- 1 [Sigia-l] Fireworks notation -- rank: 1000
- I mean the real ones not the Macromedia app. I went to go see a friend put on a fireworks show last night at a sky diving facility. While I was watching the silvers, oranges, and various other colors twinkle and pop, I got to wondering how pyrotechnicians choreograph their displays. Do they use a notation system (sort of like they mention in the movie Scratch), draw diagrams, just make a list? Every one around me is oohing and aahing and I'm sitting there ruminating on how they design the show . Has anyone ever heard how they do work this ...

You can get pyrotechnic choreography software to help manage it for you (of course). is an example of such. ------------ When replying, please *trim your post* as much as possible. *Plain text, please; NO Attachments Searchable list archive: http://www.info-arch.org/lists/sigia-l/

I don't know if you mean this is optimal or not. Whether it's in Frankfurt or North Carolina, there are in fact many people whose grasp of the English language (or any other single/official language) is tenuous at best, and for certain tasks/domains, pretty useless. At some point you may realize that you're leaving money on the table by not directly (sub)targeting and catering to these people. I'm sure you ...

- Ruth Kaufman: > quasi-standard languages that the MTA uses Well, the standard in NYC for multi-linguality are the dermatology and podiatry ads on subways. :-) The point I was making was that this depends on the granularity of expectations. In intensely multi-cultural venues, who do you really want to reach? While there are practical limitations, in digital delivery are official or 'quasi-standard' languages sufficient?

Usually the assumption is that they'll read the English, Spanish or, in NYC, depending on the content, one of the other quasi-standard languages that the MTA uses. I'm thinking of the sign on the #1 train about needing to ...

Many companies aren't multinational (clearly), and this class of countries would be meaningless. The truth is, this list is anything but hard and fast, even within some companies.

You may have to adjust the granularity of that. :-) For example, one of NYC's boroughs, Queens (USA>NY>NYC>Queens), has more than 135 languages spoken by about 2 million people in not more than 100 sq miles. And that's not even the most populous NYC borough.

- Hi Peter, To level set, my understanding of "locale" is a combination of country + language. I normally notate this as a pair of words or codes, such as "CN-FR" or "Canada, French". For a diagram, you could show something like a high-level site map or topology and color-code areas that are a) worldwide content (usually English, relevant worldwide), b) translated but not localized (i.e., worldwide content translated into national languages), or c) localized ( i.e., produced or translated specifically for that region). You could then annotate the nodes of the diagram with lists of locales that the color coding (or ...

Eventually this is transformed to some form like the example I showed below. It all depends on who is writing the user scenarios. So, yes, as with any document, the audience must be considered, so you'd have to have more than one version ...
