[Soc-2011-dev] Weekly Status Report 8 - 15 Jul - Garlic

[xiangquan xiao]

1) This Week
- Continue searching uncovered texts
- Midterm issues: Google's form, a video, a small conclusion to Mr. Mein (
attached below )
- The translation program at
http://code.google.com/p/blender-translationhas attracted Traditional
Chinese, French and Bulgaria
branches.

2) Next Week
- A drop-down menu to allow users change locale manually

3) Issues
- Meet a strange problem when merge from trunk. The software wouldn't load
the unifont.
It took me two days to locate it at the newest startup.blend.c, which always
load the default bfont.
I feel bad for the "datatoc"s, which could easily hide some important plots.

================
Midterm conclusion(2011-7-14):I've filled the midterm form. And I think it's
time for a small midterm-conclusion.

Main parts that have been completed:

1. I18N implementation design.
In the wiki there are detail points for both C and Python issues.

2. Dive into the source code and pick out target texts. About 90+% of them
have been handled, I think.

3. Start up an unofficial translation program on the googlecode.
It's mainly for Simplified Chinese, but now, Traditional Chinese, French and
Bulgaria have been involved. Maybe it's better to move it to the official
svn as early as possible.

Features to go:
A drop-down menu to change locale manually.

Other TODOs:
1. Cover texts as many as I can find.
2. (Important!) Test different languages under different platforms.( Until
now it has only been built under ubuntu, and only run with Simplified
Chinese. )

Drawbacks:
I'm not efficient on communications. I spend less time than most people on
Facebook/Twitter/G+/IRC, as well as mail-talking. Not to mention that the
BlenderCN chats on Chinese local clones of these products. I want to save
time for my work, but sometimes it seems also inefficient to work behind
closed doors
So, please do not hesitate to email me if I'm too uncommunicative.

Thank you very much :)
