Hebrew translation

Postby Kangaroo Man » Fri Jun 04, 2010 6:47 pm

Greetings from Israel! :D
I hope it is the correct place to post that topic
Anyway,
I wish to make a Hebrew translation for Algodoo and Phun
How can i do that?
P.s. hebrew read from right-to-left, and not from the left-to-right (like English),
Does it cause any problem?
Thank you, kangarooman^^

Actually this isn't a very big problem thanks to our early beta testers who came up with the idea to have a right-to-left language mode.

I'm not very savvy with the translation but i do know the basics

Firstly your going to want to go into Algodoo\data\language Find English.Cfg Copy and paste a version onto your desktop right click the file, select open with notepad. Now your in ;)

Firstly on the top few lines you should see
//Meta_RightToLeft = true;
Change this to
Meta_RightToLeft = true;

This enables Right to left mode.

Next your going to see things like
OK = "OK";
Close = "Close";
Cancel = "Cancel";
Warning = "Warning";
Error = "Error";
What you want to do is change the words in Quotation marks ("") to the words in Hebrew.

As you can see, the software does not recognize the Hebrew letters.
How can I make it understand the letters?

I'm really not the person to be asking, text encoding is not my specialty.

Try changing the first line
Meta_encoding = "iso-8859-1";
To
Meta_encoding = "iso-15924";

By default it uses latin-1 encoding that should change it to hebrew encoding.

Once again, thank you! :thumbup: :thumbup:
The code you gave me was not working (iso-15 924), although with your help I understand what I need to change, and i found the correct code (ISO-8859-8)

I'd like to know also if there is a way to change the whole menu from left to right
Because it seems strange that the left side menu is written from right to left...
Again, thanks^^ :D

In options, deselect Lock windows the you should be able to move the windows over the the right of the screen manually.
Good luck with the translation. :)

OK^^
Algodoo makes every thing right-to-left, so when i have an english text it doesnt look so good...
So I have to write all the letters in Hebrew backwards :(
Thanks again, I hope to publish the translation soon in the site ^^
EDIT: how can i start algodoo like the first time running ? to see the:
Code: Select all
FirstTimeRunning =
   "Hello, and welcome to Algodoo!\n\n"+
   "If you are new to Algodoo, I suggest you run the beginners tutorial. Just click the button below to get going!\n";
FirstTimeRunningTitle = "Welcome!";
StartTutorial = "Go to the tutorials";

?
