TARGET: Issue #36
ORIGIN: @AminaG --- #35 | Pull-Request-Comments
I did, so far, got it (i think):
My yet-unwritten attempt was: To ADD what is MISSING;
- Translations and informations about localized:
- usage ('How one WILL be doing stuff with Open Screenshot')(before it is installed)(for explanatorial use via the webpage|demo)
- content ('What one has to do to do ->INSERT-TARGET-OF-OPERATION<- successfully' - which is none but the yet-non-existing-wiki--localized---accessible from inside the extension, stored-as-github-wiki for fully accessible-internationalized-and-localized components and parts from where-ever-the-hell-could-freeze)
- documentation ('README' | 'source-code-comments' | 'full localized documentation of the source for educational purposes')
Let me give an example and explain why i thought, that the described before, would be great for your project;
- l10n=DEDE
:: for general use of [ DE==deutsch (german) - DE==Deutschland (Germany) ], CAPITALIZED because it would be a FLAG that sums-up|points-to the set of wished-l10n, combined with 404-like linking to an internal translation-proposal-page|sorry-notice as a-generic-one-in-ENUS plus one-that-is-if-possible-already-localized
- ... or for those that like to
- translate
- develop
- use OpenScreenshot on non-localized (Host-)Systems
because for whatever reason|use-case, e.g.:
- deployment-given-in-enus
- no-rights-to-change-host-language
- no-possibility-to-change-host-language
- using diverse accounts, for the given different purposes (whereas sync is active; so for a translator or learner the language-specific-presentation is comparable)
EXAM: The resulting call could be a set:
l10n={
'messages':'dede'
,'hoverhelp':'dech'
,'helptext':'enus'
,'controls':'deat'
,'readme':'dede'
,'licensing':'enus'
};
I hope you get what i am aiming|asking for.
So, the question is just:
WHERE should the original readme (in enus) be mirrored|linked, so that a translation can be hold in the same storage for optional access (sorted for developers|translators into one folder-by-origfilename+locale; for direct editing | usable by the extension itself to blend the content in naturally, by allowing specific l10n-setting.
WHY?
Because ... you already have a bunch of stuff translated and i did not want to reinvent the wheel, but help make the extension complete, because:
- there is no open-source extension for chrom*, that has similar feature-sets, yet
- there is no open-source extension for chrom*, that has similar localization-support, yet
- there is no open-source extension for chrom*, that has similar well-structured code, yet
, which would be at all comparable to 'Open Screenshot'.
Also, i couldn't ignore the fact:
I think it would be very nice to spend the opportunity to deliver a FULL extension, just because you already did it, the only little things that are missing are the described parts ( which are for sure the main fractions in terms of file-size, but the ignorable in terms of coding complexity ).
I hope you do not feel upset, but instead encouraged by my explanation.
I just think Open Screenshot would be the PERFECT FUNDAMENTAL EXAMPLE OF A FULLY FUNCTIONAL SCREENSHOT EXTENSION FOR BROWSERS ( ... ;) yeahyeah i know its just for chrome, ahem ;) ... )
By the way, you obviously have defnitely absolutely NO PROBLEM to answer one that asks for details about your project; so you MIGHT BE ABLE to give the WHOLE EXPERIENCE a shot.
Okay, please tell me one last time what your thoughts are, i hope i gave enough details and examples what my thoughts have been. If not, or if you wish to dicuss this no further, just let me know, i won't take it in anyway as an offense, just speak open and freely.
NOTE: The CAPITALIZED WORDS are not a CRYOUT, but in sense of letter-by-letter-readable, so one can see the dimension and opportunities behind.
:)
Thanks for your interest. (btw.: Yes i COULD code that myself; No, i do not want to. And if you ask what my talents are, i name you one: having feelings when looking at structures leading to thoughts showing pathes of developments which themselve lead to final solutions ... Some call it Authism ;) )
As you may have noticed already, this is not just a further asking in the original pull request, but opened as a new issue, so others can add there own thoughts to it. As i already told, if there is no interest from your side its totally accepted, no offense taken, but at least: let it exist as an issue ( means: do not close, please ). One day, one might want to get into it, and even if not it contains some trackbacks and sidelinks, that will push your rankings in terms of better being found, for those that are in need of 'Open Screenshot'.n](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/i18n)
