Re: Providing translations for the Skype scripts

This question is on topic for this list, I'm sure.

I don't have a specific recommendation on how to distribute, and I'm actually not sure what methods are currently being used for non-English translations of my various scripts. I've always assumed that translators are either using websites or Dropbox or a similar means of sharing. I do have a Skype group chat for translators and I don't see a German contingent in there. If you want in, small and largely inactive group though it is, send me your Skype username and I can add you. On Mon, Mar 28, 2022 at 12:20:49PM -0700, Marco Zehe wrote:

You mention that translators should proide their translations on their own schedule, but don't mention if there is a recommended way to do it. Is there?

Providing translations for the Skype scripts
Hi Doug,
this is Marco from Germany. I just got into translating some of the scripts I use like Skype and Teams, and began to translate them into German. I didn't find a reference to an existing German translation, so decided to start my own. What would be the best way to distribute said translation once done, so that many people can benefit from it?

Re: JAWS Skype script revision 220 released, to fix issues in Skype 8.82
Doug Lee
Two things I missed in my earlier reply:

First, there is another cause of that message: If you type Alt+1 while in a split-view window (a separate chat window) or an active call window, the field really won't be in the window; but the Alt+1 will then be sent to Skype and will switch focus to the main Skype window. Second, the translation for the scConvList constant must be exactly, including letter casing, the name of the Conversations list in Skype itself.

You will probably need to translate the scConvList constant in the XML file to avoid that message. The command still works because it will simulate the native Alt+1 command when it can't find the field.

I just downloaded the revised scripts and installed them. Thanks very much for all you do to keep the scripts updated! Alan -----Original Message-----

Notable among these was the typing indicator sound, which began playing constantly in all chat windows. I released a temporary fix yesterday (Saturday) but now have a full release for everyone. Go to https://www.dlee.org/skype/#hist to read the release notes. The download link, as usual, is on the same page. Note that this update should only be used if you are running Skype 8.82 or later. Running this updated script revision with an older Skype version is likely to cause a few things not to work as expected. One extra bit of good news: A few of you a while back reported that Alt+1 did not work to move to the Conversations list when a group chat was in focus. This is because Alt+1 is a native Skype keystroke and it did not work in that particular circumstance. In this revision 220 of the scripts, I finally scripted around this so it does work in that case.

Re: new version trouble
Doug Lee
The Windows Defender issue is common because Windows Defender keeps track of which files are known versus

unknown, and of course a brand new file will not be known right away. Every time I update scripts, even though I keep using the same file name, the file is considered "new" by Defender because it is changed. On Sun, Mar 27, 2022 at 12:27:07AM +0100, Michele Barbi wrote:

The constant typing thing can be fixed in the verbosity dialog. Insert plus V, then down to Typing and uncheck the checkbox. On 3/27/22, Michele Barbi <barbi.michele@...> wrote:

I've always used split view and never had that problem until now. Did somebody say there is a revision 217 of Doug's scripts? I'm only getting revision 212.

Re: new version trouble
Would split view cause the type sound to be repeated, if I understand the issue? If not, please correct me.

Re: new version trouble
I'm using nvda, but can you reload the scripts in jaws? I remember you used to be able to do so. If you can, try that in skype for its scripts. I have never had the typer sound continue when I'm not in a chat before.
