(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Bonjour,
About the menu files in /usr/share/applications.
I thought that my explanations were not clear.
Here one example for /usr/share/applications/Alsamixer-sound-sound.desktop :

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=AlsaMixer audio mixer
Name[fr]=Mixeur audio AlsaMixer
Icon=mini-sound.xpm
Comment=AlsaMixer sound mixer
Exec=xterm -e alsamixer
Terminal=true
Type=Application
Categories=AudioVideo
GenericName=AlsaMixer

Create a new line for spanish (here in red) and save.

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=AlsaMixer audio mixer
Name[fr]=Mixeur audio AlsaMixer
Name[es]=Name_of_mixer_in_spanish
Icon=mini-sound.xpm
Comment=AlsaMixer sound mixer
Exec=xterm -e alsamixer
Terminal=true
Type=Application
Categories=AudioVideo
GenericName=AlsaMixer

Cordialement

So here i am!
i 've added russian lines for applications and packed it back

note : there are 3 .bak files for
e3 mp and top
i translated them also but i do not know if they will be in Puppy 4.2
also there's a pet.specs file wich can be removed

as an example i put a pack from /usr/share/desktop-directories wich i did for puppy 4.1.2
i've translated only entries for JWM menu
it's all the same things: just added some lines

For Icewm it needs to have a localized template in /etc/xdg/...

The whole menus have been translated, so i figure there must be a way to make a program that extracts it from the original and pastes it here, i'll try.

It gets hard, programming

I won't do it manually, that is certain, waaay to many desktop files!!

i did it once in summer for puppy 4
so just copy/paste was not difficult
i'd also will add some scripts translations ...

Bonjour,
Here is the desktop-dirs.tar.gz.
French added.

Here a fixed /usr/sbin/petget localized.
Tested in RC3 instead of original. Can you test yourself?
What conclusion about the corrections made on the localized files ? Should we change and what version to use?
I have great difficulties with the forum. It takes considerable time to load a page when it wants to load.
Cordialement

I'd say marks right. I'll just patch them for spanish, since it isn't working for me. It works for french, right?

This should be the list then.

Connect wizard (last esmorguit link).
Xwin
XorgWizard (Updated to Mu's corrected version)
Remasterpup2
Chooselocale
Bootmanager
Cups Shell
Petget. (fixed).
Applications directory localized

I would like to know if anyone knows of a program that'd let me to know the exact diferences between a file and another. It would save a lot of work for me.

I know it was awhile ago, Droope, but I just spotted this, and thought it might be useful to you

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 6714f82a57

Good effort, guys!

Aitch

Sorry aitch for ignoring you, and thanks!!!!! for the initial support for this and also for the link.

I think it's of no use to me tho

But thanks

Cheers

EDIT:

Here is a screenie as proof of a non working connectwizard

Bonjour,
Hey Droope, please check that no missing quote in the spanish.mo file.
This is often where I had errors.
Cordialement

Will do. Maybe that's it.

Cheers,
Droope

Bonjour,
@ Aitch,
You can use xfdiff in Utility menu.
Or this command in console :
diff file_a file_b.
Or to get the difference in a text file, that command :
diff file_a file_b. > name_of_file_you_want.txt
Cordialement

Just in case you folks haven't noticed, the latest version of the network wizard requires an update to translations.

Bonjour,
Thank you Dougal, this was not noted.
Now update will be done.
Cordialement

Hey guys

I'm at it again....

droope, you may have seen this, I'm not sure, but with support from the likes of caneri, ttuuxxx & pizzasgood, as well as yourselves, of course, it looks like Internationalization is being taken seriously, at last

Other devs, please note!

Perhaps this link will become more useful in the longer run....
to stop everyone treading on each others toes, so to speak....

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=40152

Don't understand GIT, or it's implementation....?, speak to Pizzasgood

My feeling is that with the bling team & you, and the other devs sorting out the 'niggles', Puppy is on a one way journey to trouncing many bigger distros

Thanks again, guys

PS: reminder, Internationalized Dillo, here

http://www.freshports.org/www/dillo-i18n/

I note on the distrowatch Puppy page there is a section for Puppy's versions which has feature checkboxes;'Multilingual' & 'Asian Language Support'

After all the work done on the substantial '41 language thread',

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=27967

I hope this is recognised in future versions.....

[tell me to shut up, if you like ]

Bonjour,
A small change in /usr/share/petget (line 803) resulted in the addition of the last line in the file petget.mo.
So here is the new localized petget.
Some change also in the directory /usr/share/applications.
I will upload soon.
Cordialement

Hello!

I do not speak English well. Web translator to translate.

Send you the files alsaconf and ayttmshell located, along with its archives of messages in English and Spanish.

Pay attention to small differences in the initial routine file search. "Mo."

The following script will do that is / usr / sbin / BootManager

Greetings.

I have forgotten to let whodo know!!! sorry.

i expected that loclized menus would be in final release....
please tell whodo to include them in bugfix

i'll also try to add some russian mo. files for scripts and also will make an archive with mo. files for as many apps as i can find(actually i do have many already)

I send files Xwin localized in English and Spanish. I fixed the problems.

droope/anyone

I posted to Irihapeti in the 41 language thread

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... &start=540

This is her reply

Irihapeti wrote:I had a quick look at that, Aitch, but it's rather over my head. I'm not a developer; I only compile other people's programs.

One thing I believe still needs attention: that ordinary, unlocalised Puppy be able to display non-Latin characters in dialogue boxes and window title bars. (Assuming, of course, that the necessary fonts have been installed.) I have an idea that it has to do with the "C locale" - some programs can't use the locale files and use the default, and the default is not compiled to handle non-Latin characters. At least, that's what I think it is; a developer would be able to clarify that.

Irihapeti

Why is puppy still short of fonts, & IS it compiled without non-latin character handling?

If so, it may explain some people's frustration with Puppy at boot up?

Is this one for BarryK, since he's changed the boot up to include keyboard/locale, I believe?

Perhaps you could see if WhoDo is aware of that?

And if anything can/should be done?

Thanks

Aitch

Hi aitch,

I am unaware of that issue I really don't know. I think it might have something to do with what The Hamsters was attempting to do, something related with utf-8, and being able to imput greek characters into Dialogs and console windows.

(Not sure tho, and I think the issue needs to be solved, but is not really a big big deal, i think. Maybe for Chinese people, who need their titles in chinese, for example.)

But I think this has been attempted, don't know where though.

Cheers!
