language pack

#16 Post by s-kami »

I have found a link:

http://mirror.yandex.ru/puppyrus/puppy/ ... pm_2_ru-1/

It would be a good base to creating a similar pack for PuppyRus-A.

Some scripts originally written in Russian.

In the future, if possible we will try to become the English system by simply specifying the locale en_US

No it`s langpack for Tahr Puppy, not for PuppyRus-A
What I don't like, though is their isolationism. Just don't understand it. And it's not a matter of their English being not fluent enough, there's something else to it. I don't know what exaclty, though. Maybe, they are protective about their work, something they don't want to share, I don't know.

:D Hello,
Figured out the pfs thing right off.
But thanks for the last link!
8) that will be helpful...
Many guis have multiple choice buttons, and I'm not having much luck guessing. ;-)
But, as I said @ the Puppy Linux Users Group on Facebook (please join) its like a challenging game.
I know the Puppy structure, and that helps.
Once I found the Terminal.
:D

to translate in our native language

#21 Post by Pelo »

the main problem for most of us is to translate in our native language, all day long, even russian, magyar, sometimes japanese (where light puppies are issued )
Skamilinux will help you
Try a chinese Puppy, puppyluvr (mapis). You shall see that it's not so difficult to use Puppy, without knowing the language. Icons help you, and usr share applications will provide in english the starting point (never translated there)

I didn't know Google can translate whole web pages. Here's how it understands PRA wiki:
http://wiki.puppyrus.org/puppyrus/pra
https://translate.google.com/translate? ... ra&act=url

@ Pro,
when I started playing with PRA it offered all 3 levels:

1. Game
2. Middle
3. Base (praXX-YYMM.iso)

Your wiki now says only the first 2 options are available :( Does this mean, PRA becomes a little bit fatter, than it used to be? Is this a final decision? Can you, please clarify this for me? And really not important, but I wouldn't use the word "Middle" in the name of ISO (немного кор

Did a download... tried the usual "cheat boot" with just dashing all files from iso and the a treat it with a round of Grub4Dos... And it would not be found...

So i messed up the files and it booted. Extremely fast I must say. Possibly the fastest I have seen since I tested Soluz. And that was fast, but just from USB for some reason.

But congrats... Must be at least the most fast 32bits, if not the fastest puppy in town.

How to localize:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/locale
https://wiki.debian.org/Locale
https://wiki.debian.org/ChangeLanguage

(Big and Trustworthy) Brother Google continues to do an awesome translating job:
http://wiki.puppyrus.org/programming/intern
https://translate.google.com/translate? ... t=&act=url

Changing a locale is a trivial task. In my own (very outdated, as it turns out) install, I just had to issue a command in the terminal. I found that command in Arch wiki. However, the problem is, most of the GUI dialogs will stay unaffected - they will continue to talk to you in Russian. Because, all those dialogs are localized apps. They have nothing to do with the system locale. When it comes to localizing a distro, being language savvy isn't enough - you don't even have to be language savvy! All that's needed is some understanding of coding. So, if we want PRA to be usable outside Russia, then we will need either to convince its developers to stop their current work and refocus on porting PRA back into en_US. Or, find an outsider for the job ... or learn Russian and unconditionally and irrevocably accept it as your native language.

just wondering... Is this a true puppy linux or is it a bit more like DebianDog that is not really a puppy, but somehow fits into the family anyhow...

It looks far from Puppy to me. Not that I could understand much due to my lack of Russian language.

I guess the main question is...

Is it built from Woof?

It looks to me as a hybrid of Arch and Solus, but its hard to say as its still @greek@ to me.

downloaded pra03_en-1603middle3 iso, installed to a usb using rufus. installed pysol, using pcman gui. can't read russian so taking things slowly. managed to guess my way to creating a save file and it's working across boots. posting from it. can't fix the clock setting, it only list asia and europe. fast and stable. put devx and a spider game module in appropriate folders and they load up fine. like what you've done :D gonna be using it for the next few days.

No, it isn't built from Woof. However, PRA is a very much Puppy-like distro. A couple posts above there's a link to Google translated PRA wiki, I think it explains PRA's background and origins. At least it tries to explain :)

the next version will be released in late April, and I think that the translation will be better.

In any case, the translate will have less than if the English to Russian
