Translation

Translate Acelet to another human language does not require any computer programming. All related files are either a text file or html files.
You can use online translate program (such as https://translate.google.com/) to help you. It will save you a lot of typing, but it is not perfect. It needs human touch.

Level 1

1. The most important file is a text file (called properties file) which contains all the words a user sees when the user uses Acelet App. It is about 1,000 lines, it is about 3 words to translate for each line on average. Example:

tx_court=Court

tx_courtAssigned=Court assigned

tx_courtCondition_BACK_TO_SERVICE=Back to service

Each line is divided into two parts by an equal-sign. The left side of equal-sign is a programming key. Please so not touch it. The right side of equal-sign is the words to be translated.
The difficulty for this translate is that each line is by itself, sometimes there are not enough context to translate. So we need to work together.

2. Home page of Acelet. It is two small html pages. It would be easier.
At this point, with above files translated, Acelet App will run for the translated language.

Level 2

This level is mainly for tournament managers, especially for newcomers.
1. Tutorial files. It is in html format.
2. Help html. It is in html format.
At this point, Acelet App fully functions.

Level 3

Other html files.
