[joseluis]

In spanish:
-------------

Esta aplicación contiene todos los nombres de los pájaros que hayan sido avistados en Europa Occidental, y muestra el nombre del ave en los idiomas seleccionados.

La aplicación ha sido probada en varios dispositivos. En el caso de que no se visualice correctamente en su dispositivo, puede mandar un e-mail al desarrollador con la marca y el modelo. Gracias de antemano.

Trabajamos conjuntamente con Observado.org y utilizamos la lista oficial de aves del mundo IOC (Worldbirdnames.org).

Puede cambiar fácilmente el lenguaje de búsqueda y los lenguajes de visualización y existen diversas maneras de seleccionar o buscar el nombre de un ave.

Resulta muy práctica para guías de avistamiento, durante las vacaciones o para ponerse en contacto con avistadores foráneos.

Hola Jose Luis,

Muchas gracias! Mi castillano/español no es bien, bien, y entender es mas facil que escribir.

Gracias y saludos,
Helen.

 

[joseluis]

You are welcome. Your spanish is way better than my dutch for sure

Hi Paulo,

Guess who is feeling very ashamed ......... I missed this completely:

Very Happy to hear that!

I Found your app, seems my market is following my device language and Not my Locale (?)
The app is quite interesting, and simple to use...
If I may be o bold, I have 2 or 3 suggestions:
Have the user be prompt for the translation laguage upon first run (ever)
When a "matching" bird name is selected, how dificult would it be to, if available, to show a thumbnail image that could be clicked to enlarge.(?)

I will PM you the new version and will start working on images, sounds and similar species soon. Also would like it very much when you tell me what other options would be nice/useful.

Thank you and best regards,
Helen.

 

[Cableguy]

You did NOT missed it, Helen, and this post is the proof of it...

My sugestions were just that, but seemed logical to the app in hand...
I must confess, even thoug I'm not into birdwatching, nor have an extended use of your app, I have come to be a lot more observant of all the flyers around me, and almost every day, I came across crows, eagles, and other birds I cant identify...
So it were possible to "browse" a specific family of birds image galery to find "what I've just seen", It would render your app a LOT more usage...I think...

I see you dont mention Norwegian here, but here is the Norwegian translation nevertheless!

Dette programmet inneholder alle fuglenavn som har blitt opservert i den vestre delen av Europa, og viser fuglenavnet i det språket du har valgt.

Programmet har blitt testet på mange mobiltyper. Vennligst send en mail til utvikleren om utseendet ikke vises riktig på din mobil (Merket og navnet på mobilen er alt vi trenger). På forhånd takk.

Regneark med ditt språk og vitenskaplige navn mottas med takk, og vil bli lagt til programmet.

Vi arbeider sammen med Observado.org og bruker den offisielle IOC World Bird List (Worldbirdnames.org)

Du kan enkelt velge hvilket språk du vil søke på. ENn rekke forskjellige måter å søke opp fuglene på gjør det lett å få frem riktig fugl.

Flott program som letter det å snakke med utenlandske fugletittere, når du er i utlandet på ferie eller om du jobber som guide.

Hi Wizard,

How could I forget Norway/Norwegian ?¿?¿?
Thank you very much.
Can you also tell me a good title in Norwegian for: Bird names translator

Tak (not sure if that is norwegian for "thank you").

Best regards,
Helen.

 

[WizardOz]

Yeah, how could you forget? *sniffle*

Name of country: Norway

Name of main language in Norway: Norwegian

"Bird names translator" = "Fuglenavnoversetter"
(you may put in a space like this: "Fuglenavn oversetter", but its not a real name then. It will however be easier for the searchengine)

Thank you = Takk

Regards,
Truls

Helen,

I believe it's a little late but I translated your text to Bulgarian language(Български). I don't see it listed in your post but it is as important language as slovenian or ukrainian Let me know if you need further help.

Hi Penko,

Welcome to B4A and thank you very much!

After copying and pasting Norwegian bird names for 2 days I now have to start with Bulgarian bird names

Hope you will see this message and can also tell me how "Bird names translator" is written in Bulgarian.
Just learned that Bulgaria has the cyrillic alphabet (shame on me for not realizing this) and found a file with scientific and Bulgarian names.

