SFD Countdown
Currently available in: English
Needs help for translation: Portuguese-Portugal - Portuguese-Brasil - Swedish - Swahili - Ukrainian - Spanish - Catalan - Français - German - Simplified Chinese - Traditional Chinese
Design changed a few years back so maybe you need to redo all images (99) or maybe only the 01.png, 00.png, 00here.png where there is a date. Languages left to be done: Serbian Cyrillic - Serbian Latin - Russian - Estonian - Persian - Arabic - Greek
In order to enable a additional language here is the process:
Download source files or create your own based on it. We've used VDS Fonts and Averia fonts on top of the SFD specific logo fonts. For Chinese we're using the AR PL Sungtil GB and Noto Sans CJK SC.
- If you're translating while there are still more than 99 days left:
- Generate 99 'days' +3 banners: max date left down to 01 countdown, a 'get ready for', a 'today' one and a 'see you next year' one
- If you're translating and the coundtown has already started:
- Generate as many days left +2 banners: max date left down to 01 countdown, a 'today' one and a 'see you next year' one
Create a <insert you language code here> sub-page, if it doesn't exist yet and upload all your png images (and translated source files eventually, tar.gz or zipped). Just overwrite the old files and keep the source file of previous years (add the year in the file name)
- Email the sfd-discuss@ or localization@ mailing list letting us know, so we can add one language to the script
Check the English sub-page to verify what is exactly needed, files names and correct size (160x90).
Since we are a global celebration it was important to support the various time zones spreading from UTC-12 to UTC+14 and various languages. Now we have a strong base done for a few languages but we can only add more.
So for someone wanting to add the English version of the countdown and living at UTC-4 (EDT) the link to the banner will be:

The code that we are using is available here.
SVG dynamic version
We thought we could do that but after many discussions including the SVG W3C standard list it seems we were wrong. Of course we could be double-wrong and if you have a solution for us, please let us know.
