Internationalization of Fatdog64-700b2

[L18L]

A quick-locale-switcher will have to follow soon.

.. and here it is.

Expand attached add_to_fd65-700b2-NLS-5 to /

This will enable you to quickly (without RestartX) switch between your different (UTF-8) locales that you have before in control panel.

Copy

Code: Select all

#!/bin/ash
# create template for translation of technosaurus' jwm_menu_create
IN=/usr/bin/jwm_menu_create; OUT=jwm
echo "# translate \"strings\" to ${LANG%_*} language 
# and move this file jwm to $TEXTDOMAINDIR/${LANG%_*}/LC_MESSAGES/jwm
# run fixmenus and jwm -restart and you see your translation in JWM menu.
#" > $OUT
while read  A; do
  case "$A" in
   *{jwm_*\:\-*) A=${A%\}*}; A=${A##*\{}; echo "${A/:-/=\"}\"" >> $OUT ;;
  esac
done < $IN
exit 0

to new /usr/bin/jwm_menu_create_template
make it executable and run it.
A file named jwm will be created containing instructions about how to get translated jwm menu.

[quote="icake"]I am making new Chinese Language pets for fatdog64 630rc2 and runs into this challenge:

1. the starting menu at the lower left hand corner of the screen shows a fatdog logo with the word "Menu"
2. I think this is controlled by /etc/xdg/razor/razor-panel/panel.conf 2nd section [mainmenu] line 3:
English version: text=Menu
3. when I changed the above line to Chinese:
text=

Menu (icon only) > Restartx
will simulate new internationalized Fatdog64
At the moment there is a choice just between English and German

Create a fatdog.mo for your language
(share it) and
the initial choice will grow by one

Have fun and a Happy New Year

... and a special thank to Bert. Without him I would have never been always using de_BE ! This made me detect a big bug in razor's internationalization (example: they use de_DE and no de )
..anyway it is fixed now (and not for de only)
