This program translates the words under the icons of your Desktop (Rox-Filer Pin) when you start X.


Create a file "Translate-rox.mo" containing words, that shall replace the words from
/root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin

This file must be in the locale folder of your country, for german (de) this is:
/usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/Translate-rox.mo

Use this file as a template for your own language.

Every translation consists of 2 lines:
x+=1:titles[x]="Help"
x+=1:titles[x]="Hilfe"

So the first has the original word, and the second the translation.
It is extremely important not to forget a character like the ".
Or the translation will not work.

Then edit /root/.xinitrc to start the translator every time you start X.

Search the line:

rox -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin

Before that, add:
/usr/local/Translate-rox/translate-rox

So you have:
/usr/local/Translate-rox/translate-rox
rox -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin

Then restart X.
