The theme isn't in the chosen language

[pathe]

On my iPod photo, running on today's rockbox version,
I chose the iPodColorPlus theme.
And, as I'm french, I chose this language for the interface.

I works fine, but on the wps is written << Next >> instead of its french translation : << Suivant >>.

Is this a bug ?
Did I do something wrong ?
Is it possible to do something about it ?

Bonjour,

C'est au cause de a fait que cette texte est inscrit dans la code pour la WPS alors Rockbox ne traduire pas.  Si tu veut le changer, ouvre la fiche qui finit avec ".wps", trouve la place ou c'est ecrit "Next:" et change toi meme au "Prochaine".

Hi,

Rockbox doesn't translate what's written inside of WPS code so you'll have to change it yourself by modifying the .wps file.

Salut,
Marc

Holy crap...

Sorry I'm impressed by people who know more than one language, and so well too.

[MarcGuay]

Glad someone appreciates my Mutt Quebecois.  God knows people from France don't.  

Edit:  I just realized you're probably talking about mr. pathe, not me (stupid ego).  In which case, I was in awe as well.

[Job Van Dam]

Actually I was talking about both of you.

[pathe]

Thank you : it works perfectly.
Merci : ça fonctionne parfaitement.
Viel dank : es funktioniert am bestens.

Yes the whole rockbox menu is in the language I've chosen... except the database menu, which came back to english, I don't know why and when.
But it used to be in the language I've chosen.
Any idea ?

[MarcGuay]

Es-ce-que c'est juste dans la premier etage (Artist, Album, Search, etc), ou dans tous les autres aussi?  A tu modifier la tagnavi_custom_config fiche?

Is it just in the first level (Artist, Album, Search, etc), or in all of the other levels as well?  Have you modified the tagnavi_custom_config file?

Hi,

the Database menu is defined in the file /.rockbox/tagnavi.config and is not localized.
You can localize it by copying the tagnavi.config file to tagnavi_custom.config and translating the english strings in that file.
But it is important that you remove the line
'%include "/.rockbox/tagnavi_custom.config"'
from the tagnavi_custom.config file.

I created the tagnavi_custom.config file, commented the include line, translated the main menu...
Now the menu appears tranlated on the ipod, but under it is the untranslated version ! Two for the price of one !

Anyway : thanks for the information.

So now you need to change the line
%root_menu "main"
to
%root_menu "whatever you called your custom menu" (normally 'custom')

[pathe]

OK, it works fine. Thank you.

How do you display such a sign on the screen : " é " ?
If I type this, I just obtain a dotted square in place of this character.
Do I have to load another font,
or shall I write a special code,
like é in HTML ?

[bascule]

Yes, you need a different Rockbox font that contains the character(s) you are wishing to use.

This extremely useful site shows a font map for the Rockbox fonts:

[pathe]

In fact, rockbox uses the correct font and displays accented characters... except in the database menu. Is there a way to correct this ?

[bascule]

So, did changing the font not work for you?

The only other reason I can think of is that you are not saving your custom tagnavi as a UTF-8 filetype, although I think even ANSI supports 'é'.
