Title: [Lua] Translator
Post by: Loulou 54 on September 25, 2011, 10:45:20 am

I've already had the idee before making a traductor on-calc to get quickly and anywhere the meaning of an english or german word thanks to my calculator. But the TI 89 memory wouldn't be sufficient.. ^^
But this strange idee becomes interesting again thanks to the large memory of Nspires !! :D Moreover Lua has some good string finding features !

So what do you think about such a project ?
The problem remains that I can't find a data list with english-french words to copy and work in my script, without having to write them myself.. O.O
I've already sent a mail to the creator of this website who proposes a freeware like the one I'd like to make on the Nspire : Freelang (http://www.freelang.com/)
No answer for the moment..

Do you know where I may find some data list of this kind ?
Thank you ! :)

Huge list of french verbs and english translations. As a start ;)

I can't wait to see how this project turns out! :D

I'll definitely be using it.

It would be great !
I don't know anything about translation, but I think that it's a huge project...

Good luck !

www.wordreference.com (http://www.wordreference.com) is by far my favorite translation (not translator :P) website.

Hello !

Here is an usable first version of my translator. :)

This is a huge file, so it take some time to be loaded on the Nspire.. There is more then 52 000 words !
Otherwise, it seems to be usefull ! I've even used it monday in an english test ! xD 2 times. Just to prove it could be done. ;) lol

I will continue to improve this version and I will make a french-german one too.

If you have ideas of other functions, please suggest them ! :)

Thanks.

Wait, does it have English -> French?

Title: Re: [Lua] Translator
Post by: Loulou 54 on January 29, 2012, 12:42:16 pm

Yes, every version has both "direction". You can switch between english>french and french >english or german>french and french>german using the [tab] key. :)

If I take my calculator out in any other class than math, it gets taken. And if I get caught playing games on it during math class, it gets taken.

I managed to use it thursday in a german test ! :D We have to count the words of our text, so I pretended like I was counting ! :P
But actually no, I was typing "dicht" or "besiedelt" ... !
(That's a good thing though, as I remember the words I searched ! ;) )

The version I posted above already allows you to search and navigate in the whole list, but this is still a poor version compared to the actual version. ;)

EDIT : So here is the current versions of english and german :)

Hi young children of globalisation !

Finally TI Translate and its Hangman game are going to be in 5 language. (I mean the language of the menu.) Thanks to the locale.name function, the correct language will be set automatically. (You can choose it in the software though.)

So I need some guys who could translate my strings into german, spanish and italian. x)
That's not difficult, there's no big sentences.. So I could do it myself with google but an human translation is better ! ;)

Here is my strings, please keep the form, just replace the strings in the correct language.
{"Actions","Change language","Search","Zoom in","Zoom out","german eszett","Go to ","Search only in the current language","Yes","No","Software language","English","French","German","Spanish","Italian","or","and","Questions? Problems?","to access the options","to scroll","Search a word :"}
{"HANGMAN","Play","2 Player","About","Instructions","Please Choose a word, < 31 characters long","Lives: ","in ","Trash: ","Original code by cyanophycean314,","adapted for TI-Translate by Louis DURAND","Thanks to Omnimaga and Inspired-Lua!","  Press letters on the keypad to play.","Guess the word within 6 tries.","When you have two lives left,","you get the translation !","In two player, one person picks the word,","the other will try and guess.","Letters - Guess letters","Tab - New Puzzle","Esc - Return to Menu","Enter - Retry word","by cyanophycean314, adapted by Loulou_54 for TI-Translate","You lost THE GAME","You have won !","The first bilingual hangman on a calculator","with "..tostring(dim[2]).." words in each language !","[tab] to choose the game language."}

Thank you !! :)

You could probably change the instructions. They are pretty bad!  :P

Title: Re: [Lua] Translator
Post by: Loulou 54 on February 17, 2012, 10:06:42 am

If you have better ones, submit them. ^^
But I think that's good enough. It is concise. :)

Title: Re: [Lua] Translator
Post by: Loulou 54 on April 17, 2012, 10:20:42 am

After all, I did it !

TI Translate, the first translator on a calc is now available in its 5 versions !
english-french
german-french
spanish-french
italien-french
spanish-english (for you AzNg0d1030 ! ;) )

TI Translate allows you to browse a list of tens of thousands of words and to search for any translation!  ;D(http://www.omnimaga.org/Themes/default/images/gpbp_arrow_up.gif)

(http://tiplanet.org/modules/archives/captures/1334586444Capture%20~TI%20Translate.gif)

Moreover, such a database allows unprecedented possibilities in terms of word games, and endless gameplay!
So you can find a HANGMAN game in the second "tab" in which you can play through both languages.
Besides, you get the translation when you have two lives left. ;)

Finally menus are available in 5 languages ​​(English, French, German, Spanish and Italian) and, taking advantage of opportunities Lua, the right language is automatically selected according to the settings of your calculator !
(you can still chose it in the program.. ;) )

Hope you'll enjoy it ! ;)

NOTE that I would like to make a german-english version but the list I have is too huge ! It would take too much time to be launched on the device..
Maybe some other versions could be released or some new games ! ;)

Loulou 54, could you not have german-english this way:
German <-> French <-> English
Or wouldn't that work properly?

Title: Re: [Lua] Translator
Post by: cyanophycean314 on April 17, 2012, 05:41:31 pm

HOLY CRAP!  O.O AMAZINGNESS!! Thank you so much for releasing this and I can't wait to use it in Spanish.  :D

Once, again, great work.  :)

Edit: Just saw the hangman part of the screenshot, VERY NICE! :D

Mmh actually no.. That's difficult because the list is alphabetically sorted in german. Then you have french words in a "random" order and you can't link them to the right order of the french-english list.. (confusing.. x) )
Or I have to make a complicated program to do that.
Besides several words may correspond to the translation of one!
For example : aber [Konj] --> mais [conj, opposition], cependant [conj]

So it's a mess.. :P

I have a romanized version of a Korean-English dictionnary !
So it could be possible ! ;)
(normally, I could do any language of this page : http://www.freelang.net/dictionary/index.php) ^^
