Hi,
You will find on http://dl.free.fr/pmthtsxVp a patch I suggest, where I did some important
changes to add French for Speakup.
1. All the user guide is translated.
2. This guide and translation are completed (section 14, I divided 14.2
with 14.2.1 and 14.2.2 and 14.2.3, 14.2.2 explains how to change the
language, in the French version it explains how to have Speakup in
French).
3. speakupmap.map: I added comments to detail the function (to be more
explicit for any user, I did this in speakmapfr.map (I can do this in
English if you want, but it's less useful as names of functions say what
necessary). I guess there's a better solution but I don't know yet.
4. Add of a new directory in the root of tree: named locales, it
contains config files for French (iso and utf8) and English locales (if
a user wants to come back). They are files to copy in /sys system, but a
script does this (see follow).
5. Add of a shell script which allows to change the language: the user
has to enter the number for his language (precised in the list of the
screen). So far only French and English are available, but the script
can be easily completed with other languages.
Could you tell me if:
1. You're interested and will add this patch on the main trunk?
2. If someone wants to do a review of the translations, it's a good idea
(especially the user guide). It's a short work I think.
3. You want to put online the user guide translated?
I followed the project of "future" mentioned in the manual. I hope it's
a good idea. I wait for your agreement for this patch and waiting, and
anyway, I'll put it online on a Traduc.org server to make it available
for users who want to have it easily.
Thanks for your answer.
Regards,
Jean-Philippe MENGUAL
