multi language selection

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What new feature/ability do you want?
Language selection menu in Radio setup

What is the expected output?
French Localisation of eepe is pretty good so multi languages traduction for  
er9x menus could be interesting too.
What version of the product are you using?
r288

Please provide any additional information below.

This has cropped up from time to time.
eePe is built with Qt which has a lot of tools for handling languages.  ER9x 
OTOH is a custom embedded system.  It's not impossible to make it 
"translatable" but it does require quite a lot of work.

What I plan on doing is create a separate header file with all the strings.  
We'll be able to edit that file and change certain strings to accommodate 
different languages.  Lot's of work but it is an issue which I'd like to solve!

As an exercise, I've extracted all the char strings in er9x.

There are approximately 223 different strings.

I attach the file with my results.

Excellent!

How did you manage to do that?

grep's your friend. :-)

But no, I did that using a Windows text editor.

I've already extracted the strings from frsky.cpp to put them in the header 
file.

It's no as easy as I thought, maybe a sed procedure can do the work more 
quickly.

I'm working on a sed procedure to replace all the strings, and create in 
parallel a translate.h header file.

This is fairly well easy and speedy, than doing that at hand.

My files are ready, I send them to Erez.

If he's OK, I will post the translate.h file here, to give you an idea.

Is it possible to select language in setting menus or the selection must be 
done during flashing ?

Original comment by waral...@hotmail.fr on 4 Jan 2011 at 3:51

Currently it's not possible to change the language.
When it will be possible you will need to flash the FW with the correct 
language.

Is there a french version of "english.lang" ?

Original comment by waral...@hotmail.fr on 21 Jun 2011 at 3:10

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There a version in Spanish?
If so, it would be interesting, rather than to choose a language version, a 
version for everyone, so do not take up too much memory.
Would it be possible?

Thank you for the work you do, it's a very interesting project.

Language specific build of er9x is now possible. At present English, German and 
Norwegian are supported. I need translated files for any other languages 
required.

Hi.
I really like your work, and still use your er9x firmware with my tg9x with 
M128 onboard. But still missing other languages (polish on my side), as it is 
possible in OpenTX. 
So my question is, have you ever anticipate to translate it in future?

I need help to do the translation. If you post your request on this thread:
http://openrcforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3867&hilit=language

I can post the current en.h file with all the strings in it, and ask if you 
could translate it into a po.h.

The biggest problem is building all the different versions if there are many 
different languages.
