Heh heh, so it takes a different langpack.

No no

The langpack I uploaded is just a test to prove that it's possible, if you drag it as it is , you will see that the action "prompt to continue" is now "prompt to continue the loop"

If you want to EDIT the langpack to name some actions as you want

- change extension name of the langpack file to .txt and open it in a txt editor
- make a search (ctrl + F) for the line : 1AA754B58DA60919 (A97D415B0FD742FD for MIDI editor action list)

- for editing a line, remove the ";" at the start of the line and edit

- when finished, go at the top of txt file and give it a name and save it

- now, remove the .txt extension and name it .ReaperLangPack

- drag your brand new langpack in Reaper and restart

Alright community. Anyone got ideas on how we should proceed on fixing the US LangPack? We could all just take a stab at it on our own and post our results allowing people to download one of their choosing and see which one becomes most popular.

WHOEVER CREATES THE MOST POPULAR US LANGPACK WINS! The rest of you will be hanged.
Edit: I am immune to hanging.

If you are serious, maybe divide up into teams to tackle certain keywords.

I will volunteer to change every action that has the word "asshat" to "arsehat"


OK I'm done...

..and an arsehat.

Okay thanks Reno, I think I understand now.

Maybe when I've got a few days to play around I could give this a try. But what happens when you upgrade the Actions whether it's Reaper or SWS actions?

Also how old are the actions shown in this file, are they up to date?

Okay, so now I understand what you meant here.

Nope, waay too late, I completed that one months ago, and added the comma.
BTW, there is an SWS version you can download from his site.

There's a tool to do it, how do you think the REAPER devs do it? (see langpack info) http://www.reaper.fm/langpack/

I'm sure they keep their template up to date. Let's see, are there stretch marker action in there? wtf? NO? WHAT?

Ok maybe they don't keep it up to date. WHAT THE HECK??? Well that's just great, anyone know if there's an up-to-date template? Maybe it simply hasn't been released yet?

Template last modified 01-Feb-2012

I'm not quite as pessimistic about the results that are possible, but I do agree. This is why refrained from suggesting langpacks.

What I'm afraid of, is that some user (or multiple users) will put in the time to solve the inconsistencies with a langpack, and upload it. Then the self-selected group of people here who care about this issue will install and use it ... and stop clamouring for it to be done at source. Lack of voices pushing for it, and JCS may be less likely to sort it out properly.

The way I see it, the community should fix it whenever possible and the Devs should be able to implement the community's work. But maybe that's impossible to have happen. I don't like workarounds, but that's the first step until the devs do something about it.

I'm going to take back my previous ethos and agree with the previously stated ethos. Maybe I'm using "ethos" wrong, anyway...

Yes! We should push for the devs to fix this stuff. We don't want a workaround that few people will ever benefit from. Action names must be universal, especially because I work with other REAPER users, I don't want to remind myself "oh that action has a different name for that person"

"I got 99 tracks and my zero ain't one!" sorry couldn't resist that bad joke!

I too would like to see this cleaned up as it's like playing a texted based adventure game trying to find the right command! You have to guess wildly sometimes

Not much to add except to say if the language pack in question is or can be a text file, replacing key words should be pretty easy in any decent text editor.

OMG... Hey guys I've been learning how to use regex, a code/language for renaming text/words/whathaveyou. There's a pretty good free program called TextCrawler that can batch-rename text in a file using regex code.

I could potentially rename the entire actions list with a few clicks of a button. I could do stuff like:

-find "item(s)" "selected items" "media items"
-rename to "items"

I could start a running list of words/phrases that are the same, and turn all those into just one word or phrase, and we could easily adjust this if we change our mind about what words should be turned into what.

Would anyone be interested in making suggestions/helping out? I could head up this project and make a third-party american langpack that I can maintain, kinda like ReaMenus, but for actions.

The best way is to get a thesaurus built into the action list filter.

You type your key words and it looks up synonyms and antonyms (next, prev) and displays them in different colours to the normal filter results...

What do you reckon?

Yes, it's impossible to name all actions right.
So, action tags seems like a good solution to me, native and custom.

I think in "media items" the word 'media' is probably not needed - though I'm not sure that would ever cause a problem when searching.

I'm glad you don't have the power to do that! "Selected items" are not the same as "items", of course. In all cases the 'selected' aspect should be relevant, but if it isn't then that needs to resolved case by case - not with a batch renamer!

Show should not be used, it should be view. Show is used as a noun to describe a 'show' that you are working on. i.e., I a show is an event that people attend.

Insert means to insert something into a serial configuration. Adding implies that you are making an addition in parallel, or summing something.

Show can be a verb, "to Show" as well as a noun. Actually, "View" can also be a noun or a verb, as can "Insert"

The SWS langpack is available here: https://code.google.com/p/sws-extension/downloads/list (permanent link to the last version).
REAPER can't load additional langpacks ATM so the way to apply additional ones is a bit convoluted ATM :/ it is explained here: http://forum.cockos.com/showpost.php...&postcount=810

BTW, for the stock SWS action, if you see inconsistent names, questionnable English, etc.. do not hesitate to let us know!

What I meant is that the term show is already used in the industry in things like digital console 'show files', so view is less confusing.

Show/hide go together. e.g. "Hide" a thing or "show" it. Unless you prefer hide and unhide...

And "view" suggests "scrolling into view" (locating something that is out of view but not hidden, invisible, or transparent).

Personal opinion, of course!

I've been part of design teams for large companies, where we worked out just these issues, while handling multiple languages too. It's fun, eh? :-)

maybe the action window just needs a simple auto-correct algorithm built so when you use one of the words from this small list in your search it can pull a helpful google move and say "could you perhaps have meant..."

A nomenclature more consistent will help a lot.

Also it could be nice to have subfolders in the action list...so for example you have sub folder 'Track' and all the actions relative to a track, subfolder 'Transport' and all actions relative to transport, subfolder 'Items' and all relative actions and so on....
Maybe a structure like this will help to find what you are looking for.

Hi spinlud-

IMO, the filter is sufficient for that. Type "track" and you get every action that includes the word, but type "track:" and you get just the ones that would be in a subfolder as you describe anyway, unless I'm misunderstanding. You can then refine the filter including "track:" with additional search words. I'm not sure having subfolders would be much faster, would it? BTW, you can in fact search all the "track:" action items by entering just "k:" in the filter if you want to .

Yeah maybe not so helpful, just a more clear vision on wich categories of actions you have in Reaper, it could help a little bit.

Another thing that could help is that when you put the mouse over an element of Reaper, should appear a label with the exact name in the action list that will trigger that element....so it is much faster to search the action relative to that element.

Example:

put mouse over 'MUTE' button on track panel, appears label 'not muted', instead of the action name relative to that button.

Maybe it is to late to implement something like this, but i found it useful when working on cubase and have to create macro actions/shortcut.

You move a file back to it's original time stamp with "move item to source preferred position", which makes it another one of those things that you couldn't possibly find by looking for it : ) (That it's under "processing" is a nit for another thread!)

edit: It's not multiple names for the same thing, but it's a different (incorrect) word than the norm for its use
