Re: [jdev] jabber localization project?

2008-08-20 Thread Lastwebpage

my two cents...
I am not an expert in this license things,
but I know that some license influence the source, the work and the
destination.
Let's assume this localization project use license A, but the client
use license B. there must not any license violations between A and B.
I have no idea if all license allow this.

If it's in the public domain, anyone can use it for any reason with any 
license (the public domain is not viral). Another possibility is the MIT 
License or a BSD-style license. Those are as open as possible without 
being public domain.

Re: [jdev] jabber localization project?

2008-08-20 Thread Jonathan Dickinson
You can probably get away with most licenses by seeing the file as opaque and 
loading it at boot up. I.e. You don't copy and paste a single thing from it, 
rather you read it and fill internal tables and whatnot.

But I would _really_ like to do client lookups via a .Net resx file, and I am 
sure that other people have their preferences.

Why not simply setting up some kind of a dictionary system? There is
nothing illegal about copying a translation found in a dictionary...

We have two things:

1. Definitions of all these terms. For that we might be able to borrow 
from ninjawords, thefreedictionary.com (their terms of use look too 
restrictive to me), or wiktionary, for example:


http://ninjawords.com/happy

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/happy

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/happy

2. Our recommended translations of those English terms into other languages.
