Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

rarsa · Posted: Mon 15 May 2006, 14:11 Post subject: Spanish

This thread is meant to organize all the people that want to participate translating to Spanish (As generic as we can do it)

I propose that we localize for the locale [es_ES]. If we are picky at some point and for very specific things we could add regional localizations [es_MX], [es_AR], etc.

You don't need any technical background as other developers will provide the files to translate.

Other threads in this forum will discuss tools that may simplify the translation process.

I'd prefer if we keep this thread in English as some of the topics we will discuss may be of interest to other localization efforts.

Hi Pups

Here is the page to get the translation of Abiword for Spanish

http://www.abisource.com/dev/strings/es-ES.po

The notes indicate that it is 99% translated in Spanish.

Is this the type of information that is needed/desired either to speed up the process, or to demonstrate how to do it?

Yep. this is exactly the kind of information that we want to discuss here and add to a wiki page.

I would sugest someone else to maintain a wiki page with this links so they don't get lost in the thread.

I'll be happy to proofread ...

"es_ES = Spanish_Spain" or Castilian which is what I was brought up with.

Living in the US has shown me how different it can be to latin-american spanish Wink

Cheers

I would like to lend my support to this cause. I speak Castilian and, though I am sure there are a lot of dissenters out there, I think Castilian should be the primary focus. Spain already has a thriving opensource community, to the point where Andalucia has it's own distribution:

I can start a Spanish package repository at PuppyLite if you would like.

I would like to help too, but:

1. Which Puppy version?� Actually, I'm using puppy 1.0.8 + megapup002, thats because I'm a nVidia GFX user and I had too much problems tryng to install nVidia drivers on later versions of puppy, without those drivers I can't use my own .sfs addons (amarok, kdelibs upgrade, emu-pack)

2. Remastered or as an .sfs addon?�

This localization section is still small, so you can find here most of what have been done translating Puppy. Or do a search for, say, "Spanish".

How about making an es_LA localization?

Posting locale files for all the software included in puppy will keep us informed. So go search, I will search too Smile

It would be good if we make this as an .sfs addon, then it'll be used no matter what puppy version we are using. Obviously making 2 packs, one for Puppy 1.x.x and another for Puppy 2.x.x

And anyone has tryed xfce4 dotpup with xfce-4.2.3.2-locale.pup, and setting LANG variable to es_xx through the setup menu? it works fine and maybe is a beginning for castilian/spanish Puppy.
