Tranlated strings in Challenge checkers

Mon, 09 Mar 2015 19:00:13 +0000

I was thinking that it would be cool to have translated messages from challenge checkers. Sometimes when I browse through the scripts I'm pretty sad that some results are in different languages whenever they should be universal.

I was thinking that using gettext shouldn't hurt so much even in Lua and extracting new strings should be also doable. Only thing is to learn script authors to use them, but I think this is not much issue.

(just another idea)

Can challenge checkers have adjustable parameters (i.e. date placed/found, state/country, word in title)?

What started this question was coming across another challenge to spell a word with the first letter of cache names. This particular word hasn't been addressed yet. There are a growing list of checkers that will do this and they all seem to be the same - except for the word(s) to spell. So I wondered if there is a place for a more generic checker that takes parameter entries.

This approach might also address the auto-checker function by making it easier for cache owners to link to checkers.

Thanks for your consideration.

(I searched the forum, but could not find this type of question being addressed.)
