I have made gettexted scripts for Puppy for Russian lang pack but it could be used for other languages so I have made simplified PET-package with these scripts. Main pot-file (puppy.pot) consists of 2100 lines so I guess it's hard to translate but maybe it could be useful. You don't have to translate all the lines.
Also menu items could be translated by adding Name[xx]=Translation of name
More information about how to translate is here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=445186#445186

I am going to try to make Ukrainian translation using this pet. I am also going to make similar pet for Wary/Racy.

Also I have made Russian lang_pack for Slacko-5.3.1.

Great! Then I can translate this .pot files to my language so that someone can make a language pack later. And is there something similar for Lucid 528? If not, how did you create the .pot files?

[rodin.s]

I can make Lupu-5.2.8 version. I'll do it later.

Thanks so much for this. There's a preview of my desktop in Spanish attached to this post, along with a file with my translations from your .pot files and existing translations that were originally made for Lucid, many of them either fixed or customized. So far I've translated about 55% of the main puppy.po file, but my desktop is almost totally in Spanish.

Instructions on how to use my translations along with existing ones can be found here (in Spanish).

I have made i18n-pet and pot-files for Lupu-528.004.

[rodin.s]

Here is the PET with additional l10n for Russian. (applications like ROX, pmount, pmusic, gnome-mplayer etc.)

Also here is a pet for automatic setup of keyboard layouts and indication: ru-us.

I have made additional langpack for Wary/Racy-5.2.90 with some scripts that are not in official langpack. It also has gettexted binary files (tray icons). Pot-files are in /usr/share/doc/nls/lang_pack/. It is possible to regenerate puppy.pot using this commands:

I was testing new MoManager with support for multiple scripts for one TEXDOMAIN. I have made two PETs with the same scripts but in one with different TEXDOMAINs, and in another with one TEXTDOMAIN. These scripts are not in woof and mostly taken from PETs from previous post of this thread (work for Wary/Racy, Precise).

I was working on Russian versions of Precise and Slacko and I have made these additional i18n-langpacks. Momanager and Poedit could be used for translation. It's update to previous pets so old translatons could be updated. Some internationalized apps: PupControl, desksetup, peasyscale, peasyprint, peasypdf, icon finder and so on.
Some time ago I have also internationalized hardinfo. Some parts of it are not internationalized, but mostly it is done. I used not current Puppy version, but latest from hardinfo site. I have also fixed proper distribution detection for Puppy Linux.

rodin.s, you're the best! thank you

I noticed most of the scripts had TEXTDOMAIN=puppy, building a 600+ string .po file using Momanager. I modified the Precise .pet file so that there are different text domains for individual programs, at least to me it's a little bit more comfortable this way. I must especially thank you for gettexting jwmconfig2, which I've been trying to do.

[rodin.s]

Early version of puppy.mo had 2100 lines so 600 is not that much. I also had different textdomains in the beginning but it was hard to handle them when updating so I decided to use one big textdomain. Now I have puppy.mo for Precise and puppy.mo for Slacko that are different.
