How to localize Phex 2.0

arne_bab · #21 (**permalink**) July 29th, 2004

No need to say sorry. You want to help so what reason should we have to be angry when you ask? (I chatted quite much with regor before I learned how to translate it, so you have every right to ask any question which comes to your mind!

)

Many thanks to you!

Well the Duch translation is as good as finished
Only, I can't change the column names under the SearchMonitor tab.
And in the options screen under users interface, I can only describe 2 settings, while there are 3 (language is missing)
And as I have some lengthy info texts, could the displaytime be set a little longer ?
And If it is easy to add extra TTT lines at some points, could someone explain howto ?

Further, could it be there are some old entries in the properties file ?

And I think the English version could be changed a little, more seen from a user point of view.
(but I have no time for it at the moment)

Oh yes and finally, what does DailyUptimeProvider mean.
Uptime the last 24Hr.?

The localization of them was missing. Here are the key available in the next release.

SearchMonitorTab_RoutedFrom = Routed From
SearchMonitorTab_SearchText = Search Text
SearchMonitorTab_HopsTtl = Hops / TTL

UserInterfaceText = <html>This section of the options system allows you to change settings that \
affect the user interface of Phex.\
<table border="0"><tr><td valign="top">*</td><td>'General' let you alter the look and feel of the \
user interface and it's font.</td></tr>\
<tr><td valign="top">*</td><td>'Language' let you change the user interface language. \
<tr><td valign="top">*</td><td>'Prompts' gives you options about which alerts and notifications \
you like to be informed of.</td></tr></table></html>

You mean the tooltip text display time? I have to check for that, I guess its a Java default currently.

You need to do it in the Java source. Its not working easily on all components. Like tables are difficult. But lets assume you have a simple component. Like a JButton. In that case you can just call the standard method setToolTipText. Here a simple example:

searchButton.setToolTipText( Localizer.getString( "TTTStartSearch") );

But I guess the easiest way would be to tell me the elements and I add the changes for you quickly. Maybe we can do this through ICQ or anything..

Yes, I'm currently working on a tool to find them out.

I'm open to any suggestions from anyone to improve the texts.

Compared to uptime, daily uptime is a weighted average calculation of the time you are online per day (The current day counts more, days in the past count less).
The formular came from Limewire and the value is PONGED through the network together with IPs to determine how likely it is to connect to a host.

Hello Gregor,
I have little time right now but here's the Dutch version.
It is NOT the definitive version, becouse I am not 100% satisfied with it.

I'll be away for the weekend but be back sundaynight.
