How to make JWM menu in your language.

[melvix]

In the new versions of Puppy Linux JWM menu generate with XDG template (/etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc) and fixmenu script (/usr/sbin/), then is putting in /root (.jwmrc). Now the translation of this file not good method becouse the new program's installation or Puppy's installation generate new .jwmrc file in English.
To solve this problem you must to edite all files (submenu) in /usr/share/applications (now 135) with program's name (Name=Program's name in your language), for example in Russian:
[quote]Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Тек

Here is part of a .desktop entry out of my debian install.

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Evolution Mail
Name[sv]=Evolution e-post
Name[xh]=I-Imeyili ye-Evolution
Name[zh_CN]=Evolution 电

Good idea!
I also think about this, looking the .desktop files for new program. For example:

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=GNOME PPP
Name[be]=GNOME PPP
Name[ca]=GNOME PPP
Name[de]=GNOME PPP
Name[es]=GNOME PPP
Name[fr]=GNOME PPP
Name[it]=GNOME PPP
Name[mk]=GNOME PPP
Name[pl]=GNOME PPP
Name[pt_BR]=GNOME PPP
Name[ru]=GNOME PPP
Name[sr]=ГППП
Name[sr@Latn]=GPPP
Name[sv]=Uppkopplingsverktyg
Name[tr]=GNOME PPP
Name[vi]=GNOME PPP
