Lyrics mode in other languages

Reported by Gabor Horvath | January 12th, 2010 @ 07:19 PM

After the Lyrics mode has been implemented, please add additional tabs for other translated languages.

  • The program should support any number of languages.

  • The SongWriter should not display the translated lyrics under the song, only the English one, as it is now.

  • The SongBook should be able to handle and display the extra languages stored in the mssw files. For example, when a songbook is made, it should be possible to see which languages are available, and it should be possible to select those languages that I would like to include in the book.

Here is an example, and this way it will be clear the purpose of this feature.

Let's say that 50 songs are selected by Czechs and they make a songbook. It would contain the 50 songs and both the English and the Czech translation. I have a few books like this. With the multi-language support of the SongScribe it would be possible that the Italians and the Germans receive the SongScribe files of this Czech songbook and they add the Italian and German translations using the SongWriter, and then they are able to create and print the songbook with these 50 songs in their language.

Currently each country creates their own songbook. This kind of international cooperation would reduce the work to create songbooks from selected songs and publish them in different countries.

    Hi Gabor, Aparajita
    Do you have some UI design idea for this:
    e.g.: using a two column table: in the first coulumn one can select the language, in the second one can edit the translation
    2. using a simple list of languages and a static textarea, one someone clicks on a language in the list, the textarea is updated,...
    other ideas?
