This version is low level english (commands, keywords, values).

Will documentation of core files also be translated to English, or is that a bit too ambitious at the moment?

most of the documentation is in english, the commands, keywords, values etc in %D blocks are also translated Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

I uploaded the upcoming release, http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/alpha This version is low level english (commands, keywords, values). It is

Great, Hans (and Taco). Now I can remember only with nostalgy the time when I mysteriously fumbled the Dutch word labyrint :-(

I just bought a Dutch Dictionary mainly for ConTeXt ;-) Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net texshow-web: http://texshow.contextgarden.net List archive: http://archive.contextgarden.net

Very cool. I can't imagine how huge a job this was.

While looking through mult-com and -con, I noticed a few capitalised words that didn't get translated:

mult-con: Cijfers, Letters, Letter, MAAND, Romeins, Grieks, WEEKDAG, WOORD. mult-com: steloffsetin

ok, corrected (keywords with capitals were left untouched, since they may be user ones)

With every change you make, there's almost always a complaint. :) Here's mine: In English (American & British), "criterium" is more correctly "criterion". Similarly, "palet" is "palette". I have notes on other little complaints, but these are the big ones.

well, you can always define a 'purified' interface (script an extra entry in mult-co[nm] with defaults taken fron english)

As you have to worry about backward compatibility, I know there's not a lot you can do to make me happy, but my inner pedant just wanted to get that off his chest. :)

no problem, as soon as >50% is crap english we can cook up a new version btw, internally we speak of context-2 for this ll english one, after that comes context-4 [we skip the 3, guess why] and after that context-8 and context-16 for other fundamental changes, so there are enough oppurtunities left for improvement Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Perhaps it is possible to come up with aliases for "left" and "right" alignments as well? something like

align=flushleft % maps to 'old' right align=flushright % maps to 'old' left

+1 to this proposal. This way we can then later map right and left to the *correct* ones :) -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

You can still use cont-nl since multiple interfaces are still supported -) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
