Hi, everybody!
Some quick news on the Ubiquity Slideshow front... (<http://launchpad.net/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu>) The translation stuff has finally come full circle. Through a tweak to the build script and an awesome bit of Javascript (if I may say so myself), the slideshow can be told to use a specific locale via a URL hash argument. This is in the format of "#locale=en-CA", for example. The slideshow is aware of which translations are available for each slide, so it automatically loads the slides with the requested locale. When that locale is unavailable, it falls back to the default locale. New translation templates are being uploaded. They are currently waiting for approval on Launchpad for some reason. I am sticking with different translation domains for each slide since it feels a bit tidier with Rosetta's interface and we don't really have redundant strings to worry about now. (I did just make an alternative branch where the .pot files are all merged, though, so that's available if desired). Slideshow.py, although horribly uncommented, should serve as a reasonable demonstration of how this can be used by another application. Basically, this feels like it's good to go, but I'd like to hear what anyone else thinks is needed / broken on the technology front. If this is indeed good enough, that means it's time to focus entirely on writing! It would be nice to put up a Wiki page or something along those lines, where people can post their versions of how the slides should be written, so we can get the content flowing. Unless someone beats me to it, I will try to get to that in the next couple of days. Bye, Dylan PS: I also discovered that Webkit.Webview has an extremely awesome set_transparent method which (!) makes the webview transparent! This works for pages with no backgrounds or with rgba backgrounds (eg: png images that have alpha channels). After some fiddling I (thankfully) decided that the existing background is cooler, but it's a neat bit of functionality regardless.
