RTL is messed up - big time! by The_Joker on 12-09-2007 at 02:36 PM

First of all, 4.50 really looks good. Finally upgraded to 8.5, so I'll need some time to get used to it.
Yet, it seems pretty buggy...

Problems so far:
1. In the preferences, the import/edit combobox is still LTR
(<pic> <text> <arrow> instead of <arrow> <text> <pic> in RTL)
lol, it just fixed itself right now, until mouseover at least, maybe because of a redraw call, but returned to LTR. :S No other comboboxes found buggy. :P
2. Scripts editor: the code text area is also RTL! :|
Not understandable at all, cursor and actual place (when typing) inside the line are 2 different things. SOMEONE FIX IT FAST!!!
3. A little advice: fire the Hebrew translator. (No need to elaborate I think)
I might try to fix parts of the translation if I'll have time (not soon :()

P.S. Sorry if I sound too demanding, it's just really annoying.
Though I should mention that Plus! has a very good RTL support compared to some other programs. Thanks Patchou!

I'll check these outs, sorry for the problems in the script editor, it will be fixed in the next ver.

As for the hebrew translation, what's wrong with it? (I suggest you post about it in the translation forum).

Thank you.

About the translation, well, it has a lot of mistakes and I think some labels are detached from the original functions in some cases.
I will try to fix some of them myself, I just don't have time in the next week or two...


RE: RTL is messed up - big time! by Patchou on 12-09-2007 at 10:44 PM

well, I'd be happy to put you in contact with the current translator so that you can help improve the overal translation. Just email me at mplus-support@patchou.com .

I'm checking the mistakes in the heb version..and I noticed a mistake both in hebrew and in english..
preferences - coversations - chat logging - "Perfix all the lines with a time stamp"
shouldn't it be messages instead of lines?

Not really, as events like sending a file or starting an activity also get a time stamp with this feature turned on. So it's better to keep the option general instead of specifying every different events that can be logged.

Can you tell me more about this combo problem you have? I don't seem to be able to find it anywhere.

Thanks.

Here's a screenshot.
Usually it likes the RTL display. :S

Sorry to disappoint you, but the script editor is still RTL in build 312 (pic embed).

And I've just noticed: the "Options" and "Files" comboboxes in the script editor also have this LTR bug (see attached picture), and the "Print" in chat logs.
Seems like the combo itself is the problem...

P.S. The translation is better (Y) Although I did few fine-tunings, as some mistakes were still there.

that's strange, it certainly shouldn't. Are you  using an RTL version of Windows itself? (what version exactly?).

Yes. XP Home Hebrew + SP2

I'll try to install a copy of it and I'll fix it for 4.51. Sorry about that.

You can spare the trouble if you haven't yet, I checked this with a Hebrew version of WLM (8.5) and English XP, same problem.
So the problem is the RTL WLM, not Windows.
