the translation files for jwm_menu_create are here:
/usr/share/locale/<your_language>/LC_MESSAGES/jwm

If anyone would like to add/improve translations I will include them in a minor point release. (I am working on another project in C/gtk1 at the moment, so jwm tools are on the back burner unless I have a eureka moment on adding tray support in a comprehensive way)

Hi, sc0ttman.

If it's ok with everyone, and in particular with technosaurus, I'll see what I can do to clean up and improve the French translation you initially asked Google... >;-< to provide. This is sort of an honour thing for me, since I translate EN->FR for a living... I'd hate to see my dear Puppy become the laugh of Francophones worlwide because of a google-esque menu.

To give you some context, this is one of the things professional translators do to have fun: we gather 'round a computer and send sentences to Google for translation. Unmistakably, we come out of these little sessions with our ribs hurting because we laughed so much. Google translations are usually way off, that's why they're so funny.

To come back to the subject at hand : I have the Toutou FAT version installed so I'll try to use argolance's translations as much as possible -- with his permission, of course.

Can I PM you for explanations on the script you provided? The translation itself shouldn't be difficult, but I want to make sure I understand where to place everything so it works.

BFN and thanks in advance.

[quote="sc0ttman"]I should probably post this elsewhere, but anyway...

This little script will get google translations your .desktop files, based on the english "Name=" .. It should then put the new translation into the correct .desktop file, if no transltion was already found for your chosen language..

A folder /usr/share/applications/[lang] is created, look in there for all the translations...

I ran it a few times, for de, fr, es .. Seems to work OK for me, but I havent tested the 2nd loop, which actually adds them back in to the original .desktop files.. Running it now.. not the fastest script ever!

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
LOC=ru
DIR="/usr/share/applications/${LOC}"
[ -d ${DIR} ] || mkdir "${DIR}"
for file in /usr/share/applications/*; do
	[ -f $file ] && name=$(cat "$file" | grep '^Name=')
	name1=${name#*[}
	name1=${name1%]*}
	name1=${name1/Puppy /XPUP}
	sleep "4.${RANDOM}"
	name_loc=`wget -qO- "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/translate?v=1.0&q=${name1#*=}&langpair=en|${LOC}" | sed 's/.*"translatedText":"\([^"]*\)".*}/\1\n/'`
	name_loc=${name_loc/XPUP/Puppy }
	echo "Name[${LOC}]=${name_loc/ \\u003d /=}" > $DIR/$(basename $file)
done 

for file in /usr/share/applications/*; do
	en_name=`$(cat $file) | grep "Name\[$LOC\]"`
	if [ "$en_name" = "" ];then
		name_loc="`cat $DIR/$(basename $file)`"
		[ "$name_loc" != "" ] && echo "$name_loc" >> "$file"
	fi
done
For example, heres the French output ..probably half nonsense and more sanitation is required (see 'd\u0026#39;') :

Code: Select all

Name[fr]=Accès-Finder
Name[fr]=Alsamixer - mélangeur audio
Name[fr]=Assistant son ALSA
Name[fr]=Asunder - CD Ripper
Name[fr]=Émulateur de terminal aterm
Name[fr]=Xautoconnect au réseau sans fil
Name[fr]=Chiot accélérateur de téléchargement
Name[fr]=BashBurn - Graver un CD / DVD
Name[fr]=BashPodder - Podcast gestionnaire
Name[fr]=Bluefish Editor

to get all of the desktop files Name= parameter

grep "Name=" /usr/share/applications/* |sed "s/=/\[fr\]=/" >translatable_file

that can be used for adding them back (via separate script)

if anyone else would like to do that for other languages just replace fr with your 2 letter language code

fyi, I have mentioned this before, but just so you know up front. Many of these desktop files originally had proper translations, but were stripped out to save size; however many packagers will still put the full version of the desktop file in the corresponding NLS package (that's what I typically do) ... anyhow, installing an NLS package afterwards may clobber your translations with the "official" ones if you do them in the desktop files directly - that would be frustrating as hell, which is why I suggest using a separate file

For now, here is a "jwm" fr_CA file, the one that goes in /usr/share/locale/fr_CA.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/.

This could also go in

/usr/share/locale/fr_CA/LC_MESSAGES/jwm, if one is not using utf8. Or in

/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/jwm, if our Francophone friends from Europe find it suitable. There are subtle differences in the way Francophones from different countries label menus and sub-menus -- and obviously, individuals.

