Summary

  • What is the goal of this PR?

    • Improve and add the latest missing Spanish translations
  • What changes are included?

    • Add missing spaces and remove extra unneeded ones (spaces at the end of certain strings and others, i.e. the one introduced in the string Smart Device; actually, SmartDevice is the correct Calibre plugin name)
    • Normalise the use of caps in certain strings
    • Adapting the translation to the one found in related third-party software (i.e. Spanish translation for the word plugin in Calibre is complemento)
    • Shortening some translations to make them smaller and fit better in screen
    • Rewording ambiguous translations (i.e. Volver a inicio could mean to go back to Home, but also to go back to the first page of the current book, so I changed it for a more specific action, Volver al menú Inicio)

Additional Context

  • Missing spaces caused a lack of clarity

    • My main motivation for this PR was the following:

Learning: In the crosspoint-reader i18n system (lib/I18n/), missing translation keys in non-English YAML files are automatically filled with English strings at build time by the gen_i18n.py script. All generated string arrays (STRINGS_EN, STRINGS_ES, etc.) have identical lengths, so runtime array indexing is safe without per-string fallback logic. The system prints "INFO: '{key}' missing in {lang_code}, using English fallback" during code generation when this occurs.

1-339: Spanish translations look good overall.

The translation updates address the PR objectives well:

  • Terminology is consistent (e.g., using "complemento" for Calibre plugins)
  • New keys (STR_FOOTNOTES, STR_NO_FOOTNOTES, STR_LINK, STR_AUTO_TURN_ENABLED, STR_AUTO_TURN_PAGES_PER_MIN) are properly translated
  • The "Selecionado" typo noted in past reviews has been corrected to "Seleccionado" (line 229)
  • Clarifying changes like "Volver al menú Inicio" (line 297) improve UX as intended

Hi @yeyeto2788, @Skrzakk, @pablohc, feel free to check my adjustments.

Maybe some of my changes are not needed; I initially wanted to fix the issue I showed in the screenshots, but then I started making more changes that to me felt like improvements, as the use of caps is more consistent throughout the whole UI when set in Spanish. Also, some strings caused several log errors, for example after installing an update, as shown here.

Looking forward to your feedback. 👍🏻

Hey @DaniPhii! Thanks for making the PR.

I do have mix feelings as I do see OK some of them, let me explain my thinking (doesn't mean it has to be done as I say)

  1. "Función especial botón Power" for me would be "Función especial botón encendido" which is a mix between what is was and your change.

  2. These phrases sound better than you proposal (Perosnal feeling):

    • "URL del servidor de sinc."
    • "cuando se vuelvan a abrir."
  3. Some of your proposed solution sound better (also personal taste):

    • "Mantenga pulsado botón de inicio para reiniciar"
    • "1 min." better for the small space in the UI
  4. STR_FOOTNOTES: "Notas al pie" shouldn't it be STR_FOOTNOTES: "Pie de página"

Also we need to take into account that we might be having different opinions on what sound better based on our Spanish dialect. I guess as a community we should agree at least on what would be the best to use and keep.

Let's open a discussion and talk about it, virtual coffees are also welcomed.

Cheers.

49-53: LGTM!

The "hotspot" translations using "punto de acceso" are correct and consistent across related strings.


74-84: LGTM!

Good alignment with Calibre terminology using "complemento" for plugin references. The multiline string formatting with \\n is correct.


95-103: LGTM!

Abbreviated button label translations appropriately fit UI constraints while maintaining clarity.


187-196: LGTM!

Consistent use of standard Spanish abbreviations "min." and "pág." for time and page count strings.


206-219: LGTM!

Translations are clear and use appropriate abbreviations like "tfno." for "teléfono".


228-229: LGTM!

The spelling has been corrected to "Seleccionado" (previously "Selecionado"). The abbreviated "Selec." for the select action is appropriate for UI space.


253-267: LGTM!

Status bar customization strings use consistent abbreviation patterns and clear terminology.


