Hello,
I am very disapointed the program can't locate PBEdata. I used the program to locate it (in "\Carte SD\PBEdata\"), I saved it but same result.
I have put the PBEdata folder at the root of my memory card as indicated and the "SDCARD.txt" seems to be OK.
What can I do?
Thank you for your answer.

Hi, Sorry to hear your problem...

What was the exact error message text?

What is the exact text in the SDCARD.txt file?

Have you checked that there are files within the PBEdata folder? (This sounds dumb but check anyway)

Hi again. Yes UTF-8 works. Thanks.
Here are my danish version of groups, and birdnames.

Hi,

Do you know how to :

[list=]extract the sound files into .wav or .mp3 ?[/list]

[list=]edit the text files to make a full translated version ?[/list]

Hi,

The message I got : "Data files missing! check the storage card"
I have checked the TBEdata folder that do contains : GPS, LISTS, NOTES folders and all the jpx, mpx and txx files
The text in the sdcard.txt: "\Carte SD\PBEdata\"
The main program is on the Sd card in "Program Files\PocketBirds Europe 3.3"

Hi,

Do you know how to :

extract the sound files into .wav or .mp3 ?

edit the text files to make a full translated version ?

Sounds: Extract to MP3... simply rename the audio file extension from '.MPX' to .MP3'

Text: Extract to TXT... simply rename the text file extension from '.TXX' to '.TXT'

Images: Extract to JPG... simply rename the image file extension from '.JGX' to '.JPG'

In other words... all media files are 'normal' txt, mp3, jpg files but the final character of the filename extension has been changed from its normal character to an 'x'. Just change it back to use it.

(The reason for this is that there are over a thousand media files and they were being detected by media players/photo viewers, etc. This was causing problems due to the huge amount of files concerned. With file extensions changed to '**X' these media players ignore them happily )

MAKING A LANGUAGE TRANSLATION

If you make one please do share it on this site!

Change all the TXX file extensions to TXT so you can edit them, OR... you can choose to open a TXX file with Windows' mouse-right-click. The popout menu offers 'Open....' and you can choose NotePad - check the little checkbox that says 'always open this file type with this program'. After you open a TXX file this way it will always open with notpad and you will not have to change all the file extensions to the normal TXT.

In the PBEdata folder are all the individual bird information files.

In the PBEdata/LISTS folder are the bird category lists. You should change the file 'index1.txx' (change to txt to edit). This is the ONLY list you need to change. REPLACE all the common bird names with those of your language. Don't edit the Latin names or the Reference number and DO NOT add extra spaces to the list.

Once you have your main index1.txx list you can run the software and choose the List Editor from the menu. The Editor will load your new index1.txx file. Use the List Editor to create the other list categories in the LISTS folder.

Or you could simply edit each of the lists manually, but it is much easier with the Editor

Have you got the file: "nosound.mpx" in your PBEdata folder?

If not then put any file there and rename it to "nosound.mpx". (The program uses this file to check if the folder has known files in it.)

If you DO have it then let me know..

Yes I do have "nosound.mpx" in the PBEdata folder.

thanks for all the explanaitions

the list is already transleated in french, I'm only gonna work on the 600 text files in TXX to replace them by french text.

It is gonna be a long work pf copy/paste

I'am not going to translate the english text but I will take the text from well know ornithologist french website :

http://www.oiseaux.net/oiseaux/france.html

If there are other french people that would work on this with me, it's gonna take less time, for exemple if we were 6 people, we could do each one a hundred of text files.

for the sounds, I 'm gonna try to extract all "rapace" sounds to build my own "anti pigeon machine" and see if it works.

@ albertorrent

Hi Karma

You said 'The text in the sdcard.txt: "\Carte SD\PBEdata\". It should be:


\Carte SD\

Change this to the above!

If this doesn't work then...


I have compiled a special PocketBirds.exe file for you.

http://rapidshare.de/files/48038589/PocketBirds.exe.html

It has your card address hard-wired into it. It also does NOT check for nosound.mpx file.

I look forward to this work! When it is finished I will be happy to include it in the French language version.

Hi,
Many thanks!
I changed the sdcard.txt and now all is working perfectly.
Nice work!

ok please every one forgive me because I 'm gonna speak french but it's easier for me to explain to french people how to help me to translate the application in french :

donc les listes d'oiseaux existent déjà en Français, il ne reste plus qu'à traduire toutes les fiches d'oiseaux.

Au lieu de les traduire, je propose de les remplacer par des fiches française

j'ai repéré ce site qui m'a l'air d'etre tres complet et qui m'a l'air proposer des fiches de qualité :

http://www.oiseaux.net/oiseaux/france.html

donc ça sera notre source, sauf si vous en avez des meilleures.

maintenant le but est d'éditer les 600 fiches qui se trouvent dans le dossier PBEdata/

et qui se présentent sous la forme 1.txx à 676.txx

si vous avez comme moi windows XP, vous faites un cliq droit sur l'un de ces fichiers puis :

/ouvrir avec/sélectionner le programme dans une liste/bloc note/

ne pas oublier de cocher la case "toujours utiliser ce programme"

maintenant vous pouvez ouvrir directement n'importe lequel de ces fichiers et l'éditer directement.

a partir de là commence donc le travail :

1 ouvrir le fichier txx et séléctionner le nom latin


2 lancer la recherche avec le nom latin sur le site oiseaux.net


3 ouvrir la fiche d'identification


4 sélectionner et copier tout le texte de la fiche


5 sélectionner le texte initial de la fiche en conservant le nom anglais et le nom latin


6 apres avoir collé le texte francais sur le text anglais, suprimer la phrase surlignée cidessous :


7 votre fiche est faite, vous pouvez fermer/enregistrer et passer à la suivante !



il n'en reste plus que 675

je propose de commencer par la 1,

chacun peut commencer par un numéro de centaine par exemple 100, 200, ou 300 et signaler quand il a finit sa partie.

alors, partant ??

@ albertorrent
Sorry to all others for french writing!
Ok, merci pour les explications, je veux bien commencer de 100à 200.
On fera le point un peu plus tard.
@ Sarah
Again, thank you very much for your help!
