Available software...
Right-click-6.9.0.pet 2 mb
(untick downloader box to avoid datafilehost app)
icake-zh CN-modified-7.0.4b.pet 23.79 MB This contains a Chinese font.
Working with forum member icake I have come up with this
procedure to quickly convert Precise, Slacko or Raring Puppy linux
to Chinese. There still needs to be some translating done, but this will
be done over the next week. So far only zh_CN , but Taiwanese and
Hong Kong versions will be available too in future!
Tested on :
Slacko 5.5
precise 5.6.1
EDIT: now works with Raring
Here's a useful table of versions that icake has been testing...
Installation procedure:
1) After first setting up your Puppy (for instance Slacko 5.5)
the first step is to install icake-zh CN-modified-7.0.4.pet with a simple
click. There will be a message screen that will tell you to restart
X Windows. Do this. (very important!!)
2) This will now set the language to zh_CN. You can now run the
next pet package Right-click-6.9.0.pet . (see image) Choose OK
if you want the Chinese translations in the menu. Choose NO if
you want out of installation procedure.
WARNING! If your language was set differently (for instance German),
then the German right click menus would be installed!!
You don't have to restart X windows, because the effect is immediate
(see image in next post.)

I updated the right click package to version 6.8.8.
It appears to work properly for LANG=zh_CN
For LANG=zh_TW and LANG=zh_HK I assume that there is an icake
language package available
You should go to icake page and search his repository
Warning from icake: Please note that starting from version 8.0.0, the Chinese
Language pets do not include Chinese font file and Chinese Input Method Platform.
The recommended method to use these Chinese Language pets is to
install the universal half-Chinese Language pets. The required lowest
versions of universal half-Chinese Language pets for precise-5.7.4 are:
fcitx Chinese Input Method platform:fcitx-420-en-zh-8.0.2.pet (12 mb)
SCIM Chinese Input Method platform:SCIM-147-en-zh-8.0.1.pet (20 mb)
(or any of their newer versions)