290-306: LGTM!

The button remap labels use clear ordinal notation, and "Volver al menú Inicio" (Line 297) appropriately clarifies the Home menu destination as per PR objectives.


311-321: LGTM!

Format strings correctly preserve placeholders (%d, %.2f%%), and the % signs are properly used without escaping as expected for this translation system.


336-339: LGTM!

The new auto page-turn strings are clear and the trailing space in STR_AUTO_TURN_ENABLED is correctly placed for value concatenation.

DaniPhii commented Mar 1, 2026

Hi @yeyeto2788, thanks for your reply!

  1. I replaced Función especial with Toque simple as it's the shortest string I could come up with, but at the same time tried to improve the translation; when I read the original translation for the very first time, I understood I was meant to configure the secondary/alternate/special function for the Power button, but I couldn't be sure how it would be triggered once set, as it could be long pressing it or just a single click. But Pulsación simple botón encendido would've been too long, so I went with Toque instead of Pulsación (but maybe it could be even shorter if we say Clic and keep it even closer to the original string in English).

  2. I'm quite neutral about those two, so I reverted my changes there.

  3. While reviewing all what you mentioned, I thought it could even be clearer, so I slightly reworded it.

  4. I totally agree with you, I think I wanted to say Notas al pie de página but trimmed it incorrectly… 😅

I hope I covered everything, thanks again for your help!

## Summary

It's been a little while since the last release, but the community has
been incredibly busy. With 155 changes from 48 contributors (30 of which
were new!), there was a lot to cover. Here are some of the highlights:

**🔤 Kerning, Ligatures, and Font Improvements**
Text rendering gets a significant upgrade with proper kerning and
ligature support, fixed-point fractional x-advance for more accurate
character placement, and font compression improvements that reduce flash
usage.

**📝 Footnotes**
Footnote anchor navigation lets you select a footnote reference and jump
to the footnote text, then jump back. Slim footnotes support is also
available for books that use inline footnotes.

**📖 EPUB Optimizer**
A new integrated EPUB optimizer can clean up and reprocess books for
better compatibility with the reader, directly from the device.

**🔋 Battery Charging Indicator**
You can now see when your device is actively charging, with a visual
indicator on the battery icon.

**💾 Crash Diagnostics**
When something goes wrong, the firmware now dumps a crash report to the
SD card — even without USB plugged in. This makes it much easier to
report and diagnose issues.

**🌐 New Languages**
The community continues to expand language support. New in this release:
Turkish, Danish, Finnish, Polish, Dutch, Belarusian, Italian, Ukrainian,
Romanian, Catalan, Vietnamese, and Kazakh — along with significant
improvements to existing translations.

**📂 File Management**
Multi-select file deletion, BMP image viewer in the file browser, hidden
directory browsing, and long-click file deletion from the file browser.

**⚡ Performance**
Under the hood, text layout switched from `std::list` to `std::vector`,
HTML entity lookups are now O(log(n)), font rendering is faster, image
decode is 5-20% faster with per-pixel overhead eliminated, and multiple
string allocation hot paths were eliminated. Pre-indexing of the next
chapter also reduces page-turn latency at chapter boundaries.

---

Along with all of the above, there are many other additions including
**WebDAV support**, **auto page turn**, **QR code for current page**,
**split status bar settings**, **screenshot capture**, **JSON-based
settings migration**, **light/dark theme groundwork**, and a long list
of stability fixes and translation improvements.

Unintendedsideeffects pushed a commit to Unintendedsideeffects/ForkDrift-crosspointReader that referenced this pull request Apr 4, 2026
It's been a little while since the last release, but the community has
been incredibly busy. With 155 changes from 48 contributors (30 of which
were new!), there was a lot to cover. Here are some of the highlights:

**🔤 Kerning, Ligatures, and Font Improvements**
Text rendering gets a significant upgrade with proper kerning and
ligature support, fixed-point fractional x-advance for more accurate
character placement, and font compression improvements that reduce flash
usage.

