After testing a lot of software on the beta A9home, I found myself faced with the fact that almost all this software is in English. No problem for me, but if we want to continue to promote RISC OS and all its products into the world, then we must put some energy in multi language programs.
We ? Why not me ? Unfortunately, there is no standard way to translate programs. But since Ovation Pro is already available in English and German, I took on the challenge of translating it into Dutch.
In fact this was a big job but after some months of work I am proud to release the first version. The RISC OS Road Show 2006 on the 17th June in Nieuwegein near Utrecht in the Netherlands looks the ideal moment to release this Dutch version of Ovation Pro into the world !
Especially for newcomers to Ovation Pro I considered it important to translate the tutorial and I will have a colour printed version of it at the show. Of course this and other things have cost me money.
At the RISC OS Road Show 2006 I will sell the translation for 15 euros. For this money you get a CD-ROM with the translation of the messages file, the templates, the !Macros buttons, the help file and the tutorial. The tutorial will also be colour printed. On the CD-ROM you will also find the latest version of the Dutch dictionary by J. van Vredenburch.
But if you buy (or upgrade) the RISC OS version of Ovation Pro before
the 14th of June 2006 via David Pilling's website you will get all this for free. To do this use the "Optional extra information" field in the checkout page and state "Ovation Pro + free Dutch translation & Tutorial". You will receive Ovation Pro in the normal way and to get the Dutch translation you have to see me at the stand of RISCOS.be during the RISC OS Road Show 2006.
