ngettext is also very useful, especially if there is more than 1 plural form in a language.

For your information:
I am now working on improved auto NLS loading system.
The key issue is loading extra sfs files on-the-fly.
I will upload the new designed sfs loader in couple of days.

sorry for being too cryptic
DISTRO_COMPAT_VERSION of "lucid puppy"

for the .pet:
It was my first one.
I will make a better one if more languages (ja) available
renaming to manpages_NLS (without de)
and dependency of man

success
thank you

I have made new designed on-the-fly SFS loader.
Visit the topic:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=64354

It will be the important item for loading a large lang_pack in sfs,
even with the live cd without pupsave.

Needs your test and feed back.

Hi shinobar,

wondering on the cups-interface: after installing the german language-pack printer sides are corrupted. Force an english output, it is well.

Maybe the cups-templates including in the lang-pack are not complete?

Did recompile (./configure parameters?) but after installing no change...

Although it deleted my google-earth I have made a translation for it. I noticed that line "Updating menu" is not gettexted.
And one more file for russian langpack. It's not gettext-file, it's a text file.

Hi,

not happy with (Multilingual) Wary 5 and its Xorg 7.3: in original Wary and also with Firstrun-Wizard, ATI driver in this Radeon is slow for me on my Thinkpad T60, especially in Seamonkey/Firefox, the graphic speed slows down, many sides are not usable for me, application windows often seems frozen, no reaction.

So, I took Barry's upgrade to Xorg 7.5, this driver runs perfectly.

But with or without it: every Startup in (Multilingual) Wary 5 comes up with resolution 1280x1024 and NOT 1400x1050.

Exit to prompt, running xorgwizard, then xwin: resolution is okay. But inside start scripts, anywhere a (ddcprobe?) xorg.conf-file is generated including only resolution 1280x1024 and THIS is taken by xwin.

ddcprobe gives this and the Thinkpad T60-TFT works normally with 1400x1050:

Looking on the scripts, I don't know why it happens changing every time to only 1280x1024.

Anybody else?

If @Mave is correct, sound like next Wary should benefit. It is rumored that next Wary will have latest Xorg 7.5. Is there a beta or RC available now or is there a test Wary-NLS that already has this somewhere?

[shinobar]

Wary-500m07 is out. See the top of this topic

The download size is 216MB.
The reason of this large is the 112MB additional language packages.
The lang_pack_all_0.1-w5.sfs is 76MB large, supports 100 languages.
The core 104MB is loaded plus only needed language pack is loaded at the boot up.
This system is realized thanks to the sfs_load on-the-fly technique. But I suppose next rerease is better to remove the lang_pack_all from the iso to make it smaller.
The Wary-500m07 has many fixes and updates almost the same as the Barry's Wary-501beta.

CHANGES:

• Improved initrd loads extra SFS's in the order written at the BOOTCONFIG
  
• New sfs_load on-the-fly-0.4.
