Hey fellows, I know it’s been quite silent the last months. Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of stuff like moving flats, starting a book, writing a diploma thesis, becoming father and so on that kept me very very busy. And that was the reason the Localization Suite had to step back for a few [...]

How automatic layout works
July 8, 2010 – 12:42
Unfortunately I have been very busy the last weeks in doing other things than the Loc-Suite. This is kind of the problem with side-projects. However, I want to share something with you that has been lying around here for quite some time now. As a reader of the blog you should know that I am [...]
Labeling it RC
June 4, 2010 – 13:42
Just a quick heads up: I labeled the latest nightly build to be a release candidate. 3.0rc. Finally. This is the official end of beta phases – at least for version 3.0. Right now I’m sitting in my plane to WWDC waiting for taxi. If any one would like to meet – just drop me [...]
Automatic Resizing
May 10, 2010 – 22:28
Hello all, it’s time again for a roundup on what’s happening to Loc-Suite these days. Very busy days. Very busy days. Basically, I completed my Beleg (like a Bachelor Thesis) about automatic application of layout during localizations. What this means? You will never-ever-ever-again have to manually resize a nib file after localization. Okay, it’s not [...]

Here’s a little screenshot: (yeha) There are a few significant changes. Here are the major features/changes: Imports [...]
Working on Interoperability
January 23, 2010 – 14:00
Just a quick update on what has happened recently: I added support for both the XLIFF (XML Localization Interchange File Format 1.2) and the TMX (Translation Memory eXchange 1.4) standards to the framework. This now allows developers on a Mac to exchange a localization project using XLIFF, as well enables translators and localizers to use [...]
First picture of automatic resizing!
January 18, 2010 – 20:01
Yes, it happened. Just a few minutes ago my algorithm worked for the first time — adjusting a user interface completely autonomous using automatically generated structure, constraints and so on. While the thing is FAR from finished and while any further details about the algorithm and so on will have to wait for later, I [...]
Great News #2: Documentation
January 7, 2010 – 20:01
And if there’s a good news item having a #1, there must be a number 2. And here it goes: The fine boys over at wordcrafts in Flensburg (as well Germany) will do the documentation for the Localization Suite. This is an incredible value and I am very pleased by them doing so. For those [...]
