Internationalization of Chess for Android

Post by AartBik » Mon Jul 23, 2012 9:12 pm

Version 4.0 of Chess for Android focuses on localization and internationalization. All user facing text (except the chess notation and engine messages) has been translated into the following languages.
  • English (the default)
  • Dutch (translated myself)
  • German (many thanks to Philip Stutz)
  • Hebrew (many thanks to Haran Talmon)
  • Polish (many thanks to Michal Kaczmarek)
  • Spanish (many thanks to Krizia Lopez)
  • Swedish (many thanks to Anton Hansson)
If you spot any mistakes, if you would like to see support for other languages or, even better, if you would like to help with further localization, please drop me a private note.

I just released version 4.0.5 of Chess for Android, available through Google Play or as direct download.
This release mainly extends localization to more languages, but it also provides a new feature: copying the engine analysis to the clipboard.

The following languages are now supported:

* Afrikaans (af)
* Chinese (zh)
* Dutch (nl)
* English (en)
* French (fr)
* German (de)
* Hebrew (iw)
* Italian (it)
* Polish (pl)
* Portuguese (pt-br)
* Russian (ru)
* Spanish (es)
* Swedish (sv)
* Turkish (tr)

Many thanks to my translation team: Vinícius Angiolucci, Lucas Braesch, A.N. Bürümcekci, Panna Chowdhury, Anton Hansson, Arnar Mar Hrafnkelsson, Michal Kaczmarek, Dara Koper, Morgan Lombard, Krizia Lopez, Dennis Prochko, Philip Stutz, Haran Talmon, Ted Wong, and last but certainly not least C.R. Zamana!
