    Windows Sidebar AddOn Translations Request

    in Addon Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Helmi

    Helmi the text I need translated has changed slightly (see 1st post) so if you re-translate it (only a few small changes were made) then I will update the de-DE version with the latest Alky

    Roger that, I'll get to it!

    BTW if you don't want the RTM Sidebar (its the only german sidebar I have) plz provide me with a SP1 version of the Sidebar and its Gadgets

    How would I go about that one?

    I do have a German Vista DVD here as well as the SP1, however, neither is currently installed (could do so in a VM if required).

    Can I extract the needed files (could you list/name them, please?) from the install source or does it need to be installed first?

    Thanks again!

    EDIT:

    Here cometh the translation:

    InsTitle ="Windows-Sidebar-Installationsprogramm"

    InstQuest="Wollen Sie die Windows Sidebar installieren?"

    InsFinal ="Gl

    Windows Sidebar v6.0.6000.16386 German (de-DE)

    This is the exact same as my current english windows sidebar addon. The windows sidebar, default MS gadgets and Office 2007 MRU gadget are translated to german (the rest are still english) all shortcuts, cpl properties and info tips are also translated into german (by using the windows sidebar's own MUI's ;))

    Das is gut ya? :D

    Hey, any chance of getting this updated with the latest version of your English sidebar?

    Or, any instructions on how to do this myself? ;)

    Hi Kel,

    Thanks for this, it's awesome!

    Definately! :D

    Quick question, I'm seeing a whole list of items under the heading "Non-Plug and Play Drivers" in the Device Manager. Ordinarily I'd suspect a driver issue, but the items under the heading have titles such as:
    AFD
    Beep
    dmboot
    dmload
    E-mu Plug-in architecture driver
    EraserUtilRebootDrv

    There's about 20 more items.

    None of them have a HWID (Hardware ID) associated with them, so they are not chunks of hardware with no driver, they are all software pieces used by the OS.

    Is this related to this addon? This heading doesn't exist on my current install which doesn't include this addon.

    Any idea?

    This is (presumably) because you have ticked the "show hidden devices" (or similar, can't tell you the exact translation) in the view options (cf screenshot).

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, it not a problem and also not "caused" by Kel's pack.

    The reason they do not have HWIDs is, well, simply because if they did, they actually were PnP drivers, no?

    Seeing as PnP can only work because of the HWID... ;)

    If you are bothered by the device list showing up you can simply untick the option, however, that does not make them disappear, they just aren't being shown anymore.

    While I do let them show on my machine, I cannot recall one incident where that was actually useful (as in I had to tinker with one of these devices).

    Since you cannot and don't have to update any drivers for them it provides merely some more or less useless information about what is "present" in your machine :)

    Are you sure its not fixed in sp3, i used to get this all the time using sp2 and winblinds, but not had it once using sp3 and msstyles. I once installed the vista inspirate pack and it happend a lot then also....

    I have just installed SP3 RC1 today and seeing your post, I immediately gave it a try to "provoke" this error (simply right-click on an entry in the Start menu) and, unfortunately, I can confirm that this has NOT been fixed in SP3 (so far).

    Seeing as it's RC1, I estimate the chances to have this fixed for final rather slim...

    I'm not sure how it is with Vista and SP1 RC1, thpugh...

    As a long-time NOD32 user after having been an also long-time NortonAV user (yes, I admit my sins!), I'd definately say ESET!

    Haven't tried their ESS lately (I did evaluate the Beta 1 with positive results), I can't really comment on that, but I'm sure it inherited all the good qualities from NOD32 ;)

    Symantec/Norton OTOH is (ort rather: has been in the past, I have to be honest that I haven't tired any of their software lately. I was beta testing Norton 360, but that couldn't even be installed on THREE! of my testing machines... :/) really a bloated piece of software with probabaly useless but definately questionable features.

    It's definately nothing for the more experienced user, whereas NOD32 offers all the options I am seeking in an anti-virus solution.

    I have already read and made my own Driver pack. But i wanted to know if "ATI Catalyst 7.10 WHQL Display Driver for Windows XP" , OR "Radeon Omega Drivers 3.8.421 Fixed (Catalyst 7.9) Windows XP" can be integrated as an add-on.

    Well, I can't tell you for Omega drivers, because we only use official drivers (although I am using Omega's from time to time myself when there's problems with ATi's), but I don't see any advantage of using an AddOn for the driver rather than the BASE.

    Firstly, with the BASE, you will have the driver installed right away on first boot.

    With an AddOn, you'd probabaly have to reboot at least once to make it work properly.

    Secondly, the BASE will only install the drivers when the appropriate HW is found in the system.

    You will not run into conflicts on systems not featuring an ATi GFX card.

    With the AddOn, you'd have to have a routine that sorts this out for you, else, the installer will start, then fail because no proper HW could be found.

    Thridly, why create an AddOn for something that has already been covered in a, I dare say, pretty good way, by the DriverPacks?

    I mean, sure, you can go ahead and do it, no hard feelings, but it sounds a bit like a wasted efford, IMO.

    Unless, of course, you really want the Omega package, of course :)

    Ok I had a thought I want to add nero infotool to this but it is a meg in size. does anyone mind?

    No objections on my part.

    I moved to DVD some time ago already (all those DriverPacks became way too huge plus these countless AddOns) so it doesn't really materr size-wise.

    I do consider it a good addition to the CD/DVD Speed AddOn, however :)

    Daemon Tools Lite 4.10 (with SPTD 1.50)!

    So far, I could only find version 4.09.1 (with SPTD 1.50), but no AddOns for 4.10.

    Apparently, from reading the threads over at Ryan's, the SPTD is especially tricky, hence I haven't dared creating one myself (I have succeded in doing so several times before but that were rather moderate ones ;)).

    Hence, this one would be very appreciated :D

    Also, if you still got enough times, why not also Deamn Tools Pro?

    I'm just not sure how the licence key situation would work out on that...
