But I'll shelve the idea of translating configs for now. > > But I really think the "average user" benefits from configs > > translated into his native lanaguge.

I wasn't thinking of the /writing/ of the configs. I was thinking of the user /reading/ the config. It's the one place where Joe User can see all of his settings. In fact, I'd also like to see all possible options /listed/, or given as a range, in a #remarked line ahead of each setting, e.g.: #Repeat mode options: one of "off", "all", "one" Repeat Mode: all > I agree. We need to clean up the settings code. So you don't mind I I contibnue on that? :-) -- Archos FM needs a Rockbox!Received on 2003-04-30 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
