Re: [Pharo-users] I18n in pharo
There’s an online translation service for XLIff files (well, there’s quite a few but most I’ve found use human translators, and as a result cost a fair bit). It’s not free either, but for 2-3 languages it’s relatively reasonable at $19/mo., and a couple of months’ subscription would allow for a fair number of automated translations which could be quickly tweaked. https://lingohub.com/pricing/ Mojito allows you to integrate the Xliff translation as part of a Travis CI build. It’s written in Java but supports localization for a number of languages, which implies it wouldn’t take much modification to support Pharo. https://github.com/box/mojito There’s also a number of Xliff editors on GitHub, including a plugin for Oxygen XML, which I happen to use when I do edit XML rather than using IADS with SGML and exporting XML. Not sure if this is the kind of thing you’re looking for, but it might be a quick way to get key applications’ text translated and be used by a relatively simple Pharo / Seaside tool. It’s even possible that a decent modification of Mojito might allow semi-automated translations using LingoHub.

My code is on STHub http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~TorstenBergmann/Gettext and it is not yet fully usable and so far still unfinished But one can load the project still in Pharo 7 using Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'TorstenBergmann' project: 'Gettext'; configuration; load.

Re: [Pharo-users] I18n in pharo
Hi torsten Thanks for your summary. I was lost with all the efforts around. Two points: - I do not think that Pharo IDE should be multilingual - I would love to have one or two strong solutions for Application internationalisation. Now Questions: - what do you mean by propretiary solution. The license is MIT. - I think that it would be good to have your solution and getText ready to be loaded and for me this would be nice. Now I have a question how people developing seaside components manage to have internationalised version?

Re: [Pharo-users] I18n in pharo
Hilaire I think that Pharo is getting a lot more modular. Do you imagine that we can reload Morphic? That we have a minimal image that does not rely on the compiler? and that we can reload the compiler, SUnit and more. We will start another pass because we will run an experience to get microPharo. Did you see the amazonLambda experience? Many people are telling to us that Pharo and that the system is improving and it is really improving. Now we do not make progress without breaking eggs. And we are cleaning but probably things that you do not care: such as startup list, streams, layouts We will throw away a lot of code with Bloc too. > A cleaner Pharo will help there. > > To be frank, I found later Pharo releases not inspiring.

Most of the web pages I want to scrape use javascript to construct the DOM, which makes Soup. XMLHTMLParser, etc. useless. I've extended Torsten's Pharo-Chrome library and use that to navigate the DOM in a way similar to Soup: https://github.com/akgrant43/Pharo-Chrome This gets around the issue with javascript since it waits for the browser to load the page, run the javascript and construct the DOM.

Just for completeness: This constraint was actually introduced in Pharo 6 around March 2017. I think it was issue #19717 (https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/19717/FileSystem-workingDirectory-wrong-after-image-moved-to-a-new-folder). Before that the workingDirectory was held in an instance variable and could be changed (although it looks like no one actually did that). #20164 (https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/20164/Caching-DiskStore-defaultWorkingDirectory) put the workingDirectory back in to a class variable since the performance gain is significant (one application saved 12 seconds from the change). >This is no longer true for every case. >Now, the workingDirectory is aligned with the process' working directory > (This is the equivalent to getcwd() in C, pwd command in linux, $PWD in bash).

[Pharo-users] RB refactoring rewrite variable to a symbol
Hi, how can I rewrite a(n instance) variable to a symbol? E.g. [IN] something: aSomething something := aSomething [OUT] something: aSomething self write: aSomething into: #something I can capute the input just fine... ``@var := ``@arg but I have no idea how to convert the var into a symbol (or string). Thanks, Peter
Re: [Pharo-users] RB refactoring rewrite variable to a symbol
Hi Peter, Hi Peter, you should try {:node :dic | ... } to handle that. Something like: RBParseTreeRewriter new replace: '`@var `{:node :dic | dic at: #varName put: node name} := `@arg' with: 'self write: `@arg into: `{:dic | RBParser parseExpression: ''#'', (dic at: #varName) }'. You need to adjust, I haven't checked if this is correct ;). Thierry Le 11/11/2017 à 17:17, Peter Uhnák a écrit : Hi, how can I rewrite a(n instance) variable to a symbol? E.g.

