Is it possible the Media Cenert to get in german?

KingSparta · « **Reply #1 on:** March 24, 2004, 07:24:32 am »

there is a language file in xml format that you can edit, i forget the name of it.

If you edit it i would back it up, a new install may overwrite it.

DJ_Hazelwood · « **Reply #2 on:** March 24, 2004, 07:29:46 am »

It is \Media Center\Data\Default Resources\Resource.xml.

driemert · « **Reply #3 on:** March 24, 2004, 09:09:14 am »

thanks for answer.
My english is very bad.
I hope it is going.
I have following question:
With which TV-Card is the Media Center going.
I work with DEC 3000(Hauppauge) and Radeon 8500 All in Wonder. It is going too with Skystar2?
Thankd for help

Driemert, your are not alone. There are some german guys in this Forum.
My english is bad too, but i learned that the people in this forum are very flexible

. If you are totally lost, feel free to post in german. We will try to translate...
I understand your question, but sorry, i can't help you in this detail.

called the file, but I cannot find the.
language.

Das ist gut. Ich habe
die Datei: MediaCenter\datei\DefaultResources\Resourcexml.
aufgerufen und komme nicht weiter, finde kein File mit
deutscher Sprache.

DJ_Hazelwood · « **Reply #6 on:** March 24, 2004, 10:47:35 am »

There is no german resource.xml
Someone must translate the file.
But i don't think you can translate the whole user-interface with this file,
just parts of it (menus).

Gibt es auch nicht.
Jemand muss das Ganze übersetzen.
Ich denke aber nicht, dass die ganze Oberfläche mit diesem File auf Deutsch umgestellt werden kann, sondern nur Teile (Menüs).

I translated the resource file some time ago, unfortunately it covers only a small portion of all the english wording, so that you end up with a mix of English/German version of MC, which does not look really pretty.

J River should think about the fact that there is a 95 million people market over here in Germany, Austria, Switzerland with probably a higher average buying power than the US market. If you add French, Spain and Portuguese it grows definetely bigger than the US market alone.

Just a note, depending on how MC is written, Internationalization (I18N) can be a BIG PITA!

Starting nationalistic pride...

> with probably a higher average buying power than the US market

No...not when averaged...look at this 2002 data (Gross National Income per capita)...

Country: GNI (in US $'s)
Australia: 19,740
Austria: 23,390
Belgium: 23,250
Canada: 22,300
Denmark: 30,290
Finland: 23,510
France: 22,010
Germany: 22,670
Greece: 11,660
Hong Kong, China: 24,750
Hungary: 5,280
Ireland: 23,870
Israel .. (not given)
Italy: 18,960
Japan: 33,550
Mexico: 5,910
Netherlands: 23,960
Portugal: 10,840
Spain: 14,430
Sweden: 24,820
Switzerland: 37,930
United Kingdom: 25,250
United States: 35,060

Although these are not Disposable Income figures, my bet would be that the US pulls further ahead due to one reason...lower taxes (no VAT here thank god). But yes...Europe as a market is larger than the US (close though)...

Country: Population
Australia: 19,581,080

Better support for Internationalization would be a good thing for JRiver.

...ending nationalistic pride...resuming political pessimism...

The higher average of the US is probably due to the fact that very few possess the biggest piece of the cake with many left with a few crumbs

Speaking of nationalistic pride, take a look at Switzerland - seems to be the Number One in GNI

The big question is - for how long?

xen-uno · « **Reply #11 on:** March 24, 2004, 01:19:08 pm »

Maybe...but I would think that the ratio of haves/have nots is pretty close across the board for the more highly developed countries.

That Switzerland...it's so hot right now

Well ... Sorry for being in the EU (I'm from Germany)

But please ... xen-uno ...
Please let us know what the plans for the the future are.

DOES A GERMAN VERSION COME OR NOT ?

Or does a workaround exist ?
I'm sure many people, including me would support the translation project !

I it that hard adding the possibility of having localised language files ?

Pleae don't let us die dumb and stupid ...

Thanks

JimH · « **Reply #15 on:** April 08, 2004, 10:23:54 am »

We currently have no plans for a German version. Sorry.

fex · « **Reply #16 on:** April 08, 2004, 10:31:40 am »

With all the help you could get here over the forum?
It's a pity.

hit_ny · « **Reply #17 on:** April 08, 2004, 10:59:12 am »

Help from the forum won't help much unfortunately. If they have not taken internationalisation into account while desiging, Unicode etc, it will be quite hard to retrofit. Not hard just *tedious*

Given the international nature of this public board and potential interest from the EEC, this seems like a *HUGE* oversight.

i suggest the developers read this

Media Center is all fully Unicode. (UTF-16)

The only exception being 3rd party programs we call like LAME, etc.

However, that is not the same as having every piece of text in a lookup table that can be switched for differenent languages. Doing that is a very large undertaking and would also slow our ability to make new improvements and changes.

fex · « **Reply #19 on:** April 08, 2004, 12:52:37 pm »

From the 'outside' sometimes all seems to be easy done.

I think (for todays situation, suppose your're a little bit under pressure...) time is better invested in new improvements!

Thanks for your answer.

Vermaje · « **Reply #20 on:** April 11, 2004, 03:54:58 am »
