Hi

| I would like to propose the following internationalisation (i18n) of
| podzilla. Here are following proposals, please shoot at them ;)

isn't it a lot simpler and better to just use Gettext like all other
Linux applications?

Same translation format for the translator and without the need to
invent a new way to do it in our own way...

Cheers.


| 1) The integer value of variable lang should be stored in
| /etc/podzilla.conf. in ipod.h is already:
|     #define LANGUAGE 30
| It can be used with:
|     ipod_get_setting(LANGUAGE)]
|
| 2) Language codes will have to be defined in ipod.h:
|     static int ENGLISH =3D 0;
|     static int FRENCH  =3D 1;
|     static int GERMAN  =3D 2;
|     static int DUTCH   =3D 3;
| This might nog be needed but a clear order should be defined and
| extended as more languages get added.
|
| 3) In .h or better in the .c files the translation should be
| defined. Here are three simple examples:
|
| static char *lang_language[] =3D { "English", "Fran=E7ais", "Deutsch",
| "Nederlands" };
|
| static char *lang_play[] =3D { "Play", "Jouez", "Abspielen",
| "Afspelen" }'
|
| static char *lang_month[][] =3D {
|     { "Jan", "Feb", ..., "Dec" },
|     { "jan", "fev", ..., "dec" },
|     { "Jan", "Feb", ..., "Dec" },
|     { "jan", "feb", ..., "dec" },
| }
|
| 4) Example usage would be like this
|
|     printf(lang_play[ipod_get_setting(LANGUAGE)]);
|
| 5) System output as errors and warning should not be translated
| since that makes it easier to refer on the internet to certain issues.
