translation-filter 0.3 released
I just released translation-filter 0.3. You can download it from here.
The scope of development is to create a rudimentary tool that can allow comparing the quality of string translations in an offline mode. For example, the KDE Project uses a web based tool that allows strings to be searched in translated content.
The current set of requirements for this offline tool are:
+ to be able to take as input a directory path containing multiple .po files
+ to be able to take as input an English string or word to be searched within the .po files collection
+ to be able to display every occurring instance of the English string or word along with equivalent translated string
+ to be able to display the name of the files being searched
+ to be able to save the search result set in an .html file
It uses PyQt4 for the gui, used QWebView to render the result. You will also require translate-toolkit (at least 1.0.1 version, available in Fedora 9).
Among the new features (mostly in the command line version) , using -t or –term you can search for any single term. You can even check for unattached dependent vowel signs of Indic languages using -d option.
Ksnapshot, the photographer in your computer
Ksnapshot, the photographer in your computer. This application helps you to take screenshot or snapshot of your system. You can use those screenshots to describe your problem/points in a better way. It can even take snapshot of any particular window or a region. You can even add some delay, after which it will take the snapshot.
