German translation of interpreter error messages




List

I have uploaded two files; 

www.linuxcnc.org/Dropbox/rs274ngc_errors_german_pre.cc
www.linuxcnc.org/Dropbox/rs274ngc_errors_german_pre.tgz

These are preliminary translations of the interpreter error messages into
German.

To use these files, you will need to follow the instructions below.  These
were written by Tom Kramer, the author of the interpreter.

-----Tom Kramer snip-----
As far as interpreter error messages go, in the new six-axis interpreter,
it should be easy to implement different languages. All the error messages
are in the file rs274ngc_errors.cc. For a different language, change the
strings in the file to the desired language. For multilanguage capability,
put the different languages in different files with names like
"rs274ngc_errors_english.cc" and "rs274ngc_errors_deutsch.cc", change
the #include "rs274ngc_errors.cc" statement near the beginning of
rs274ngc_pre.cc to #ifdef ENGLISH  #include "rs274ngc_errors_english.cc"
#endif followed by similar statements for other languages, and compile
with -DENGLISH or -DDEUTSCH, etc.

That method requires that someone with a good command of English and
another language do the intepretation, but that is inescapable.

Thanks Max, Till, and Tom.  I'm sure that others are welcome to work on
this project.  If you test this file, get back to the list with your
reports.  If you begin translation into other languages, I'll be happy to
upload drafts to linuxcnc.org/Dropbox and from there into the sourceforge
repository when we are happy with the result.

I'm still playing with ways to translate the tkemc stuff without
bogging down the system with a couple hundred more variable look-ups.
