Hello!
My name is Joerg Renkert,and I am developing a tool called ArtBase.
First, a short description:
In a german forum someone asked, how the users organise their game-collection. After first answers
like "Excel" or "Open Office" otherones mentioned, that we were talking about amigagames and therefore amigasoftware
should be used. So things like "TurboCalc", "Datamat" and other programs were named.
The conclusion of this discussion:
Every user uses other programs for this task.
Mostly every user uses a program, which can export his table using the CSV-format.
Mostly all discussers agreed, that Databases or Table-Sheets are simply to dry for this task.
As I had finished my last projects and had the time for a new one, I desided to Create a tool,
which can display your (existing) databases in an absolutely free configurable, stylish way: ArtBase.
You will find further information and screenshots on the a1k-forum (german):
http://www.a1k.org/forum/showthread.php?t=35819
Now, after two years of development, ArtBase is mostly finished.
ArtBase shall be published in different languages, and so, I am looking for translators for it.
The germand language is completely finished (my native language)
English translation is mostly done by an external translator.
What has to be done?
The Amigaguide manual is about 60kilobytes in size.
The catalogfile has roundabout 300 lines.
The installationscript has about 15 lines.
So I am looking for people, who would translate this peace of software into their native language,
based on the english translation (or the german one, if wanted).
What will you get for your work?
ArtBase will be published as donationware.
Everyone might use it for free, but is asked to pay some money for my work (roundabout 2000 hours).
Everyone, who pays at least 20 Euros, will get ArtBase on a burnt, professional printed cd-rom
inside a DVD-Cover including a printed manual (in the desired language) on high quality paper.
Everyone who helps me developing ArtBase (GFX, betatesting and translation)
will get the above mentioned CD as exchange.
As I want (and hope) to publish ArtBase until the end of 2014, theres no time to loose.
So if you have the time and the interest to translate ArtBase into your language, please contact
me at [email protected]
Thanks for your help!!
Best regards
