it is necessary to select Vietnamese and save the setting, then shut down Rox (and the pinboard desktop too) and start Rox again

or restart X, or reboot

The Rox-Filer only can work in your language, if it has the corresponding .gmo file within the directory /usr/local/apps/ROX-FILER/Messages. For example:
/usr/local/apps/ROX-FILER/Messages/fr.gmo. These gmo-files have not been shipped with the puppy-distribution.

So what you have to do:
1. Get the devx_216.sfs compiler package from the puppy-homepage and copy it to /mnt/home.
2. Reboot your computer.
3. Now the c-compiler and make-utility are automatically installed.
4. Get the sources from Rox-Filer homepage and unpack them for example in /tmp (then they are deleted automatically after the next reboot)
5. Enter: configure
6: Enter: make
7. The package is compiled now and you will find .gmo-files for all languages that are supported.
8. You don't need to install the compiled package. It is enough, if you copy your .gmo-file to /usr/local/apps/ROX-FILER/Messages
9. If you have run chooselocal from the Desktop-menu with your language and set the LANG in the ROX-Filer Options Language, the chosen language will work.
