Just to note that the last milestone is the availability of fribidi2 in distributions. I have worked a bit to support farsi (the font will be changed automatically now).

Because the Windows build of the game can use whatever software needed, it is working under this platform (screenshot sometimes later).

Currently, we have for farsi:
218 translated messages, 12 fuzzy translations, 20 untranslated messages.

The new generation of fribidi has been released. I propose that until one binary distribution (mandriva, debian, ubuntu, fedora, ...) officially releases a new version which has it (around June 2008 for Ubuntu AFAIK), this should be considered postponed.

Hey! All You!
Its Done!

Regards!
Its Working!

How can i translate future versions before release?

From some posts, it seems fribidi may have some problems for such languages as yours:
http://fribidi.freedesktop.org/wiki/
http://lists.arabeyes.org/archives/developer/2004/June/msg00041.html

I've just spent some time on it, to no avail. Any reference code I found yields the same erroneous display, even when forcing to arabian the type of language.

Interestingly enough, vi displays the text as bad as us, but gedit gets it right...

I have attached a corrected version (2 or 3 problems found). I'll test it and see if looks good, then try to include it.

In that regard, what would be the displayed text for your language, for instance in the language selection menu:
فارسی or پارسی ?

Thanks again for your translation! Current stats are:
231 translated messages, 2 fuzzy translations, 3 untranslated messages.

(file #3623)

On several occasions we have requested to get access to your translation. We really need it, else we will probably never be able to determine what is wrong and correct it.

So, pretty please, could you attach the fa.po file you wrote? An example of a font to use would be useful too.

Yes ! It's done !

(file #3359)

i get the svn that u said!
added the fa.po & config the ~/.wormux/config.xml & set the language=fa, then use a font that support both english & farsi.
then luanched it, but it was like before that you added fribidi!
nothing changed!
i took a screenshot!

the screenshot attached!
i write some notice in screenshot to show if it works well! what happens!

& maybe, i would do sth else, if i forgot sth, pliz tell me, & if i done all, so, why it doesnt work well?

tnx!
pliz do sth!

(file #3312)

ok! so i will complete my translation. when new version released!
i will test it! now i work on my translations!

thanks!

Hi Yanning,
i Compile wormux 0.8 Beta3 on my fedora!
where can i download new "wormux with fribidi"?

Btw, I tried to build fribidi under windows/mingw and could only success by forcing a static lib.

It was correctly detected, defined USE_FRIBIDI to 1 in src/config.h but... nothing use it? Should I apply the patch from task #5485 (patch #857) ?

I applied it but it seems fribidi has deactivated the functions you use...

Hi,

I just uploaded an old patch of mind which enable fribidi support in Wormux. You can retreive it at this location : https://gna.org/patch/index.php?857

Feel free to report if something is working or (as I expect) if it does nothing :)

Regards,

Yannig (drayan)

hi, i translated most of messages, i use the best font of persian (fa), but it show cube characters instead of persian charachters.
i know, for good translations of rtl languages like persian (fa), arabic (ar) & hebrew (he), wormux must use Fribidi!
i dont know how to add this, in the program!
pliz somebody show me the way, or added it into it by himself!
i registered wormux.ir too, to build a persian wormux community!
pliz do that, we can help wormux to be up!
