Hi Yoshiki,

Great job!

Installing the new jar in an empty 3.6b image I got some warning on the Transcript. I put them in: http://squeaklet.com:8080/m17n/3

Some of them looks like packages I need in the Image before installing (HtmlEntity, TestInterpreterPlugin and VRMLClassNode).

Q: The .jar install a .dll file, is this file required? Can the m17n stuff work in other OS but windows?

Cheers,

Diego

PS: We need our (our=translators) mail-list.

Hello,

I uploaded the m17n SAR package for beta. If you're interested in it, take a look at

http://squeaklet.com:8080/m17n/3

The latin-1 character input is supposed to be ok. But I need you guys to double check.

The TTFontDescription>>migrateSqueakToIso is included, but it doesn't seem that it is doing what it should do.

We have tons of projects from previous Nihongo4 image. We need to check loading them works ok.

As always, any comments are welcome.

Thank you,

-- Yoshiki

2nd. report:

- When I switch to Spanish, I can't type Spanish letters (like Ñ, ñ, á, é, í, ó and ú). But I can when I switch to German, any tip?

- I get some deprecation-warnings when I switch the languaje. -- Project>>setPaletteFor: --> Smalltalk imageImports (3 times)

Q: Do you prefer these reports by email?

Cheers,

Diego

Yes, keep them up. Who is in charge of setting up an i18n/m17n-related list? How about this:

squeak-int@lists.squeakfoundation.org

Just did this 5 minutes ago:

I'm fine with either one.

Diego,

• When I switch to Spanish, I can't type Spanish letters (like Ñ, ñ, á, é,

í, ó and ú). But I can when I switch to German, any tip?

We need to create a class called Spanish, which can be just a copy of German. The reasoning is that we are going to want to have language dependent case-insensitive string match functions and those LanguageEnvironments implements such language dependent stuff.

Also, a bit more robust default TextInputInterpreter creation is needed.

• I get some deprecation-warnings when I switch the languaje.

-- Project>>setPaletteFor: --> Smalltalk imageImports (3 times)

Yes. See the text in the workspace...

Q: Do you prefer these reports by email?

Yes.

Thank you,

I finally had some time to take a closer look at the m17n implementation. Do we really need classes for some of the language stuff? My impression is that most of the conversion etc could be table driven?

Hmm. Let's keep those. Various language specific methods can be there.

We can use them as a Factory of translation dictionaries. #primaryLanguage: and #setNaturalLanguageTo: may do some double dispatch kind of thing based with the language argument, etc.

If you say that they should be used more than now, yes.