Thank you again,
Helen.

 

[Merlot2309]

@Hi Truls,

Thank you as well, of course. Norsk actually seems very logical to a dutchy like me. I copied and pasted more than 600 norwegian bird names and I learned words like meis, and and sanger. Not too difficult since it is: mees, eend and zanger in dutch, ha, ha.

Takk!
Helen.

Hello Helen,

"Bird names translator" can be translated as "Преводач на имената на птиците".

Yes, actually Cyrillic has been created for Bulgarians while Russians started using it later. This is history. However, Russia is far more well-known than Bulgaria and a lot of people even do not know where my country is located. I've heard various things:
- in Italy: (speaking in Italian)
* Where are you from?
* Bulgaria
* Ah, Albania, we know this country.

Talking to three independent Brazillians(this time in English)
* Where are you from?
* Bulgaria
* Ah, Hungary, yes I know it.

I've just gotten used to hearing anything else but the real facts. People just lack information about my country but after we entered EU in 2007, we are more popular.

Sorry for getting so long but it was a kind of response to your surprise regarding the cyrillic alphabet.

If there is anything else, just let me know.

Don't worry, I will soon be a regular Basic4Android user so I will be around

Hello Penko,

Welcome aboard.

Just to cheer you up, one of the best Sumo fighters here in Japan is from Bulgaria.
I guess you don't know his Japanese name... Koto Ooshu or Котоошу.

His real name is Калоян Стефанов Махлянов. More here:
КалоÑн МахлÑнов — УикипедиÑ

Anyway, thanks to his popularity, a large number of people here know where Bulgaria is located.
Another successful Sumo fighter is from Estonia and people are now checking Google maps.

We also have a yoghurt brand here named "Bulgaria", but that stuff did not contribute to geographical education.

 

[Merlot2309]

@ Hi MiniDemonic,

Thank you for the Svenska text . I added it to the market immediately, so hopefully Swedish bird watchers will find it.

@ Hi Penko,
Български is not yet added as a market language !?!, so I added your translation to the English section.
I did remember that Sofia is the capitol (finally proof that school is important ) and when Alfcen mentioned the yoghurt I saw the light again: "bulgaarse yoghurt" is known in Holland as well. And of course Bulgaria is known for the strong men. Even though you only see a few news flashes about this during the Olympics.

Thank you again gentlemen and have a nice day.

Helen

 

[Penko]

@alfcen - you are wrong about me. Kotoosho(Kaloyan Mahlyanov) is very popular in Bulgaria and we all know about him. I know that he owns the "odzeki"(second rang) belt(or whatever it is in the Sumo). He is married to a Japanese girl and they were in Bulgaria a couple of months ago.

Actually, in addition to local news, a big part of Bulgarian newspaper articles, TV news is information about events abroad. Therefore, we know a what about what's happening in the world. I was in fact going to add about the bulgarian yoghurt but you have done it in your post. Actually, my information is that a plane loaded with the "ectus bulgaricus" bacteria flies to Japan every two weeks, providing you with it. It's the bacteria the yoghurt is based on.

Yes, indeed, Sofia is the capital. I am currently living here because I am studying at the Technical University of Sofia but I am actually from Plovdiv, which is the second town in terms of population after Sofia. I go home for weekends.

Helen, yes, we have sports traditions in various activities - rowing, boxing, running, wrestling, winter sports, etc...

Another thing you may know our country for is actually the current intention to enter the Schengen zone of EU. Unfortunately, it's exactly The Netherlands that blocks our entry due to the fact we are being accused of not taking enough measures to affect criminality, the Judge system, etc... A very little known fact is that your prime minister has once purchased a house in Bulgaria which was not built after all later. I don't know if it is a personal revenge... For me it would be a mistake to enter the zone now as turning to Euro would not be flawless and the crisis will just get deeper.

Sorry for talking so long )

 

[Merlot2309]

Hi Penko,

What do you study? And in which year are you or rather: how many more years until you get your degree?

