Welcome.

We don't currently have a Turkish language option, and whether that would be possible mainly depends on whether Turkish uses a lot of special characters that we don't already have.

These are the languages that are currently translated

https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/ ... /languages

And the character set is defined in

https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/ ... _charset.h

If these characters are supported, Turkish language support can be created.
I do not know how to use the files in the link you provided.
I can write and share Turkish equivalents with you over an existing language, for example over the German language package.
Of course if you want.
Greetings.

I can read and write with Google translation forgive for mistakes.

We currently don't have the Ğğ or Şş characters

Also, I don't know what these "Ii Ii" are. They look like normal English characters to me.

"I" when English is large, "i" when English is small.
In Turkish, these two characters are both big and small.
I hope I could explain with translation :oops:

OK. I'm not sure whether the limited resolution on the display e.g. in some places only 6 pixels x 8 pixels per character, would be able to render those characters any differently to simply the large and small 'i' character.

Dear Roger, I couldn't explain it with translation. Sorry about that.
I hope I will try to send it with a picture and you will have a work for Turkish language support.
Thank you, good work.

Ah.

OK.

I understand now.

I think the only characters that we don't have are the "i" and the special G/g characters.

I don't know how to install existing language packs.
For example, I would like to edit the German language pack as Turkish and install it on the device.
I don't know how to install a language pack.
If there is an article about how this process is done, I would like to try it.
Thank you very much for your interest.

Hi,

If you're talking about the firmware, all languages are already compiled inside the firmware, just press <GREEN> button, press the <UP> arrow twice, then select "Language".
I've attached the english version file of the translations.
As Turkish would use "remapped" glyphs, please encode your file in UTF-8 format. Under Windows, Notepad++ editor can do that easily (see Encoding menu).


Cheers.
