OpenBaseMovil
Welcome at » 2008 » March » 27

Every now and then we search Google for OpenBaseMovil to see what the people is saying, how are they using it, etc.

We've found many Chinese and other Asian pages talking about it, discussing certain matters about character parsing and other issues, for example.

We've also found Arab pages that are trying to help people with OpenBaseMovil.

And even Spanish job offers that ask for OpenBaseMovil knowledge.

We are native Spanish speakers, since we're from Spain, and though we decided from the start that this site and all that has to do with OpenBaseMovil should be in English for it to be more global, it seems natural that other languages should be incorporated one way or other to the site, and also to the platform documentation.

It is also clear that it is easy for us to test with different languages like English or Spanish and that there should be no problems with other left-to-right occidental languages like German, French, Italian, etc. But it is a whole different issue with Asian languages, and right-to-left languages like Arab or Hebrew, and that is far more difficult for us to try ourselves.

So this call ask for a couple of things from you:

  1. Do you think that we should create sections with translations to other languages?
  2. Would you be willing to collaborate in the task?
  3. Should we create also language-specific sections in the forums? This raises a moderation issue.

Hi folks,

We've been making some tests of the (Open)BaseMovil applications on the BlackBerry emulator (soon in a real device) and also with some Windows Mobile based devices like Qtek S200 and specially an HTC Touch Dual.

Here are some screenshoots of bmSales, our commercial SFA application running there (click to enlarge, on new window):
