[instaviz-users] Export functionality, localization -- urgent help needed...

[Glen Low]

Hi All

I promised myself I wouldn't commit to major work just before the 1  
December deadline, but I'm convinced Instaviz will fly only with some  
form of export function.

So for the RC2 release I'm adding basic WebDAV export i.e. you can  
push the graph and a preview PDF to any WebDAV server, and it comes  
configured to do so with iDisk (i.e. part of MobileMe). This is  
strictly one-way export, but it will lay the foundation for proper two- 
way sync for the 2.0 release.

That being said, RC2 will have to be the submitted version or close to  
it (tomorrow!). Therefore I urgently need the following translated. I  
really appreciate the quick work that Pander, Emmanuel, Pierre,  
Daniel, Jose, Rui, Juan and Dominik have put it already, if you could  
just turn this around in about 12 hours?

Important Phrases:

Host Name -- i.e. as in server name for WebDAV
Directory -- i.e. folder
User Name
Password
Export
Exporting
Export Graph
WebDAV -- I suppose this would be the same in any language?
iDisk -- ditto?

Error messages:

These are mainly errors the user has a chance to fix. I've tried to  
use active voice and made them as jargon-free as possible, but as  
someone has lived and worked with these beasts for many years,  
computerese slowly and subtly creeps into your consciousness. Feel  
free to reword them in English you wish, and email the list so we can  
get them translated consistently.

Host doesn't understand WebDAV. -- i.e. the given host name doesn't  
accept WebDAV commands.
Host doesn't recognize your user name or password -- i.e.  
authentication failure
Host won't allow you to export to that directory
Host is missing that directory
Host needs a user name and password -- i.e. none was supplied but we  
need user + password
Host took too long to reply
Host replied with nothing (or a little funnier, host made an empty  
promise)
Host talks too much -- (but seriously!) the host sent too many  
redirects or requests for authentication

Low-level error messages:

These should never occur in real life or could be actual bugs.  
Probably best to either leave them as is or translate them simply  
enough for me to understand if users send me this in an error report.

Protocol error.
Stream error.
Can't authenticate.
Can't create authentication.
Can't apply credentials.
Can't create stream.
Can't open stream.

Hopefully this time tomorrow, Instaviz will be well on its way through  
the Apple approval process. Thanks for all you help!!





Cheers, Glen Low
