Windowizer

There is no French inside the liste?
Cela semble curieux!

I originally left French, German, and Spanish off the list, since I already had volunteers for those languages. However, since some think I am ignoring them (just joking), I have updated the list. Now all SketchUp supported languages are listed, and those with volunteers are grayed out to make it easier to see what needs remain.

Thanks to everyone who has offered to help!

More comprehensible and informative like that!

Gee, Rick, how could I have missed this thread?

Of course count me in for the Hungarian translation (I have already done such a thing for Fredo - although AFAIK he hasn't released those language variations eventually).

Hi Rick

i can do the italian translation.

RickW

I considered a translation from US English to UK English (change "o" to "ou", replace "s" with "c" in certain words, substitute "-aft" with "-aught", reverse "-er" to "-re", and rename the "Apply" button to, "I say, old chap, would you mind Windowizing that for me, what what?"), but decided that might be a bit much.

Awh, I'd love that UK version.

Is there much to translate? I could be available to do a Norwegian localization.

RickW

That would be great!

Thanks,

RickW

Thanks, everyone, for the encouragement. The core is solid, and I'm making progress on some of the feature requests.

I have another community request - I want to have local language support (as much as possible) for Windowizer4, and could use volunteers to translate into the following languages:

[EDIT: text in gray indicates volunteer response]

Arabic
Bulgarian
Catalan
Chinese
Croatian
Czech
Danish
Dutch
Finnish
French
German
Greek
Hebrew
Hindi
Hungarian
Indonesian
Italian
Japanese
Korean
Latvian
Lithuanian
Norwegian
Polish
Portuguese
Romanian
Russian
Serbian
Slovak
Slovenian
Spanish
Swedish
Thai
Turkish
Ukrainian
Vietnamese

If you are willing & able to translate into one (or more) of these languages, post a reply with which language you can translate into. There is a web dialog, so knowledge of basic HTML (so you know what text prompts to edit) would be helpful. There will (eventually) be a brief help file as well.

Thanks, community!

LOL

If SketchUp supported "micro-localization", I could offer a deep-South version for the Dixie states ("Y'all Windowize that now, ya hear?"), or a New England cab driver version ("Windowize THIS, you *****!!"), or a close-to-the-49th-parallel version ("Windowize, eh?"). However, I will adamantly resist a "talk-like-a-pirate-day" version ("Aarrgh! Windowize it now, ye filthy sea dog, before I mop the deck with ye!"). Not sure about a Klingon-language version.

Does anyone here speak Bocce?

Esperanto ?

I was going to use Sketchup.get_locale to determine which webdialog file to open. SU is only localized for the versions in my list (according to Google). I suppose that someone could translate the relevant webdialog to their particular language...

Never mind the non-english speakers Rick, just get it released

really looking forward to this one...

Message received.

Okay, here's the update:

added in the front-only option
added in the group/non-group option
added zero-width outside frame handling
(with those two items, setting to front-only and non-group will create things just like Windowizer3 did, just with more capability [generally speaking]).
My short-list for things remaining to do:
Add "Edit" capability, like in W3
Add "Inherit properties" capability, like in W3
Add "Delete" capability, like in W3 (this may be difficult, since W4 will cut openings in "walls" now)
Handle zero-width mullions for butt-glazing
Investigate using components
If there's anything on the list you don't care about, I could put it off 'til the first update. If there's capabilities you want to see, let me know - I'll see what I can do.

You are a legend!!!

Awesome. SketchUp meets Revit.

Any chance for arched, Gothic windows with tracery and such?
