SkEye Translations

This project hosts the translations for strings used in SkEye (an advanced planetarium for Android).

SkEye is primarily developed in English. Translations have been contributed by community.

Credits

  • French translation by Germain Gagnerot
  • Hungarian translation by Berenji Péter

License & Copyright

All translations are copyright Harshad RJ and are in the public domain. Anyone can use these translations for any projects, commercial or non-commercial, closed-source or open-source.

When you create a translation, you will have to assign the copyright to Harshad RJ. I will add your name to the credits (unless you request not to).

What can be translated

Currently, many of the strings used in the User Interface and the following astronomical objects:

  • Solar system objects
  • Constellation names

As of Jul 9 2011, some strings that are currently not translateable are:

  • a few strings used in the UI, especially the search and alignment dialogs
  • Star names

HowTo

Localization in Android is done by defining strings in locale specific XML files.

It is quite easy to get started with. You can have a look at the existing localizations in the res/ folder to understand how they work.

All the details of how Android does localization can be seen in the offical Android document.
