From Imprudence

This is a list of features in Imprudence that need to have their text translated into non-en-us languages. The viewer handles translation through language-specific xml files found in the default skin's folder. For example, the French language is found in the \skins\default\xui\fr directory. Once you've changed the files, please post them as either a patch or in full (see Contributing Code).

This list is a work in progress.

How to translate the UI

These examples come from \skins\default\xui\fr\floater_instant_message.xml:

Buttons

For buttons, translate the label="TEXT" parameter ONLY. Changes to name="TEXT" will cause the control not to work.

Example:

	<button label="Envoyer" name="send_btn"/>

Text

There are two forms of text the viewer uses. One form is a string, which is just a word or a phrase the viewer needs to find.

	<string name="session_start_string">
		Début de la session avec [NAME], veuillez patienter.
	</string>

The other is a Text property, which lays out a specific piece of text in the UI:

	<text name="title_string">
		Envoyer un message instantané à [NAME]
	</text>

Both are translated the same way, by editing the text between the opening and closing tag.

Menus

The following menu labels need translation:

Main Menu

menu_inventory.xml

• File > Import
• File > Logout
• Edit > Refresh Appearance ("Rebake" in LL's viewers)
• View > Web Browser
• View > Zoom Level
• View > Advanced Menu
• World > Set Busy
• World > Stop Animating My Avatar (formerly "Stop Animations")
• Tools > Selection Options
• Tools > Return Object

Inventory

floater_inventory.xml

• Search > By Name
• Search > By Creator
• Search > All

Mini-Map

menu_mini_map.xml

(Most of these might already be translated in LL's Snowglobe viewer or trunk by now. I'd check.)

• Zoom Close
• Zoom Medium
• Zoom Far
• Center on Camera (prolly not the final name for this. Controls the behavior of mini-map panning)
• Rotate Mini-Map
• Show Word Map
• Stop Tracking...
• Profile

Advanced

menu_viewer.xml

• The entire Advanced menu needs to be translated, if anyone's honestly up for it. It's not a priority, though (LL might have finally gotten around to doing this themselves; worth checking).

Various Strings

strings.xml

(at the bottom)

• Landmark created string
• New home page set string

If you can't find the text in xml

There are two other places it could be:

• strings.xml
• teleport_strings.xml

If it's not there, more than likely Linden Lab hardcoded it into the viewer source. Let us known on the ImpDev mailing list so we can fix it. Or better yet, if you're a developer, submit a patch to make that text translatable!
