only issue here is that this may be a rather clumsy approach because the module I supply would be read only: if there were problems with it, you wouldn’t be able to fix the module yourself, but would need to revise your text and send it to me again for processing.

 

If this is what you were looking for, though, then as I say, do send me your text and I’ll see if I can produce something for you.

 

Jamie

Thank you Jamie.

 

I haven’t completed translating all the interface strings (it is now at about 60% complete).

While translating, I tried to be consistent, but I realise that context may require a deviation in some cases. This is why I wanted to see the translation in context.

 

However based on your email, It may be better to complete the remaining 40% before attempting your process.

 

BTW, I don’t know how to download the translated message files from crowdin. The Download and Export menu options are grayed out.

 

Being a retired developer, I was excited about Patrick’s idea of setting up a development environment. But I’m content with whatever help you can give.

Hi Patrick,

I've completed translating all the UI strings to Arabic and need to see them in context. 

You suggested I need to setup a development environment. Will you help me do that.

I have the latest eclipse for java developers installed (on my win11) and am familiar with using it. (I used eclipse for c/c++ development for embedded systems).

I also have it installed on ubuntu in a VM. But I suppose it should noy make a difference. I more familiar with the Windows environment.

It would be best to meet online.  What time zone are you in?
