I haven't added any translations yet, but the infrastructure is now there and will automatically fall back to en_TEchnosaurus

... but I did add a new item for 0.2 (see the teaser pic)

I got sick of waiting & waiting .... every time I wanted to change categories or distro repo .... so just added the whole damn thing to a jwm rootmenu
amazingly it runs (only once) in ~2.5s and after that it is as instant as navigating the regular menu
it does ALL repos, whereas PPM takes over 30s for just one distro and ~5s just to switch categories
... sorry it doesn't increase your download speed though

Thanks for having added the LANGUAGE thing

line 179 of jwm_menu_create should be now:
Name=*|Name?${myLANG}?=*) NAME="${LINE#*=}"'' ;;
until a better storage for translations is created.

TPM (TechnosaurusPackageManager) is looking very interesting

That is how the translations of NAME are stored in lang_pack's now

Easy to extract, but difficult input.
So I am hoping for TPM who will make all translations directly from .packages.

Borderline-genius-showoff... TS, while you're under the influence of cosmical wisdom-dust activity, you might try making a 15x faster JWM-menu-shaped Pmount replacement.

People who don't like multiple (or any) trays can play with the attached jwm_install_menu_create. Then run TS's jwm_menu_create v0.2 and activate the menu with middle mouse button (or change the script to respond to left button if you prefer).

For anyone who wants to play with it (or improve it):

something like this:

I should probably post this elsewhere, but anyway...

This little script will get google translations your .desktop files, based on the english "Name=" .. It should then put the new translation into the correct .desktop file, if no transltion was already found for your chosen language..

A folder /usr/share/applications/[lang] is created, look in there for all the translations...

I ran it a few times, for de, fr, es .. Seems to work OK for me, but I havent tested the 2nd loop, which actually adds them back in to the original .desktop files.. Running it now.. not the fastest script ever!

Optimization aside, it appears that Google translate skips capitalized words (as it should, grammatically it indicates a proper name) fortunately sed has a tolower function, but then there is a twist, usually the first word _is_ a proper name. Also the localized names follow name= alphabetically by locale, so doing the read while trick could help out.

Httpd may be able to fix some of those.... http -d .... there was a thread with a better method that zigbert started for pmusic lyrics.
