Yeah, I believe I'd voted for the same icon in the poll on your site. It was a globe of national flags. Personally, I find it to be most appropriate. Hope to see v1.*/2.* use it. Love the app and what you've done in v1.1. THANKS‼ =)

Thank you for that amazing application. Just downloaded it via O!Market.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajhvdb:
I can't download from link 1 + 2 . Do you have another link?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arturobandini:
Yes, why it's not the globe with national flags??? :(

I remember I voted for it (and now it is not listed in the Poll) and it was No 1. :( It was better than the current one I think.

Thank you for this v1.1, which is really good.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brusko1972:
I like this globe with flags as well. why is it not in the poll? Thanks for this app, it is very usefull. Maybe in the next version you can have an option to choose between the globe with flags icon and the most popular one in your poll. I think the only thing missing in this app is speech recognition or speech to text and it would be better the the official android version from google. Great Work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arturobandini:
Concerning this icon...

I used CSMI to replace the regular icon by the one with the flags.

Actually it is not that good 'as such', because of the white background and because the globe is not in the center of ther icon.

:)

So, if ever this one is chosen it will need to be revamped by a designer, in order to:

- make the background transparent,

- put the globe in the center.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arturobandini:
And what about this one?

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chargedRam:
I liked that icon too but it had a white background .. dint look so good as I thought... :S .. glad you liked the new version

Thanks for the kind words... Keep on sending your suggestions.. :D

Try it again... yuou should be able to ... If not then let me know...

I love the new Icon arturo.... really love it...

I will try to provide the user the options to choose Icon on app startup.. no need to use CSMI... ;)

v1.1.1 is in works.. should be with you all very soon :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
Oh yeah! I love that icon!

But would it be possible to have it without the shadow effect?

Many thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kain144000:
I agree, I think this is the one. I'd prefer a reflection over the shadow, though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arturobandini:
but unfortunately there may be some copyright on this icon :( I don't know.

I just found it with a search on Google Image wih the key words "Globe" and "flags" and Google led me there: http://www.ardysssystem.com/

But it's not the logo of the brand. It's something they use to say that they accept all international orders.

But maybe we could modify it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
@arturobandini: the picture is only used by this website so I guess it is not a big deal to use it for Anuvadak. It's not like Anuvadak was a commercial product.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] giRaM:
i have a question (listed in o!market too):

i copied the ARIALUNI.TTF to \Windows\Fonts and installed anuvadak 1.1

arial is marked in settings, but when i want to translate hindi, japanese etc. there are only boxes as translated words.

is it the wrong font file? must i rename it? is the size of 22 MB correct?

plz help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chargedRam:
I have removed the shadow but it doesnt look the way I thought It would look . I will try to post the icon when I am at my home pc

I still like the other (full) globe icon over this one.. :S ... i dont know what people say !! :confused: :confused:

hi giRaM,

yes the fonts name is arialuni.ttf and the place is also right.

The only doubt I have is that your phones "default Fonts folder' is different from the others. It can be set from Registry .

check this HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontPath and let me know the value
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] giRaM:
there is only a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink, not FontPath

and there ...\FontLink\SystemLink with 2 entrys, Tahoma, not more.

is that correct?

the folder Windows\Fonts is normally empty. is that right?

thx for helping so far.

EDIT:

i installed new ROM and now it is working. arialuni in fonts-folder with real symbols.

Fixed translation bug.

Please, delete the key Значек in HKLM/Security/Shell/StartInfo/Start/Anuvadak.lnk with any registry editor

chargedRam, I'm sorry. Edit the first post, pls.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chargedRam:
Done .. Thanks :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pink_floyd:
Really great app, well done !

One issue though, the Icon chooser crashes after I've chosen another Icon (one of the supplied icons, not my own). See the details in the Screen Print below

Not a big deal but you might want to look into it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chargedRam:
Hi there,

Try uninstalling the application and then re-installing it .. I will look in the problem and have a fix ready very soon :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pink_floyd:
Re-installed app

Hi chargedRam,

Re-installed the app, and now it works.

