I'm making a basic translation app for Maemo 5 which will use an already webbased translation service and basically have that in a frame, with a search box and a few options.

Now I'm wondering, what would be the best way to go about this. I'm a bit of a noob, I did do the Hello World GTK+ thing in the SDK though and it looks pretty feasible. A bit confused on the whole GTK+/Hildon thing.

Any help appreciated, hope to complete this little project of mine.

In the context of I heard today about future of Maemo, I would say, go with Qt. It's nicely documented, and easy to use, I would say easier than GTK.

You can try python with this for rapid development or C++ if you would like to have more robust solution.
Still, it depends of your experience and what you have done before.

Hi,

if you are planning to develop your app for now and and future devices, you should consider Qt. It offers with QtCreator and QtDesigner two powerful tools to build the app and especially the UI part fairly simple. Besides the general Qt Documentation, you find as well maemo-specific information and some more infos in the developer FAQ section.

Cheers Daniel

Thank you very, very, very much!

And I was just about to give up!

I'll update this thread and let you know what happens.
