Jouni Miettunen has released a new Symbian OS application.
Release notes:
Release notes:
I've been planning application localization for some time now, but it's always felt like too much trouble. I knew in general how to do it, but the devil is in details.
The wonderful and very informatic (*) PyS60 Forum Nokia Discussion Board contained a link to "Mobile Web Server Tutorial for custom applications" describing how MWS supports localization. This was exactly how I would have done localization, if I had ever actually done it!
The MSW sample was a bit too high-level, so I decided to write some sample code including all the details. Here you are, hope you find it useful!
Please note that initial version contains only text localization, nothing else. Full application lozalication contains more things.

This application turns your phone into a full remote surveillance tool - however, you are not the active spy, but the phone will alert you whenever something interesting is happening.

The basic setup is simple. Set the "agent" - that’s the contact’s telephone number that should be informed in the case of an emergency. Next, place the phone at the place that you want to monitor, for example next to a baby.
From now on, the application will constantly monitor the audio level of its surroundings. If they exceed a pre-defined threshold, the phone will automatically call the agent. As a normal voice call is made, you can now hear the surroundings of the phone in order to judge if something serious is happening.
