[Xerte-dev] HTML5 report

Interesting. Fay pointed out that Firefox won't play mp3 files, I was surprised. So in the Xenith project we will have to consider how to manage html5 audio because there is not a common format that works in all browsers. WTF.

I don't know if you have come across this site, but they keep updating their assessment of html5 across the various platforms.

If you haven't seen their report before you may find it useful.

Hello Julian,

Just wanted to wish you well with the Xenith project meetings later this week. Thanks for the invite, unfortunately I have other commitments.

I shall follow the developments with interest, particularly those relating to any facilities for the generation of new page types.

Kind regards

Johnathan

We are meetng wth some developers from EDINA here in Nottingham 25th and 26th April, to discuss approaches to the Xenith Project. A lot of that discussion is relevant here - there is a very open agenda right now. Anyone, if you fancy coming along, let me know.

Subject: [Xerte-dev] Translation support of Wizard

Julian,

(or any other person that is able to work on the flash code)

I added translation support to the wizard, i.e. I am trying to
accomplish that.  That will be the final step for this release.

-  We will have the code for a complete translated version of XOT
- Only the Editor will remain in English, I think that is acceptable for
now.. I don't have the time to add translation for that at this point.

I've got two issues.

1. I somehow have to embed a language code t=in a project, to be able to
set the language correctly when reopening a project. What is the best
way to do that?
2. I can't get the labels of the two check boxes (Advanced and Language)
changed into a new language string. Could you please have a look at
attached .fla what I am doing wrong, cq. missed?

What did I change?

1. Added some attributes to the language-config.xml file
2. Added a language chooser in the Pages menu of the editor
3. Pass the 'language code' to the wizard as a third option
4. Created  English and Dutch wizard language files
5. Used these in attached .fla file

Everything is committed, except attached .fla, because I want to figure
out what I did wrong with the check boxes, and the translation is not
complete yet.

NOTE:
1. The wizard already had a version of XML.prototype.toObject, but that
version expects unique XML nodes throughout the file (so no set of
<item> for a combo box etc). I wanted to keep the look of the xml
relatively close to what you did for the engine, but I didn't want to go
over the wizard to change all the code if I changed the toObject that
interprets the xwd. So I added a second version XML.prototype.toArrObject.
2. Most of the work is done in a function called setTranslation (line
2533) that is called after the language file has successfully been read
in (in function  init)

Tom
