Some noticed

[01micko]

Thank you YoN

Will fix for next release.

Cheers

Another request,

When clear downloaded Packages/Clicking File | Clear Downloaded Packages menu.

It is manly(like Samurai..) to clear packages before someone can even say something

However, I think it's nice that there is a message like this, "Are you really OK though you delete all these files?" There is just a baloon help...


A little bit of my wish.

Thanks Mick

New version 2.9.7

Most important change is on the front page, Google Earth replaces Clan Bomber... yes I know I said no more changes, but....

Sorry!

Thank you for ALL your great help.

Cheers

01micko, I tried to make a new Hebrew translation and I gave up on this one. Just drop my translation. Took about a week to put my hands up, don't say I'm a coward

Puppy has no BiDi support and it's so hard to get things aesthetic, I found out that the only way to make the package lists appear correctly is typing stuff in some weird order and I'm freaking out. Also, even if I write it correctly, when I have even one tiny typo, I must erase the whole line and start it all over again. I even tried to edit the file on my Fedora desky, which has BiDi support, but the text is a Bash script, it's still aligned to the left and things behave strangely with Hebrew's RTL nature.

I translated most of the text, but then I found out it just doesn't fit. There are some stuff that I have absolutely no idea how to translate, like "pets" or "sfs". I can't translate "pet" directly.

Also, a tiny suggestion: remove all the technical stuff, all instances of "pupsave" and "pets". Use "save file", "persistent save file", "packages" ...

[01micko]

Ok, if it can't be done, then I'll withdraw your translation.

I'll take it under advisement to use more generic names for packaging etc..

Thanks anyway,

Cheers

Hello 01micko and all localisers of quickpet!

Just a thought on the issue of localisation:
One thing that makes the translation into sv_SE a bit awkward is when a LOCxxx-variable is connected with a local variable of the quickpet.sh-script - every time a local (or possibly fetched, dunno if that's done here) variable is connected with a localised variable "LOCxxx" the LOCxxx should be divided into two, so that the construct "$LOCxxxa - $local-variable - $LOCxxxb" is possible to allow for differing syntax of our languages.

If there's nobody else working on it, I'll try to make the translation to Italian available by next week.

Thanks muchly for your response

Now I am realising the issue you put forward... the grammar of different languages. Of course you can use lisense,.. but in saying that.. do you recommend where I can improve otherwise? I am new to this (probably obvious, and only of the English tongue )

Any suggestions will be gratefully received.

Italian is free, you can take it if you want

Be aware, and this goes for all translators, that there will be an absolute final, no more changes version on Saturday 24-07-2010 (2010-07-24).

On that day I will be making a major announcement concerning Quickpet.

I will provide detailed changes and try to simplify as much as possible.

So, stay tuned

Jacapo, thanks for your wonderful offer and I look forward to some response some time after Saturday.

Final release is toward the end of this month

If anyone can do Portuguese or Spanish it will be much appreciated.. not by me, but the Puppy users

Quickpet is only 1 small step to the true internationalisation of Puppy Linux.

There is more to come.

Keep faith.

Cheers

Mick

Here it is !
I think that localization is an important step for Puppy Linux.
