We’re pretty excited to push another update to our first Google Wave bot – the AmazonBot. The update includes a refreshed UI, Amazon Marketplaces support, and language localization. We’re well aware of the fact that our translations may be off (we’re trying!) and welcome any and all feedback.
- UI Updates: Maintaining our minimalist approach to providing content from within Google Wave, we’ve retooled the UI so that future bot releases can share the same components. We’ve also added a new settings dialog for selecting your default Amazon Marketplace and preferred language.
- Marketplace Support: Answering requests from users, we’ve added the option to select an appropriate Amazon Marketplace. No point shopping for items that Amazon won’t deliver to your doorstep right?
- Language Localization: Our first attempt for language support. In addition to specifying your Amazon Marketplace, we now offer the option to specify your preferred language. This setting is not shared between all participants and is defaulted to your browser locale. UI brokenness may ensue but we’re working on it. Currently supporting: English (US, CAN, UK), Spanish, Japanese, German, and French.
Shopping Amazon’s Japan Marketplace but still a little rough reading Japanese? Simply change the language option from the settings dialog. Stay tuned for more updates by subscribing to our RSS feed or following us on Twitter @withwaves.
