Attached /usr/local/bin/fix_menus_on_locale trial version.
Test it on the LupQ-507, with icewm-1.3.7pre2-lupq.pet available from here.

It converts the encoding when the locale is of ISO-8859-1/2. Do not convert in fixmenus.

@all who like to use lokalized package descriptions

activate the hidden feature of PPM i18n
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=448544#448544

see attached screenshot

package descriptions
# from puppy-quirky-official
# puppy-woof-official
# puppy-5-official
# puppy-4-official
# t2-8.0rc-official
# sort --unique
# puppy-lucid-official (appended 2010-09-06)

can be translated and now used in lucid-official
(package_descr.pot for reference in attached package_descr_i18n.tar.gz)

Note 1: the original descriptions of Barry´s databases are not changed, the translation process is just an addition!

Note 2: It does not make very much sense to translate each and every description, you do not want to disappoint your "native language only" users too much. If the package cannot be used without understanding English, then I think it is better to NOT translate the package description.

Note 3: Have you yet noticed the "description: more info" button appearing with repo:ubuntu ?

feedback appreciated

Hola,

sinceramente tiene menos español que 4.3.1.

aunque este locales para 4.3.1 se puede utilizar en v5.

seguiré usando mi lengua materna, no me gusta otro lengua que no sea español.

por lo tanto seguiré en 4.3.1 en español + locales

gracias por intentarlo.
saludos

LupQ has mtpaint-3.34.55 but some translations(.mo) are outdated.
Attached new mtpaint.pot. Call for the translations updated.

EDIT: Do not translate the lines '? ??% zoom'. Keep them blank because the character '%' makes trouble with gettext.

Chinese and Korean now supported on LupQ!
Get lang_pack_cjk-lupq-0.1.sfs from here.
It is a combination of CJK languages, Chinese, Korean and Japanese.

It is provided as a SFS file because it is so large, maybe takes 110MB of RAM space if it was installed with PET.
Next link is a help how to apply SFS's: Add SFS File to Bootup(Puppy Linux FAQ)

Japanese users can use this SFS instead of the PET, lang_pack_ja-lupq-*.pet.
To switch from PET to SFS (if your system already installed lang_pack_ja-lupq-*.pet), follow next step:

Change the locale to en_US.
Unistall lang_pack_ja-lupq-*.pet.
Apply lang_pack_cjk-lupq-*.sfs
Change back the locale to ja_JP.UTF-8.

Install lang_pack_ru-lupq-0.1.pet available from here.
Translation of browsers are not included in this PET.
Install localized browsers.
