geany was sufficient for me.
now I will take nicoedit

Edit:
just if you do not want poedit because of its size.
use msgfmt (in devx) to create .mo files.
I have done it this way

Edit: No devx available?
use attached msgfmt

Bonjour à tous,

Bonjour à tous,
Sorry for the late reply, I had difficulties to burn lupuq506.
I see no problem in displaying menus with accents using icewm.
It does not seem any necessary changes.
Cordialement

Bonjour à tous,
And it seems it doesn't support the locale for the menu. Even if I launch the refreshment of the menu.
This is curious, because I translated all the branches of the menu and submenus are displayed in French.

Thanks esmourguit.

à propos, the Hungarian LupQ base on lupq-006, Lupq-006-hu-01.iso, is available. http://puppylinux.hu/
The Hungarian translates the IceWM, but cannnot switch by the other locale.

Give me a time on IceWM translation based on the new desktop translating system. The first issue is the IceWM is removed on LupQ-507

It is reported that the console can not display accented letters on Magyar Lucid Puppy 5.1, Lupq-006-hu-01.
It is because of the locale problem. Lupq-006-hu-01 uses its locale as 'hu_HU.utf8'.
Most of puppies and woof uses '.utf8' for the UTF-8 encoding locales.
But '.utf8' makes trouble with some X application like urxvt.
The recommended unicode locale on LupQ is not '.utf8' but '.UTF-8'.

If you are using Lupq-006-hu-01, edit /etc/profile and find 'LANG=hu_HU.utf8' and change it to

The matter of the console (without X).
I am not sure on the older version, but most of puppies cannot display non-ASCII letters on the console.
Recent puppies have the console fonts at /lib/consolefonts, lat1-12.psfu.gz for ISO-8859-1 and lat2-12.psfu.gz for ISO-8859-2.
But they seem not work.
Try:

Attached /usr/local/bin/fix_menus_on_locale trial version.
Test it on the LupQ-507, with icewm-1.3.7pre2-lupq.pet available from here.

It converts the encoding when the locale is of ISO-8859-1/2. Do not convert in fixmenus.

@all who like to use lokalized package descriptions

activate the hidden feature of PPM i18n
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=448544#448544

see attached screenshot

package descriptions
# from puppy-quirky-official
# puppy-woof-official
# puppy-5-official
# puppy-4-official
# t2-8.0rc-official
# sort --unique
# puppy-lucid-official (appended 2010-09-06)

can be translated and now used in lucid-official
(package_descr.pot for reference in attached package_descr_i18n.tar.gz)

Note 1: the original descriptions of Barry´s databases are not changed, the translation process is just an addition!

Note 2: It does not make very much sense to translate each and every description, you do not want to disappoint your "native language only" users too much. If the package cannot be used without understanding English, then I think it is better to NOT translate the package description.

Note 3: Have you yet noticed the "description: more info" button appearing with repo:ubuntu ?

feedback appreciated

Hola,

sinceramente tiene menos español que 4.3.1.

aunque este locales para 4.3.1 se puede utilizar en v5.

seguiré usando mi lengua materna, no me gusta otro lengua que no sea español.

por lo tanto seguiré en 4.3.1 en español + locales

gracias por intentarlo.
saludos
