These two weeks I’ve been quite busy with other things, so the project didn’t move as much as I wanted. However, I managed to get the catalog engine to internationalize an app for the first time. It’s not a big application, just a very simple Hello World test program. And the lack of a tool for translating catalogs means I had to edit them by hand to get the translation done.
I will be working in a Catalog AddOn writing a catalog as full text for easier editing.
The work on the Locale Kit as part of the Summer of Code has already started :)
This week we have been working on proper integration of my work in the Haiku tree. So you can now checkout Haiku from svn and get the Locale Kit as part of it.
Of course, some parts are still broken (or not yet written), but some of the tests seems to be already working.
Hello world !
As you know, I am one of the selected students for this year summer of code. In this post I will introduce myself and give some details about my project.
My name is Adrien Destugues, some of you may know me as PulkoMandy as i’ve been lurking on the irc channel and mailing lists for some time. I already applied for the Summer of Code and Haiku Code Drive last year but unfortunately I was not selected. This year it went better :)
I’m studying electronics and computer science at the ENSSAT (École Nationale Supérieure de Sciences Appliquées et de Technologie), in Lannion, France. I used to run BeOS as my main operating system for some time, but I now switched to Linux. I have a running Haiku install on my hard disk, but as my network card is not supported, I don’t use it much for everyday work. I hope this will change soon.
