______________________________________________________

I have written a tutorial to aid people who want to contribute to the
localization of Puppy Projects by translating English phrases into
Hebrew or Arabic. There is a lack of a good bidirectional text editor,
but I think I have found the solution. It is called Yudit.
I believe it has enough features to do the job. I don't speak Hebrew
or Arabic so I don't know. I do know that it must allow several
languages and two directions of text flow, and Yudit supports this.
I invite feedback.

Possible minor annoyance - I can't double check it now because I'd have to reinstall Puppy to make sure, but the it_IT file in my 5.1 install seems to be encoded as ISO-8859-1, while the other quickpet translation files are UTF-8.

I noticed that because I was getting a weird crossed-box character in place of the accented vowels. I opened the /usr/local/quickpet/locals/it_IT file with Geany, saved it back as UTF-8 (no BOM) and then the accented vowels were rendered correctly. Not sure whether it makes a difference for all users or only the ones that choose to run their apps in UTF-8 as I do, but I thought to report it just in case.

EDIT: I did double check with a fresh install that I had to do for another reason, and I can confirm that it_IT does come encoded as ISO-8859-1.

With the ISO encoding the Italian accented vowels in Quickpet are broken for everybody (whether they check the UTF-8 box on chooselocale or not), and saving the file as UFT-8 fixes the issue for everybody .

Thanks for pointing out this issue, it will be fixed in the next version.

I wonder.. since you seem to be native Italian.. can you complete the Italian translation? Not just yet though.. in the coming days there will be some minor changes,

Grazie tanto!

Yes I can. Count me in

As for not starting right now, it's ok if I monitor this thread and pick up the next (post-305) version ?

Grazie tanto!

You are welcome

Thanks to all.

Hi, 01micko

Here you have a quick Brazilian Portuguese translation of Quickpet.
I wish there are some more Brazilians here to check my job.
I think I found 2 typing errors in basic English text.
In:

export LOC_WARNINGINSTALL="package will leave you with less than 45 MB \nof pupsave or partition after instaltion \nContinue?"

There is an LA missing in the word "installation"

and in:

export LOC_107="Connection timed out. Please try again later or rest the Timeout in Preferences"

I suppose the rest shoud be reset

I didn't test my translation in Quickpet yet. Taking your suggestion, I am going to rest now.

Cheers,

Renato

Spanish local for v4beta5 400...
Using the base of previous Droope work + some corrections (usé una traducción más formal para que sea entendible por todos los hispanos, no sólo por los rioplatenses -como yo-) + translation on the newest parts...

Still can't probe it on LuPu 501...
When I overwrite the 'es_ES:spanish' file for this -attached-new version, it returns to english..
Am I doing something wrong with the test?

Usuarios y traductores hispanos: Siéntanse libres de corregir y criticar...

Cheers.

01micko · #108 Post by **01micko** » Wed 17 Nov 2010, 07:30

Thanks mave and GustavoYz,

They are added for the next version, just awaiting some code from Barry to update the Quickpet back end.

Cheers

Hola GustavoYz,

I wonder what would happen if you change your locale (menu > desktop > country settings) from es_AR to es_ES, just for testing? If that would give you the Spanish Quickpet, it would mean a link between es_AR and es_ES is missing or broken.
buena suerte!
