runglish, Transliterate etc

Post by serena »

Moin,

I am new to the board, though, not new to FarManager.

I have a question about the FarManager plugin called runglish. I installed the plugin, but it does not seem to work (or I do not know how to use it).

I am using FarManager 1.70 on an XP mashine. The plugin is Runglish v0.23.

I searched already the booard, and got the message:

No topics or posts met your search criteria.

If someone has experience with this plugin, please share it.

Also, maybe someone knows another (batch) file renamer from Cyrillic to Latin?

Unfortunately, I could not get it running. The output is always in form of some non-readable characters.

Can you see russian characters in Far at all? If not then this plugin won't work for you. You need to set Russian as the language for non Unicode programs.

Thanks for suggestions.

A (stupid) question: how to set Russian as the language for non Unicode programs? Under Regional and Language options this is not possible. Or is this not a system-wide setting?

Do you have Russian in the drop-down list there?

Thanks.

There is indeed Russian in the drop-down list there.

Will try with runglish a bit later. Will post results.

I did set Russian as the language for non Unicode programs. Now I can see russian characters in Far.

Unfortunately, none of the converters really work. Although, it would have been very convenient to have a batch file converter, I found another (time intensive) solution - a Latin to Cyrillic online converter.

Thanks anyway,

S.

I used Runglish for a few years (long time ago) and it worked perfectly.

That sounds promising.

Did you use Runglish in the batch mode?

thanks,

What do you mean by batch mode? Runglish has no automatic (online) convertion, you need to write the text (select a block if needed) and then run the plugin.

Sorry: I was not precise.

By batch mode I mean to rename multiple files (convert multiple file names) with one single command.

I know how to do that manually - file by file. But, if I understand right, Runglish should be able to rename/convert multiple files with a single command?!?

thanks,

s.

Runglish is for transliterating text in the editor. To rename files with transliteration you need a totaly different plugin. There are several such plugins, the one that I know of is "Transliterate" which is a sub-plugin for the " Search And Replace" plugin. You can find them both at the plugring.

But in the Runglish description is following: FAR plugin for cyrilliclatin text conversion (Runglish v0.23). I interpreted it as a file rename utility.

But you might be right.

Thanks!