**📝 Footnotes**
Footnote anchor navigation lets you select a footnote reference and jump
to the footnote text, then jump back. Slim footnotes support is also
available for books that use inline footnotes.

**📖 EPUB Optimizer**
A new integrated EPUB optimizer can clean up and reprocess books for
better compatibility with the reader, directly from the device.

**🔋 Battery Charging Indicator**
You can now see when your device is actively charging, with a visual
indicator on the battery icon.

**💾 Crash Diagnostics**
When something goes wrong, the firmware now dumps a crash report to the
SD card — even without USB plugged in. This makes it much easier to
report and diagnose issues.

**🌐 New Languages**
The community continues to expand language support. New in this release:
Turkish, Danish, Finnish, Polish, Dutch, Belarusian, Italian, Ukrainian,
Romanian, Catalan, Vietnamese, and Kazakh — along with significant
improvements to existing translations.

**📂 File Management**
Multi-select file deletion, BMP image viewer in the file browser, hidden
directory browsing, and long-click file deletion from the file browser.

**⚡ Performance**
Under the hood, text layout switched from `std::list` to `std::vector`,
HTML entity lookups are now O(log(n)), font rendering is faster, image
decode is 5-20% faster with per-pixel overhead eliminated, and multiple
string allocation hot paths were eliminated. Pre-indexing of the next
chapter also reduces page-turn latency at chapter boundaries.

Along with all of the above, there are many other additions including
**WebDAV support**, **auto page turn**, **QR code for current page**,
**split status bar settings**, **screenshot capture**, **JSON-based
settings migration**, **light/dark theme groundwork**, and a long list

## Summary

It's been a little while since the last release, but the community has
been incredibly busy. With 155 changes from 48 contributors (30 of which
were new!), there was a lot to cover. Here are some of the highlights:

**🔤 Kerning, Ligatures, and Font Improvements**
Text rendering gets a significant upgrade with proper kerning and
ligature support, fixed-point fractional x-advance for more accurate
character placement, and font compression improvements that reduce flash
usage.

**📝 Footnotes**
Footnote anchor navigation lets you select a footnote reference and jump
to the footnote text, then jump back. Slim footnotes support is also
available for books that use inline footnotes.

**📖 EPUB Optimizer**
A new integrated EPUB optimizer can clean up and reprocess books for
better compatibility with the reader, directly from the device.

**🔋 Battery Charging Indicator**
You can now see when your device is actively charging, with a visual
indicator on the battery icon.

**💾 Crash Diagnostics**
When something goes wrong, the firmware now dumps a crash report to the
SD card — even without USB plugged in. This makes it much easier to
report and diagnose issues.

**🌐 New Languages**
The community continues to expand language support. New in this release:
Turkish, Danish, Finnish, Polish, Dutch, Belarusian, Italian, Ukrainian,
Romanian, Catalan, Vietnamese, and Kazakh — along with significant
improvements to existing translations.

**📂 File Management**
Multi-select file deletion, BMP image viewer in the file browser, hidden
directory browsing, and long-click file deletion from the file browser.

**⚡ Performance**
Under the hood, text layout switched from `std::list` to `std::vector`,
HTML entity lookups are now O(log(n)), font rendering is faster, image
decode is 5-20% faster with per-pixel overhead eliminated, and multiple
string allocation hot paths were eliminated. Pre-indexing of the next
chapter also reduces page-turn latency at chapter boundaries.

---

Along with all of the above, there are many other additions including
**WebDAV support**, **auto page turn**, **QR code for current page**,
**split status bar settings**, **screenshot capture**, **JSON-based
settings migration**, **light/dark theme groundwork**, and a long list
of stability fixes and translation improvements.

