Hello,
The release of Astro Info 3.1 is near. Thanks to the great work of
Alexander R. Pruss, there are new features. The most important
improvements are full-screen support for 320x480 devices and
constellation support. Also there is a larger star catalog containing
more than 100,000 stars.
It would be nice to get up-to-date translations for this release. The
Catalan and Russian translations need updating. You just have to edit
a text file containing the translations; no programming skills are
necessary. You can use the German translation (de) as a starting
point, since this should be complete, now.
If you want to help, download the latest version of Astro.rcp, which
is a text file containing all translations, from svn:
https://astroinfo.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/astroinfo/trunk/astroinfo/source/
Please note that this text-file contains 8-bit characters (accentuated
characters, Cyrillic letters), so be careful to not corrupt them. Only
edit the section starting with TRANSLATION "xx", where xx is the
language code. Please send a short message that you want to work on
it, so it is not done twice.
If you have subversion, check-out the above directory and edit
"Astro.rcp". Afterwards, send me the diff (e.g.: svn diff Astro.rcp >
Astro.rcp.diff).
Alternatively, you can download "Astro.rcp" with a browser of your
choice from the above URL. In that case, also note the revision
number (currently 759) that is on top of the directory listing. After
editing send me the complete file and the revision number of your
download.
I can provide you with binaries to test your translation, or you can
compile them yourself. However, for the latter you need the latest
Palm SDK, prctools, pilrc, par, perl, Java SDK, subversion,
ImageMagick, htp, bash, zip, and make.
Regards,
Jochen
