How should we understand the expression "Alpha blending" in the item "Alpha blending not drawn as OpenGL not available in this build" of the OCPN_draw_pi.pot language file


Thank by advance.

"Alpha channel" or "Alpha blending" ?


What is "Alpha channel"

[bcn]

Color = RGBA (Red, Green, Blue, Alpha), where Alpha defines the opaqueness or blending, or how much the background "shines through".

Many words and computer graphics techniques for it....but it is Transparency

I find Hubert's explanation very understandable. I understand this is a lack of working transparency when OpenGL is not usable.

That said, it was AISSEAG that had translated this item in the Crowdin in french. I will discuss it with him.

With AISSEAG, we have to adapt the translation of the item in French and the translation in Italian also consequently.

Thinking about it, I am convinced that other translators are or will be unable to translate this kind of item which is not directly related to nautical activities.

Thanks to Hubert and RGleason for their help.
