Spanish translation for Haiku

1

Hi all,
I have registrered today but I’m following this forum quite a good moment ago :slight_smile:

I started using BeOS Personal Edition in the 90s, then I discovered the Developpers Edition (which I modified a lot to my liking)… afterwards I stopped my relationship with BeOS for a big time :frowning: I still read about it and tried Zeta… but not very enthusiastically.

For all this years I have been following the progress of BeOS -> OpenBeOS -> Haiku and even try some images within VirtualBox.

Now I’m thinking about come back to this wonderful world of BeOS that I never fully left, and one of the things I would like to start with is helping the community.

One of the things I modified in my customized version of BeOS was the language, I found a way (or any application) to translate all the menus, so everything on my system was in Spanish… but now I really don’t remember how I did it or the tool I used. I would like to start doing that but in a way that I can be useful for the community, and I ask you how to do it, and how I can help!!

Thanks all, I will be waiting your answers :smiley:

I will let others reply here, as simply don’t know. That is, as English is first and only(but not indigenous) language.

Anyway there are a few apps around that are multi-linguistic, but still need a Español version I.e. “art paint”, it would be good to have these apps even more multilingual.

You can start the translation with the documentation. You can get more info about it here: OsDrawer.

Bye! :slight_smile:

I think you meant the following app

I don’t remember if it was that application or another one, nevertheless I will think about start translating documentation.

The issue is that I don’t have too much free time, so translate the menus, messages, help docs,… of applications is quite fast, so you have the impression of progress really faster. By the other side, if I start translating documentation, you must translate really a lot before completing the task, although it can be useful for more people.

Thanks anyway!
