Translating with a text editor is not comparable at all to translating using a localization tool. > Because of the problems I'm still having with iLocalize, and because I > don't know it, I would personally prefer if you would use either > Localization Suite or AppleGlot.

I don't think that the fact you don't know iLocalize can be a valid motivation to prevent contributors using it; once translations are created, they can be edited using any software. I completely disagree with the statement that Localization Suite interface is pretty intuitive. Actually, is the worst documented software I ever saw. The disk image came with two applications, Localization Manager and Localizer. On the website there is no documentation. Localization Manager has no help. Localizer has a short and outdated help; it only says to open a .loc file, with no mention of how to create it. With iLocalize, for comparison, I can simply import the application bundle and export the file to be committed, doing both AppleGlot and ADviewer work in one step. However, as there is a requirement for Tiger compatibility, I finally found a way to make the translation Tiger-compatible (I have to install Xcode 2.5, downloading from ADC website). I'll made the commit once the localization is Tiger-compatible. -- Mauro Mazzieri ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Skim-app-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/skim-app-users
