Yes!, you just need a batch file that came with the SDK, install the SDK and then just drag the package into the batch file (look on the preceding messages and you will see a description)

Thanks - now, it works!

There seems to be a convertion error for ' and it is giving ' instead. Could you fix that before I install 1.04?

Thanks,

Hello, this may seem like a silly question, but how are you guys taking pictures of your Pre Screen and putting them on-line?

Press Option (Orange) + Shift + P. It puts it in a folder called screenshots or something on your Pre. Then just connect in USB mode and you can transfer it.

Aww mehn, for those on 1.04 what can we do?

This and 199 other Tips and Tricks are in the link below. This forum is amazing as many are not documented anywhere else.

looks like a really useful app, wish I didn't install 1.04 so quickly

[milominderbinder]

Roar,

We seem to be getting down to the wire for 1.04 but many will still be able to use SDK or rooting. So please keep it coming!

Is there a chance for this...

Is anyone else having this problem?

Also, since we are down to the final hours, is there any way you could have a CLEAR button? That way the source and destinations could be cleared at one time to let you do your next one.

Finally, could you have a COPY button to allow the export text to be copied easily? That way you can just switch to email, IM, or whatever and paste the text.

Would anyone else like these features?

Again thank you.

Or go into the photos and either search for or scroll down to the "screencaptures" folder and upload them to photobucket (creating an account if need be).

Man awesome program thanks..............

[NOLApre]

there's no reason to not download the sdk. i have an old crappy toshiba laptop and the sdk ran smoothly right away, all i had to do was download virtualbox 2.2.2 and away i went.

it's worth it for the homebrew download capability

So, do u think that its possible to get some semitic in the pre?

All my i-friends do is talk about how they have all these different languaged keyboard on their i-phones. I'd like to one-up them with a translator/keyboard in the right to left languages.

Thanks for the nice homebrew. its helping me get along with all of my non english speaking workers (spanish and french)

[rlopin]

My wife and I each have a Pre. I have 1.03 with the translator app installed, she has 1.04 without the app. While sitting in a Chinese restaurant I translated the phrase "Are you enjoing your dinner?" into Chinese and then text'd it to her. On my end the Chinese characters looked great. However, when she received the text all you could see was one long underline.

Any idea what the issue could be?

[JohnnyPre]

You know. Playing with this program gave me an idea for a language tranlator messenger program. you are part way there. We would be able to chat with foreigners when the Pre becomes available worldwide.

What do you think?

1. After translating, click the airplane icon to send the translated text to a new text message
2. Hold down the shift key with one finger while you swipe across the screen with your other hand's finger to highlight the translated text
3. Touch and hold the gesture area with one finger (the center button will light up) and then hit 'c' with the other hand's finger (this will copy the translated text to the clipboard)
4. Launch email, click the button to compose an email and click in the body of the newly created email
5. Touch and hold the gesture area with one finger (the center button will light up)
then hit 'v' with the other hand's finger (this will paste the translated text from the clipboard)

rlopin, your method (above) is great and with slightest variation also allows copy --> paste to applications other than the email by substituting (launching) an app of choice in your step 4 above.

Unfortunately copy (text) is not supported in the "[Translate] TO" field of Translator can be emulated. Copy would be nice to have, but actually not a huge deal esp. with this work-around.

SIDE-NOTE for ROAR (Translator app developer): it would be great if the "[Translate] TO" field supported the edit/copy function. Fantastic app nonetheless.

Thanks for the responses, I'll consider your very good suggestions in the next update, stay tuned!
