BATC Forum

Hi guys, We have serveral dutch hams playing with the great ryde.
However some annouing basics have been attacked for local use.

Be aware, All these changes are without any assist of the designers and builders of the BATC group.
Also make a decent backup before you start because any type error may result in disaster..


First the red screen with black english text.

In the file /home/pi/ryde/rydeplayer/player.py you can eddit a line in the section
"# container for the theme"

'backgroundPlayState': (255,0,0,255), where the 0,0,0,255 create a black background in stead off the red background...

You need also change the file /home/pi/ryde/rydeplayer/states/playback.py
Because black text on black background is not readable...

In the section
"# redraw a fullscreen display with a multiline message over it" you change black into white in the line...

lineSurface=self.theme.fonts.playStateTitle.render(line, True, self.theme.colours.black)

While we are at it.... translate in the section
"# update the state and redraw the message if required"

All the famous english screen text to your own needs..
like this... displayText = "Geen DATV\nsignaal" where \n means new line....

Again, use at your onw risk and make a backup..
I use FTP program to change the settings in my PC as its more easy.

Great Thomas,

Yes i do not expect the software designers to make translation files, but not everyone speaks English.
And its nice to help the local community to use this great software in there native language.

Benno

I agree that this is valuable.

There is development we can do to make it easier to add new language support that doesn't require language contributors to edit the code, would be helpful if someone could file an issue so it doesn't get forgotten.

Do not put it to high on the wish list..

We rather like the older wishes granted and if i can help, just shout...
Let the simple things be done by the simple guys ...

Thanks for the great SW sofar..

It wasn't going to get done soon anyway, as you say there are higher priorities right now, but if its only on the list in my head then it risks being forgotten
