(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hello,

I've a problem when I try to translate Seamonkey with a langpack.xpi. The installation of the langpack is OK, but after, what to do?
I haven't seen the command Edit/Preferences/ Appearance/Languages to can choose the language to use.

Thank you for your help

The languages are in Navigator | languages, not appearance.
I did have to install any xpi to have the languages I want to choose from.

If you don't have languages in navigator |languages something went wrong with your installation.
Mine is the 2.10 SeaMonkey iso.

If the languages are there, but don't work, I think you best go to a SeaMonkey help news group as there are the specialists.

Hello,

B

I currently fould only one solution (only tried it in Puppy 2.10 alpha).

I downloaded from:
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla ... localized/

this file:
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla ... 86.tar.bz2

I extracted it to a Linux-partition.

This created the folder:
/mnt/sda6/seamonkey

Now I renamed Puppys seamonkey from
/usr/lib/seamonkey-1.0.4
to
/usr/lib/seamonkey-1.0.4-old

And created a new symlink:
ln -s /mnt/sda6/seamonkey /usr/lib/seamonkey-1.0.4

Now when I start it, it is german, but a get a srange error-message on the bottom.
To solve this:
rename
/root/.mozilla
to
/root/.mozilla-old

Start mozilla, this creates a new
/root/.mozilla
Now copy the file
/root/.mozilla/default/XUL.mafsl
somewhere, for example to
/root/XUL.mafsl

Now delete the new
/root/.mozilla
and restore your backup, so copy
/root/.mozilla-old
to
/root/.mozilla
Now replace
/root/.mozilla/default/XUL.mafsl
with your new
/root/XUL.mafsl

I finally created this symlink, that might be used by some of Puppys programs:
ln -s /usr/lib/seamonkey-1.0.4/seamonkey-bin /usr/lib/seamonkey-1.0.4/mozilla-bin


Like this I have the latest german Seamonkey 1.0.5 in Puppy with all my old bookmarks and settings, but also 47 MB less free diskspace

GW,
You didn't mention you were speaking about the language of the SeaMonkey menu's, so the install language.
Soit.
Maybe MU's post can help you, I hope so, but I still think it's more a question for the SeaMonkey guru's, well at least the question can be raised there also.
From what I experience of installing xpi's in SeaMonkey, as soon as they are installed you have to close and reopen SeaMonkey. Up to now, this has worked for me, but I never tried another language tho.
On the other side, National Language Support in Puppy is very poor. My machine is in nl_BE and I don't see anything coming in nl.

Bien le bonjour

Hello,

MU : thank you for your response, it runs when I reinstall SeaMonkey, and I can choose the languages for the menus when the corresponding .xpi files are installed. Of course it takes place. I will remaster with the "Unleashed method" to can replace the Seamonkey version of the disk with the new one or replace it by opera.

si tu comprends allemand, je peux t'aider bien sur avec des traductions anglais/allemand.

Anglais/francais est plus difficile pour moi, car ca fait plus que dix ans depuis que je parlait francais la derni

Mark,

These are free flag icons that can be used to set localization/keyboard settings versus the command line. During the first boot of the distro, Puppy can boot to a very generic 800x600 VESA setting, then the user can select their country flag to set localization/keyboard setting as well as change screen resolution and modify Vesa/Xorg settings. This would replace the character-based selection process. This is what I was envisioning for a simplified OLPC version of Puppy I mentioned in another post. There are a total of 239 country icons in this set, which is very complete. Of course, you would have to work your magic to incorporate them into a Puppy app!
