Bugs/cosmetical issues re GUI/translation of BS.Player (still valid for 2.50.1013)

Bugs or cosmetical issues re GUI/translation of BS.Player 240/241/242/243/244/250

Main window (first reported for version 2.22)
=> Selection of Radio and TV tags opens ML-window, but has no effect on the extension at the right of main window. There the background of Radio or TV tag should switch to lighter grey like it does for any other option selected and - if applicable - the section at the right should slide back to its initial position, i.e. be "reattached directly to the main (blue) window" (if such is not the case by the earlier selection of another tag (video/dvd/audio)).

Menu / Options / Preferences > Audio > Output
=> No translation for (separated tag) "Output"
. . . Also existing translation for "Output device" not working
immediately above (in grey text) solved in 2.40.995β (200904111026)

Menu / Options / Preferences > Subtitles
=> Border of the buttons [Font][Color][Background] should be transparent (or background matching grey)


Menu / Options / Preferences > Subtitles > [Online Subtitles]
=> Space for translation of "Don't show available subtitle list (download all in background)" too narrow.
immediately above (in grey text) solved in 2.40.995β (200904111026)

Menu / Options / Preferences > Keydefinitions & WinLIRC [Windowed mode]&[Full screen mode]
=> Border of button "Reset to default" should be transparent (or background matching grey)


Codec manager (at start up)
=> No translations.

Full screen skin (General remark)
=> change of language not effective before exit and restart of BS.Player

Full screen skin - Fonts
=> "Font" actually corresponds with function 'Load subtitles'
. . . (is it intended and supposed to be a link? Supposedly not I think.)
=> Clicking on Background Left or Right corresponds with "Repeat A-B"
=> texts "prev font" and "next font" untranslated
=> texts "subtitle color", "color-" and "color+" untranslated

Full screen skin - Aspect Ratio
=> If e.g. 4:3 is clicked, this should either be reflected below "Custom"
. . . or (alternatively) the ratio which may be shown below "Custom" should be wiped

Media Library > (rightclick)
=> No translation for "Send to iPod" (option removed in 2.40.995β / 200904111026 ??)
=> Properties: No translation for texts of "File info", i.e.:
. . . "Size", "Length", "Bitrate", "Sample rate" & "Channels"
immediately above (in grey text) solved in 2.40.995β (200904111026)
=> Properties: No translation for texts of "Art work"/"Type Artwork", i.e.:
. . . "Front Cover", "Back Cover", "Leaflet Page", "Media", ... etc.
=> Properties: No translation for button-texts of "Art work", i.e.:
immediately above (in grey text) solved in 2.40.995β (200904111026)
. . . "Add...", "Remove", "Change..." & "Save as..."
. . . Also these buttons should be horizontally aligned.

Other
=> When (under XP) Rendering mode EVR (Vista) is selected and trying to open a video:
. . . Untranslated "Warning" pop-up window:
. . . "Failed to allocate subtitle surface. / Subtitles will not be available."
. . . (By the way: video does play.)

Added 13 July 2009:
Menu / Options / Preferences > General > Audio
=> A tooltip which I added re. "Auto load external audio" (WID14 12H) doesn't show.
immediately above (in grey text) solved in 2.50.1013β (200910131220)
Menu / Options / Preferences > General > [General settings]
=> Option "Seek when mouse button is released (requires restart)" ("requires restart" should be indicated in the option text.)

Added 08 October 2009:
Menu / Options / Preferences > General > [General settings]
=> No translation for label "When finished"
immediately above (in grey text) solved in 2.50.1013β (200910131220)
Menu / Options / Preferences > Audio > IntervideoAC3
=> Existing translations for "Vocal options" / "No vocal" / "Left vocal" / "Right vocal" / "Both vocal" do not work (any more).
immediately above (in grey text) solved in 2.50.1013β (200910131220)
Menu / Options / Preferences > Key definitions & WinLIRC
=> Existing translations for labels "Windowed mode" / "Full screen mode" / "Boss buttom configuration" / "Multimedia keyboard keys" / "WinLIRC" do not work any more.
immediately above (in grey text) solved in 2.50.1012β (200910111954)

Added 12 October 2009:
Concerning Menu / Options / Preferences > General [General settings]
this in the context of language-file [WID8] (and indirectly [WID48])
Language file:
No longer used and may be removed:
[WID8] 13 & 13H "Close file when finished"/" "
[WID8] 14 & 14H "Shutdown computer when finished"/"Shutdown computer at the end of the movie."

