Sometimes in life there are questions with no clear answers. How many bytes in a kilobyte is one of those questions. Is it 1000 or 1024? It really depends on whom you ask. For better or worse we chose to use 1000 for a kilobyte and for 1024 we chose the IEC standard kibibyte. Read on for why we came to this decision.
Here’s a fast update of where we are at with Convertbot and what we are planning over the next few days.
Update (04/09/09) : Version 1.0.1 approved!
We’ve been getting a lot of similar emails about Currencies, Units and what else is coming to Convertbot. This post is an attempt to clear some of that up.
Paul and I were recently interviewed on a developer podcast called Mobile Orchard. It gets a little geeky, but if you are at all interested in how we made Weightbot, give it a listen:
Bonjour, Guten Tag and Ciao. One of the main features of Weightbot 1.2 is localization for other languages. Right now we are planning on doing French, German, Italian and Japanese. We’ve got Japanese covered but we need help with the other 3. It should be fairly simple work if you speak any of those languages, its only ~75 simple strings, a few sentences and the product description in iTunes. Benefits include getting a hold of Beta builds before anyone else and well that’s it.
If your language isn’t covered above but you’d like to be involved please send us a note since we’ll likely expand the localizations in future releases.