## Summary

It's been a little while since the last release, but the community has
been incredibly busy. With 155 changes from 48 contributors (30 of which
were new!), there was a lot to cover. Here are some of the highlights:

**🔤 Kerning, Ligatures, and Font Improvements**
Text rendering gets a significant upgrade with proper kerning and
ligature support, fixed-point fractional x-advance for more accurate
character placement, and font compression improvements that reduce flash
usage.

**📝 Footnotes**
Footnote anchor navigation lets you select a footnote reference and jump
to the footnote text, then jump back. Slim footnotes support is also
available for books that use inline footnotes.

**📖 EPUB Optimizer**
A new integrated EPUB optimizer can clean up and reprocess books for
better compatibility with the reader, directly from the device.

**🔋 Battery Charging Indicator**
You can now see when your device is actively charging, with a visual
indicator on the battery icon.

**💾 Crash Diagnostics**
When something goes wrong, the firmware now dumps a crash report to the
SD card — even without USB plugged in. This makes it much easier to
report and diagnose issues.

**🌐 New Languages**
The community continues to expand language support. New in this release:
Turkish, Danish, Finnish, Polish, Dutch, Belarusian, Italian, Ukrainian,
Romanian, Catalan, Vietnamese, and Kazakh — along with significant
improvements to existing translations.

**📂 File Management**
Multi-select file deletion, BMP image viewer in the file browser, hidden
directory browsing, and long-click file deletion from the file browser.

**⚡ Performance**
Under the hood, text layout switched from `std::list` to `std::vector`,
HTML entity lookups are now O(log(n)), font rendering is faster, image
decode is 5-20% faster with per-pixel overhead eliminated, and multiple
string allocation hot paths were eliminated. Pre-indexing of the next
chapter also reduces page-turn latency at chapter boundaries.

---

Along with all of the above, there are many other additions including
**WebDAV support**, **auto page turn**, **QR code for current page**,
**split status bar settings**, **screenshot capture**, **JSON-based
settings migration**, **light/dark theme groundwork**, and a long list
of stability fixes and translation improvements.

## Summary

It's been a little while since the last release, but the community has
been incredibly busy. With 155 changes from 48 contributors (30 of which
were new!), there was a lot to cover. Here are some of the highlights:

**🔤 Kerning, Ligatures, and Font Improvements**
Text rendering gets a significant upgrade with proper kerning and
ligature support, fixed-point fractional x-advance for more accurate
character placement, and font compression improvements that reduce flash
usage.

**📝 Footnotes**
Footnote anchor navigation lets you select a footnote reference and jump
to the footnote text, then jump back. Slim footnotes support is also
available for books that use inline footnotes.

**📖 EPUB Optimizer**
A new integrated EPUB optimizer can clean up and reprocess books for
better compatibility with the reader, directly from the device.

**🔋 Battery Charging Indicator**
You can now see when your device is actively charging, with a visual
indicator on the battery icon.

**💾 Crash Diagnostics**
When something goes wrong, the firmware now dumps a crash report to the
SD card — even without USB plugged in. This makes it much easier to
report and diagnose issues.

**🌐 New Languages**
The community continues to expand language support. New in this release:
Turkish, Danish, Finnish, Polish, Dutch, Belarusian, Italian, Ukrainian,
Romanian, Catalan, Vietnamese, and Kazakh — along with significant
improvements to existing translations.

**📂 File Management**
Multi-select file deletion, BMP image viewer in the file browser, hidden
directory browsing, and long-click file deletion from the file browser.

**⚡ Performance**
Under the hood, text layout switched from `std::list` to `std::vector`,
HTML entity lookups are now O(log(n)), font rendering is faster, image
decode is 5-20% faster with per-pixel overhead eliminated, and multiple
string allocation hot paths were eliminated. Pre-indexing of the next
chapter also reduces page-turn latency at chapter boundaries.

---

Along with all of the above, there are many other additions including
**WebDAV support**, **auto page turn**, **QR code for current page**,
**split status bar settings**, **screenshot capture**, **JSON-based
settings migration**, **light/dark theme groundwork**, and a long list
of stability fixes and translation improvements.
