Hi Folks,

I've finished most of the translation for the Japanese lang1041.asp file. I say most becuase I have no idea how to translate the remaining items. I'm not a native Japanese speaker. I'd appreciate it if someone could proofread the file and sent me their feedback. Thanks.

Regards,
K

Pick up the file here - http://www.geocities.com/ethan_91030/index.html

What is the state of japanese version?.

---

Zero progress. The file is unchanged since I last posted it. V4 beta 3 lang1041.asp changes have not been incorporated. No response from the general community. No one has volunteered to help me with the remaining translation or proofread the file.

I've got all of the necessary Japanese language changes I need in a heavily moded v3.3. It's customized for company use and tied into an Oracle DB so it's not worth posting to the community unless you've got access to our HR Employee DB

I don't think there is a large enough Japanese speaking population in the Snitz community to justify the work. I'm not willing to commit additional time to the v 4 project unless I can get some help. Sorry.

Regards,
Ken

Well, it's a bad notice... I was interested in your translation, cuz I'm a student of japanese language. Anyway, thank you for all work done.

---

I know how you feel. I'm a bit disapointed by the lack of interest as well. I think that there would be more interest if the Snitz site itself was in Japanese. It's tough for a Japanese speaker to come in and read this site in English and know what's going on. I've been thinking about hosting a Japanese version of the forum, but the time and expense are a real barrier. Know a cheap hosting company that can handle Japanese?

The v4 beta 2 lang1041.asp file is definetly usable. The User side is done. So there shouldn't be any complaints from that end. It's just the admin side that mostly needs work. The tech lingo is a tedious excercise to get right from E to J. If you're a student of Japanese and plan do the admin yourself, it might be easier if the admin side remained in English.

The v4 beta 3 changes are mostly minor. Simple stuff that any beginner in Japanese might do. You know colors, etc. You might want to give them a try. I'm just too lazy to do the work.

Regards,
Ken

Plus there are some more in the post v40b03 patches... I know there will be a lot more with v3.4 introduced, may be more than 100 phrases, but mostly they are very similar phrases like the existing ones...

Seahorse, I also could not get any support in Turkish... Please don't give up ... You may like to invite some of your friends in your country to the group...

I wish I could help...

---

Thanks for the vote of support. Just for aldeberan, I started adding in the v4b3 changes to my file. Should I wait for the v3.4 additions before I finish the changes?

What bothers me most about the translation is that I'm not a native Japanese speaker. I'd really like some feedback to make sure I get the best translation. My translation probably sounds strange to native Japanese.

By the way, I wish you could help too. ha ha.

Ken

Sorry, but I have tried to contact with you by email. I send you an email cuz I have some problems when I try to load the asp page. Problems are with unfinished strings, with quotation marks (").

---

I've read your email and I'm not sure what the problem is with unfinished strings. The Lang1041.asp file was from v4b2. Bozden, is this a beta3 related issue?

How embarassing... I haven't tested the lang1041.asp file. That's part of the reason I need feedback. I just started the translation on the assumption that the file would work. Since we've moded v3.3 here at work, it's tough for me to spend time working on v4. I don't have the environment necessary to work on it at home.

Ken

I don't understand when you say "Know a cheap hosting company that can handle Japanese?". What do you mean when you say "handle japanese"?.

---

All the sites I've worked on are hosted by a server with the same native language. Japanese language site are hosted on a Japanese version of NT, or Win2k. English sites are hosted on the English version of NT or Win2k.

What I'd like to know is if I can host a Japanese site on an English NT or Win2k server? If so, I'd like to find a cheap host in the States that I could host a Japanese version of snitz on.

I have no idea if there are any cheap ASP hosts in Japan. But I might give one a try if someone can point me to a good host. By cheap I mean 2500 yen or less a month.

I was thinking of trying 121hosts, but the topics on them in the hosting forum aren't very positive right now.

I need a place where I can test my translated lang1041.asp file too.

I hope that's clearer.

Regards,
Ken
