Just curious, but has anyone done globalization in an application for Ghana, Africa? I've been searching all over the Internets to no avail. Is the predominant language tag en-GH? I am currently developing an application for deployment in a Ghanaian medical facility and have been worried about localization issues. Any pointers? Resources? Anything?
Thanks!
According to the CIA World Factbook for Ghana, the language breakdown is Asante 14.8%, Ewe 12.7%, Fante 9.9%, Boron (Brong) 4.6%, Dagomba 4.3%, Dangme 4.3%, Dagarte (Dagaba) 3.7%, Akyem 3.4%, Ga 3.4%, Akuapem 2.9%, other 36.1%. English is the official language, though.
If you're developing an application for a Ghanaian medical facility, why don't you ask someone at that facility who will be using your application?

Google has Material Design, Microsoft has Fluent and (unofficially) Metro.
About two decades ago, the User Interface for Mac OS X was called Aqua but I do not see this term used in practice as much anymore (it does not even have a StackOverflow tag like Material Design and Microsoft-Metro have).
Is there a specific name (official or unofficial) for the design language across Apple platforms?
While I'm not entirely sure it's 100% analogous to Material Design, I'd say the term you're looking for is Human Interface Guidelines.
On this page in Apple's website you'll find the phrase "iOS design language". The macOS design language for a long time was Aqua but since Mojave, Aqua is treated like a legacy term in the SDK.
Flutter calls iOS design "Cupertino", am not sure how relevant that is however, there should be a reason that Google developers has named that set of components Cupertino, other than the fact Apple Park is located in Cupertino, California (maybe private shared documentation?); or maybe not as it is referred iOS design language in rest of the documentation and they just wanted some name usable in code. Brought the finding here as I liked Wikipedia to have an entry for the design language about iOS design in addition to Material Design but I feel there is lack of documentation for the topic so am requesting people here to link related content in preparation of building such entry.
Yes , in fact i've just had a uni class about flutter, where they call Apple's "User Experience", Cupertino.
I was looking for Hindi language support in my project using itextpdf version 5.3.2 but unfortunately, I have observed there is no such thing present. I have seen many blogs for Hindi support where itext has asked developers to contribute but a few have turned up so far.
I want to contribute itext to this cause. So please guide me how can I initiate or take a step forward.
Looking for your response.
I would like to localize my app (as suggested from Apple) to several languages like English, Spanish, French, etc...
Well I don't speak or understand all those languages, at least my translations look awkward to native speakers.
(Results from online translators are a first start but of course insufficient.)
So does anybody know a service/platform where I can get translations from human native speakers mutually.
For example:
I speak German mother tongue and need my app/text/website translated to English.
Some other guy might speak English mother tongue and needs his app/text/website translated to German.
So I could do it for him and he for me. Without paying money, but with high quality, because both have a benefit. Unfortunately I don't have a clue how to find this guy, do you have an idea? Is there a platform on the internet which could help out?
My google research did not get a valuable result.
I would suggest using a professional service, speaking a language does not mean you can do a good translation.
There are a few recommended vendors from apple:
https://developer.apple.com/internationalization/#vendors
I work for Supertext and we also do lots of app translations.
I have question to ask you.
There are some open source robotic middleware out there that contains some libraries for robotic developers to do I/O works. They are really powerfull tools that save a lot of time.
They are such as OpenRTM, OROCOS, RSCA etc...
In a project, we will developing a robotic wheelchair that do some autonomous behaviors such as obstacle avoidance, move2goal, follow coridor etc. We'll use an RTOS to organize I/O stuff and selection operations for the behaviors.
What I'm wondering is if any of the RTOS(mcOS-II, QNX, Keil etc.) has port to these middlewares? Can I install them on to these RTOSes?
Sorry for my bad English. Hope you got what I mean.
My best regards..
I am OpenRTM-aist user.
OpenRTM-aist have QNX implementation.
http://www.openrtm.org/openrtm/ja/node/5056
Sorry, there is no english documentation for OpenRTM for QNX, please use google translate button on the site.
OpenRTM-aist is also available for Real-Time Linux (ART-Linux, real-time preemption kernel), T-Kernel (uITRON), VxWorks (developed by SEC CO. LTD.).
Sorry, they do not have english pages, but developers are of course available for english communication. Ask them in the mailiing list: I also recommend you to use openrtm-user mailing list. We had a similar question a couple days ago. You must be able to get some useful information on it.
You can find link on the official OpenRTM-aist website, described above.
Of course, english is welcome!
Recently I've been getting more and more into mobile development. I am currently working with the iPhone and Android based devices.
Palm's new WebOS looks interesting.
Are there any good online tutorials for quickly getting up to speed on developing for the Palm WebOS?
The Palm Developer Network has some basic overviews: http://developer.palm.com/
They also have a section up there: Palm webOS: Developing Applications in JavaScript Using the Palm Mojo Framework. This may be a good start.
Palm webOS: Developing Applications in JavaScript Using the Palm Mojo Framework is a book in the making, available currently through O'Reilly Rough Cuts program).
You can easily read the first chapter.
That's the closest you can get currently from official sources. Unless you apply to their SDK early access program (sdkapplication.palm.com/sdkapplication) and they let you in (you can apply for it until the SDK is officially released to the public).
Of course, another thing we can do until the SDK is out is catch up on whatever technologies we individually need that programming for Palm's webOS will require: JavaScript, HTML5, CSS... and there's ton of material about these online. Actually, there are many websites dedicated to Palm Pre and webOS that sprung up recently. The one that is more programming oriented that I know of is webOShelp.net: take a look at their Getting started with webOS guide (www.weboshelp.net/getting-started-with-webos).
P.S. sorry about not clickable links, had to play the system somehow ;) - it won't allow me to post more than one link since I'm new here.
Now that the device is out, people are actively playing with the device. Best site I have found so far is (no affiliation) http://predev.wikidot.com
Also, if you root the device, you can look at the source for the shipped apps in /usr/palm/applications
I have additional notes at http://friendfeed.com/
The site www.weboshelp.net has quite a few good tutorials.
This blog has a good tutorials:
