[Scidvspc-users] Book Suggestions & Chinese Translation needed?

[Ashwin S. <hif...@gm...>]

Hello everyone,

  

First of all, thanks for doing a great job on Scidvdpc. I've decided to start
using that over Chessbase.

Still, there are many functions that could be tweaked/added of course. I'm not
a big programmer myself, but I could help a bit in the translation department.
Do you need / Is it possible to translate Scid in Chinese? If yes, I could do
that (both simplified & traditional). It would be my very first 'job' on
an open source project ever, so it would be nice if someone explained me how
to start exactly.

  

For the 'book tuning' tool I got a few suggestions. First of all would it be
possible to work with colours (e.g. green for good move, black for unchecked,
red for bad more, blue for interesting, yellow for dubious, etc. I think
that's the system that's used in aquarium, or at least sth similar).

Secondly (and I haven't seen that one before): Is it hard to impletement a
'comment' feature (for adding comments on a certain move)?  I know that
polyglot books were intended for computer chess, but if you could add comments
than they would do more than fine for human books as well.

  

Also, I used to be a fairly decent chessplayer, so if any testing or so I
could help.
