I want to point out a small problem with actual
translation of OJ in other languages: When OJ starts
it automatically sets on my language (Italian).
I know how to go back in English (startup script)in
order to use the wiki help.
But probabily many users (expecially Finnic, Spanish
and Italian) will find strange the startup script
modification.
If they know a little bit of English and want to use
wiki help pages they probabily will have difficulties.
For instance, if a portuguase, spanish, finnic or
italian user (who knows a little bit of English) wants
to use OJ and compare it to help wikis (which are in
English), It is not certain that he knows (or he wants
to know) how to switch back in English writing
Duser.language==EN.
Of coarse German and French users suffer less for this
(thanks to the Uwe's documentation).
I would like to make things easier for every user
I image two options:
1) Probabily we need to invert the way OJ uses the
language. I think that an option which gives to the
users the ability to change the languages will be
fine.
*****************
I did it in MSDOS using a group of folder associated
to OJ root: every folder (IT, DE, EN, ec)had the same
startup script file (OpenJUMP.bat) but with different
language option (one with Duser.language=it, another
with Duser.language=De, etc).
I prepared a language.bat script which only gives me
the options to change languages (coping the
corresponding script to OJ/BIN folder).
I ask you if it is not difficult to create a JAR file
which does the same. That we can use as a Language
option tool
PS it seems to me that GvSIG uses the same system
2) OJ needs documentation in other languages. I wait
for Uwe's new tutorial since I want to translate it in
Italian, too.
As I wrote in a former letter also the list of
functionalities has to be translates in other
languages.
This solution seems very useful. But I prefer also the
first one since working only on documentation
languages will create a separation between users of
different nationalities. Also the second solution
requires more job
PS if you think about a tool to change languages in
OJ, this probabily could work as an indipendent
software (not a plugin of OJ). It could be useful to
setup the language during OJ installation
Thanks for your attention
