Using Bablefish
http://babelfish.altavista.com
was able to make rudimentary pages in French German and Spanish
See the links here
http://www.goosee.com/puppy/wikka/PuppyLinuxMainPage
and if you speak these language (the translations are no doubt only the gist) or would like to add another . . .
- hey Puppy goes International . . .
Puppy Power!

looks more like babel than like babelfish.
I'm a native german speeker and understand more in the english version.
I go, and have a look on that in my very few spare time.
edit: This is hard work: I have to stop serveral times to dry my eyes and to take breath. Babelfish seems to be a great fun
Another question to that: (because I'm not a programmer):
How will this help to get puppy itselv german (or any other language).
I'm thinking to get my mom puppy, but like to have all puppy (inkluding applications) in german.
Yes

I agree, mclien, I definitely want my mother to use Puppy, she is a 70 something, very skilled web surfer, e-mail composer, IM and office tools user from argentina, and she won't go to heaven unless she quits using XP and joins the Puppy community.
Lobster, I'm available from now to translate to spanish as many Puppy aspects been possible to be translated. I don't know what translation plans the development team is considering, but I want to get involved on that.
Would anybody tell me where to find out about that matter?
Thank you.

eh you are our language development team . . . well for Spanish - though I believe others have also been kindly working on this?
As you have registered as a wiki user you have access to the menu
- Language support and any threads you can find or can be suggested might be of help
Good luck
Nope

Yes, someone has done (a good work with) the first page, I'm working on the FAQs.
Please have a look at the attached image, wiki doesn't allow me to edit the main page.

OK I see what has happened - only two registered users were able to edit the front page - my mistake thanks for pointing it out
Considerable effort has gone into making the front page
- Simple
Displayable without scrolling
Comprehensive
That is why it was locked to only two editors . . .
So minor edits are OK but think carefully before making more radical changes
I think it is OK now - post again if not
Hope it is working for you
Great to see our Spanish pages increasing

Yes, it's fine now. No worries, I won't change anything in the front page, except that "espagnuolo" for the right one
.
I sent you a private message, about a previous topic, to avoid extending this thread, have you seen it?
It's not about the help pages, but the actual Puppy software in a non-english language. Is there anything going on about that?

Do not know
The language support link on the wiki front page is all I know.
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/LanguageSupport
People translate or work on other language support and if I come across it - I stick it in the language support but I speak english (just about) so it is not of that much concern to me. Puppy was always geared towards being in English.
Those interested in other languages will need to organise and co-ordinate. Perhaps leave a comment for others to contact you (comments can be left on each page - or on the page in a variety of languages . . .
Not sure how best to advise you . . .
Maybe others can help?

Cool, that link you gave me is enough start point. Thanks!

I had a look at the link Lobster had provided but that doen't seem to be what I was looking for.
I wanted to know if something is being done to have Puppy Linux translated into other languages. I know that has a lot, if not only, to do with the individual applications (Sylpheed, etc.).
My interest about that, comes from two main reasons:
1 - Having Puppy translated into Spanish.
2 - What'd be the point of translating Puppy's Wiki pages into spanish if the actual Puppy couldn't work in spanish?
I don't mean only locales, because being able to type

Gee! I didn't mean to generate all of this excitement with my question, guys stop it! You are going to flood murga.org!

Not everyone shares the same interests - to find those interested in what you propose and organising is not easy.
You are already translating pages to Spanish. I would encourage that. We are spread quite thin. I would like to concentrate on development for Chinese and Eastern European languages and Japanese but I would also like to do loads of other stuff. I suggest you go as far as you can and keep an eye on the languages page and PM those who are also translating (you will have to look at the old wiki). Sorry translation is not one of my priorities, despite the fact it is very beneficial to Puppy . . .
Maybe someone can offer you encouragement?

I'm interested in joining any effort (or to start it if necessary) in order to make Puppy Linux fully i18n.
Any comments, references, advices, discouragements, etc., please?
Hi isn'tfunny.
A small idea that might work in translating to Spanish at least. Rather than starting over, so to speak, by translating Puppy from English to Spanish, why not get another distro that has already been translated into other languages, and cut out those items that Puppy doesn't have or use from the Spanish area, then modify the Spanish items to fit the Puppy equivalent. I think that Ubuntu and Knoppix would be good bets getting started. It would seem that this would cut the time required quite a bit.
I could pass around copies of Puppy that you have translated here in Costa Rica to friends and family for feedback if you like.
I would just have to know where to go to download the copy in Spanish.

Hi Dewdrop,
Today I managed to give Puppy room in a 14Gb partition, and I started to have a look at the whole. I'm new to linux.
There are lot of things I'd like to customize, but I'm still finding my way to linux (I wasted a lot of time programming for Windows...)
Luckily Puppy is friendly and more predictable (intuitive) than other linuxes I tried before.
So hopefully I'll be doing a lot of work for Puppy, but it will take time until I get used to Linux, Puppy, X11, compilers, etc.
Thanks for your offer and suggestion! (I'll have a look at how other distros have done it).

Hi OzzyBB and isntfunny.
I plan to post this on both threads since it appears that you 2 don't know or realize that the other one is also working to get Puppy into Spanish.

I placed the below code in "" "" (because it is HTML) on the languages page of the wiki
It did not quite work - I got the flags and it was better than the first two translators that I tried from this page . . .

Maybe someone else will have better luck

Hi Lobster,
You want to put those flags, where? In the
main page instead of the language names?

In the meantime I was playing with it.
This is Puppy wiki's main page translated into spanish:

... gee, doesn't look as a good translation! (I'd run away in confusion!)
