Greek Language Support

If you want to create a Greek xml add the following line on top of the xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1253"?>

I have made, as you can see, a Greek Keyboard and I am using the Greek map of NGI V2006.

Please Advise!!!

Is it just with City? Does street work?

Yes, it's just with City. Street Does work, but when I write the address it does not find it.

Did you add any files to the Common/Interface folder in Centrafuse to add support for the Greek language? If so where did you get the files?

The Greek maps I have do not have this problem, but the street names do not come back with Greek characters either. They are Navteq maps and what was provided to Flux by Destinator.

Also the current version of Destinator I have came with support for the 6 languages Centrafuse comes installed with, if you added another language from some other version of Destinator it might not be compatible.

I reported the issue and they are curious how I even got the maps and loaded Destinator into Greek mode.

No David I didn’t add any files to the Common/Interface folder in Centrafuse, except the voice files for Greek language.

The maps I am using come from NGI http://www.ngi.gr/index_en.php, they make Greek maps for Destinator.

If you wish I can sent you the maps, one in Greek and the other greekglish.

Thank you for your quick response

Any news?

veetid · 11-29-2006, 11:27 AM

I have sent the information over to Destinator...

They say it's impossible to make one version of the application that will work with all the maps and the encoding changes needed for NGI maps would require a different engine to be 100% compatible, so they claim...

I have maps of Greec that are I guess as you put it "greekglish" and those are what I plan to initially sell with Centrafuse until I can get enough business in Greek to afford to purchase the min order for NGI maps and have them create me an NGI engine... Sucks it will have to be a different installer and app to maintain...

I still think they can fix the street encoding and I'm pushing to have it looked into...

I tested these maps and they worked fine... standard D6 compiled NGA Greek maps... the Cities and Streets in the SDK came back more English text, very similiar to a problem I'm having with some Turkish maps...

Their are NGI versions that return Greek characters, there is an issue with the SDK I use with one of the methods for either Getting Cities or Getting Streets which I'm trying to fix...

You might not want to also post download information for commerically sold maps.....

Anything new on the city encoding problem? If I understood well, you have reproduced the problem with the NGI maps and you are pushing DestinatorTechnologies for a solution?

It's sad to not be able to enjoy centrafuse only because the cities are not displayed properly with the NGI greek maps.. (which are the only accurate and updated ones for Greece btw, this is what all the fuss is about)

PS Everything else (favorites, POIs etc) works like a charm in greek in CF1.1..
I don't get it, how everything works fine on their int'l PocketPC version, while it's broken in the SDk...it should be a simple fix..or not?

veetid · 03-05-2007, 01:04 PM

Sent them another email about it today... Last week they said it should be an easy fix, but I haven't received one yet...

I have told them which function to look in and all...

I will hopefully receive something soon and be able to send it out with my update...

http://thegreekz.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4047684Hi,

I have just tested the program called DestinatorPN_pc.

Works fine with Greek Destinator 6 map.
Greek keyboard ,Greek town search ,voice, etc complete with Greek speed cameras.

So there must be a solution for Centrafuse to use this program.
