i gave you credits ! thank you again ! and look into the "about" message ;-)

hi GEOSoft !

thanks for your suggestions. in fact i just added the language choice at last and i didn't think much about it. i wanted to avoid any complexity like lots of options and ini files. but your suggestion is welcome, i will add the output language to the ini. (of course you can do it yourself in your script copy, i guess :-) )

thank you jennico

edit: (thinking about this feature) okay, but then there are three languages: interface, input, output, right ? :-)

....and i will change the group ctrl text, too (well, this window just appears once and never again, no matter....

I just noticed another very minor issue.

You seem to have used a poor choice of hotkeys for the tray.

I had a text file open while doing some translation. I decides to use Ctrl+S to save the file and you can guess what happened then.

Certain hotkeys are generally reserved for a particular function and among those are

Ctrl+C = Copy

Ctrl+X = Cut

Ctrl+V = Paste

Ctrl+S = Save

Ctrl+A = Select All

Also if I've translated yor code properly.......

In your _Loschen() function you might want to add

GUICtrlSetState($Target, 256) to set the focus back in the input edit control. Just a thought.

[jennico]

hello geosoft,

i fumbled quite a while (one entire day) on the hotkey functions due to the fact that they have to work in eight languages and i absolutely wanted common hotkeys and avoid different sets for every language. you can imagine that this condition did not leave many options, of course s,a,e,r,i,l,t... are the most common characters in all languages. Furthermore these key are the best to reach when using ctrl....

what i can easily offer is changing ctrl with alt. i hope this will help.

yes the focus should stay on the inputbox, i thought about that and forgot it again. will be soon realized.

I luv this script

Wonderful work

[jennico]

It's me again !

thank you all for your kind praises. :">

i release here a new version v1.21

no big changes. I implemented all the suggestions and fixed one or two mini buggies. just two things to say:

1.) all the hotkeys changed from 'ctrl' to 'alt'.

2.) all settings will be saved and reestablished on restart. i implemented the ini writing during translation, too, so in case the script crashes or you want to abort the translation due to slow connection, the data will be saved, including the input and output boxes.

further suggestion are welcome (and rating, too ! )

bye jennico

it still seems to be a good idea to rightclick and open a new window in order to download the file !

Great Script, I love because I am trying to learn german. I did notice one thing that when I hit replace The source code shows up in the input box?

i gave you credits ! thank you again ! and look into the "about" message ;-)

It doesn't matter. I only do not understand, why your script has no translation on Russian. Is it is really difficult to translate your script on Russian? I tried without success.

[jennico]

hi flip,

"replace" enters the clipboard content to the inputbox. so if you just copied the scource code, it will paste the source code. no wonder.

hi valery,

i would really like to add Russian and any other languages are welcome. the problem is just the same as with Greek. AutoIt does not work with Unicode, only ANSI. So it does not display non-Latin characters. Even passing strings is not possible. but there is a trick i made with Greek. you have to open a new txt.file and enter your russian code by pasting. then you save the text file and you are prompted to save it in another code system than ANSI. you select "Big Endian" and save. then you change the keyboard language from Russian to English (or vice versa), open the file and again you copy the russian text and paste it into Autoit script. The result does not look like Russian, more like: "Àöp`T", but on a russian computer it will be diplayed correctly.

This is very complicated but if you try a while you will find it out. i would like to add it to the script. i will try to find it out, too.

It looks vry good now @jennico.

[flip209]

[jennico]

maybe i don't understand the rating system.

how can someone give a very positive feedback and then rate two or three stars ???

what does one star then mean ? good, but not very good ?

Each person have different standards, and they can rate whatever they want..just stick with it, rating doesn't really matter

There is also the fact that if you rate it early on in the thread and then changes are made to the script you can't go back and change the rating That means that if someone thought it deserved 3 stars and then the script is refined you can't go back and give it 4 or 5 stars.

Better not to rate at all until the script has been around for a while.
