Hi everyone
Two last questions, then translation begins (thanks Mesar for the
reply and details of the translation work, will help with the formal
funding application, the informal one definitely got full support ;)
).
1. I have a colleague who wants to work with me on this process. Do I
invite him to create a separate Assembla account (I presume so), and
then we commit updates separately, or do you want both of us to
somehow work with one account for Icelandic (IceTranslate)?
2. This is not directly translation related and is for everyone (if
you don't know, that's fine, I'll just go ask on the NVDA development
list). Focus 40 and 80 displays used to be supported in the 2011
versions of NVDA (at least 32 bit), on 64-bit systems in 2012 the
Focus display option is gone. I am not surprised, after all it is from
a competitor, but do you guys know if it is official that NVDA does
not support Focus any more?
A bonus question *grin*
3. How about add-ons or plug-ins for NVDA, Is the translation of these
also managed centrally through this system, or is that entirely
separate work?
Cheers everyone, and Icelandic user guide and updates will be with you shortly.
