Salix Forums

Hi, having finished the new bootmenu, for now at least, what's still missing is the localisation.
I think the english strings are OK like that, but if you want one changed it's probably a good idea to inform me soon, so we don't have to recreate the translations.

I couldn't use gettext so far (it might come in the future for grub2, some parts already got it in their bzr tree), so I gotta explain the localisation a bit.
You can find the locale files here: http://gaia.homelinux.org/salix/livegru ... ub/locale/
All files needed to build (including all locales): http://gaia.homelinux.org/salix/livegrub2/build.tar.bz2
The default is en_US(.cfg).
To localize just download <your locale>.cfg and en_US.cfg, it's probably easiest if you copy all the missing strings (they're actually bash variables) from en_US to <your locale>. For new translations, for which no locale file exists yet, just create one named <your locale>.cfg and copy all the strings from en_US over and translate them.
Also, watch out that you don't miss modified strings, where the translation isn't any more up-to-date!


I'll show it with one string:
en_US.cfg contains (amongst others): I want to create a french translation. So I download the fr_FR.utf8.cfg (if it didn't exist I'd just start from scratch creating that file). Then I open it with a editor and paste the line from en_US to it: Now I can change it to the correct (I hope it is ) french translation:
I already finished de_DE, you might want to look at it.
Once you're finished too, just pass the file on to me somehow. I'm looking forward to many great translations.

German translation looks good

i have translated it to Japanese. I cannot upload the file to my user account right now. Could you please cut and paste the followings:

Many thanks

I have uploaded the french one.

No problem, thanks a lot.

I added it, don't have svn access yet so svn is outdated still (gapan, thenktor, akuna that's meant for you, please, give me svn commit access ).

We changed one string, please update it, if necessary:
set Lcheatcode="Change boot options"
