LineupNX v2 Update

Not lost in translation! The long road from English to Tamil and Urdu  We have been preparing v2 for translation into several languages. It has meant rearranging much of the code to make all the text that appears on the screen easy to export to people who will do the translation. While doing this we had a request to create a version that would be able to work in languages that use completely different alphabets or symbols, languages like those of South Asia -- Tamil, Urdu or Hindi. Since modern computer program languages, like the one in which LineupNX is written, use a system called 'unicode' the representation of the different language scripts is not actually that hard. Here is some Tamil on the LineupNX teleprompter (please don't try to translate -- the text is a transcription, not translation of an English text). But that is only the beginning. Translation of all the menus and messages comes next. And then the hard part... how do you do logins and permission levels? What about file name conventions and directory structures based on days of the week? Those are the issues we are dealing with now. Some of the challenges that make this project so interesting.   New features New icons Video asset preview from the desktop Drag and Drop Edit in place in rundown Other alphabets including Hindi, Tamil and Urdu can be used More to come
