Re: [Ovmsdev] OVMS Android localization

      Hi Mark,
I did the translation into Norwegian, the values-no\strings.xml is attached.
I don't have any Android device at the moment, so not able to test my
translation in the app myself.

Denis,
You can try from:
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 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.S. Description of the Android localisation process is here:

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