Here’s your chance to help us with TWAIN 2.0… :)

[note: I’ve added the current translations to the end of this thread]

HowdyHi…

If you’ve read the sticky at the top of this forum, then you’re aware that we’re pushing to get TWAIN 2.0 finished up.

A large part of this work is wrapped up in the new Data Source Manager (DSM), and that leads me to the bit where folks can provide some help.

The Select Source dialog is the only time the DSM interacts directly with the user, and it does so to help pick which TWAIN Data Source to use. There are four strings on this dialog which need localizing:

Select Source
This is the heading of the dialog. If “Source” is too obscure for a translation, then I think it’s appropriate to translate “Select Driver”…

Sources:
This labels the listbox showing the available TWAIN Data Sources. The same thing applies, as above. If “Sources:” doesn’t translate well, please translate “Drivers:”

Select
This is the button which selects the currently highlighted TWAIN Data Source and closes the dialog…

Cancel
This is the button which closes the dialog without changing the TWAIN Data Source that was selected before the dialog was opened in the first place…

I’m a big fan of translation services like Babelfish, but this kind of work isn’t apt for that sort of tool. I’d rather not have people giggling because the localization is hopelessly wrong.

If you feel like you can translate the four strings, please tack what you have onto this thread. I believe the browser should be up to the task. If for some reason you can’t enter your text here, then please leave a message and we’ll figure out an alternate way to get the strings.

Everything in the twain.h file for the TWLG_ definitions is fair game. Don’t feel like you have to look there, though. The list is huge, so chances are that we have it covered, unless you’re thinking of translating into Latin or Sanskrit.

Finally, if you’re aware of a particular font that should be used for the localization that you’re supplying, please include that information. It’s not always appropriate to use the desktop font, especially if the user is selecting a different language.

If you have any questions, fire away. And thanks in advance to anyone who can help…

I hope it helps.

Many thanks!

I thought it would be a good idea to share where we are in the translation process. You’ll need to be browsing with a font that has a good bit of the unicode characters in it to view this properly.

If anything looks out of sorts. Or if you can suggest additional translations, it’ll be much appreciated… 🙂
