Mhm, I'm afraid I'll not be able to translate this program, if you say, for example at the beginning "car" to eliza, she tells you "OH, DO YOU LIKE CARS", and I searched the word "car" in the source code, but I only found
Code: Select all
rep28a: db "OH, DO YOU LIKE CARS?",0
rep28b: db "MY FAVORITE CAR IS A LAMBORGINI COUNTACH. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CAR?",0
rep28c: db "MY FAVORITE CAR COMPANY IS FERRARI. WHAT IS YOURS?",0
which are some replies that eliza is able to give if she talks about cars, I have no idea how she is able to determine how I've written the word car since there is apparently nothing for me to translate...
OK, I have translated Freecell, there is only a bug as you can see in the image i uploaded, and I would prefer to fix it befor submitting the code.

There is word "CAR" in "OH, DO YOU LIKE CARS?".
About Freecell: it seems that you have to fix text output (like in C4).
Btw, I hope someone (or I) will add instructions about new cool macros, which allows to use UTF-8 in source files.

Yes, this is one of the response of eliza, and I have translated it, the problem is that I ca not figure out where in the source code eliza reads what I've written and get the word car...
@0CodErr
thank you

1. Kolibri
You need Borland C++ and FASM 1.64 (NOT newer)
cpp2asm.bat will compile C++ to tasm, then convert tasm to fasm.
Then you need to add Kolibri header to f_checkers.asm
2. Linux
Type "make". It should works, but if not you have to fix it somehow.
3. DOS/Windows
You'll need Borland C++. You need to add checkers.cpp to project. In Windows you need to add win-chk.rc. For DOS you need to link it to egavga.bgi
I don't sure if it is about cross-compiling, or "Windows", "Linux" and "Kolibri" are target OSes for this code, so I suggest to use first way. Obviously, it's for cross-compiling from DOS/Windows/DosBox.

If I were you I would have focused in translation system applications first of all.

Thanks for the translation, I forgot to mention, I use GNU/Linux, and I tried compiling it using make and I got all this warnings and some errors, I have no idea how to fix them.
I can't crosscompile it if also windows is needed, since I do not have a windows license.
If I were you I would have focused in translation system applications first of all.
It's not that bad as idea, the problem is I have no idea about assembly, fasm, c-- and other languages (I have only programmed in C, delphi, java and a little of c++, and I've only done simple programs).
I noticed that most of the games where "small" programs, only one source code file per program, with some exceptions of course.
I'll give a look to the system applications.

edit:
for example, I'm looking now at the source code of the browser (folder cmm/browser). It's written in c--, and I have no clue how to compile it (I remeber that I searched a compiler under debian or GNU/Linux, I've also found the homepage of the c-- project (
http://www.cminusminus.org/), but I've not understood anything.
Second problem, how should I include the multilanguage support? Using the lang.inc files as in the games?
I also thought in c-- there would have been something like prntf, as in c and c++, i guess I'm wrong since I was not able to find anything, but, for example, in the file cmm/browser/include/menu_rmb.h, there is the following structure:
Code: Select all
char *ITEMS_LIST[]={
//"Old HTMLv F12",255,
"View in Tinypad F3",52,
"WIN F5",54,
"DOS Ctrl+D",04,
"KOI Ctrl+K",11,
"UTF Ctrl+U",21,
"Line breaks ON" ,03,
"Free image cache" ,02,
//"TrueType fonts" ,05,
0};
should I define another structure? or should I put an if-else inside the structure?
Maybe there are some simpler system programs to translate, if someone knows them please let me know!

You have to use wine in order to compile C-- software with Sphinx C--. But I suggest you not to translate HTMLv - it's pretty complicated right now. Better look at /programs/system. Also, you'd better use new cool UTF macroses :3 Although I didn't tried them yet, and therefore can't tell you how to use them

Wine could be a good idea, I'll search something about it.
You are right, I've already translated something under the folder /system, I've again a problem with the legth of the strings, like before, problem is, again, I have no idea how the code works, so please help me

o_O What is this? I know nothing about this program. But it seems that
1) It is obsolete
2) It is have something wrong with label positions - again

To make it easier to help you - you have to show your code here.
P.S. This program was written by me, but for a long time is already possible to open and close the tray in KFM and KFAR.

@SoUrcerer
I've found this program in system/cd_tray, and the labels are wrong because in italian the words are longer, the english version of this program is fine.
@Mario_r4
The only code I changed where the labels adding an if-else structure with a lang variable, do you want me to post them?
Problem is, I have no idea how the labels are defined (I'm not an assembly programmer), should I post source code of the whole program?
