See my blog announcement:
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02705
I have started a to-do list for things that have to be done next:
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02706
Anyone who wants to play with these new pups, you are welcome!
Want to be a translator? We have a Russian "langpack" created by rodin.s, but want more. I think that there might be de and fr langpacks on the way, but of course we need more.
Read my blog posts to find out what has been going on in this department -- MoManager, a brand new one-stop-shop for creating a langpack PET.
Note, the desktop 'install' icon has a choice to install SFS files, and I have added 'poedit' -- if you install this, MoManager will recognise it and optionally use it -- in case you don't want to use Geany text editor to edit po translation files.
Any feedback welcome in this Forum thread...

1st boot using plang=de_DE or de_LU or de_BE
quicksetup has german language.
But only if plang is a
valid locale.
(I have been trying plang=de without success)
valid locales for de:
Code: Select all
cd /usr/share/i18n/locales ; ls de* ; cd - 1>/dev/null

Barry, since you have implemented this using LANG
setting of LANGUAGE is required no more.

Harmful because you can
not test scripts in another LANGUAGE, ex: LANGUAGE=ru quicksetup

Upgrade from 5.2.2 to 5.2.2.7
All has gone well... Everything appears to be working as before.
Now to see what the upgrade improved for gold prospecting season approaching fast (mostly what I use Racy for)?

Gathering existing Spanish translations. I'll add new and revised ones as well.
By the way, has Wary MoManager too?

Yes, plang must be a full locale, ex: de_DE.UTF-8
I have modified 'init' script to reject an incomplete plang.
I have taken out setting of LANGUAGE, again that was done in init script.

MoManager is in Woof, so is in both Wary and Racy.

5.2.2.7
eth0 fine... Still... No Wireless Hookup.
rt2800 is said to be there and in fact Barry's Simple Netwoork Setup says wlan0 is an active interface but for some reason it never activates my linksys stick (blue light doen NOT come on, on the stick) nor will it allow me to configure wlan0.
Installed Frisbee... it does NOT recognize wlan0 as even being there to configure so, I get nowhere with Frisbee!
pemasu tried helping with this same problem in another thread with previous 5.2.2 but I ended up nowhere there, even with his help.
To me... it appears rt2800 configuration is NOT getting to my linksys stick!
Ran 'wicd Network Manager' in a distro called 'Porteus' , linksys stick blue light comes on at bootup, it tells me to configure SID and Password and bingo... on internet with wireless... so, it isn't my system causing the problem.
For referance: This same problem (No Wireless) persists in ALL other newer Puppy versions and I test a lot of them.

Installed latest retrovol-0.12.pet from
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=50744
which has included French (thanks to Argolance
) and German mo files.
In momanager there is no chance to edit or include it into
langpack.
retrovol is a
binary executable.
jwm is also a binary executable but it is handled by momanager.

Maybe it is a good solution to NOT offer everything for translation

Thanks to rodin.s we have also xwin internationalized.
Really very important messages!
Returning from X the
first character in
console is displaying just as 1 question mark.
in xwin line 547 rodin.s wrote:#unicode_start #i18n rodin.s for unicode start after exit from X. ??????what is this??????
After some trials I have found the solution:
font has to be
set again
Tested succesfully (just for 1 font
) by inserting
xwin line 548:
Code: Select all
zcat /lib/consolefonts/LatGrkCyr-8x16.psfu.gz | loadfont # !!! a solution
