chess diagrams utility question

Post by Uri Blass »

I want to copy diagram to words including letters in hebrew for the files near the files and numbers for the ranks near the ranks.

Here is an example for what I mean to be able to copy to a word document for every position that I choose except
the fact that names of files are in hebrew and not in english

Is there a free utility that can make it?
If Not is there at least a free utility that allow me to do it with letters in english?

WinBoard has an option 'Save as Diagram'. The font used for rendering board coordinates is configurable, so you could select a Hebrew font or code page for it. It can be displayed next to the board by switching on the board rim. You can select every board theme your want; the pieces can come from bitmaps or piece fonts, the squares from any bitmap texture or adjustable even colors.

Note that the WinBoard-AA download even includes anti-aliased images for the stadard piece set.

Hello Uri,

I wrote an email to the chess club of Jerusalem:

Alon Cohen said:

Shalom, Myself in order to write in Hebrew I am using the free version of
chessdiagrammer and this is work fine. Coordinates in hebrew is a must.
thanks All the best Alon

It seems that Ekkehard May in Germany is the owner of these websites :

I do not understand how I use coordinates in hebrew in this program.
I thought that maybe I should use in option and setting fonts but I do not see how to install a new font.

I meant that instead of a b c d e f g h that you see below the board in the picture you see letters in hebrew

It seems you have 2 issues to solve
1. Translate the coordinates to hebrew
2. Capture the diagram to word say microsoft word

The issue in (1) can be solved by translating the webpage to Hebrew.
1. Using google chrome web browser you can right-click the page and select translate to english.
2. At the top-right of the page there is a box that offers translation click the options and change translation language to Hebrew. Then click translate.
The page is now translated.

The issue in (2) can be solved by using greenshot program, the one I use to post images here.
http://getgreenshot.org/downloads/
* It can capture a region where you select the the part you are interested.
* It can also capture the last region you captured, this is useful when you browse diagrams from page to page, you don't have to define the region again and again.
* It can save into a word document automatically with a press of a button assuming that you have installed a word document (works in microsoft word).
* Can automatically upload the image to imgur.com useful for posting.

Using Greek.

Thanks
I could follow your instruction when it translated correctly b-h to hebrew but for some reason did not translate a.

I would like to be able to do it for every position that I choose to compose.
and I already found other programs that allow me to compose new positions easily when the problem is only to translate to hebrew.
