Hello, Actually I got busy with my studies, and since I downloaded the precise puppy, installed it and it doesn't work quite right (sometimes it didn't load the Kernel). I was a little disappointment of that thing and I lost hope in precise puppy. I formatted my old XP to 7, and I don't want to use ...

I have downloaded the last pack L18L have posted. Made the changes according to his ready htm file. (I like the ready things. Translate and done, but not modify on the body of the page)

Hi, and sorry for the long time,

Really, i liked this pet. Much easier than configuration the Xorg and keyboard layout.

I will recommend it for most of Arabic users.

Thanks,
M.H.

Hi,

First of all, we need to know what puppy you have and which window manager you have before it's switched and after it.

M.H.

Hi all, I've downloaded the iso and i have to say, much better than the PET for lucid. But i have found one problem. The sound is a little fast than it is suppose to be. the strange thing it is only in gnome mplayer, particularly the audio not the video. But that's ok, i have found that switching th...

Hi again, I have completed the translation of the Menu categories and entries. All looks good, until i have downloaded the fbpanel, openbox and obconfig from the quirky repo, THEY WORKS (till now). All Arabic characters are perfect, full form, no missing ones, and most important, no need for the 19 ...

Also got that if there was so many Arabic characters (Maybe more than 20 or 23 character) the sentence will cut off.

Helllo,

Thank you L18L for your try, i think i will make the 19 spaces after it but i have noticed that the trick is not going to work without at least one English character. So i will make the Arabic name and an English with it.
The menu will become too wide but that's OK. I can live with it.

Hi,

Here's the Arabic one. Made in Wary.

Hi, Here's the line: Program label [ar]=معالج الكتابة آبي وورد ...... I searched for any other window mangers for wary but with no result, I am pretty sure that fbpanel or lxpanel will solve it because in lucid the day name in the clock is written right. I will try to modify menu entries in lucid to...

@L18L Never make changes in msgid msgstr is where you put your translation in. I did with Katoob, and it works. Except that the characters are reversed, not combined and from left-to-right, which is a problem in reading. :( Please post the output of echo $LANG ar_YE.UTF-8 Nothing wrong i guess..... ...

Hi again, name=Internet name[ar]=whatever you type in here and name[ar] will be used for Arabic Did you try? That's the first thing i tried. For the menu categories and entries, they still the same. No matter what i did in anywhere. But like i said, i'm 100% sure that it's a JWM problem. And here th...

That's all that i did till this minute, but I'll ask you one more question.

Where do i translate??? Which lines? the msgid or the msgstr?

Thanks in advance.
M.H.

So i assume that will be an JWM problem. Because as i can see, Rox-Filer show Arabic fine but in the header of the window it came like this (red rectangular):

After that i have tried your Yudit but with no use, the Arabic chars are viewed as square box with numbers in it. And finally i have installed Katoob text editor, it is the same as Geany but also that massage show up :evil: So i have leave the scripts and move to menus. Menus have been translated in...

OK, complicated things bring more experience... At first i had used geany for translate.....i have translated the shutdown first line "is now shutting down...". I have save it and exit, then shutdown puppy. I haven't see anything! So i have entered the MoManger again and edit the same scri...

Thanks
I will start downloading the pup, sure it will take a while for my speed. I will keep you inform with anything happens (hope not).

Hi, As i have been posting replies to an Arabic language writing support, i have been told to consider on translating an Puppy. So i have decided to start on it and wary will be my experiment (because my PC is old, and also good for other peoples). But, i have to make sure things will work smooth. O...

Hi, Try this Avast! for Puppy, i have use it in Lucid and i detect more than 80 virus in another PC, read the topic here . Maybe it can make a clean door for your Windows :D Note :You have to update the antivirus, it's about 65mb!!. Huge but worth it. Can't update? Download manually to your ~/.avast...

Wonderful
So you and bignono1are the men to make an Arabic languagepack

Hmm........Not bad, a good idea actually.
So, do i have to be a pro in programming in order to do it?

Using a recent wary/racy/precise or slacko

i assume that Lucid is involved, right?
