[Ovmsdev] OVMS Android localization

Sun May 12 02:56:31 HKT 2013

Patrick,

You have enough real estate for a german translation, I think.

For example:

<string name="slidetocharge">SCHIEBEN STARTET\nDEN LADEVORGANG</string>

Mark,

here are the new ones in german:

    <string name="live">live</string>
    <string name="ndays">%d Tage</string>
    <string name="nhours">%d Stunden</string>
    <string name="nmins">%d Minuten</string>
    <string name="min1">1 Minute</string>
    <string name="justnow">Gerade eben</string>
    <string name="mph">mph</string>
    <string name="kph">kmh</string>
    <string name="slidetocharge">SLIDE TO\nCHARGE</string>
    <string name="timedcharge">GEPLANTE LADUNG</string>
    <string name="pushnotifications">Push-Benachrichtigungen</string>
    <string name="pushnotifications_welcome">Erhaltene Push-Nachrichten für
deine registrierten Fahrzeuge werden hier archiviert.</string>
    <string formatted="false" name="charging">LADEN\n%s %s</string>

I just left "SLIDE TO CHARGE" as it is, because there is no short
translation that would reflect the meaning properly. Something like "Schiebe
zum laden" sounds awkward and I wouldn't recommend translating this.

Denis,

Thanks for finding these. It was quite a bit of work, but I've put most of
them into the strings.xml file. I've pushed that to github, but for
simplicity it may be easier if you guys can just translate these few new
ones:

    <string name="live">live</string>

    <string name="ndays">%d days</string>

    <string name="nhours">%d hours</string>

    <string name="nmins">%d mins</string>

    <string name="min1">1 min</string>

    <string name="justnow">just now</string>

    <string name="mph">mph</string>

    <string name="kph">kph</string>

    <string name="slidetocharge">SLIDE TO\nCHARGE</string>

    <string name="timedcharge">TIMED CHARGE</string>

    <string name="pushnotifications">Push Notifications</string>

    <string name="pushnotifications_welcome">Push notifications received for
your registered vehicles are archived here.</string>

    <string formatted="false" name="charging">CHARGING\n%s %s</string>

We will need these in Norwegian, Dutch, French and German.

Note that some of the other messages you have seen are command responses
from the car module, and are in English because that is all the car module
knows. It would be another project to translate those!

Regards, Mark.

Mark,

Thank you for the APK.

I ironed out some translations, and attached the new version of the French
translation file.

I found some strings that seem not localizable and are probably hard-coded:

“Demonstration Car”

“live”

 “just now” “kph”

“CHARGING”

 “SLIDE TO CHARGE”

“Valet Mode Activated”

“Valet Mode Deactivated”

“Vehicle Locked”

“Vehicle Unlocked”

“Vehicle Awake”

“Push Notifications”

“Push notifications received for your registered vehicles are archived
here.”

“Command unenplemented”

“Module Rebooted”

and the strings displayed beside the parking and the antenna symbol (, “x
min”, “x hours”, etc)

Tires pressure seems to be hard-coded in psi. Here we use kPa. Can this be
changed in the app?

Denis,

You can try from:

 <http://www.openvehicles.com/downloads/OVMS.3.1.3.beta1.apk>
http://www.openvehicles.com/downloads/OVMS.3.1.3.beta1.apk

Your translations seem fine, and come up in the App perfectly. The only
change I had to make was that apostrophes (') need to be escaped (\'). I've
committed to github, so you can see the revisions there (as you point out
res/values-fr/strings.xml).

Thanks, Mark.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for the file with the strings.

I did the translation into French, the values-fr\strings.xml is attached.

I also attached a French app description, for Play Store submission.

Following thoughts :

-          Many things require much more words in French than in English, so
I translated the app name as “OVMS”.

-          This is my first Android translation, but I did many in the past
on the now defunct webOS platform, and experience told me that translations
need to be checked in their context in the app. So I’d like to test my
translations within the app to be able to correct some of them if they are
wrong or don’t display well in their captions. Could you send me an APK so I
can test the translations?

-          I made the assumption: Wakeup Car = Preheating/cooling of the
cabin (would make sense on my Ampera, but I don’t know what it does on the
Tesla Roadster)

Denis,

I did a quick review, and the strings seem to be correctly put in the
resource file. I don't see any hard-coded.

Attached is the strings.xml. I hope it is self-explanatory. Only about 120
to translate.

If others can step forward for German, Norwegian and Dutch, that would be
helpful. Please let us know you 'grab it', here, to avoid duplication of
effort.

Regards, Mark.

P.P.S. I look forward to seeing the translations for the first string
"<string name="app_name">Open Vehicle</string>" :-)
