OTHER LANGUAGE SUPPORT

Remind has support for languages other than English. See the file

"lang.h" for details. The language support may vary - you can change

only the substitution filter, or you can translate all of the usage
|

instructions and error messages as well. See "french.h" for an example.

||||
|

If you add support for a non-English language, Remind will accept both the

English and non-English names of months and weekdays in an input script.

However, you should not rely on this feature if you want to write portable

language, and should modify the substitution filter appropriately.

Take a look at the files "english.h" and "german.h" if you want to add

support for your favourite language. If you do add another language

to Remind, please let me know! Here are the basic guidelines:
|

|
||||
- Your language file should be called "lxxx.h", where lxxx is the first 8
|
||||
characters of the ENGLISH name of your language.
|
||||
|
||||
- You should define L_LANGNAME to be the full English name of your language,
|
||||
with the first letter capitalized and the rest lower-case.

|
||||
Then check the output of diff. You will find lots of differences.
|
||||
If there are other than differences in the filename
|
||||
(supplied test-result: ./test.rem, QDOS result: test_rem) and
|
||||
in the ostype (supplied: UNIX, QDOS: QDOS / SMSQ) Remind does
|
||||
not work correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The file "defs_rem" has some sample Remind definitions and commands,
|
||||
as well as U.S. and Jewish holidays. You should delete the definitions
|
||||
for ANSI colours as the QL does not support the ANSI standard.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
OTHER LANGUAGE SUPPORT
|
||||
|
||||
Remind has support for languages other than English. See the file
|
||||
"lang_h" for details. The language support may vary - you can change
|
||||
only the substitution filter, or you can translate all of the usage
|
||||
instructions and error messages as well. See "french_h" for an
|
||||
example of the latter.
|
||||
|
||||
If you add support for a non-English language, Remind will accept both the
|
||||
English and non-English names of months and weekdays in an input script.
|
||||
However, you should not rely on this feature if you want to write portable
|
||||
Remind scripts.
|
||||
|
||||
At a minimum, you should support month and day names in the foreign
|
||||
language, and should modify the substitution filter appropriately.
|
||||
If you are truly diligent, you can translate usage and error messages
|
||||
too.
|
||||
|
||||
Take a look at the files "english_h" and "german_h" if you want to add
|
||||
support for your favourite language. If you do add another language
|
||||
to Remind, please let me know! Here are the basic guidelines:
|
||||
|
||||
- Your language file should be called "lxxx_h", where lxxx is the first 8
|
||||
characters of the ENGLISH name of your language.
|
||||
|
||||
- Your language file should define L_LANGNAME to be the full English
|
||||
name of your language, with the first letter capitalized and the rest
|
||||
lower-case.
|
||||
See README.UNIX for some more information about Remind.

@@ -11,6 +11,23 @@ CHANGES TO REMIND
|
||||
- Completely reworked the PS/PSFILE mechanism to use the more
|
||||
general SPECIAL mechanism for customizing output in REMIND back-ends.
|
||||
|
||||
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
||||
|
||||
- Directory structure totally reorganized. Remind now uses an autoconf
|
||||
"configure" script which should make life very pleasant for UNIX
|
||||
people.
|
||||
|
||||
+ BUG FIXES
|
||||
|
||||
- Updated "finnish.h" to include proper URL and translation of all
|
||||
error messages.
|
||||
|
||||
+ BUG INTRODUCTIONS
|
||||
|
||||
- The reorganization and use of "configure" probably breaks Remind
|
||||
installation on non-UNIX platforms. Sorry. I can't fix it until
|
||||
I hear back from non-UNIX maintainers.
