Very Well done

Barry kauler has mentioned this on his blog
and I feel it is an important step
as computers,in particular next generation
tablets, slates and netbooks are being manufactured in China.

At the moment Puppy is x86 dependent
but the dragon chip might become a future possibility http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loongson
as Dpup is Debian compatible and
Debian is working on a Mips port . . .

改了font.conf文件，有点效果，但

新的fcitx输入法，更改打开关闭输入法的快

谢谢

@Lobster：
Thank you for your China's attention. In China, many people are using puppy. Godson should be able to run the puppy, but I am not testing it.
Your Chinese is very good!

Hello, can you please explain the difference between 'Basic Chinese localisation' and 'Total Chinese localisation'? I assume that the basic option retains English as the language the menus and system dialogues are written in. Is this right?

Thanks. I want to try to set up a system for a Chinese speaker.

Thanks,
Quentin.

I just finished 2 localization pets in Traditional Chinese for lupu_528 and slacko-5.3.3. Key features included:

1.Chinese Input Method scim-1.4.7, scim-bridge-0.1.4.5, scim-tables-0.5.8

2.Chinese fonts from wqy-icrohei.ttf (5 mb)

3.all the desktop items, menus, icons, descriptions, pop ups, notes etc are localized.

4.Also included are web-found and DIY mo files for Traditional Chinese and some small cosmetic changes like showing partition labels and reversing the order of folder layers.

You can download them from here:

Hello icake,

Nice job! If you made the Slacko language pack using MoManager, it should work on the latest Wary and Racy, too. You should let BarryK know about your language packs, he may want to put them on the official repositories.

I have been working on the Traditional Chinese localization pet for racy-5.3 and wary-5.3 for the last few days. However, the jwm modifications that I did to the slacko-5.3.3 and lupu_528 was crashing xwin on restart of racy-5.3 and wary-5.3.

The current version is 0.5.0.2 which can handle the Traditional Chinese localization of racy-5.3 and wary-5.3 but without the jwm modifications.

Here is the pet: racy-5.3-zhhk-0.5.0.2.pet (16 mb) https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=F ... cwgisfKqIc

icake,
If you use MoManager, JWM translations work.

MoManager works for all puppies built from Woof since late February 2012. It is recommended that you use the latest Woof-built Puppy, Well, Wary or Racy 5.3 should be ok.

MoManager is a GUI application in the menu.

To find out how to use it, go to my blog and type "MoManager" into the search-box:

http://bkhome.org/blog/

If you install poedit, MoManager will recognise and use it. Otherwise, MoManager will fall back to using Geany text editor to edit po files.

MoManager will also use the Surfer HTML viewer that is in Wary and Racy, as well as the SeaMonkey web browser, which provides an improved translation environment for HTML files, compared with some puppies that do not have a separate HTML viewer.

Barry,

Thanks for the information which is critical for future refinements of my language pets.

During the weekend, I had upgraded the 3 Traditional Chinese language pets to 0.5.0.4. Changes include:

1. A different approach was used to localize the desktop icon labels to preserve user defined desktop icons.
The previous method did not preserve any user defined desktop icons on installation and uninstallation
of the language pet. This is now fixed.

2. The latest jwm-579 source files were used to fix a minor issue which is not related to the localization process.
When you right click on any window's header border area, you get a menu. If you select the "Layer" option, you get
a vertical sub-menu. This vertical sub-menu is showing "Top" at the bottom and "Bottom" on top.
I attempted to fix this last year by modifying the winmenu.c file in jwm-542. This has been working fine
up to lupu_528 and slacko-5.3.3. But it crashed xwin for both racy-5.3 and wary-5.3.

Modified jwm-579 has been good in all my test runs including racy-5.3 and wary-5.3 and is used in all
the 0.5.0.4 language pets.

3. I have uploaded the following 3 pets and a brief documentation file here:
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=F ... F3CFE7!108
slacko-5.3.3-zhhk-0.5.0.4.pet
racy-5.3-zhhk-0.5.0.4.pet (works for both racy-5.3 and wary-5.3)
lupu_528-zhhk-0.5.0.4.pet

Your input arrived at the best possible time because I was trying to contact you last week but was unable
to log into your bog and I could not find your email address.

I have just uploaded to:
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=F ... F3CFE7!108
the following 6 language pets:

Simplified Chinese:
lupu_528-zhcn-0.5.0.5.pet for lupu_528
racy-5.3-zhcn.0.5.0.5.pet for both racy-5.3 and wary-5.3
slacko-5.3.3-zhcn.0.5.0.5.pet for slacko-5.3.3

Traditional Chinese:
lupu_528-zhhk-0.5.0.5.pet for lupu_528
racy-5.3-zhhk.0.5.0.5.pet for both racy-5.3 and wary-5.3
slacko-5.3.3-zhhk.0.5.0.5.pet for slacko-5.3.3

Also uploaded are the English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese
briefing files containing user tips on these language pets.

Enjoy.
