Out of curiosity, I decided to check out the French translation, but i can't seem to activate it.. I tried adding both French and French/France to the Languages section in my Firefox preferences
Click to expand...
Not everything is translated yet. actually the visible changes are low. Most of the translation I made so far was error messages. A good hint is : in the breadcrumb is the root level 'home' or 'acceuil' ?
To actually debug this hit [F12] in firefox, click on the "network" tab and then [F5] to reload. Now click on the 1st entry in the list and check the value for "Accept-Language".if this contain fr-FR then french translation should be enabled.

Is there a way of switching the translation manually? (I've noticed that many pages with multiple translations tend to do this with a dropdown selection box near the top right corner of the page)

I dislike this idea a lot
I never had to actually set my accept language anywhere. Browsers are "smart" enough to get that by defaut the language it is using currently is probably the one the user want.
It's not because some doesnt get the reason for standards that we should overwrite the desired language of someone...
 
I'd say a manual language selection override should be a mandatory feature if it tries to be clever, just like with mobile/desktop websites. I personally follow quite complicated rules whether I want to see pages in swedish or english.

It still says Home for me.

Code: 
Accept-Language:   fr-fr,fr;q=0.8,en-gb;q=0.5,en;q=0.3

The point isn't to override the user's default selection but to let the user override the default selection if they choose.

Yes thanks :) It's ISO Optical Drive, it was ported by @Wally and I don't even know what's inside there (I have still to read DBP documentation), also the title was misspelled :D
Have a look at the SORR page, the bigger/smaller screenshots are constantly pushing up and down the elements under them, could you force a box with fixed dimension for images ?

Oh really. I can fix it for you ;)

DBP is just squashfs with a data / meta folder inside, you can use dbputils to extract them ;)
 
Now there are some dbps in there (thanks Trashy!) I was able to give the site a more representative test. I also was a bit confused at first the difference between apps and packages, but the explanation on the previous page makes sense. Maybe a few words in a side bar could resolve this issue at the first juncture though.

On looking at an uploaded dbp, I found the desciption etc. box could be higher. Probably just put it above screenshots would work for me. Or perhaps you could move the metadata stuff into another side box. Or make it collapsible, if we have to enable javascript anyway.

Edit: Also, Trashy's differently sized screenshots make the experience a little jumpy below.

Maybe it's better to work on it after the device is there... I'm not documented enough to tell if the parameters for the pandora are still right for newer kernels...
 
Quick suggestion:
Maybe the screenshots should be scaled to a fixed size.

I was trying to read a description, but it was a bit annoying as it was always jumping up and down due to the auto-slide of different sized pictures :)
 
set a fixed height and let the width adjust (if desired), to allow pictures to maintain their aspect ratios.
(/suggestion).

The french "Accueil" has a typo.

:D I'm that bad in human languages :) feel free to have a complete look at the french translation and fix the spelling errors

Also I like too the power to choose if to change language... :)

Yeah... the IRC guys managed to convince me it's a good feature. you'll have your language drop-down.
PowerGod provided an Italian translation :)
And I'll work to finish translation integration. (which mean that there's a new batch of strings to translate to come)

I actually dislike most of the pages. Packages and apps lists are shitty at best. I didn't wanted to have boring lists, so I tried something else. The result is ugly. Better UI mockup (including pagination and stuff) are welcome.
Package page and apps page are too alike to my liking. Beside all these tabs, the cluterred UI, it just dont work. So better UI is also welcome (as mockup or code).
Some have noted that the categorie sidebar only make sense when displaying apps (list or page) which is indeed true. That's also something to rework.
To tell the truth, I'm a shitty UI designer. Beside, I've worked a little over a week on this project that's all.

That's the plan. Question : what size ? I want this to work on any device. The site actually work ok on phones currently.
 
The file size would be another good field to have.
 
A few changes :
  • added file size, md5 and sha1 hash
  • added translation support on the javascript side (so many more things are translated, actually i'm having the repo nearly translated to french now)
  • Forced the height of the screenshot
Still todo based on the feedback :
  • Language dropdown
  • Force height of field in the app lists and package lists for a more consistant look
  • RSS feed
  • Delete package
  • Disable package/app/version
  • Add boards login/logout links where appropriate
  • Investigate the "Stay logged in" issue

Automatic Language selection is still not working for me. It still shows up in English, even though my default language is currently French. (and for the record that language selection has been honoured on other sites)

There's now a javascript error on the console though.
TypeError: langArray is null
repo.js:67

hrm... I also cant access all the app and package details that I could previously. Selecting SORR on the Packages page just shows me a mostly blank screen. Selecting it on the Apps page seems to do nothing more than update the header line to show it is selected. The content is the same as the app list.
