Google Chrome Plug-in for ANC-EM Users (aim: translates the full Main-Menu from Korean to English) - v0.3.0
INSTRUCTIONS
- Because this solution approach is a plug-in for a specific browser, you must use Google's Chrome browser: get it here
- After installing Chrome, get to the Chrome Web Store's showcase for the plug-in: here
- After installation is complete, you should see the button with the 'A' in ANC logo on the top-right of the browser, like this:
- Go to ch2ch web-application
- Log-in normally
- When you see the home-screen fully loaded, click on the button on the top-right
- The translation is loaded (if it doesn't work at first, please try it one more time)
- Continue using ch2ch as usual
NOTES
version 0.3.0 - delivered February 18, 2012
-
What was worked on: first dive into homepage/landing page translation.
- Determination: translate the key navigational elements on the page that is displayed after login (a.k.a. landing page/home page)
- Resolution: welcome message, mailbox labels and tables. (Table contents are currently not vertical-align: top. Suggest this to project contact.)
- Cause: current work scope is only for translation of targeted content, not layout. This sort of UI/UX change points to additional conversations with project contact.
-
What was good:
- current contact for project was honest about lack of budget.
-
Impediments to Progress:
- Without a form of funding, the project will progress little, if at all.
version 0.2.1 - delivered January 23, 2013
- What was worked on: cleaner-run-time-code & more menu-items
- Determination: translate the left-menu items [main/sub-section/sub-section-item]
- Resolution: main [all], sub-section [1, 2, 3, some of 4 (no titles - they are images)]
- Cause: sub-section 4 is a "Manual" section, which contains links to PDFs containing Korean. How valuable is it to continue translating these? sub-section 5 "Technical" - also needs translation?
-
What was good:
- User Feedback - Email describing issues to be back-logged were well-written.
-
Impediments to Progress:
- User Feedback - User group does not actively use the OTRS ticketing system. The feedback comes in an email, with inline-attached images, which are not as optimized for workflow efficiency.
- Financial - OTRS ticketing system not used, even though it costs a bit every-day to keep running on AWS.
- Financial - No compensation plan made known for the development efforts.
version 0.1 - delivered January 7, 2013
- What was worked on: The main-menu at the left should be in English.
- Determination: a browser-plug-in, for a popular/free browser, such as Google Chrome
- Resolution: only top-level menu items' text to English
- Cause: this is only to suggest a way to BEGIN to use the system
- Known Issues: Chrome Web Store is only available on Windows, Mac and Linux, according to Google
