hi all, i did a quick translation of the property-files in german. If you can use them, grap the zip-file with them here: http://www.dampf-fabrik.de/renderman/Archimedes.zip If you want, i could translate as next the user-manual, but this will need at least a week of time. I'm very interested in helping this project, not only with translation, also with programming. When i've finished the manual-translation i let you know. have a nice time Mario Fichtenmayer |

Hi, Mario! Sorry it took us a while to answer. We had a busy weekend =) Thanks a lot for the german translation, we'll definately include it in the next release. And yes, it would be cool if you could translate the user manual. I must say, though, it isn't always up to date with the program. So if you see anything that's different, tell us about it so we may correct it in the other versions too =) And about programming, that would be nice. Do you know Java? Let's keep in touch about this. Have a nice translation =D Mariana On 11/4/06, Mario Fichtenmayer <ma...@da...> wrote: > > hi all, > > i did a quick translation of the property-files in german. > > If you can use them, grap the zip-file with them here: > http://www.dampf-fabrik.de/renderman/Archimedes.zip > > If you want, i could translate as next the user-manual, but this will > need at least a week of time. > > I'm very interested in helping this project, not only with translation, > also with programming. > When i've finished the manual-translation i let you know. > > have a nice time > Mario Fichtenmayer > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Oi Mariana, i waited for a reaction before i wrote more details ;-) About my background: I'm studying economical informatics at the university of Mannheim / germany. My main topics were computer graphics, software development (mainly in java) and logistics. OK, the last point isn't useful for archimedes, i know ;-) Since a practical training a few years ago i'm also a fan of eclipse and the rich client platform. I made also experiences in using cad-programs (Nemetschek and AutoCAD), because before university i learned and worked at an engineer's office for steel structures as a technical drawer for about three years. But this is six years ago and since then i only used 3d-programs like Cinema4D (not any more) and recently Rhino3D and Blender (planned) for pet projects like you can see on my homepage. But i miss a simple to use tool which gives me the possibilites to construct fast and exact 3d-structures. So you see, Archimedes is a huge source for ideas and experiences for me. There is yet another personal reason for me to do this. I'm originally brazilian. :-) But i grew up in germany, so unfortunately i never learned portugues :-( I try to overcome this disability, but until i feel save in the language i prefer to write in english (needs only a few years ;-)). But now back to the subject: I have an issue with the documentation: I had heavy problems to build the pdf out of the tex-sources under windows. For example the file estilo.sty was missing in the sources, but i googled it in your old repository(?). But even with this i got some errors during building (finally i got a more or less complete pdf in portugues). I try to write the german version as a docbook-file, which is said to be easily convertible to pdf/tex. This is only a test, i have no experience with this, so i don't know yet whether this is a better alternative. I let you know when i finished it. The contents are another point. Perhaps i overread it, but i haven't found a description of the Leader-command. I left this out in the translation of the property-files, till i know the function of it. There might be yet another issue with the property files concerning the special letters like ä,ö,ü in german or the portugues letters (com os acentos agudo, circunflexo e grave por exemplo). I don't know whether you can read words like "rückgängig" as they are supposed to be. They work on german systems but under other languages i have no idea. I have to invest solutions like unicode for this before i write more about it. That's it for now. I wish you a nice day Mario |
