Hi Satoru,
Translating Ringlink into Japanese sounds like a great idea. :)
There are a few encoding schemes available for Japanese characters,
and Ringlink is currently set to use EUC-JP for a language database
created from a file named 'ja.po'. I think that the encoding scheme
should be choosen that typically is most convenient to Japanese users.
You mention Microsoft's Shift_JIS, and if you think that's the best
choice - you certainly know it better than me - then let's change
Ringlink to Shift_JIS.
To figure this out can you support Shift_JIS for Japanese?
You can easily change it in your copy of Ringlink for testing
purposes. At the bottom of rlmain.pm, there is a subroutine named
'charset'. Please change the line
ja => 'EUC-JP',
so it reads
ja => 'Shift-JIS',
and let us know if it makes a difference.
when it is suport Shift_JIS and when I finished translate to
Japnese I will send you language file.
I do look forward to it. Don't hesitate to ask for help (not with the
actual translation, though... :) ), would you encounter other
difficulties.
Do I have to be a mailing list member? I am not menber right now so
if I have to please let me know.
Well, yes. This time I approved your message manually, but I ask you
to please subscribe to Ringlink-open. If you click the "Mailing List"
link at the Ringlink Homepage, you'll find the necessary info.
