1. Night skin av mcborzu
2. Night startet som et personlig prosjekt med et mål; jeg ville lære hvordan man lager skin for XBMC. Det utviklet seg raskt til å bli et fullverdig skin. Blant hovedfunksjonene kan man nevne: TV-serie logoer, større episodeminiatyrer og mer realistiske 3D miniatyrer i enkelte visninger. Alt dette mens vi fortsatt har kjappe overganger mellom vinduer. Dette er bare noen av funksjonene i et skin som prøver å gjøre ting annerledes.
3. Du kan finne mer info i XBMC forumene.

norwegian.

Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

Hi McBorzu,


I am a great fan of your skin and would love to use it on the main TV at home.
Unfortunately the wife is not so keen on learning English and she kind of freeze every time she encounters a word that is not in French.

I believe you now see where I am getting at.

I have tried translating your skin on my own but I am a total noob and I don't know how to "localize" the label in the xml file. So I have ended up modifying the labels the hard way... and sometimes it makes the translated expression become invisible. (I still don't have figured out if it's the "description" field or the "label" field that I have to modify)


Anyway, I would be glad to help you build a French strings.xml but don't know how to create one baring every expression that needs translation.

If you are interested I would be happy to give you a *French* hand.

My email address is lucanoid@ymail.com


Cheers,

Luca

It's easy to translate skins:

1. Naviagate to skin.night/language/English/
2. Copy that folder and rename French
3. Then just translate the words

This section is from Confluence so you can copy the French translation from Confluence and save some time:

PHP Code:

Thanks for your swift answer!

In fairness there is a lot expressions that are not included in the string.xml
for example the "Press down to watch the trailer", or the "director" "rate"etc. from the poster view xml.

That was my point. ;-)

This is a quick french translation, not yet tested.
There may be some overlapping labels, some that are too long, etc.
BTW mcborzu, new string 31277 is the same as already used confluence string 31126.

Find the file here.
Based on last rev.


Anyone feel free to update it.



[FRENCH]J'ai fait ca rapidement sans regarder le résultat sur XBMC. Dès que la translation est commit j'essayerais de mettre rapidement a jour les plus gros bugs. Participez autant que vous pouvez, mais attention, ne citez pas des bouts de strings, il faut réuploader le fichier strings.xml a chaque fois, sinon il y a des problèmes d'unicode dans leur copier-coller anglais.[/FRENCH]
