he Puppy-desktop NLS(Native Language Support) syslem gives native language support to the labels of the desktop icon and the menu.
May works on any Puppy-4.x/5.x. Currently it supports JWM and IceWM as for the menu.

The puppy-desktop as the 'base' is already built in LupQ-511 and Wary-500 Japanese edition.
Others need to install the 'puppy-desktop' package as the 'base'.
The 'base' has the menu translations of some language built in.
Additional 'lang_pack' is required for the label of desktop icons.

puppy-desktop-20110101.pet is available here.
petget-20110211.pet, available at the same place, is also recommended to avoid the menu labels reverted to English when installed.removed packages.

The 'lang_pack' for some languages available at the lucid official repository.
Or, form here.

Or, the collection of .mo and .po files: puppy-desktop_NLS-20110103.pet here.
Available languages:
See the link of the 'lang_pack' above.
As for the label of the desktop icons. currently available for only several languages, german, spanish, french, hungarian, japanese, dutch and russian.

The menu labels may reverted to the English after using the Puppy Package Manager, or the Upgrade X drivers.

You can repair the labels by running Menu>Desktop>Refresh Desktop.
The Refresh Desktop also does re-align the drive icons on the desktop.
(The 'Refresh Desktop' is contained in the puppy-desktop package above.)

Or, install dotpup_i18n version to avoid the menu label reverted to English.

Some part is using gettext.
There is the .pot file at /usr/share/doc/nls/puppy-desktop/puppy-desktop.pot.
You can make the translation using poedit or similar tools.
poedit-1.4.2-3-i686.pet is available here.

Another menu labels at /usr/share/desktop-directories.
See the another topic:Translate LupQ - Quickset edition of Lucid Puppy

Hello,
Using poedit, I tried to complete the translation of the file /usr/share/doc/nls/pup_event/fr.po to create /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/pup_event.mo
But this does not work : the translation FR is not available (when all menus and local are in French ).
Why?

[shinobar]

Merci ASRI.
The pup_event.mo only works on the Quickset Wary.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=63503
Confirmed your pup_event.mo works on wary-511-01q and will be containd next lang_pack_fr.

Or, replace next files by the ones extracted from the wary-511-01q.
/sbin/clean_desk_icons
/sbin/pup_event_frontend_d
/usr/sbin/eventmanager

[ASRI éducation]

Shinobar, thank you for these explanations/solutions.
By adding wary-511-01Q files to Lucid525, the. pup_event.mo is ok.

Together, charlie6 (I thank) proposed a slight modification in the translation.
This change is incorporated in .po/.mo proposed today, so now files are OK for the next lang_pack_fr.

My future research:
- translate the file pup_save Shinobar (I soon finished)
- understanding why the pmount of Lucid525 does not accept .mo fr

Regards,
