EPG Translator (Discussion thread)

So press Info, then text and you get translated EPG. Works well. Many thanks. Would work even better if it translated by default when pressing Info instead of having to follow it up with a Text push.

In the pluginbrowser Text does nothing, as the text is already translated.

If you are in an EventView window it will toggle not-translating/translating.

Ah, indeed, my misunderstanding. Works fine

And now I understand this post, which I support wholeheartedly! A setting that allows the text in eventview to be translated by default would be a great improvement.

I'm sure it could be an option.
Presumably you'd just want it to pop-up translated, but still be able to toggle?
So this would just be a case of inverting the starting state and adding a suitable menu option.

Part of the issue here is that it doesn't know what language the real EPG is in so it ALWAYS needs to call Google to translate even if its already in the destination language. Which is unnecessary if a lot of your EPG is in the language you want anyway.

FYI: It seems that he EPG Translator that went into 5.4.007 is broken. (Same in OpenATV)
This was the first compiled version, which contains code that only works for source files.

Yes, I think that is logical.

OpenATV do nightly builds, so not a big deal for them. Not sure when the next ViX Release will be. I've asked.

Rob, have you deliberately got a transparent border around your buttons?

That sounds great!

True, but would that be a problem? As long as this is guarded against internet not being available, I see no problem in a little bit extra data transpot.

Most certainly not deliberate; and I don't see that on my OLED TV's.

This is not a good idea. It would mean every text displayed in EventView would be sent to Google for translating, even if the source and destination language are one and the same.

Hence my reaction:

How did you manage to see that? I've really never seen that in Magic.

If it's an option it's only a problem if you chose to use it.
Translation problems (of any sort) are "handled" (you either get a partial translation, or the original untranslated text), but there might be a delay.

And since it caches results if you look at something for a second time it will just use what it already has.

It will show on any TV when the button is not over a black background.

In S1080 it is not present. I can't see the cause at the moment.

I can't reproduce it and I've never seen it.
Nor can I see where that would come from.


Edit: Oops, now I have this too

Cool .
