ruff draft of chunkster ui

slop is Select Language OPtions.. xNAV east

above is SWAP of slop: swap or switch the selected languages



note about slop: it wants to navegate TEXT translations to, meaning if there's a regular text (not twext) translation of an expression of an idea, it too can get twext.. so for example the first file:

ME IS TITLE

i are 
text

chunk me

 
chorus
lyric
saying

can be expressed in spanish

SOY TITULO

yo soy
text

trozeame


coro
letra
dicho

somehow we gotta track these suckers and manage in stack xcroll ui for regular text not twext translation

down the road, slop'll nav existing TEXT translations so they too can get twext.. color coding





below could FLIP the slop: flip the menus but the values remain the same

below could screen FIND results to twxt=english only, as opposed to current inclusive sort find result (stack all twxt langs).. from most inclusive,

btw it maybe good IF searching any TEXT language to include all TEXT (including text that does not have twxt translation to selected twxt lang in slop

a big priority.. there is a sweet spot where the TEXTtwxt input = preview output above.. line between should adjust

if we're looking for simplification, forget global save.. make it like a wiki.. /sandbox is where to play

special attention to slop switch and swap in middle

lotsa ui alternatives.. i just want a tool to use and test so let's choose simple

18#SLOP_select_language_options_menus talks slop in terms of visual appearance.. i like simple flexible.. prettier if tools strong.. i liked the extjs grids a lot, will make animation to show how..

what i really like is testing new stuff regularly.. otherwise i step into the big maybe.. so i'd probably go simplest with dodo face for starters..

and we may delay push roadmap by one week to do one exclusive week of dodo data.. this'll let me do small tests with rodrigo and others while jason and i get real system going public first week of october, como ves?

[edit] add language

image:SLOPbad.gif

slop is select language options.. above is routine to add and manage interface translation.. the detalle of the momento is getting back from + menu, 2 things to add 1) double click to go back and 2) secret back button in x?

nice slop.. it's another way to do the x.. the x is super flexible and i want tools to program it.. that's what the list sorter is about in the slop "+" option to add/remove languages:

this one's rocking the title=url, disintermediated (chunk is not language specific)..


[edit] dropdown +languages

slop select language option menus drop include + link to find/add/remove languages

probably too fancy menu control at this stage and sucks anyway

[edit] xnav left

xnav left instead of centered stabalizes interfaces, esp position of slop

image:StablerSlop.gif

xnav place in upper left locks position of slop menus.. this could be good cause adding langs may get hairy when we get to dialects
