Hi folks,
Language Pack not been completed yet. Turkish users may contact me for this topic.


Puppy için oluşturduğum dil paketine katkıda bulunmak isteyen Türk arkadaşlar, bu konu üzerinden veya özel mesaj yoluyla bana ulaşabilirler. Dil paketinin kurulabilir ilk şeklini ekte paylaşıyorum.

Hello omrakin

We're happy to see some interest in teaching Puppy to bark in Turkish. If you need some help or have any questions, you can ask the langpack maintainers:

esmourguit (French)
L18L (German)
rodin.s (Russian)
robwoj44 (Polish)
vicmz (Spanish) ---> That's me

There isn't a langpack maintainer for Turkish yet, if you think you can then go for it.

There is some helpful documentation on how to translate Puppy in the Menu > Help > HOWTO Internationalization (you can also read it online).

There is no need to make separate langpack PET packages for individual versions of Puppy Linux, language packs made through Momanager can translate all official versions of Puppy Linux and theirs derivatives as long as they were built from Woof2 version of 28 February 2012 or later, that is:

Official builds
- Precise Puppy (current version is Precise 5.4.3)
- Slacko 5.3.3 and above (current version is Slacko 5.4)
- Wary and Racy 5.3 and above (currently in development: Wary and Racy 5.4 beta 2)
- Squeezed ARM Puppy, or just Puppi (Puppy Linux for the Raspberry Pi board, currently under development)
Derivatives
(Customized versions of Puppy, they may need some extra translations but you can include them all in the same langpack, see the main forum topic of the derivative for more information)
- Dpup Exprimo (latest versions)
- Precise NOP
- Upup Precise
- Lxpup
- ToOpPy
... and any Puppy derivative (pupplet) made from the latest Woof2 (see the Derivatives section).

Greetings and welcome to the kennels!

omrakin,

This is to help you a little bit with your langpack. I don't speak Turkish, but I can find out which Puppy programs have translations for your language and where in the langpack PET they must be placed. So, I searched the web and put some existing Turkish translations into your langpack:

https://dl.dropbox.com/s/68c4b36zrxputi0/langpack_tr-20130107.pet?dl=1

I included translations for Abiword, Gnumeric, Gnome MPlayer, Leafpad, Osmo and Geany. I also added the Hunspell dictionary for Turkish language, for spellchecking in Abiword, Gnumeric, Seamonkey and POedit. If you install the Extract-makePET utility then right-click the langpack and select "extract here", you will see where the Abiword locales and the Hunspell dictionary are, this is important because Momanager still doesn't include them in the langpack automatically. You can download the Extract-makePET utility here:

https://dl.dropbox.com/s/yvonqjdbq6gv58c/Extract-makepet-1.0.pet?dl=1

Once you have put the extra files in their places, simply right-click the folder that the utility extracted and select "makepet", this will package back the folder and its contents into a PET.

Unfortunately, ROX-Filer doesn't have a translation for Turkish, but you can download this .pot file and place it at /usr/share/doc/nls/ROX-Filer, so that Momanager recognizes it, or you can change the .pot extension to .po and edit the file directly with POedit:

https://dl.dropbox.com/s/5zy5trq68tixjoi/ROX-Filer.pot?dl=1

Seamonkey has language extensions for Turkish language:

Download Turkish language extension for Seamonkey 2.13.1 (Precise Puppy 5.4.x has this version as default browser)
Download Turkish language extension for Seamonkey 2.6.1 (Wary and Racy 5.3 have this version as default browser)

Install the language extension, then go to Edit > Preferences and in the Appearance section, choose Turkish language from the list at the end of the dialog, then restart Seamonkey.

Other browsers:

Firefox (portable version from Mozilla.org)
Opera + language files
Chromium

For those who want to use LibreOffice in Turkish, you can find packages and translations for LibreOffice here:
