På svenska!
This is the home of the Mimers brunn project.
The projects name is taken from Nordic mythology. Mimer is the name of
a giant who is the proprietor of a well (brunn in swedish) containing
wisdom, Mimers brunn translates to 'the well of Mimer' or 'Mimer's
well' in English.
I'm working on earning my masters degree in Computational Linguistics
which may explain my interest in the area of
l10n
- localization
and i18n
- internationalization.
Enabling everyone to be able to
communicate in their own language with people as well as machines is
something that I consider a good cause and this is my own small contribution
to that cause.
There are great efforts
being made at the Free Translation Project where a lot of people work
at making computers more available to everyone by donating their
translation work.
The project
The aim of this project is to develop tools for translators of
software. And also some tools helping in the i18n work in the Tcl language.
This project is divided into several parts and most of thoose parts are only in the
planning stages. I'll present the main ideas here for anyone that is
interested, and of course information about the parts that I have started
work on.
- Mimers brunn T(ranslation)M(emory) alpha
- New!
Latest
release 1.0.0a - 23 feb 2002
Small implementation with Metakit4tcl as database. A rough GUI
implementing some basic search abilities. See
Mimers brunn TM for more information about
downloading etc. You can also find a couple of *screenshots* there.
- ICU-data beta
- This module contains message cataloges for all locales that
have data in ICU. This means
names of months and days of the week, and also names of languages
and countries. This data have been automatically extracted from
the ICU sourcefiles, and converted to utf-8.
A small utility to view the data is included, Look at some screenshots, as well as all
the msgcat-format files. Any corrections and additions are best
presented directly to ICU since this data is based on their files.
Version 1.0.0 can now be downloaded.
If you don't have TclTk installed on your machine you can download
a selfcontained executable with the demonstration, win32 only.Windows-32
executable.
The message cataloges can of course be used with the
msgcat-package in Tcl.
