Indian Language Translation

[Ravi Vundavalli]

Hi,

OJ when translated to Telugu (unicode), shows OJ correctly for some menus

and shows a series of 'blank boxes' for others.

I can attach a screen shot of what I meant to those wishing to solve pl.

series of blank boxes may be incorrectly given escaped unicodes

I read somewhere that the welcome screen is special in this regard. I guess on the wikipage.

In the application however it should work everywhere if not, it's a bug ;) .. ede

how did you done that

[Ravi Vundavalli]

Vikram,

the way I followed (for Windows OS).. also remember, there are some bugs which our OJ coders will soon solve. If it can work for Chinese.. it will work for Indian languages too (soon).

1. Download the nightly build zip file and open it in a decently named folder

2. Extract files from (in the extracted lib folder)  lib\openjump-core-*.jar to the main folder you created

    as given at http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/jump-pilot/index.php?title=How_to_translate_OpenJUMP_into_another_language

3. Try changing the bin\oj_windows.bat file as given in the web page to actually taste the magic of OJ showing other languages.

    For example the following change will make OJ for Chinese

    set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Duser.language=zh -Duser.country=HK
To run OJ use bin\oj_windows.bat and taste the difference.

NOW to make OJ work for Indian languages (U need to be on-line)

4.Copy paste all that is in jump_pt_BR.properties (say after opening jump_pt_BR.properties in Notepad) in 

   http://www.google.com/transliterate 

5. Choose your language, from the upper right pull-down menu in http://www.google.com/transliterate

6. Make all the changes, then Select all --> Copy --> Paste in Notepad and save in Unicode as 1.txt

7. Now download JDK (from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-se-jdk-7-download-432154.html)

    If it is not pre-existing on your system. 

   native2ascii.exe -encoding unicode 1.txt jump_te_IN.PROPERTIES

   You must set the path correctly and run this from command prompt. Output file may cause a problem of 'No Permission.. etc', Beware .. Choose a location that wont have permission problems.

8.  Use http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_language_codes.asp

search for the language of your choice, to get its standard two letter name, Example: te for Telugu, and IN for India

9. Copy the resultant file properly named in the 'Language' folder.

    execute bin\oj_windows.bat to see the result 

10. Join the crowd of 'never say die', indic translators, keep posting results on this list.

By the way, are you from Kerala..

Hi Ravi,

Thanks for precise explanations.
Can you precise what you're refering to with "there are some bugs which our OJ coders will soon solve".

Hope we'll soon have more indian language available for OpenJUMP :-)