[WID8]-15="Open locked media files (files in use)" shows tooltip 13H=" " (can be text in other languages-files, like in Dutch)
[WID8]-16="Close file when 'Stop' button is pressed" shows tooltip 14H="Shutdown computer at the end of the movie."
[WID8]-17 (=[WID48]-1) ="Check for new version of BS.Player at program startup" shows tooltip [WID8]-15H="If checked BSplayer will try to open files that are in use (still downloading, recording...)"
[WID8]-18="Seek by keyframes (AVI and MKV files)" shows tooltip 16H if present
[WID8]-19="Seek when mouse button is released" shows tooltip 17H if present
[WID8]-20="Show media time also in msec" shows tooltip 18H if present
immediately above (in grey text) solved in 2.50.1013β (200910131220)

Further two remaining items from BG's reply-post to this post:
3) Text in movie window at video start: "This version of BS.Player is for non-commercial and personal use only. You may not use it for any type of commercial activities."
BSPeter: remains (but unlikely to be changed)
5) In ML ID3:
The "Track #" string in File info
BSPeter: though translation exists it doesn't work!
BSPeter: only partially fixed in 2.50.1013β (200910131220), i.e. for File info and ID3v1 only!
BSPeter: this remains an issue for ID3v2
and ID3v2 tab; "Blues", "Classic Rock", "Country", "Dance", "Disco", "Func"… etc. in Genre pull-down menu.
BSPeter: remains

(previous post "BS.Player 2.33/2.34 bugs re GUI/translation" overhere)

3) I think this will never be translated, because otherwise one could edit the lng file with an empty (or 1 char, or meaningless) translation, and the purpose of that message would be nullified

[BG's]

Another one: In Playlist -> Add URL (Open URL), "Open" string untranslated.
Edit BSPeter: fixed

[BSPeter]

@BG's: Thx very much for your contributions!

Though not a protection to a meaningless line of text, checking length of the string could be used to prevent an empty (or very short) opening message (in which case the default English text could be displayed). With respect to "meaningless": if the user doesn't know any English at all, it will be meaningless to him/her anyhow (that's why we make translations isn't it?).

The following added to the main (=opening) post:
Introduced in beta versions 2.44.1010/2.50.1011:
No translation for label "When finished" (Preferences > General > [General Settings]
Under Preferences > Key definitions & WinLIRC the existing translations for labels
"Windowed mode" / "Full screen mode" / "Boss buttom configuration" / "Multimedia keyboard keys" / "WinLIRC"
don't work any more.
Further added:
Existing translations for (Preferences > Audio > Intervideo AC3)
"Vocal options" / "No vocal" / "Left vocal" / "Right vocal" / "Both vocal"
don't work anymore (since version??)

[BSPeter]

The following added to the main (=opening post) for beta-build 1012 of 11-Oct:
Concerning Options > Preferences > General [General preferences]
in the context of language-file [WID8] (and indirectly [WID48])
[WID8] No longer used and may be removed: 13+13H "Close file when finished"/" "
[WID8] Ditto: 14+14H: "Shutdown computer when finished"/"Shutdown computer at the end of the movie."
[WID8]-15="Open locked media files (files in use)" shows tooltip 13H=" " (can be text in other languages-files, like in Dutch)
[WID8]-16="Close file when 'Stop' button is pressed" shows tooltip 14H="Shutdown computer at the end of the movie."
[WID8]-17(=[WID48]-1)="Check for new version of BS.Player at program startup" shows tooltip [WID8]-15H="If checked BSplayer will try to open files that are in use (still downloading, recording...)"
[WID8]-18="Seek by keyframes (AVI and MKV files)" shows tooltip 16H if present
[WID8]-19="Seek when mouse button is released" shows tooltip 17H if present
[WID8]-20="Show media time also in msec" shows tooltip 18H if present

The non-working of translation of labels under "Key definitions & WinLIRC" now fixed.

Please refer to the opening post of this thread for all remaining "bugs" re the GUI/translation.

[Ico-man]

Will check it, thx.

[BG's]

No translation for letter "k" in "kbit(VRB) kHz, Stereo" string in main window.

No translation for # sign in extended view in ML.

[Ico-man]

Why would you need to translate k as in kilo?

[BSPeter]

For languages using non-Western fonts.
