usage
e.g. to get the manpage for ls in your default browser type in console:

pman ls

For commands which are not implemented in puppy
or there is no translation available
you will get the english manpage from the web
just commands which are in puppy

After installation of puppy-manpages_NLS
in /usr/share/man there will be
13 languages: cs de es fr hu it ja ko pl pt ru tr zh_TW
delete which you do not need.

For multilingual puppians:

Code: Select all

LANG=ja pman ls

japanese manpage for ls

Code: Select all

LANG=tr pman ls

turkish manpages for ls
Have fun

Two notes about manpages

1. Installing the .pet directly from browser or by klicking the downloaded .pet this will install manpages in all 13 languages. You can delete the ones you do not need in /usr/share/man or after having downloaded the .pet you can install it by PuppyPackageManager and that will (hopefully) enable you to unfatten.

2. As all manpages have been recoded to UTF-8 make sure your browser has set default encoding to UTF-8. With seamonkey it is: View > Character Encoding > Auto-Detect > Universal.

Executing in console:

Code: Select all

cd /root/.mozilla/seamonkey/*.default
echo 'user_pref("intl.charset.default", "UTF-8");' >> user.js
cd -

After restart of browser UTF-8 will be default and the manpages are displayed correctly.

The manpages are formatted for browser by man2html (binary) without any setting of charset now I have made a small fix in the script /usr/bin/pman near line 233

Code: Select all

     #14feb11
     sed 's/<\/HEAD><BODY>/<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text\/html; charset=UTF-8" \/><\/HEAD><BODY>/' $TMPFILE > ${TMPFILE}1
     mv ${TMPFILE}1 $TMPFILE #14feb11
     $HTMLVIEWER $TMPFILE &
     #rm -f $TMPFILE

Now the manpages should be displayed correctly in every browser

Note: This fix is not yet included in pet and sfs
