Hello icake,

Nice job! If you made the Slacko language pack using MoManager, it should work on the latest Wary and Racy, too. You should let BarryK know about your language packs, he may want to put them on the official repositories.

[icake]

I have been working on the Traditional Chinese localization pet for racy-5.3 and wary-5.3 for the last few days. However, the jwm modifications that I did to the slacko-5.3.3 and lupu_528 was crashing xwin on restart of racy-5.3 and wary-5.3.

The current version is 0.5.0.2 which can handle the Traditional Chinese localization of racy-5.3 and wary-5.3 but without the jwm modifications.

Here is the pet: racy-5.3-zhhk-0.5.0.2.pet (16 mb) https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=F042EC1C9DF3CFE7!114&authkey=!AJ1JScwgisfKqIc

icake,
If you use MoManager, JWM translations work.

MoManager works for all puppies built from Woof since late February 2012. It is recommended that you use the latest Woof-built Puppy, Well, Wary or Racy 5.3 should be ok.

MoManager is a GUI application in the menu.

To find out how to use it, go to my blog and type "MoManager" into the search-box:

http://bkhome.org/blog/

If you install poedit, MoManager will recognise and use it. Otherwise, MoManager will fall back to using Geany text editor to edit po files.

MoManager will also use the Surfer HTML viewer that is in Wary and Racy, as well as the SeaMonkey web browser, which provides an improved translation environment for HTML files, compared with some puppies that do not have a separate HTML viewer.

Barry,

Thanks for the information which is critical for future refinements of my language pets.

During the weekend, I had upgraded the 3 Traditional Chinese language pets to 0.5.0.4. Changes include:

1. A different approach was used to localize the desktop icon labels to preserve user defined desktop icons.
The previous method did not preserve any user defined desktop icons on installation and uninstallation
of the language pet. This is now fixed.

2. The latest jwm-579 source files were used to fix a minor issue which is not related to the localization process.
When you right click on any window's header border area, you get a menu. If you select the "Layer" option, you get
a vertical sub-menu. This vertical sub-menu is showing "Top" at the bottom and "Bottom" on top.
I attempted to fix this last year by modifying the winmenu.c file in jwm-542. This has been working fine
up to lupu_528 and slacko-5.3.3. But it crashed xwin for both racy-5.3 and wary-5.3.

Modified jwm-579 has been good in all my test runs including racy-5.3 and wary-5.3 and is used in all
the 0.5.0.4 language pets.

3. I have uploaded the following 3 pets and a brief documentation file here:
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=F042EC1C9DF3CFE7!108
slacko-5.3.3-zhhk-0.5.0.4.pet
racy-5.3-zhhk-0.5.0.4.pet (works for both racy-5.3 and wary-5.3)
lupu_528-zhhk-0.5.0.4.pet

Your input arrived at the best possible time because I was trying to contact you last week but was unable
to log into your bog and I could not find your email address.

Sorry for the late reply.
In each of the 20+ language pets posted so far, SCIM was already included.
Therefore after you applied anyone of these language pets, you will have
a localized Chinese desktop plus the ability to input Chinese using SCIM.
SCIM was chosen because minimal work is needed.
I am currently looking into other Chinese input methods including ibus and fcitx and may add
these in future language pets.

[icake]

I have done 2 Chinese language pets for Precise 5.4, one for Traditional Chinese and one for Simplified Chinese.
After you applied one of these language pets to the English version of Precise 5.4, you will get:
1. a full Chinese desktop including icons, mouse click pop up menus, sub-menus, mouse move over pop up tooltips
2. utf-8 Traditonal Chinese or Simplified Chinese locale
3. Chinese word file wqy-microhei.ttf
4. SCIM Chinese Input Method with 16 Traditional Chinese Input Methods or 5 Simplified Chinese Input Methods
You can download these language pets from:
https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=F042EC1C9DF3CFE7&id=F042EC1C9DF3CFE7!108

A briefing note (in English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese) with more information and user tips about these language pets is also available.

Subsequent to the above message, I have posted a few more Chinese Language pets for public sharing to the same address above. These include:
slacko-5.4
Precise-5.4.2
Precise-5.4.1
Carolina002
As usual, there are 2 language pets for each of these Puppy, one for Traditional Chinese and one for Simplified Chinese.
Also posted are pdf briefing in English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese.

Hello icake
This thread is from 2010, we're near 2013, how about having a new thread for your language packs? This way it will be easier for Chinese-speaking visitors to find the latest versions on the forum. You can also post downloads links to the latest versions of Puppy Linux, and you can even post in Chinese so that those who can't understand English can read your information.

[icake]

Thanks for the comments.

I have just started a new topic: Chinese Language Pets, sub-topic: Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese pets a few minutes ago with information about the 26 Chinese Language pets I am sharing on the web.

For the last few weeks, I have also made announcements in the Chinese Puppy Forum (中文Puppy Linux 开发者之家) about some of my Chinese Language pets.

The package works fine with Lucid 5.2.8 and Slacko 5.3.3, but not with the latest Slacko 5.4.
Lucid 5.2.8 is pretty old, and it does not have driver for the wireless card on my ThinkPad E40 (RTL8192CE).
Slacko 5.3.3 supports my wireless card, but has an ugly UI.
Slacko 5.4 is everything I hope for except it does not work with any Chinese support I tried.
It's not the end of world, I use Puppy to host some small embedded software, so UI is a concern only during development time, so Slacko 5.3.3 would be my choice given its current situation.
Will you consider making this package compatible with Slacko 5.4 soon?
Thanks!
