Software >> SpeedCrunch

• SpeedCrunch's official site
• a page on Wikipedia that mentions SpeedCrunch
• SpeedCrunch's Pootle page at Locamotion.org

SpeedCrunch uses two types of localisation file. For the web site and a small part of the GUI, it uses PO, but for the bulk of the GUI, it uses TS files. We are still investigating ways to get the TS files into Pootle; until then, only the web site can be translated via pootle.locamotion.org.

• Customised Google search for SpeedCrunch terminology
• SpeedCrunch glossary for Pootle

SpeedCrunch is a standard scientific calculator with features like scrollable display, unlimited variable storage, more than 50 built-in math functions, on-the-fly calculation, and syntax highlight with parentheses matching. It runs on Windows, Mac OSX, Linux and other Unixes.

Current maintainer: Helder Correira

We're busy researching ways of making it possible to translate the entire program in Pootle.

• Number of strings: 13 (books) + 317 (messages) + 213 (site)
• Number of words: 18 + 805 + 1753 = 2576
• Original file format: POT and TS

• User group on Google Groups, a great place to ask questions.
• SpeedCrunch's page at code.google.com, may contain titbits of useful information.
• Use the customised search engine (also linked to above).
• Ask your local maths professor!

WARNING: SpeedCrunch may be a small program, but it will take a fair amount of research to translate it. In fact, we suggest you translate the constants and functions offline before typing the translations into the actual language files.

Download this file with screenshots of the program menus, and translate it offline, or use it as a reference when translating the actual language files. Download in DOC or ODT format.

It may help when translating the constants to know what kind of constants they are. As for the functions, they are often better known by their abbreviations than by their full forms. For this reason we've categorised the constants and added abbreviations to the functions in this file. Print it out and translate it offline (possibly while stalking a number of mathematics students or lecturers). Download in DOC or ODT format.

Some of constants may be known by several names, and not all of those names may be in your dictionary. So I've created a file with definitions, explanations and some alternate names I could find for the various constants, functions and mathematical thingies in SpeedCrunch. Mostly I used Google and the Wikipedia to figure things out. Please also update the file with more useful information and send it to me. Download it in DOC or ODT format.

If you want to participate in translating SpeedCrunch into a new language or help maintain it in one of the existing languages, send an e-mail to Helder Correia and tell him that you're interested, and that you'd like to use Pootle for translating the web page portion of it. Then send me an e-mail as well, so that I can add the language to Pootle. Oh, and start translating the constants file mentioned above.
