Welcome to puppy international
If you want to build official language packs search on
Barry's old blog for
momanager
and/or
langpack
Nice to read that puppy is going to bark in Linus Torwald's language now

I am also more than pleased of this finnish localization, of obvious reasons. I use it now in Upup Precise.
Keep up the good work.

Barry Kauler's moManager app has most of instructions built-in.
All entries need to be filled in or a confusing error is reported.
A devx file is needed to be loaded
I see a button at the bottom of MoManager's window to construct a
Language pack. Hopefully more good instructions....

I have put together a utility that I find very useful. It helps
translate mo files quickly, and it also checks the contents of
mo files quickly.

I have found:
Kielipaketti: langpack-fi-0.4.pet (koko noin 4,5 mt, 23.02.2013).
momanager would name the package automatically this way:
langpack_fi-20130223.pet
Is there a reason to not name the package like this
[edit 2013-04-26] Now I see: you did not use momanager
... and I had to
mv /usr/share/applications /usr/share/applications.in
mv /usr/share/desktop-directories /usr/share/desktop-directories
edit petspecs

Hi, when I started translating I was using Lucid Puppy, there was no momanager in it and I did not know that such thing even exists.. Later when I read about momanager, I tried to find where to download and install it, but did not find.
Later official Puppy versions seems to need pae-support, which my old laptop do not have. From forum I found non-pae version (called Upup Precise 3.8.3.1), installed it and tested some days. There was momanager in menu, but it did not start, needed "something", I do not remember what it was, dev.. something. And that time I did not have time to search what and where and why should be installed to get momanager working.
That is the reason why I did not use momanager =)

Thanks for the explanation.
Good choice because pemasu wrote: | I provide this build as non-PAE alternative for Precise Puppy. |
... here is the devx: http://www.smokey01.com/pemasu/UpupPrecise/UpupPrecise3831/devx_precise_3.8.3.1.sfs
Just try it please (download to /mnt/home and load it by "SFS Load on the fly").
And if you are missing anything in that new langpack
then you might fill your /usr/share/doc/langpack-template with the missing files
and repeat "create langpack" in momanager.
For example,
I have copied /root/spot/README.txt to
/usr/share/doc/langpack-template/root/spot/LIESMICH.txt
(LIESMICH is README translated)
and translated the content of that file
This way all the translation can co-exist in one installation.
imagine a user likes to have Finnish and German

momanager needs to run on frugal installation
( should be added to the documentation )
Do you have the ability to install frugally? That would be the easiest way for now.

... 7 months later now:
please try this latest momanager please.
It has no restriction on frugal install only.
Best is to start it from terminal:
