Internationalization of Fatdog64-700b2

[L18L]

home and all faqs internationalized now.

Sort of Help for Fatdog

You should already have loaded:
fd64-nls_700b2.sfs
(see http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=96179 )


web server mongoose is launched at start of X
localhost:8080 will launch Fatdog's home page
from there you can navigate to faqs...



Translate:

create fatdoghelp.pot:

cd (usr/share/doc
xgettext -L shell --keyword=_ -o fatdoghelp.pot template_top home.html `ls faqs/*.html`

number of messages counted:
# grep -c msgid fatdoghelp.pot
1532
#


msginit # will create ${LANG%%_*}.po file for fatdoghelp

translate them using geany and then format the messages by:

msgfmt ${LANG%%_*}.po -o /usr/share/locale/${LANG%%_*}/LC_MESSAGES/fatdoghelp.mo

...and you can have


home.html and faqs

in your language (and hopefully soon in some other already translated languages)

Note, a translated doc is only counted as translation if translated title is different from English title



Enjoy

EDIT
Size large, too large?
Partially translated German translation fatdoghelp.mo.
fatdoghelp.mo has 520 messages translated and is 83 K large for now.
All 1532 translated would make about 250K.
exiv2.mo - 249K
gimp.mo - 275 K
vlc.mo - 610 K

Here is a small improvement:
2 levels only because all is UTF-8 only, no need to choose it.

Change /usr/sbin/fatdog-choose-locale.sh:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/ash
# choose locale for user

# 2014-01 L18L - localisation
#141202 omit territory in dialog, ex: German Germany. Now just: German de_DE.UTF - German locale for Germany

export TEXTDOMAIN=fatdog
,

,
	rm -rf $WORKDIR	
	
	# generate Xdialog strings
#	supported_locales > $CACHE_FILE                                 #141202
	supported_locales | grep -v '1$' | sed 's/2$/1/'  > $CACHE_FILE #141202
	kill $XPID
}

### main ###

mkdir -p $FIXED_LOCALES_DIR; build_cache

multimedia keyboard daemon

sven.pot created from source by:

Code: Select all

xgettext --keyword=_ --keyword=N_  -o sven.pot `find ./ -name *.c`

Will appear in /usr/share/doc/nls/sven thus can be translated using special (fatdog) momanager from http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 287#810287.

Shutdown
No idea how to localize these items
Help needed.

Maybe you have another solution...
But here is how I have got it done...

Expand attached spot/add_to_fd65-700b2-NLS-4 to /
fatdog-choose-locale.sh will enable you to choose another locale
and switch to it without RestartX.

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

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)
