Unfortunately, all messages all Japanese inside, so it cannot be easily translated to English...

Thanks for the ipk.  It'd be great to have an english version of this program.  I've been playing around with a hex editor and have translated a few of the menus based on what happens, but I don't speak japanese.  If someone can send me or post 'real' translations, I will go through the binary and implement them.  In some places (like the buttons) the text is actually just part of an image and these will need to be photoshopped.

Update: I've got about 75% of the program translated.  Using babelfish on the documentation was enough to figure out most of it.  There are a few error dialogs that I'm unsure about though.

I will post an updated ipk over the weekend.

Look forward to seeing that English ipk, Dave!

Thanks for doing this.

Here is the version, which should run on any Zaurus:

Any 640 x 480 rez Zaurus with a Japanese font installed.  Installed on my 5500 and got 1/4 screen display and lots of squares in the menu options

Cheers

Ok, below is a link to an english ipk of the Photo Storage program. But first, some caveats:

I don't speak any Japanese so,

  1. I used babelfish to figure out what was being said.  Sometimes this didn't help much and I got a bit creative.

  2. I'm sure there are places where my wording sucks.

  3. I haven't translated the documentation.

  4. Because of the way this was done, the translation could not really exceed the number of japanese characters in the original.  There were only a few times when this came up, but if you wonder about some word abbreviations, this is probably why.

  5. There may be some dialogs (particularly ones I couldn't easily see, like some errors) where the text is too long for the box.  If you find one, let me know which one and where the line break should be.

  If you find anything that sounds awkward, please don't hesitate to suggest something better.

Also, as I mentioned in a previous post, several images used had japanese actually in the image.  At this point I just used GIMP to remove the japanese, but did not replace it with any english. First, I had no easy way to translate it.  Second, my attempts to put some text there looked sophomoric.  If someone has the ability to do this and send me the updated images I will replace them. Otherwise, I'm leaving my edited ones in because I find the japanese distracting. (No offense to anyone.)

Enjoy!

BTW, I noticed several strings which seemed to infer an integration with the mail program (ie--making attachments).  Anyone know anything about this?  Does this work on the C3000? If so,  can we package the updated mail client for cacko?

It was a good excuse to procrastinate on my other work!
Actually, it wasn't too bad once I got in the rhythm.  I'm happy to do it again should the need arise.

maddock,

You're great! How could you do this? Can you teach me? However, I can help on editing those image buttons to English. Please tell me what I should do. Thank you.

This app is extremely cool. I just figured out how to mount my Olympus C4000 on these forums a few days ago, and this is like a bonus feature.

Any idea what's causing these blue lines over the slideshow view? Is there any way to fix it? I'd love to use this as my primary photo viewing and organization app on the Z.

As mentioned in earlier posts, many programs abstract the text information from the program to make translation easier.  This method is for the cases when they don't.

It wasn't very difficult to do, but it was time consuming.  You use an hex editor program to just replace the japanese characters in the program with whatever you want.  If you've never used a hex editor before, it allows you to edit binary files.  Basically, you just open up the program file in your hex editor, find the string you want to edit, then change it.  The important thing is not to exceed the size of the original string.  If the new string is shorter than the original, pad the rest of the space with NULL characters (00 in hex).  (You'll notice there are already null characters at the end of each string.  This is because the null tells the program where the string stops.)

If you've never done anything like this before, copy the /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/photostorage file to a desktop machine, open it up with a hex editor, then search for some of the words you see in the program.  A visual is worth a thousand words.

Great.  Below is a link to a zip file of the images, both the japanese originals and my edits.  Each of my edits needs english text where the japanese appears, preferably in the same color/style.


Thanks.

It might be related to model.  I have a c760 and I'm not seeing any blue lines while in slideshow.

Are you using it on a 6000 as your sig suggests?
