Spanish Jukebox
Friday, February 9th, 2007This is a photo somebody took for me of the jukebox whose software I have been editing recently. I didn’t create the software or it’s interface, my involvement mostly centred on allowing the software to display non-ascii characters such as ñ as the machine is being sent to Costa Rica.
I also translated some of the text into spanish as the translations I had been given were woefully poor, saying things along the lines of “You have no credit on the left”, which would be fine if the machine was intended for use by right wing dictators. I also cleaned up the database so that the music categories made sense and allowed the Costa Rican colon to be used in the machine, previously there had been a limit on the value a coin could have which was not appropriate when 500 colons is the price of four jukebox tracks.
