Does anyone know an online "software dictionary"? I want to translate my small application to other languages, it doesn't have much to translate, simple words like Save, Options, Username etc. I don't trust Google Translate to do it because software language is usually different... is there some kind of software language dictionary somewhere online? It's a freeware application so I cannot afford to hire someone to translate it for me and it has only like 20 phrases to translate...
Below are few resources
Rosetta - Ubuntu translation platform https://launchpad.net/
OpenOffice.org Localization Project http://l10n.openoffice.org/
Google Translation - http://translate.google.com/#
There is something like Microsoft Software Localization Dictionary, but I am unable to find it.
There is also a crowd-sourcing site which takes advantage of it as well as of Google Translate, but it is just a help for people that would like to translate your resources. You'll find this site on https://crowdin.com/ .
For typical words like "Open", "Save", "Close", "Back", "Next", etc. Microsoft's translation would be the best and you shouldn't have any problems localizing it by yourself...

I'm in need of some advice after several days of doing research on and off has brought me no answers.
I'm self-taught with coding and I want to create a program in C# with Microsoft Visual Studi (2017) that will convert video files into .bik videos. So I can take an mp3, wmv, etc, and turn them into .bik video files. The reason I state this, is because when I ask in the past, (here or on other sites) people have pointed me to online programs that convert .bik videos into more common file types.
RAD Tools is not an option, as once it's unzipped, it sets off my antivirus defender and I'm not risking my work computer. I've wanted to do this for a while, and now I'm determined to really knuckle down and do it.
So, with someone who has some experience in Unity game development, with C# as their main language of choice, what's the best way to go about learning video conversion to turn common video files into a .bik format?
Whether it's a tutorial, a scripting library, anything is helpful because there's not much information on this out there.
I have begun using GameMaker Studio to develop a game. From what I've gathered, it uses its own kind of scripting language. Since the capabilities of interfacing a GameMaker Studio project with outside coding, I am curious to know what one could do within GameMaker Studio, accessibility-wise, e.g. implementing an aurial interface on top of the visual, or implementing haptic feedback for a mobile game.
I have searched for an answer to this on Google, but haven't found anything useful. The scripting help files don't provide me with anything useful, either.
The question I have, really, is whether I should invest the time to learn GameMaker Studio or if I'm better off creating my own engine (or using some other engine). The thing is: making my games accessible to e.g. people with visual impairments is crucial to my business.
I highly recommend using GM:S. I personally use it for my projects. The built in scripting language is called GML, and the entire language is documented here.
GML is very similar to C in syntax, and contains a lot of modern things built in. But if you really hate GML, you can still use DLLs made in other languages in GM, with 3 functions in GML. (There are ways to do haptic feedback documented in the link I provided.)
But it's your choice.
Is there any free dictionary I can use for i18n?
Free as in open source / creative commons, ideally also for use in a commercial product.
Looking at the KDE i18n projects, they have translated a lot of applications in many languages. Is there a way I can use their dictionaries for a standard Qt (non-KDE) application - and am I allowed to?
You should contact the KDE localization team if you have questions about licensing of their translations.
I don't think that the l10n support of KDE applications will help yoiu directly -- they ship as a catalogue of strings, as appears in a particular context in the original application, and the translated form. There is a long way from that to automatically using the data in the context of another application, and that's also the reason why machine-generated translations have such a low quality. If you cannot speak a language and don't have anyone who could do the work for you, you won't be able to ship a working localized version in that language.
How can I build a regular website using drupal? which module should I use for that?
That's a pretty generic question. You should check out http://drupal.org/start and work through their Getting Started documentation and tutorials. After that, you should have an easier time here or on their forums getting more specific information.
According to Drupal founder Dries Buytaert, Drupal is not for building regular websites but for building "ambitious digital experiences".
'Because Drupal evolved from a simple tool for hobbyists to a more powerful digital experience platform, many people believe that Drupal is now "for the enterprise". While I agree that Drupal is a great fit for the enterprise, I personally never loved that categorization. It's not just large organizations that use Drupal. Individuals, small startups, universities, museums and non-profits can be equally ambitious in what they'd like to accomplish and Drupal can be an incredible solution for them. Rather than using "for the enterprise", I thought "for ambitious digital experiences" was a good phrase to describe what people can build using Drupal. I say "digital experiences" because I don't want to confine this definition to traditional browser-based websites.'
At the 2017 DrupalCon Vienna, Buytaert stated: "Drupal is no longer for simple sites, but for sites with medium to high richness." Basically there are easier solutions for regular websites than maintaining Drupal securely in production on a web server.
Depending on how "regular" your "regular" website is, you might consider another platform.
All of Drupal's complexity and versatility, along with the time you spent learning them, would go to waste if you're just displaying a dozen or so static pages.
Is this is the case, Wordpress or Joomla might be better starting points.
i have robot and want to control it via internet using radio wave .. but still i dont know the best language to do that . with the need to build scure site to insure not any body can use it . i expect for site asp with c# but what is the language i'll need it to control from sender device to the recipt robot . also need to live video transfer to the site from robot camera............
soory for bothering .....i know it may wrong but i'm beginner
and thanks for all who read or try to help me
I think it might be best to narrow down your choice of technologies before choosing a programming language. Robotics control can be a very complex topic, and there are many approaches to solving the same problem.
Having said that, with the components you've listed:
Secure internet interface
RF communication to an autonomous robot
Embedded robot control software
Video processing, compression and decompression
Display of video to internet visitors
I would guess that your complete solution would involve at least two or three different programming languages, depending on application and environment.
It might be worth taking a look at Microsoft Robotics Studio to give you an exampleof a framework you can work with. Generally all the various controllers etc "talk" different languages so you use something like robotics studio to tie them all together so you can talk to them all in a common way.
It's a hell of a tall order for a beginner though, there's far more to think about than picking a language :-)
