Proofread latest documentation/update translations

I am preparing for a final release within the next few days. As part of that, I'm updating the documentation with all current features. I'd appreciate it if a few folks could proofread the current draft and provide any feedback. Note that this is NOT the final documentation, I don't recommend linking or posting it anywhere.

This document is for the Devo8. I will use it as a basis for writing the Devo10 documentation, after which time, hopefully we'll be ready for a release.

Also, this is notice that the current strings should be final for the next release, and translators should make any final updates they want to be in the release now.

FYI, here are the important changes since 1.1.2. If anyone has any feedback on anything I left out, let me know:

Major Features:
Devo10 support
Telemetry support (for Devo)
New translations:
Traditional Chinese
Simplified Chinese
Romanian
Dutch
Italian

Minor features:
Quickpages allow accessing frequently used pages
Fonts are stored on the filesystem
Mixers can be reordered
Channels can be reordered
New 'deadband' curve
DSM2 support upto 9 channels
Better WK2601 support
New Hubsan protocol
Power savings (auto-dim display)
New Max and Min muxes for the mixer page

Here's a draft for the Devo10

I've updated the document in the 1st post with a new draft (Draft2). It contains several typo-fixes, as well as some layout changes and some expanded documentation for the mixers and telemetry.

DEVO 6/8:

Page 7:

Tx Option Pages: Selecting this icon provides access to the main-page configuration
screen; the Channel-Test screen; the frequency scanner; and USB mode

...and to the telemetry data.

Configurable Displays: These can be text-boxes contacting input, channel, or timer
data; bar graphs displaying channel data; or icons displaying specific states (e.g. gear,
flaps,…)

...the boxes can display telemetry data too.

Page 10:

Length: Set units to display length for telemetry

...just to be consistent.

Page 22:

Number of channels: Sets the number of channels to transmit.

You could mention, that the number of available channels is protocol dependent.

Just to double check before I spend some money and because I didn't see, or must have missed, discussion on the subject in the forums: is this protocl now fully supported in Deviation and can I order a Hubsandx4 quad to fly with my Devo8s?

I'll clarify that in the docs. The Hubsan X4 is like the V911, it requires installation of a V911 (or ebay/aliexpress) module to work.

The first was already reported.
The Hubsan protocol needs the A7105 hw mod.

BTW the documentation should point that it (end the flysky) does need the hw mod...

EDIT: I'm always too late...

If you want to discuss the Hubsan, please make a new thread, and I'll be happy to further discuss. Note that so far I am the only one to successfully fly it, so keep that in mind when I say it is supported. Also, there are some potential caveats that apply to the Hubsan and not the V911.

There is not any comments about PPM protocol. Is it ready to use right away after choice? What need to do to activate PPM output?

Thanks. I'll add something about PPM. It works fine just like any other protocol, select PPM and either press 'Re-Init' or power-cycle the Tx.

Also, I've already incorporated all other feedback, though I haven't posted updated pdfs.
