Installed latest retrovol-0.12.pet from
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=50744
which has included French (thanks to Argolance ) and German mo files.
In momanager there is no chance to edit or include it into langpack.
retrovol is a binary executable.
jwm is also a binary executable but it is handled by momanager.

Maybe because retrovol uses /usr/local/share .... ?

Racy5.2.2.7 Subject description: testing xwin international |

Thanks to rodin.s we have also xwin internationalized.
Really very important messages!
Returning from X the first character in console is displaying just as 1 question mark.
in xwin line 547 rodin.s wrote: | #unicode_start #i18n rodin.s for unicode start after exit from X. ??????what is this?????? |
After some trials I have found the solution:
font has to be set again
Tested succesfully (just for 1 font ) by inserting
xwin line 548:
Code: | zcat /lib/consolefonts/LatGrkCyr-8x16.psfu.gz | loadfont # !!! a solution |

This Racy with internationalization changes seems to be great - thanks Barry!
Did updates from 5.2.2.6 to 5.2.2.3 on three machines. Every time german localization of desktop-icons falled back to english (menu entries okay).
Can't see why...

No problem, retrovol is now managed by MoManager, you need to get retrovol.pot from here:

Does it  |
However, does the font only need to be reloaded when the locale has been changed?
At first boot, locale will be en_US, then you use QuickSetup to change the locale. Then, when you exit from X, the correct font will not be loaded.
However, after having created a save-file, after reboot, the correct console font will be loaded, so at exit from X, it should not need reloading?
Based on the above reasoning, I have modified xwin.

I have modified quicksetup to load correct console font if locale is changed. So, xwin should not need any change.
Will upload Woof soon.

I just did a test. Running 5.2.2.7, I changed to de_DE, then edited /etc/DISTRO_SPECS and changed the version back to 5.2.2.6, then rebooted.
After reboot, desktop icons are still 'de'.
Well, 5.2.2.6 and 5.2.2.3 are alpha releases, there must have been something odd in them that upset the version upgrade of the save-file.
Oh yes, there was, the SSS translation method changed.
Now that the SSS stuff has settled down, upgrading of save-file should be ok.

Wary/Racy 5.3beta1 (5.2.2.7) Subject description: vlc-2.0.0 sfs file |
|
I compiled and made a sfs file of vlc-2.0.0.
I tested it in the new racy-5.2.2.7 beta on a pc with a nvidia
graphics card and a netbook with ati hd4200 graphics.
The pc with the nvidia card needed at least the nouveau driver
installed, it works fine with the proprietary nvidia driver too.
The netbook with the ati hd4200 worked fine with the vesa driver or
the proprietary ati driver.
The vlc-2.0.0-i686-racy.sfs file also has the vlc_NLS-2.0.0-i686.pet
and the qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.0-i686.pet included in it.
This new 2.0.0 version has support for dvb but I haven't tested that.
It should work in recent racy and wary releases.
The download link is:
