Danilo, is it possible to i18n-ize svg? :) This is just a sketch, I'm planning on making it in Scribus later on, so that I can produce a simple pdf, easy to download and easy to print. I18n would be done to the scribus-file I imagine, perhaps in different layers. I will put the source up real soon. You could use the svg aswell though, if you really, really want to. - Andreas -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

Luis P.S. Has anyone given any thought to how to i18n-ize these? Danilo, is it possible to i18n-ize svg? :) SVG is an XML file and I believe that intl-tools should be able to work with them in either of two ways: 1. Use xmlpo/poxml to extract the text, localise, then put back. 2. Put placeholders in the SVG file for the content to be localised and a preprocessor would generate a .po file from the poster-language.svg.in file. Requires putting manually those placeholders for each version of .svg file. Of course, the final work goes to the person actually doing this. :) Danilo? In addition, Inkscape can be invoked from the command-line to do simple processing such as exporting to PNG. This would help tremendously, as the generation of logos/posters can be fully automated. See the command-line parameters: http://www.inkscape.org/doc/inkscape-man.html For example, $ inkscape poster-language.svg --export-png=poster-language.png -w990 -h1265 It's crying to be automated. I had a look at http://ramnet.se/~nisse/diverse/temp/poster-language.png The resolution is not high so I can only guess that sodipodi does not deal correctly with complex scripts. For example, notice the word after Swedish (Svenska); there is an "accent" on its own that did not combine with the rest of the glyphs. If you can pinpoint those misplaced accents, you can pass as an expert in complex scripts :). I re-exported the same SVG file with Inkscape 0.42 and it appears to works better: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~simos/misc/posterlanguage-inkscape.png All in all, the tools work and work well.

Scribus svg support is not satisfying enough yet. http://ramnet.se/~nisse/diverse/temp/poster-language.png http://ramnet.se/~nisse/diverse/temp/poster-language.svg Amazing work! Inkscape 0.42 (just released) has good support for i18n, supporting many more languages. See: http://eyegene.ophthy.med.umich.edu/inkscape/ Test i18n file: http://www.inkscape.org/doc/examples/i18n.svg whose screenshot is shown at http://www.inkscape.org/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.42-CVS-i18n.png The language you mention, is it Thai or Taiwanese? Thai is a distinct script while Taiwanese is similar to mainland Chinese. Typically Thai is difficult to render, as there is reordering of the glyphs.
