Fellow Firefighters, While thinking about toolbars and such, I have been thinking about our current UI for enabling auto-translation and had an idea for collapsing this down to a single toolbar button. I was thinking that the single "Translation" toolbar button would bring up a menu which had 3 items: Disable Auto-Translation (which uses a checkmark to indicate status) Buddy's Language -> My Language -> Then the Buddy's Language item would bring up a submenu which would contain the list of available languages, and the My Language would contain the same list. These submenus would also have a checkmark to indicate the current selection. Also, I was thinking that it made sense to have the default values for these languages be the following: My Language = the language of the current translation being used. So those people using a Spanish localization of fire would have Spanish chosen as their default language. Buddy's Language would be saved in the Buddy Item. By default it would be the same as my language, but when changed in the auto-translation submenu, it would be change in the BuddyItem object. (and remembered after that point) That way, when a new chat window with a buddy was started, the auto-translation settings and languages would have a better chance of being ready right from the start. So that the very first message sent/received would be translated the same as the last chat window with that buddy. Unless there are strong objections, I would like to make this change. Alan |
