Writer for Chrome International

Over the past weeks I’ve been looking into taking my apps into an international format for when the Chrome Web Store supports international sales.

So far Writer for Chrome is now supported in French, Spanish, and English. I do have further updates to make to it.

I do believe that localization of Chrome Apps will be useful in gaining more exposure overseas. Fortunately I did manage to use limited text in more of my apps, trying to use more visual buttons and graphics did help with more of the overall experience.

Unfortunately this does take a long time to do, and the localization process is pretty intense I don’t understand other native languages so testing is an issue in translation. It would be good if I had an international testing team. If you’re interested let me know.

I’ve noticed that the word dashboard seems to translate to tabletop in other languages.. which isn’t really what I was going for.. but any suggestions would be appreciated.

Chrome Editor is also getting an international language set, and a few new exciting features so stay tuned.

Saving to the Cloud with Chrome Editor

I’ve invested a lot of time into building this new saving feature into Chrome Editor.

It was the most popular requested feature that Chrome Editors were missing.

Basically it’s the ability to save your files to Google Docs.

Chrome Editor will ask for access to your Google account, if authorized it will be able to save files to the Google Docs cloud.

I’m very excited about this feature and the potential it has for the Chrome OS users that are already using Chrome Editor currently.

It’s pretty neat that now you can sync with the cloud from Chrome Editor.

If you want to export from Google docs however, I believe it only supports .html files which I haven’t tried yet. So that might rule out php and js file formats, but you can still save them out as .txt and change them later.

So get ready for the Chrome Editor 2.0 update coming soon.