Error is probably caused when moving the Anuvadak.lnk file to a subfolder, so the app cannot not find the file anymore.

Another weird thing I now noticed is that after I've changed the icon (and a soft reset) in CHT the Program Picker shows, as on the Windows Start menu, the new icon but on the Home screen the old icon is still shown.

Anyway, thank you for the effort so far (donation will come soon).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chargedRam:
Hey there..

I am glad it worked for you. :D

I know there is a bug with CHT tab. To fix that...

Go to > Application Data > HTC > ProgLauncher > and delete the entry named Anuvadak

Go back to CHT quicklinks remove and put the anuvadak application. It should show up now... :D

Thanks for the donation reference though :D

View detailed dictionary...

@chargedRam I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this app‼ However, I think it would be great and invaluable to have a "View detailed dictionary" option. As I type this, another idea's popped into my head... Perhaps you could make another app that's Google's regular dictionary (ie: define:*). I think that'd be pretty ß17©#1n', too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wil_dee:
hi chargedram, still getting the issue with the white text when i type stuff in to translate - any ideas? installed v1.1.1

i have a samsung omnia i8000 wm6.1 stock rom...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shahriar5252:
Thanks for this great program. It installed without any problems from the OMarket on my CDMA TP2 for Sprint (stock ROM wm6.5 HTC Sense 2.5). There are two problems, however:

Problem #1:

The program requires that I install the MS Ariel Unicode to the \Windows\Fonts folder on the device. This file is 22.1 MB and I don't have much room on my device to install it. Is there a way to mod this app to look for the fonts in a different folder?

When I upgraded my mobile Office 2007 to Office 2010, I asked MS Marketplace to install the upgrade to my SD card. So it created a Windows folder in the root of my SD card and installed some of the files there. Any way to make Anuvadak to read the fonts from a Windows folder on the SD card?

Problem #2:

Some languages like Persian, Hebrew, and Arabic, read from left to right, but Anuvadak writes the letters the opposite way. Any way to correct this on future versions? Otherwise, translations for such languages will be worthless.

Also, for Persian and Arabic, all the letters are separate but they should be joined for each word as English letters are in cursive writing. Any way to make the letters in a word join each other for such languages?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chargedRam:
Hello,

I am already working on the solution for problem 1 . It will be fixed in the next release. :)

About Problem 2 I have not seen in that problem till now but I think I should now. I dont promise a fix in the next version but it should be fixed in upcoming versions.

@Anybody: WOuld any body know a good working Arabic font ??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chargedRam:
hmm.. looks like a nice idea. Currently I am working on OCR (yes i said OCR !!! Click and translate ... )and Voice Input for Anuvadak, so that is the priority .. ;)

Once I am done with the above mentioned Big features I will try to do this :D

Will try to have this fix soon :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] winmofreak:
Incredible job!!!

Dude, this is the best app I've got. Beyond a shadow of a doubt. It has been so enjoyable to use, and looking at your posts, you genuinely care about the problems people have wth this app, and you make a concerted effort to fix them, something not seen often enough. I just wanted to say thanks for your hard work that you put into this (which you don't have to do). Again, thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chargedRam:
thanks for the kind words buddy. I really appreciate it. Hope you enjoy the upcoming versions also :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] winmofreak:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chargedRam:
Well I am trying my best. I do have a prototype ready.. but it is with lot of limitations right now .. :(

I will update the thread here as soon as I have something concrete to show :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shahriar5252:
Thanks for the info. I think I can provide you with some info to get problem #2 solved.

Here is a summary of what I reported in my previous post:

I reported that for languages such as Hebrew, Persian, and Arabic the text should be properly written from right to left. I also reported that for Arabic and Persian, all the letters in a word must be joined together similar to cursive handwriting in English.

Currently, you app writes text in Hebrew, Persian, and Arabic in the opposite way (i.e., from left to right, which is the proper way for English and other western languages but not for these three languages). And your app is currently not capable of joining letters of a word together for Persian and Arabic languages (not required for Hebrew though).

