Editan graphics
Autho translaetan plain text is eisie, multilingual image translaetan is mair complicaet:
- (Idealie, the orieginal text sud be transcriybit first.)
- A basic image editin projeck needs ti be maed, takkan oot the orieginal text, remakkan possible backgrunds an waelan the richt fonts.
- The needit fonts sud be merkit doun sae's the editors for ither langages can get thaim.
- The orieginal text needs translaetit.
- At the hinder end, the translaetit text needs ti be pitten inti the baese image, takkan tent o spriyt boond liemits at the gemm micht'a set up. (We'v no cud chiynj thae liemits 'ithoot inhaudan the hael ANM fiyl wi au its orieginal uncompressed image data, but thon wad mak the siyz o the patches bigger nor thay need ti be.)
Fonts
Fonts sud idealie hae a big eneuch Unicode cuverage sae's the saem templaet can be uised wi a wheen o langages.
For a pietie, the best fonts for this aften haes liemitit cuverage - an findan aen at leuks similar an haes a braider cuverage can be a fiykie, if no a unpossible task.
- Thaerfor, ye'r no needan ti be caeran aboot this for onie langage at isna yer ain (but ither translaeters wad shuir appreciaet it if ye did).
A consistent appeirans athort the langages wad shuir be a guid thing ti hae, but this isna a requiyrment or offiecial policie - ilka langage can still hae whitiver fonts the editors liyks better.
If ye ar caeran, here a test string wi caracters oot o sum o wir activ langages at micht be a problem, for your convenience:
