Ciao Mohammad

Tiddler Commander is an incredibly good tool!

Will you integrate your Trash Bin plugin with it? I think they would go well together?

There are dangers in Tiddler Commander that a trash bin restore would immediately fully address.

P.S. Its nuts what Donald Trump is trying to do to Iranians. It won't work because his ideas are based on false, extreme, ideas. The man is seriously stupid. I think its about "flag-waving". FWIW, my American liberal friends consider his actions (currently symbolic) empty aggression. FYI, there is a long history behind it. Congress granted the President extra-ordinary powers under the US "Patriot Act" that allows him such uni-lateral action. 

But its highly damaging because it f*s-up perfectly innocent collaboration.

I will consider this!

Yes, Commander easily can delete bunch of tiddlers and if it uses Trashbin, then removing tiddlers will be a two step process!

Hi Mohammad,

As the creator of many plugins that end up in many tiddlywikies for daily use;-), I write this in you thread, but it is really directed to many plugin authors.

I really wish there was an easy way to translate your plugins. Not so much for the ease of it, but not to tumble around in you plugins and translate manually all places. That will only end up in many variants around.

Thomas Elmiger did it well creating a language tid for translation. Jan also made it easy in his Metatabs, thank you so much. Good examples.

Creating good plugins is of course the important part, but the translation functionality is the icing of the cake.

I know it is extra work, not easy and annoying, but so useful. We tiddlywiki lovers come from all parts of the world and may not care so much. Use the english version with ease. Sharing with friends and family can be quite another matter. They tend to find tiddlywiki confusing enough on its own.

Hi Birthe,

 I will have a look at Jan and Thomas to see how it can be implemented!

I use Thirdflow for developing plugins and seems it  is not that hard to include tiddlers for labels, tooltip, messages, ... to be simply translated!

Thanks for your comment!

Best regards

Mohammad

Birthe,

Good point. My desire to do this on a few occasions drove me crazy (sadly I stopped). I think we need some good coding guidelines for designers so they can prepare any solution to leverage the existing language tools in tiddlywiki, with the minimum impact and effort possible. At worst we could publish versions with computer translations and provide a method to native speakers to send back better versions. I companion program for translators that shows one language alongside another for each use of text with quick editing available would smooth the process and may even make translation fun.

If any one wants to do this I will provide research and design support.

Regards

Tony

Hi Tony,

Look how Thomas Elmiger did it. https://tid.li/tw5/plugins.html

You will find it in the Listreveal.

Right, Birthe. Its good!

An additional advantage is that "language" customisation like he did allows the user (even in English) to easily modify messages, headings, strap-lines etc. 

Its used to good effect in ListReveal/ToDoNow combo.

So its not just useful for translations.

Best wishes

[Mohammad]

That's quite true!

I hope Jeremy can introduce a procedure a convention or recommendation and plugin authors follow it!

This is important to have a standard or at least one procedure  for multilingual plugins.

Something is wrong here - I have 1.2.1, but there's no search/tiddler select functionality anymore.

Am I missing something? 

[TonyM]

Birth,

I see some but how do I use this to do the same for other languages? and he says

I hope I will find a way to use the language from the TW settings in the future

What does this mean for this solution? Is it not yet main stream?

Thanks Regards

Tony

[Birthe C]

Hi Tony,

It will never be mainstream, I think. The solution will always demand extra work and people of other languages to make the translation.

To create the language translations would be a way for others to show that they like and use a plugin.

The beauty of Thomas solution is, that it is easy to translate and use the translation. Do not fill up your TW with unnecessary stuff. That is what a lot of language tids would do, if we had to have them for everything.

Have you looked at the size of your TW just a newly downloaded empty, before and after importing the translations of your choice?

Would we really want more of that for each and every possibility?

Birthe

When I write a solution I am forced to overwrite button names and tool tips with English specific versions. All I want to do is to build such solutions to be capable of being given other language text for these key items. My guess is 12 terms or phrases need translating at mist. I could possibly produce a French version myself and have a native speaker review it. If they had a simple list to translate, any person with English and a second language could build their own version but only if my solution supports a quick translation. I expect longer text would only be in English.

It is building language aware solutions even if I do not produce then myself.

We have a lot of French and German speakers in the community to name two.

Tony
