How can I help Rockbox development ?

Noxneo:
Hello, this topic is mostly for developers. I don't know if it should be posted here, but I didin't wan't to harass devs with MPs.

I have used Rockbox for quite a while know, and I would like to get more involved with it (being familiar with computing in general). I used iPod Linux (being a Linux user myself), but I found out Rockbox was better (IMO, of course :P).

I can code in C fairly well (I know a bit about the SDL too, even I don't think this is of any utility for Rockbox), even though I know absolutely nothing of embedded software programming.

But I think the major thing I could help with is translation, being a native french speaker. I have done several translations from English to French in the Gnome French Translators Team, by the way.

So I just wanted to know if you needed me in any way, or not.

Thanks :P

Hi Noxneo-

Though I am not a developer, I can point you in the direction of a couple of Wiki pages that might get your started:

First Time Guide to Rockbox Development:  http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DevelopmentGuide

Index of other wiki pages for developers:  http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DocsIndex#For_Developers

Rockbox mailing lists (if you haven't already done so, you should subscribe to the developer's mailing list):
http://www.rockbox.org/mail/

I would also encourage you to visit the Rockbox IRC channel at #rockbox on freenode.net, as that is where most of the developer discussion occurs.

I hope this helps.

Noxneo:
Thanks a lot ;)

However, I didn't not find anything about translation. Does that mean that translation is done with, or not a priority ?

Llorean:
One place to start could be with the localization. Take the French.lang file and compare it with the English.lang file, making sure all non-deprecated strings are translated in a way you feel is effective.

Noxneo:
Last question, and I get to work  ;D

Which program do you recommand to mess around with lng files ?