I have used an "adjective" form at times for sub-menus, to keep the width of the menu from spreading.

So here it is. Constructive criticisms -- that aim to improve things -- are welcome.

I perused argolance's *.desktop designations in his "Toutou - FAT- RELOADED" as well as his jwm menu and program names, and it seems that the French team has been using workarounds -- not naming the program per se but substituting to it a very short description of what it does. So, the longer translation will have to wait a couple of days.

Well for now would any native French users say Musher0's translation effort beats techno's google effort? If so I'll put it in Slacko.

It seems ok to a non-native speaker, but is it necessary to have "SESSION" in all caps? ..or is that based on a distro/puplet specific shutdown script?

I think these are already translated in jwm_menu_create ... and many more (Thank others, I barely speak english, but am fluent in shell)
Ok.

For the record, that link to Fossil repo is out of date, the fixmenus file has changed considerably:

I'll probably do a new minor point release this week with some xlations, but I want to do a little experiment first ... export LANG=C after the translation variables are loaded to see if 1. Translations stick with proper characters and such, and 2. Test speed difference

If anyone has more bug/translation fixes ...

Tested jwm_para_gui in latest racy
did not work because no config file

A config file is being created by jwm_menu_create.

I have integrated this into jwm_param_gui together with adding the LANGUAGE parameter

Code: Select all

# create missing config file ~/.jwm/JWMRC and missing LANGUAGE parameter

version=0.7.3
--------
Maybe moving the location of translation files
from
/usr/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/jwm
to
/usr/share/locales/*/jwm
is a good idea?

Hi, technosaurus.

No, it could be "Session", but AFAIK there seems to be a consensus in Toutou's to have it in caps. Maybe to bring attention to this item, as if saying "this is where you control your session". I don't care either way, really.

If you use the Google one... at least make sure you have the "Calculate" item read "Calculs" and not "Calcus" -- which could as well be "Cactus"...(ouch) or even something vulgar...

...done

Running in Racy 5229 was not possible because no language files included. In normal cases a program would run English.....

Thus I have fixed some bugs and, for easier testing added the entry jwm_tools: Parameters in jwmconfig.
Thus launches jwm_param_gui where you can choose from the installed languages (Dutch added)

Have fun

Sorry
yet a bug in 1 of the scripts
value not "" but " " (always 1 space too much)
does not change SUBMENU and DRIVES

-----
edit: here is a fix.

edit: bug located
choices were always overwritten by config file
quick fix:
search in file
$HOME/.jwm/JWMRC
for
SUBMENU="1" #SUBMENUS=""
DRIVES="1" #DRIVES=""
and change every found into
#SUBMENU="1" #SUBMENUS=""
#DRIVES="1" #DRIVES=""

thanks for testing

jwm_tools-0.9 (was jwm_menu_create)

#109 Post by L18L »

Please delete config file /root/.jwm/JWMRC
then install 0.9.3.pet

What´s new?

jwm_param_gui can be launched from JWM configuration

known bugs are fixed

menu has an alternative for translations now
no more inside /usr/share/applications/*.desktop
but simply in 1 file, ex: /usr/share/locales/de/names
/usr/share/locales/de/names wrote:s%"Abiword wordprocessor"%"Abiword Textverarbeitung"%
s%"FFConvert multimedia converter"%"FFConvert Multimedia-Konverter"%
s%"Mixer generic sound mixer"%"Mixer Sound-Mischpult"%
s%"Pmount mount/unmount drives"%"Pmount Laufwerke ein-/aushängen"%
Copy this file (170 program names from racy, extendable) into your locales and you can translate everything very quick (momanager needed more than 1 minute for each word and I think this is much better)

J have been working on some C projects lately and haven't gotten the stuff done here that I wanted to, so I am posting a quick, updated todo list. - let me know if I am missing something
  • sync up with patches - thanks guys
    finish support for multiple custom trays, including app trays, swallow and all other niceties.
    have option for drives as a menu instead of a tray (then jwm -reload will update them on the fly)
    remove the %* from the execs in the menu - jwm does not support drag and drop, so %U, %s, %f and whatever are meaningless
    (NOTE: what if there is an rxvt -e with a printf "%s...", ...)
    add tools for viewing pdf and other doc types that can be converted to images to reduce resource usage similar to the image viewer (mubusy in mupdf will do pdf and several other formats, abiword's cli can do others, etc...)
    Explain the purpose of unix-ifying the tools and general documentation.