Here are my suggestions to solve the problem:

When I go to Insert/Symbols menu in

the American version

of MS Word and if I click on the Arabic/Persian alphabet letters one at a time, MS Word writes them in the proper way (from right to left) and joins them together too. The way that MS Word knows to join the letters of a word together is on part of the user's choice: Generally, each letter of Arabic or Persian alphabet has a beginning, middle, and ending version. If a letter is at the beginning or ending of a word, you must use the beginning or ending version of the letter. If a letter is at the middle of a word, then you must use the middle version of the letter. By choosing the proper beginning, middle, and ending versions of letters to constitute a word, MS Word sticks the letters together to create a word.

I think MS Ariel Unicode does have all the beginning, middle, and ending versions of Arabic and Persian alphabets. So first you have to get your app to write the texts from right to left for Hebrew, Persian, and Arabic. And next, you have to get Anuvadak to choose the proper beginning, middle, and ending versions of a letter to create words for Arabic and Persian.

Please let me know if I can provide you with anything else.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kain144000:
Thanks for considering my idea, and hopefully it'll come to fruition. I think it'd be helpful mainly because it displays nouns, adjective, etc. As far as OCR goes, I'd actually had to Google the acronym, but once I found out it stood for ... Optical ... Character ... Recognition, my jaw'd dropped and I thought, "#0LY–F*&%IN'–$#17‼" So, godspeed with that one. Voice input, too, will be invaluable. I gotta say ... You're the F*&%IN' MAN, chargedRam‼

Hi Sean,

I am assuming you are using Windows 6.1 ... Unfortunately this method works for windows 6.5 only :confused:

but I will research a little bit and figure out a solution for win 6.1

If you are using 6.5 then I am not sure why isnt it working for you. Could you let me know the registry entry for Anuvadak.lnk>Icon @ HKLM/Security/Shell/StartInfo/Start

Let me know and I will try to help. :)

6.1 could be a .dll resource to which all it has to do then is create the .lnk on choice of preference as the .lnk chosen would point to the resouce in the .dll, not sure how you would implement the software to do the .lnk but thought i'd @ least give an idea.

Yes, I was also very excited to see the unicode font support hebrew (finally), however I realized pretty quickly that it didn't look right.

This should be a relatively simple fix- for those 3 language options, the output characters should run through a filter that puts them in reverse order. That's it.

Now connecting the letters so they look right is another thing (and again, does not pertain to hebrew). I would imagine that is a much more difficult and time consuming fix. I think in most cases, just having the characters in the correct order will be enough to make it legible to those struggling to speak the language.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shahriar5252:
Hi chargedRam:

As I mentioned in my previous post:

Generally, each letter of Arabic or Persian alphabet has a beginning, middle, and ending version. If a letter is at the beginning or ending of a word, you must use the beginning or ending version of the letter. If a letter is at the middle of a word, then you must use the middle version of the letter. By choosing the proper beginning, middle, and ending versions of letters to constitute a word, Arial Unicode MS font for MS Word sticks the letters together to create a word.

Question:

Will you be able to have the next version of Anuvadak write words with the appropriate beginning, middle, and ending versions of letters for the Arabic and Persian alphabet? If so, the letters constituting a word will just stick together or at least give the illusion of sticking together. The fonts for Arabic and Persian alphabets are designed to automatically give the illusion of sticking letters together if you use the appropriate beginning, middle and ending versions of letters to constitute words just like fonts for cursive writing in English. Sticking the letters together doesn't require some sort of special program. Appropriate version of letters is how MS Word fonts give the illusion of sticking letters together in cursive handwriting for the English language too, so do the same for these languages.

Thanks for all you time and effort. You are enabling humanity to understand each other. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chargedRam:
Hey Cunione,

I would recommend uninstalling the program and reinstalling it for fixing the icon changer. If it still crashes .. could you let me know the error message you get.

you must be using win 6.5 if its hd2..

Hmm I will do the right to left for sure but I cant make the letters join happen. I am still struggling with it . May be it is because of my no knowledge of arabic language. But I will try to make it as readable as possible. :)

but if you wanna help me .. could you send me a pm with an example so that I can see and try to understand. or email me at wintweet[at]gmail.com
