Puppy is still growing and I guess a lot have to be done before it can fully support Chinese.

I hate to say that, but you may want to check out other linux distros. Or, you can googling with keywords like 'linux', 'Chinese', 'localization' and 'internationalization', learn how to do it and come back to share with us

By the way, here is something you maybe interested:
http://www.linuxfans.org/nuke/modules.p ... o&did=3624
This program allows you to enter Chinese (maybe Japanese too?) with any web browser. No configuration needed.

ps. just a reminder, to get more response for your post, try including phrases such as 'thanks', 'many thanks', 'please', etc in your post

Thanks.

Have you got a nls_gb2312.o compiled in GCC 3.0?

Puppy havn't got one.So I can't mount with the "iochareset=gb2312" .And can't see the chinese file name in ROX.

Our primary support is for English.

Here is support for other languages

Thanks,I have read the webpage above.

But,I still have to have a nls_gb2312.o module,for viewing the chineses filename in ROX.

I can view the word file/excel file/web file in Chinese,now.

But not the filename in Chinsese in ROX or rxvt/crxvt-gb/mrxvt.

A module for "mount -o iocharset=gb2312" is needed.

You know much more than I do!

I don't know what's nls_gb2312.o
but perhaps THIS would help.

I want Puppy to have a kernel have a Chinese Native Language Support(nls_gb2312/nls_cp936).

It may make Puppy popular in China,a country that has a population of 1.5 billion.

That would be COOL!

How's your progress? Does the link I gave in the above post (http://packages.debian.org) help?

sccat · #9 Post by **sccat** » Wed 07 Sep 2005, 14:06

Yes.It helps.

I have download a 2.4.29 Kernel.

But I havn't got a compile environment.So I download a Vector 5.0.

I haven't Install it yet.I　have to prepare for a tough exam (for me)theses days.

Except the Kernel,the Glibc should also be compiled for the locale zh_CN.gb2312.

Good luck to your exam and
look forward to our first Chinese Puppy

Thanks.

I'm a newbie in Linux.

Maybe some professional people could finish it.

One possibility for a Puppy Cantonese or Mandarin page is for the page to be created (with specialist fonts) and then saved as a jpg or png which can then be displayed on the wiki for our Chinese friends . . .

If anyone is up for that let me know if any help on the wiki side is required . . .

From http://wikka.jsnx.com/WikkaBugs :

"1.1.6.0beta4: Simplified Chinese (or Unicode relative) in WikiEdit:
A page contains unicode characters looks OK when viewed but displays ''&#*****;'' while edited in WikiEdit
In 1.1.5.3, I solved this problem by changed some line in ./handlers/page/edit.php
#from
"<textarea onKeyDown=\"fKeyDown()\" id=\"body\" name=\"body\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 500px\">".$body."</textarea><br />\n"
#to
"<textarea onKeyDown=\"fKeyDown()\" id=\"body\" name=\"body\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 500px\">".$this->htmlspecialchars_ent($body)."</textarea><br />\n"

Wikka is wonderful! ZhuangYuyao

* This workaround you outlined will work as well in Wikka 1.1.6.0. A real solution wil take some more investigation though, so we were unable to fix this for the current release. This is now under investigation. --JavaWoman"

It seems that Wikka's support for Chinese is not very good at the moment... don't know if it'll get better in the future versions

The "Using different charsets" solution works.

I've tested on my website

But there is something strange.

If I want to use fictx(XIM) in leafpad,I must start leafpad in rxvt.
If I start leafpad through menu/Desktop,I can't input chinese.

Why?What's the difference between the 2 methods of starting the promgram?

Chat & abiword also encounter this problem.

Thanks.

when you start a program from the menu, it is using environmental variables from /etc/profile

for example, in profile, XTERM=linux
in .bashrc, XTERM=xterm

try putting any variables you use, like LANG=... LANGUAGE=... in /etc/profile (or you should be able to put them in /etc/profile.local ... do not forget to export them)

sccat · #18 Post by **sccat** » Sat 15 Oct 2005, 16:13

But which XTERM would work.In /etc/profile or in /root/.bashrc?

Thanks.

GuestToo · #19 Post by **GuestToo** » Sat 15 Oct 2005, 21:19

i do not know if this is the answer to your problem, but some of the environmental variables are different when you run a program from the menu, compared to in a bash script

in particular, XTERM=linux ... which is limited to ascii characters

on my machine, /etc/profile sets:

XTERM=linux

in a bash script, these are set:

COLORTERM=rxvt-xpm
TERM=xterm

so you could try putting this in /etc/profile.local (create the file if it does not exist)

export COLORTERM=rxvt-xpm
export TERM=xterm

and also maybe something like this (use the correct locale parameters, of course)

export LANG=zh_CN
export LANGUAGE=$LANG
export LC_ALL=$LANG

i do not know if it will work or not
