Dear Barry & Co.,

I do not always enjoy UPX'd binaries (I generally un-UPX them as a matter of habit), but I can see the logic in this in order to keep everything manageably small for Puppy. What I think would be great is an optimizing routine at compile/link time. I remember writing gtk apps, simple ones in C, and they were 4-6k! That is nice. If we could get that kind of binary terseness in Bacon, it would be fabulous, because the BaCon binaries would be the size of gtkdialog scripts but run very fast! The non-GTK BaCon progs are already pretty small, but some kind of optimization would also help there. I do not know whether it possible, but if it is, Peter will put his mind to it and pleasantly surprise us all!

With kind regards,
vovchik

PS. I recalled why UPX's binaries bothered me. You cannot see the dependencies with ldd!

L18L's version wasn't good enough for russian. So my dimensions are (Barry's version):
line - dimensions
41 - 664,514
83 - 84,16
86 - 568,165
88 - 250,24
101 - 430,16
107 - 280,24
124 - 280.24
140 - 84,16
143 - 570,489

[L18L]

label_ic_body : 3 lines in en, ru but 4 lines in de
label_help_body: 3 lines in en, de but 4 lines in ru

New: each has 4 lines (see REM in .bac)

L18L, your script is almost OK, but I had to change some parameters:
line 44 - 664,534 - making whole window a little wider
line 92 - 568,165 - word 'Connect' a bit to the right
line 112 - 430,16 - line was cut off in the end
line 121 - 220,24 - 'Сохранение сессии' - one letter was missing
line 166 - 570,509 - moving word 'setup' a bit to the right to be in the middle of sign.
And I guess it's OK.

L18L and rodin.s,
Thanks very much.

Note however, your dimensions are a bit messed up, as you are not using the very latest BaCon and HUG. That is, my PETs dated 20110414.

This means that the lines with "xalign" and "yalign" PROPERTY are being ignored. -- or so it seems.

Anyway, I am taking your latest source code and fixing it.

[BarryK]

Oh, you also need the latest hug_imports.bac, which is also in my latest PET.

rodin.s, would you kindly post the 'menu2.png' for Russian? The English one is /usr/share/doc/menu2.png.

I have got it working nicely, correctly laid out for en, de and ru. If anyone else wants to create a country translation, probably this thread is not the best place to do it. I'll announce it on my blog and people can respond there.

I don't want to tweak the dimensions anymore. Any future translations, they can edit the text to fit.

Thanks guys for the help.

Here's menu2.png for russian.

rodin.s,
Thanks for the menu2.png, I have put it into Woof.

The latest welcome1stboot.bac (that I used for the fr translation) has not been posted here. It has a couple of slightly longer label widgets.

This is what your ru translation looks like now:

[rodin.s]

Looks good.

Wow, this bacon stuff is cool!

I need to rewrite my snap2 backup utility (GUI frontend to rsync), since it is gtkdialog-based and gtkdialog is no longer supported in Debian Linux. I am looking at bacon/hug for that.

To help port snap2 from gtkdialog to bacon, I would really like to see the source code for a bacon app that uses multiple tabs. I think this is possible using the "notebook" widget.

Does anyone know of a bacon-coded app (with source code available) that uses multiple tabs?

[L18L]

Too tired to write, so here an excerpt of README

[L18L]

next version 1.02

no more yaf-splash
the simple solution was using SYNC

destination dialog
seems to have some blank lines of text. But in other translations which need longer text there are no blank lines. I have used the new PROPERTY.

Vovchiks's gxlat now available converted to BaCon and internationalized using GNU/gettext , see

[rodin.s]

I have found some mistakes in welcome1stboot_ru translation. So here's corrected version.