One of the reasons I don't like Holland anymore: many people have a very short vision. Since a while they try to block people from East Europe to go and live/work in Holland. I must say that the country is over populated, but I do admire people who try to get a life in a country where they have more opportunities.
That man is a Minister, not the Prime Minister; I heard about it.
At the moment it doesn't seem to be the best time to enter the Euro zone. There are a lot of pro's and cons and I guess you know a lot about it.

The good news for now is that Bulgaria is an interesting birding country (found an interesting birdwatching site and always try to stay positive, ha, ha).

Very best regards for now,
Helen.

Dear Helen,

I am studying "Mechatronics" which is a popular word in the past years. It combines mechanics with electronics. After all, I will become a machine engineer having skills in electronics as well. The picture below explains it in details:

I am first year, 2nd semester. We have just completed our exames (maths I, physics I, materials knowledge I, Chemistry and Informatics). Hopefully, I passed them all.

You will ask what is the relation to computer programming. I have been programming programmable logic controllers(PLCs) for 3 years now. My father is a mechanical engineer and he makes the design and constructions of the machines while I am doing the electrical part and the programming. I was 16 when I started doing it. Everything started when a third-party company failed to finish their job and it was someone that had to rescue the situation. For that moment on, I haven't allowed anybody to program instead of me. Of course PLCs are programmed in a very different way called LADDER programming. It is a defacto standard for PLC programming and is very similar to electrical circuit diagrams.

Before entering into our business, I had no interest in it and had decided to become a computer programmer. But PLC programming is more interesting to me as you see how something moves(sensors motors, other actuations, etc...) while in computer programming your are only limited to seeing something at the monitor. As I said, I was going to study "computer programming" as I was inspired by my uncle who has been a geek for all my conscious life. I have good knowledge of PHP as well as JavaScript. As for desktop programming, I am very familiar with VB.NET(VB6 before it). C/C++ at school...

Programming for mobile devices is a hobby to me although it can turn into good source for additional funds if you have the right idea. I am not a big fan of Apple as they restrict me to use their OS to program for iOS. A year ago I bought a HTC Desire and decided that Android is the OS for me. Unfortunately, Java + Eclipse requires good knowledge of both the language and the IDE. I don't like the syntax and the code looks scrambled to me. I postponed the learning of Java(learning is not the best word, probably "to get use to it" is better). A month ago I reconsidered the idea again and soon after that I found "Basic4Android". I said about my love to Visual Basic and that's why I started reading all the available information about it. At the very beginning, I thought there would be some limitation and it is impossible to be identical in functionality to the "native" way in Java but soon after that my opinion turned into 180 degrees...

I can assure you that my country is very interesting to visit. We have wonderful mountain views as well as a seaside. As for seasides, I also like Greece(my grand-grand-grand father is from Belomorian Trakia). This area currently belongs to Greece but until Balkan Wars, it has been ours.

Check out this map to see what Bulgaria has been meant to be:

And this was immediately after we have been set free from Turkey(the Ottoman Empire at that time) by Russians:

If you are further interested in the maps, check the actual link out:
h***ttp://www.zum.de/whkmla/histatlas/balkans/haxbulgaria.html

I hope there are no Greek and Macedonian people who will get annoyed on what I am speaking. This is history, reality is different

And Helen, various birds can be seen in Bulgaria. If you need further translation from Bulgarian, I will be glad to help.

 

[Merlot2309]

Hi Penko,

That sounds interesting and the schedule makes it quite clear.
Robotop, also a forum member, has knowledge about this when I'm not mistaken. Maybe you will meet him on the forum one day, who knows.
Good to hear that you have set your mind on this study and I hope you will achieve everything you want to achieve.
Hope to hear that you past your first exams.

I started, centuries ago, with Basic. My first computer was a Texas Instruments, 64kb, black and white (or green) screen and costed about 5.000 Euro, ha, ha.
After Basic and VB I learned PHP as well, even made a commercial website for a company; also learned to use Blender which is great (and free) for 3D modelling.

For sure I will ask you about Bulgaria and Bulgarian (and birding issues) and it's nice to learn about a country thanks to someone who knows about it.
There is so much to say about what happened in history but none of us can turn back time; maybe I have been a very bad person in a past life

See you and success!
Helen
