Cumulus Support

Hi,

meteoduquebec.com want to launch a new section for Cumulus "skins"

I want to name it "Meteo Faces" (French/English mix)... but for anglophone does "METEO" mean something?

A French guy who need your help!

Thanks in advance,
Jacques

I guess Meteorological means weather basically in English

I believe meteo (météo?) is just "weather".

I think "meteo" is a universally accepted abbreviation for meteorology in any number of languages. We certainly use it at sea in the VOS program with a variety of port meteorological officers as a standard communications abbreviation.

Hi,

Thanks for your help and advices... I'll launch a new section with this logo.

- Météo Faces - will be the name

Thanks,
Jacques

Hi

You have got Mete Faces there, not Meteo. I agree with other contributors, Meteo is a generally recognised term used in a wide variety of locations.

I think the sun in the logo is representing the O of Meteo ?

Thanks,

Hi!

I'm about to refine my translation of the webtags, and I'm stuck on one expression.

Webatg : #nextwindindex
"...the latest entry used is one less than this; but don't forget to allow for the wrap around! "

Can someone explain in other words, what is wrap around
(The only 'wrap' i'm doing is on gift with papers!)

(I understand that #nextwindindex = 101, if I have 100 entries)

Thanks, in advance,
JacquesD

It means that when the index gets to the end of the list of values, it starts again at the beginning (at zero). So if the value is currently zero, the latest value written to is at the end.

Thanks Steve!

... Always so fast to solve our problem!

Best wishes.
Jacques

I see Meteo. I think it just takes a second longer to recognize when a symbol is in place of a letter. Us Texans have trouble with English too.

Hi,

I'm about to finish my configuration helper page and I missed some "expressions"

Then, I search expression meaning "Ready for job efforts"

In French we say "Se relever les manches"... will be "roll-up shirt sleeves"???

and "Mettre les mains a la pŝte" could be "Puts hands in the mud" (but little dirty!!!) ??

Finally, a clock labelled with these kind of numbers I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, is "chiffre romain".... but in english??

Thanks for your help,
Jacques

"roll-up shirt sleeves" is good. In Australia we say "Pull a finger out"
"Puts hands in the mud" = Get our hands dirty (or in Australia, time to take a sick day )
"chiffre romain" - Roman Numerals
