 internationalization of initrd messages at bootup
Sub_title: [was: internationalization of bootup messages] |

Wouldn't it be nice to see messages at bootup in your language?
Not just nice but often helpful.
I have started this using frugal installation of latest wary5.1.103
Now limited to available consolefonts lat1 and lat2, but it is a start

That is how this file has been created:
extracted init from itird.gz
marked 63 translatable lines by '#tr'
extract them:
grep '#tr$' init > translation
cat -n translation | cut -d '"' -f2 > tr
cat -n translation | cut -d '"' -f4 >>tr
cat -n translation | cut -d '"' -f6 >>tr
edit tr:
trimmed
delete double entries
delete empty lines
59 lines remaining
create sed file:
file=translated
echo '#English#translation#' > $file
while read LINE; do
echo "s#${LINE}#${LINE}#g" >> $file
done<tr
cp translated to boot_msg/de
edit boot_msg/de:
s#English message#German message#g

internationalization of initrd messages at bootup
Sub_title: bugfix |
|
Reviewing screenshot now...
mishmash of deutsch english in performing a 'switch_root' ....
Reason: translation of 'to'
Fix:
# OLDstr='to'
# [ "$xOLDPVERSION" != "0.0" ] && OLDstr="from version $xOLDPVERSION to"
[ "$xOLDPVERSION" != "0.0" ] && OLDstr="from version $xOLDPVERSION"
echo "You are upgrading Puppy ${OLDstr} to ${NEWPVERSION}." >/dev/console
This will cause 'to' to NOT be in the translation template 
_______________________
German translation:
getan is 
erledigt appeared to be better but too long (last letter in next line)
fertig will be in next version
Any suggestions for better translations ?
...Zugriff auf Plattenlaufwerke ???
Lade die 'puppy_wary...' Hauptdatei...
oder besser?:
Lade die Hauptdatei 'puppy_wary...'...

internationalization of initrd messages at bootup
Sub_title: demo using 2 different consolefonts |
|
Howto display UTF-8 in console?
Here is a little demo made in wary 5.2
Extract attached console_i18n_demo.tar.gz where you like to
Here is a screenshot of executing script i18n
If it does not display properly for every language you might install
ucs-fonts-target3.pet
busybox in initrd does NOT have setfont
so I could not use it where it should be used: in initrd
Anyone able to add fontset to busybox of initrd?
edited:
using loadfont now which is included in busybox of initrd (thanks Technosaurus)

The picture brings up a couple of interesting questions:
Is "Wary" a bad word in anybodies language?
Some cultures, German is one as is English, calling someone or something a dog has a meaning. Is there anything bad about the word puppy?
The puplets like "bigdog" may have an issue in some languages too.

This word is not used in German. (but: make love not war was popular once upon a time...)

Calling someone a dog can be a compliment in Bavaria
The word puppy in German is unknown
Depending on its pronountiation it is either a doll or daddy 
So nothing bad

here is the fastest/easiest method that I have found, it doesn't require bashisms or any outside shell stuff like sed/grep/cut/tr ....
but more importantly, the translation files are raw text that _any_ user can modify
here is a basic template:
| Code: | case $LANG in
de*|be*|br*|dk*|es*|fi*|fr*|it*|no*|se*|sv*|pt*)
modprobe nls_cp850
CODEPAGE="850"
zcat /lib/consolefonts/lat1-12.psfu.gz | loadfont
;;
cz*|hu*|pl*|ro*|sk*|cr*|sl*)
modprobe nls_cp852
modprobe nls_iso8859-2
CODEPAGE="852"
zcat /lib/consolefonts/lat2-12.psfu.gz | loadfont
;;
esac
case $LANG in
#uncomment locales as they are added
# de*). /etc/locale/de/init;;
# be*). /etc/locale/be/init;;
# br*). /etc/locale/br/init;;
# dk*). /etc/locale/dk/init;;
# es*). /etc/locale/es/init;;
# fi*). /etc/locale/fi/init;;
# fr*). /etc/locale/fr/init;;
# it*). /etc/locale/it/init;;
# no*). /etc/locale/no/init;;
# se*). /etc/locale/se/init;;
# sv*). /etc/locale/sv/init;;
# pt*). /etc/locale/pt/init;;
# cz*). /etc/locale/cz/init;;
# hu*). /etc/locale/hu/init;;
# pl*). /etc/locale/pl/init;;
# ro*). /etc/locale/ro/init;;
# sk*). /etc/locale/sk/init;;
# cr*). /etc/locale/cr/init;;
# sl*). /etc/locale/sl/init;;
*)echo $LANG not yet supported, please help us translate >/dev/console
esac
#each file in /etc/locale/*/init will contain localized string variables like:
# VAR1='Some translated string'
# ...
# VARZ='Last translated string'
#NOTE: use a variable name that makes sense for translating for the template
# instead of VAR1='', use PERFORMING_SWITCHROOT=''
echo ${VAR1:-Default English Message Here} >/dev/console
#more code here
echo ${PERFORMING_SWITCHROOT:-Performing Switchroot} >/dev/console

Technosaurus,
One question about your localized string variables
Can they contain variables?
For example how would you make
| Code: | | s#Increasing $PUPSAVEFILE by $KILOBIG Kbytes, please wait...#Vergrößere $PUPSAVEFILE um $KILOBIG Kbytes, bitte warten...#g |
Your script has given the solution for my font problem using loadfont instead of setfont now.
| Code: | case $plang in
el) zcat /lib/consolefonts/LatGrkCyr-8x16.psfu.gz | loadfont # greek
*) zcat /lib/consolefonts/LatArCyrHeb-16.psfu.gz | loadfont
esac |
Tested, it works, booted wary52 Russian (just the first 2 phrases)
That is my solution for now.
Thanks for your input
L

since they are variables, I wouldn't (there is a way, but would increase code complexity) ... instead, use multiple small variables:
echo ${INCREASING:-Increasing} $PUPSAVEFILE ${BY:-by} $KILOBIG Kbytes, ${PLSWAIT:-please wait...} >/dev/console

Perhaps a useful trick for language selection

[quote="technosaurus"]
| Code: |
case $LANG in
#uncomment locales as they are added
# de*). /etc/locale/de/init;;
# be*). /etc/locale/be/init;;

how about:
| Code: |
if test -e /etc/locale/${LANG}/init ; then
. /etc/locale/${LANG}/init
fi
|
If you make a file with the right name it gets used.
The mere addition of a file causes the new translation to happen

i had done it like this:
[ -e /etc/locale/${LANG}/init ] && . /etc/locale/${LANG}/init
but realized that sometimes it may be something like de_DE (thus the case statement)
but now that you mentioned it, it could be
| Code: |
[ -e /etc/locale/${LANG:0:2}/init ] && . /etc/locale/${LANG:0:2}/init |

Hi guys,
This is interesting stuff. I'm a bit pre-occupied right now, but intend to come back and read this thread properly later.
One quick question. L18L, I see that you propose "plang=de", but Puppy already supports "pkeys=de" -- couldn't we just have the one, to simplify things? Perhaps "plang=de" could also imply keyboard layout is "de". Or, maybe they do need to remain separate.
