Look at /usr/sbin/cups_shell This a a very short script showing the problem. I have replaced the english strings with variables, that are filled with text in an external .mo file. This file is saved in leafpad as UTF-8. The script uses Xdialog and xmessage to display information. Xdialog displays äöü correct, xmessage does not. If you save the .mo in Iso format, it is vice versa. The solution is to install gxmessage, e.g. from http://dotpups.de/dotpups/System_Utilities/gxmessage.pup In Muppy008 it is already included, and "xmessage" was deleted and symlinked to gxmessage. This is not sufficient though, because gxmessage runs in compatibility-mode with xmessage. In cups_shell I now added this code in the beginning:
And you must replace the line that starts with:
with:
The result: On a system with gxmessage, now all text is shown correctly. On a system without gxmessage, the text is shown with wrong UTF-characters in xmessage, but at least it is shown. Mark |

is it possible to use such a system to translate other scripts in puppy? i mean to write strings instead of rewriting the scripts themselves( wich of course, can cause many mistakes) _________________ skype: desafimager www.youtube.com/sagartem -videos of my band |

Shure, we just did that with the network-wizard: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=25098 I have explained the basic concept more detailed here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=23345 But both examples are complex. The Cups-wizard is much simpler, and so easier to understand. I attach it. Extract it to a temporary folder. Then compare it with the original /usr/sbin/cups_shell Mark
