Is it possible to have a button that show what was the original english word that everybody knows what it means and then at next click it shift back to the local language?
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Hello shinobar

Although I am mono-lingual , this SFS seems to work just fine in Lucid Puppy 5.

I did have a problem with my screen resolution though in the first setup.

I am testing French, not that I can speak French but I have been working with some of the guys localising Quickpet, a new program in Puppy , and French is one of the languages working with it so far.

Thanks for this.

Cheers

conflict with pre-installed Chinese support?

#20 Post by otropogo »

What happens if you load lang-support-all.sfs on a Puppy 4.3.1 system that already has Chinese display support installed?

Is there a danger of corruption?

recommmended to use lang-support-all with native puppy/pupplet.
boot up with 'pfix=ram' option and make new pupsave, then apply lang-support-all-*.sfs.

Mirror for lang_support_all-1.5.sfs

http://www.smokey01.com/01micko/lucid/l ... ll-1.5.sfs

thanks to smokey01

Icewm has NLS files, and Firefox has NLS at the main site, and Language plugins so as far as I see that is not a big problem.. maybe though Icewm doesn't support CJK, not sure.

Hello,

I'm a relative puppy noob, but i cannot apply the .sfs file as the opening post suggests, i'm dying to get puppy translated in dutch through this solution but i don't know what to do.

Am i suppose to extract it and drop it into sda1?

Thanks for the help in advance

1. Install any of Puppy/pupplets 4.x/5.x with default settings(keyboard:us, locale:en-US).
2. Apply lang_support_all-*.sfs.
3. Countrywizard from menu or run /usr/sbin/countrywizard to change the language.
Add SFS File to Bootup(Puppy Linux FAQ) may help.

If you do not consist on some puppy, try the Lucid Puppy Quckset editon(LupQ), the Release candidate for now.
You need not lang_support_all with LupQ. The dutch language pack lang_pack_nl-lupq-0.1.pet, apply against only LupQ, is available. I made it today! :)

ALBT.

I like this package. Used it to localize wary into Russian. Found the problem. It switches time to few hours. The problem is in /etc/rc.country - replaced it with the original but changed one line to except UTF-8 from SFS's rc.country. It changes console font while booting but does not change time. Cannot use Lupu. It's too heavy for my old PC and it hangs up on another one when I put in USB-flash or modem.

I am currently using lucid puppy.

since I am using scim to key-in Japanese, I installed these pets in the system:

1.scim-1.4.9.pup4.4.2.2.1.pet
2.scim-anthy-1.2.7.pup4.4.2.2.1.pet
3.scim-bridge-0.4.16-pup4.pet
4.anthy-9100h.patch13Bptn23/2009527.1.pet

The scim is working fine with these pets installed.

But I also want to have another language input, which is the chinese.

So, I went to www.scim-im.org and downloaded an archive named scim-pinyin-0.5.91.tar.gz

that claims to be able the user to use pinyin to input the chinese.

Since this is not a pet file, how I am going to let my puppy recognize the files inside the archive? For example, where should I extract the folder to? And what are the steps after the extraction? Or I am still lack of some other files to complete my installation?

Please help.

Spanish language pack doesn't work

#33 Post by ferro10n »

Hi, just wanted to say I tried the Spanish language pack, langpack_es, both the version for LupQ and for Wary5, in Lucid Puppy 5.11 and didn't work. I don't want to switch to LupQ just because of a language pack, so first, if there's a language pack for LP511 I want to try it. At least a language pack for the menu and for ROX filler, since they're the only things I can still see in English when I try to switch LP511 to Spanish without language pack.

This looks like overkill for my modest needs. I don't want to change my interface to any other language.

All I want is the ability to correctly input Chinese, Russian, German, French, and Spanish text with Seamonkey or Firefox, or some other browser supported by Puppy 5.2.8. For all but Chinese, a simple on-screen keyboard would probably do. For Chinese, I'd prefer to be able to write simplified or traditional characters using a pen tablet or a pen mouse (in which I have considerable past practice), as I suspect keyboard methods would come with a high learning curve.
