[06:29] hi bomberman nice to see you here [06:29] inetpro, superfly, Kilos website events updated with new dates [06:29] Yeah Kilos, been a while :| [06:30] bad man [06:31] site link bomberman ? [06:32] hi Kilos [06:32] hi bomberman! [06:33] Kilos: http://ubuntu-za.org/ look on the left [06:33] ty [06:36] is that the same one that opened slow last night [06:36] was quick here now [06:38] ty for updating all the meeting dates [06:40] bomberman, are you related to megaman? [06:51] psyatw: no, he's the original bomerman [06:51] (is everyone here so young they don't get that reference??!!) [06:51] hi Vince-0 [06:52] im too old to get it [06:52] haai [06:58] hi superfly [06:58] hi Vince-0 [06:59] surp === Trixar_za is now known as Trix[a]r_za [07:02] Morning everyone [07:05] good evening [07:07] Evening ? [07:07] ask Kilos [07:07] hehe ok [07:08] Oom Kilos , wat gaan aan ? [07:09] Does anybody know how I could translate an entire Libre Office calc (.xls) sheet ? [07:09] translate? nope [07:10] Wouldn't be a valid question for Askubuntu he? Cos it's not Ubuntu related ? [07:11] translate the language? [07:11] hi mazal tonberry352_ [07:12] hehe [07:12] hi [07:13] mazal, libreoffice is ubuntu related [07:13] Ok , gonna try and hope to not get scolded [07:13] best place to ask funny questions like that is google [07:13] Google don't know [07:13] then last resort ask here [07:13] Not yet anyway , checked through first few pages of results [07:13] hmm... [07:14] hi psyatw, not related to megaman. sorry. [07:14] what do you want to convert it to? [07:14] tonberry352_, yes , translate from Afr to Eng [07:15] how many rows to translate mazal? [07:15] If it is just text, convert to csv and find something that can translate plain text files. [07:15] lemme check [07:15] no translaters do a good job [07:15] No idea how to do it if it has formulas. [07:15] pay someone... [07:16] 1121 rows , 2 columns [07:16] Just txt [07:16] is it a secret document [07:17] No it's a scriptures sheet [07:17] did you try Google translate? it doesnt seems long. I would create an English column then copy 50-100 rows at a time into Google Translate [07:17] It's what I build up over the past 2 years , now one of my friends needs this truths desperately , but she is english [07:18] you speak good english [07:18] But I want her to have the whole document. There is too much food in there to go through quickly. Will take her time [07:19] bomberman, google translate just went bonkers on me. Froze up completely [07:19] mazal try to paste 20 rown into Google Translate. [07:20] I think I should try that [07:20] you could put it in a html document and upload it to the internet. She can look at it with Chrome which will offer do translate the whole doc automatically. [07:20] hmm [07:20] Whatever I find that works must be easy repeatable. It updates almost daily [07:21] But where would I put the html doc ? [07:22] you could put it in dropbox and share the link. [07:23] and you have a ubuntuone account [07:23] are these scriptures from the Bible? You could give her the book and the verse references. [07:25] Software Freedom Day start guide -> http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/StartGuide [07:26] bomberman, yes [07:27] Over 1100 sections with multiple scriptures for each [07:27] whew [07:27] So I want her to have the doc in English. Is too many too give one by one [07:28] mazal I dont think a translation engine would be the best to translate biblical verses. It is geared more towards general every day language. [07:29] Oom Kilos > http://www.mediafire.com/download/97e7rmbu7uh0k8y/Spreek_Heer_ek_luister.zip [07:29] It conatins the references bomberman , not the verses themselves [07:30] mazal, also a couple at a time would be better to do so you can explain each one [07:30] Kilos I want het to have it with her , so when she has question re a specific thing then she can easily go check it up [07:30] I am not always around to help [07:30] ah [07:32] And I made a quick check on google translate for the only 20 rows at a time plan. But it can't translate Bible book names correctly :-( [07:33] End-of-central-directory signature not found [07:33] Huh ? [07:33] it wont unzip here [07:33] Can I dcc it to you ? [07:34] ya [07:34] yes, that's what I was afraid of mazal. [07:35] bomberman, is a tricky one this. I might have to find someone strong enough in English who would be willing to do it manually [07:37] whew [07:37] I can see. I got the file. Its a reference list. Google translate really wont work :( [07:37] Does it unzip at your side bomberman ? [07:38] thats gonna have to be done manually [07:38] yes, worked on my side mazal [07:38] Kilos, fix your unzipper lol [07:39] lol [07:39] bomberman, what zip tool you use? [07:40] oh you on win [07:40] Shouldn't be relevant. It was zipped in Ubuntu [07:40] aw wassup my ubuntu [07:41] zip is zip. lol. Maybe your download didnt work Kilos and you ended up with a corrupted file. [07:41] it says it can be opened with winzip for windows and mac [07:42] yeah maybe [07:42] ill try again [07:43] eish now it wants me to authorise and type in that funny thing i cant even read [07:43] grrr [07:46] dcc worked so i leave that mediafire thing [07:46] mazal. Create a new column in the sheet and call it English, then only copy 50 rows from the first column into Google Translate. Then copy the result in the new English column. It looks pretty well the translation. Dont include the book names in the Google Translate [07:47] Kilos you broke my mediafire ? lol [07:47] oops sorry [07:47] Booknames part will have to be manual I think bomberman [07:47] i told it skip the captcha goed [07:48] then it hung [07:48] It thinks your a bot [07:49] use ubuntuone or dropbox or even mailbigfile for stuff [07:49] but not now [07:49] mailbigfilewprks well [07:49] works well [07:49] I never have problems with mediafire [07:49] You are the first one [07:50] im always the first with any prob [07:51] filegooi.co.za is another option if you don't want to share many files [07:51] my pc dont like win stuff unless it is with remmina so i got control [07:52] mazal for the book names you can do find-> replace, eg find Markus -> replace with Mark. Of course in the right column only :) [07:52] Brilliant idea bomberman , didn't even think of that :-) [07:52] mornings [07:53] Work calls , have to run for now [07:53] hi ThatGraemeGuy you missed last nights meet [07:53] l8tr guys [07:53] hi trender [07:53] bye mazal [07:53] yo [07:54] Kilos: you should know by now i'm not around in the evenings ;-p [07:55] ya but that dont mean i cant nag till you attend meets 1 hour a month [07:56] ThatGraemeGuy: meeting moved to 4th Mondays @ 8pm [07:56] you been online before in the evening so one can hope [07:57] that's when something breaks at work [07:57] haha [07:57] which is hardly ever :-p [07:57] You must make things so they break at 9am only :) [07:58] i prefer them not to break at all, so things are built to tolerate failure [07:59] its rare when i need to poke things after hours [08:00] On Error Resume Next -> silent fail ;) [08:18] hi not_found [09:08] good morning [09:08] hi Kilos [09:08] Maaz: coffee on [09:08] * Maaz flips the salt-timer [09:08] hi charl [09:08] Maaz, coffee on [09:08] Kilos: There's already a pot on.
