Quickpet 2.1.8 and 2.1.9 are running fine in French but Puppy's icon is on the middle not on the left and the word 'dans' (bienvenue dans Puppy's Quickpet ) is missing....

[01micko]

Tasgarth

Merci!

(Sorry but that is my French vocabulary)

I have fixed the formatting problem, It should be ok for all locales. I also made symlinks to fr_BE, fr_CH, fr_CA . I added "dans", so now it looks like "Bienvenue dans Puppy's Quickpet", although I might remove "Puppy's" in Iguleder's advice as there is a bidi problem. And true, we all know it's Puppy, er BIG logo right there reminding us! So it will be "Bienvenue dans Quickpet". Does that still make sense? (Not done for screeny)

Ok, 2.1.10 is up. Iguleder, feel free to correct any stupid things I have done, like double spaces, silly capital letters. You can use lisense.

Cheers

Dutch translation of "en_US-2" .
Also cleaned up the Dutch text a bit.
Testers and proofreaders still welcome!

Great idea micko to use symlinks for the language variants!

I think Iguleder is right about removing "Puppy's" from the title.

Looking forward to Quickpet 3.0

[Iguleder]

Here it is, the Hebrew localization. Now it's perfect.

Another thing I still need to do are some cleaning to the en_US locale. I'll handle that this weekend maybe.

Also, I've noticed the help menu has "SFS" appended in the first entry. And ... if you enlarge the window, you get some blank space on the bottom ... mmm ... not very elegant. Maybe it's a gtkdialog limitation or something ... I think you should disable window resize, if it's possible.

By the way: the "Puppy's" should be removed not for BiDi problems ... just because it's weird to show a huge logo and state it's Puppy ... I think it's safe to assume the user has a minimal amount of intelligence


EDIT: 01micko, I have a great idea. Is it possible to put the sizes (X MB/Y KB) in separate labels and align them to the right, near the icons? This can save lots of problems when new versions of Quickpet come out, no need to localize sizes. And a big plus, it solves the BiDi issues. And saves size.

ANOTHER EDIT: and the names in separate labels on the left.

[Iguleder]

By the way, add detection of missing /root/.quickpet/Downloads, noticed this just now

EDIT:

The cleaning code deletes the directory with its contents - line 456:

01micko :
Quickpets v2.1.10 (fr_FR): OK
Thanks

About text :
1) Are they missing two $LOC_xxx ? See :
Fichier > 'répertoire de télechargement'
and Fichier > 'Effacer les logiciels'
It's in English language.
Perhaps it would be better delete their english texts ?

2) Menu >> Drivers
and
menu >> More pets >> Readme
(Menu >> Plus de Pets >> Avant Propos)
The texts are on the right or on the 'center'. Is it possible to get them on the left (justify=3) ?

3) → I Also rectified my 2 typing errors. => fr_FR-2.tar.gz

4) It would be better nice put 'quitter' ('quit') at the end ?
Menu : Fichier / Préférences :/ Répertoire du téléchargement / Effacer les logiciels téléchargés / Quitter
(Menu : File/Download Directory/Clear downloaded Packages/Quit )

Again Thanks for your work.

Updated with thanks to 01micko,

now killing/erasing the splash in a later calling of gtkdialog-splash -kill PID.

And: different splash screens (for security, maybe more applications using it at the same time) are managed, see syntax and example.

************************
Hi,

here is a small script gtkdialog-splash for me using with a symlink named as yaf-splash. Seems to run like the original called within the Puppy scripts (no warranty!), ignoring most of its original options.

In Lucid (not 4.x) international characters seems to be working. Additional: -icon gtk.-xxx shows one of the gtk-stock-objects.

Maybe helpful for somebody


Example:

Thanks for the update. I will rectify the missing LOC_xxx files. There are obviously some I missed .

mave

Interesting work with the splash there. I will look at your code.

+++++++++++++++++++

The next version will be out over the weekend.

Thank you all for your support.

Cheers

Hi Mick and translators,

2.1.10 is looking good.

A couple of things today;

1. I removed the unneeded capitals from the pets lists, added a comma between the Pet names and the descriptions, to improve readability.
Better would be to make the names bold or "header" and separate them to the left like Iguleder proposed. If at all possible of course

2. I can confirm what Tasgarth found: the pop-up above "clear downloaded packages" is not in the localization file (en_US).

3. Thinking about Quickpet, it suddenly dawned on me that we're creating a funny situation, by localizing a tool that only points to English-only pets...
I do realize this is unavoidable at the moment and that this is a transition period for Puppy in general.
But what about the near future? It is highly probable Petmakers will arise in many countries, offering localized pets. To what repos will these Pets be uploaded and how will Quickpet be able to find the correct one for the user's locale?

Have a nice weekend!

EDIT: Mick, you posted while I was typing. Forget about point two!
