sorry for my english.
we want a greek puppy. (puppel).
we have two problems.
(with el_GR.utf8).
1. in rxvt we dont have greece. with sakura is all ok, so we have it.
but the other problem is important.
In scripts (pmount, etc) there are orange windows, with messages (Puppy Drive Mounter, please wait....).
if we translate it, do not appear Greek, but as symbols. (only the text in orange windows).

The messages are being displayed by yaf-splash.
I think that MU reported problems with yaf-splash and internationalisation.
have a look at muppy, I think he replaced the yaf-splash binary with a shell script wrapper that called gxmessage instead.

yes it is a script
delete the existing /usr/X11R7/bin/yaf-splash
and replace it with the script named
yaf-splash
now your replacement will get called automatically

here is the replacement I used in Muppy:
/usr/X11R7/bin/yaf-splash
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
XMESSAGE="gxmessage -encoding UTF-8"
text=`echo $@ | sed -e "s/.*-text \(.*\)/\1/"`
#echo "$text"
a=`echo $@ | sed -e "s/-bg pale /-bg /" -e "s/-placement [^ ]* //" -e "s/-outline [^ ]* //" -e "s/-margin [^ ]* //" -e "s/-text .*//"`
#echo $a
exec $XMESSAGE -center -buttons "" -borderless $a "$text"
I am not certain, that it works with every option for yaf-splash used in Puppy, but in most cases it seems to work.
You can search for options used in Puppy like this:
cd /usr/sbin
grep -n yaf-splash *