[Pharo-users] deployment of pharo applications
Well, i've got very extensive feedback for i18n of applications, there are few solutions i can use, despite there is no united way embedded into pharo view on application design. That's ok, i can do something for my one taste (i prefer it to be a part of SPEC framework or something like this). Another stumbling block is application deployment. I've heard about some "Launcher" but ... what is it? what it does? where to get it? In Cincom VW deployment means: - get rid of all we don't use in image. - test image for successful run - delete all sources (hide it from disassembler) - lock\hide all excessive menus, tools or any backdoor to launch Smalltalk IDE or execute smaltalk code presented as text. - pack image and VM together with specified name of main executable. What can i do with Pharo? Does it have unified method to deploy pharo applications? I didn't find that method, and i ought to do some messy stuff "by hand". It will be very useful to do some steps in that direction. I want Pharo to be comfortable tool for application development. Like Delphi or C++ (where i came from but don't want to get get back to, after Smalltalk any other platform seems imperfect for me). Faithfully yours, Vikenti Potapov.
Re: [Pharo-users] RB refactoring rewrite variable to a symbol
Hi Peter, i assume from your question "RewriteTool maintained?" that you want to make a RBTransformationRule, right? if yes, i once had a similar problem and overwrote only #checkMethod: checkMethod: aMethod | arg | arg := aMethod argumentNames first asString. self initialize. self rewriteRule replace: '| ``@temporaries1 | `.@Statement' with: ('| ``@temporaries1 | {1} blahblah ifTrue: [ ^ {1} adaptToNumber: self andSend: #{2}]. `.@Statement' format: {arg. aMethod selector}). ^ super checkMethod: aMethod not too elegant, but it works. you could strip ":" from the method selector and do something similar. werner On 11/11/2017 05:17 PM, Peter Uhnák wrote: > Hi, > > how can I rewrite a(n instance) variable to a symbol? > > E.g. > > [IN] > something: aSomething > something := aSomething > > [OUT] > something: aSomething > self write: aSomething into: #something > > > I can capute the input just fine... ``@var := ``@arg > but I have no idea how to convert the var into a symbol (or string). > > Thanks, > Peter >

Re: [Pharo-users] I18n in pharo
P6 is definitely a better IDE compare to previous version, and for coming Calypso looks fantastic, but P6 is a worst vehicle for a desktop application. There is much more code included and you are on your on to shrink/clean it to deploy your desktop application to make it looks and behave user friendly. May be for a specialized audience it could be just fine to deploy as is. About my perception on Pharo, from a distant POV, I see parallel/overlapping/contiguous layers like Morphic, Athens, Sparta, Bloc, Brick, Spec, GT, Polymorph all this looks confusing for me and I really don't know or understand where to put my eggs. When I took a look at Pharo keyboard shortcut, it seems to be -- without been sure 100% -- there are two different implementations. One from GT and another one, probably a legacy one. How can it happen? Then you wonder about other part of the system. It makes fells like changes/implementations are not coherent, and you don't really fell the environment as coherent or trustful. May be the twist is ontological, Pharo (and Squeak) taking too much responsibilities and not delegating enough to the host environment: GUI, Freetype, Canvas. The energy required is then out of reach or the needed coherence in teams works too complex. Don't know, just blind guesses, I will now shut up.

But I really find P6 more consistent than what I used to try in the past (last squeaks up to 3.9 and firsts pharo). -- Dr. Geo http://drgeo.eu

I want to get these esug videos, but i've searched through the whole pharo site and i haven't found them ... :( I appreciate if you point me where to find help on working with minimal image\deploying with Pharo. And i also think this very important information should be available on pharo site at conspicuous place. What about Dr.Geo - i've downloaded this program to test from official site (http://www.drgeo.eu/download#TOC-PC-Mac-GNU-Linux). I launched DrGeo.bat, as it noted in instruction. It shown me console window and Pharo command line options. That's all. It didn't start. I think, the reason is - also cyrillic paths, but ... who knows? And also i mean some simple and understandable deployment tool (as in Cincom VW exists) but not manual-written bash scripts. This tool asks me what class\accessor send open message, asks what to strip and how to pack my image. Few simple steps and i have perfectly cleaned minimal image with all image started methods tuned to load necessary class. It's really cool stuff. It's a pity, my low-level SmallTalk knowledge (VW + Pharo) is not enough to port this tool or create the new one. Please, understand me right, i don't criticize pharo, but i'm trying to understand what to do and how to do with less efforts for me.

This is not intended to be offensive or provoking. I just wonder if an open source project is the right thing for you. Pharo is emerging and has quite some pace doing so. This is both good and bad - at many levels. Commercial offerings may be a lot slower and thus less of a "moving target" (not sure I am citing you, but I know I read this in one of the threads about the current state of Pharo just these days), but they are pretty much focussed on issues like deployment and stable APIs.
