keyword_i18n resolution_ type_bug | by Paul Wise pabs3@...


In the skirmish screen some strings are untranslatable:

Team A / Team B / etc

The number under the colour flags.

The difficulty slider: OFF / EASY / HARD

I don't know of a easy way to fix this, since the space is very limited for the team selection, and the slider, we can't draw on top of a widget. For the number under the flag, what is the problem with that ?

Can't you just scale the text down so it fits within the space available and render it non-antialiased?

For the number under the flag, it prevents translation to languages that do not use the characters 0-9 for their numbers. printf("%d") should handle creating that text for those languages. As you can see on Wikipedia there are a number of languages that do not use Hindu-Arabic numerals (0-9):

I hope pending means that you have fixed it in SVN rather than the bug will be autoclosed in a certain number of days.

I'll see what I can do with the text scaling.

For pending, it should have toggled off the pending state when you replied, but, as you can see, you had a error.

Will manually disable the plugin, and reset the status of this ticket.

Sorry about the noise that the manual reset job will cause.

Another issue is novideo.ogg. That should instead be rendered with QuesoGLC and translated to other languages.

Figure out a better way to handle this. Perhaps use a FBO with text.
