Get involved in the i18n!

Right now I have prepared a new chart. Now, one need only look to see how we do things with i18n. To be honest, not very good.

So I inviting to work those who are already engaged in translation for the project SliTaz and those who are only just thinking about it.

Welcome our Internationalization page!

[attachment=11806,550]

Here you can see:

for any sub-projects which languages ​​are already available translations and their progress;

does the documentation translated into your language;

additionally you can view the menu files (with the extension [c].desktop[/c]) and add your own translation.

PS. @shruken, I have not forgotten about you.

Re: Get involved in the i18n!

Here is some more great info from alexsej that he compiled into a tutorial in irc channel for slitaz on freenode.net, slightly modified to fit this forum reply:

lexeii | Can you copy-paste my next answer to our Latvian friend, and I'll gone?

ccssnet | ok

lexeii |

1. Install 'glibc-locale' package.

2. Generate locale in Tazpanel by following this url:

http://tazpanel:82/settings.cgi?gen_locale=lv_LV

3. Log out and log in.

4. Open terminal and type:

setxkbmap -layout "us,ru,lv" -option "grp:lwin_toggle,compose:ralt"

5. Now you can switch keyboard layouts by pressing and releasing left windows key, and you have compose key -- right alt.

6. Open text editor and try to type: hold 'compose' key while pressing 's' key and you get ' ', and so on.

Command setxkblayout... can be added to 'Menu - Preferences - Auto started applications'

ccssnet | on US keyboard.. what is compose key?

lexeii | There is no compose key by default. You want to define it.

ccssnet | o, ok

lexeii | typing: setxkbmap -option "compose:ralt" will define 'right alt' as 'compose' key. There are more variants:

lexeii | cat /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst | grep 'compose:'

Re: Get involved in the i18n!

I fixed the layout of the previous post. Should be easier to read now.

Re: Get involved in the i18n!

@Trixar_za, this post has been written originally in the scn forum: http://scn.slitaz.org/groups/i18n/forum/topic/get-involved-in-the-18n/

And it was look fine there (btw, now too).

This is a difference between the forums that I don't like...

Offtopic: my Nimrod code has been rewritten and it works completely like a charm. I need a day or two before announce it, so, please, be patient...

Re: Get involved in the i18n!

Thank you for this explanation.

Is it possible to show a small icon in menu bar or panel bar to switch the layout as well?

Thank you again!
