Version 3.7.6 Available for Testing

[fred]

You can update your BBO to 3.7.6 at:

 

www.bridgebase.com/beta376/bbo_update.exe

 

Or download everything (including the files for 3.7.6)

from scratch through:

 

www.bridgebase.com/beta376/bbo_setup.exe

 

I suggest you use the first method.

 

The big exciting thing about 3.7.6 is that it is multilingual.

In theory this version will detect if your PC is set to one

of the following languages:

 

English

French

Spanish

Italian

Polish

Romanian

Czech

German

 

and, if it is, the vast majority of what you see during a

typical BBO session will appear in your language.

 

You can also manually set the language to any of the

above through the Options dialog box (use the toolbar

button that looks like a gear to access this).

 

There are some things that will appear in English:

 

- Everything that is a bitmap (including the pictures in the

dialog box that appears when BBO is first launched, the

buttons on the toolbar, our "banner ads", etc...)

 

- Everything that comes from a file on the server (the

text of the lobby news, contents of Bridge Library and

Online Store, Bridge Master movies, etc...).

 

You will also notice that there are some places in which the

translation does not fit properly. We will try to work on this,

but it may be slow. The interface was designed for English

and sometimes there is no good way to add enough screen

space to allow for longer translations to be displayed.

 

This was a huge project and a lot of people were involved.

Chances are some mistakes have been made. Please let us

know if you find any translations that appear to be either

missing or incorrect. Some of the languages we are releasing

are still being worked on. New versions of languages (And

new languages) will be released when they are ready.

 

Thanks to all of our translators for their excellent and speedy

work! If you are interested in working on a languages that

we do not currently support, please feel free to volunteer!

 

We are not sure when we are going to release a new version

to the general public, but we hope to do this within the next

couple of weeks.

In the Italian version there are longer words of the available space, I will now work still for improving the translation, I hope that the next version will be better
