Follow-up Comment #3, bug #34972 (project xboard):
Thanks, that was fast.
PGN files should not be changed. The PGN specification does not allow for
that, and it would not be portable.
But I think the move notation should be changed in the Move list window and
other places where a move is shown to the user. And it should also be changed
for typing in the Type a move window.
I agree. But this is something that transcends the normal localization by
string translation by far,
and would require the XBoard routines for parsing and generating moves to
use different
pieceToCharTables depending on the source and intended destination of the move.
Even the -pieceNickNames option is now applied globally to all input moves.
This means you can only use it to define nick names that do not collide
with existing
names fromother sources. So it would be OK to define B and N as nicknames for
E and H in Xiangqi. But defining Dutch names "OPLTD.opltd." with it would
make any P
be interpreted as Knight rather than Pawn, interfering with reading FENs
from PGN.
It is a hard problem, because changing variant has to redefine the
pieceToCharTable anyway,
so to make it work would require XBoard to have a national version of the
pieceToCharTable
for every variant, to be used as a default there.
I don't expect this could be fixed on ay short term, mainly for lack of
ideas how it should be done.
