newsSimplified translation for EasyPup
I have posted previously about internationalization of EasyPup:
https://bkhome.org/news/202002/files-that-transform-easyos-to-easypup.html
And:
https://bkhome.org/news/202002/international-translation-of-easypup.html
Those posts are now superseded.
What I have now done, is any gettext'ed script that is different in
EasyPup, from EasyOS, or not in EasyOS, has a TEXTDOMAIN prefixed with
"pup_". For example, /usr/sbin/mscw in EasyOS has TEXTDOMAIN=mscw, while in EasyPup the script has TEXTDOMAIN=pup_mscw.
This has two enormous advantages. Firstly, a single "langpack" PET
can have all translations for both EasyOS and EasyPup. Secondly, you
will know at a glance which scripts are different or unique in EasyPup
compared with EasyOS.
These are scripts from EasyOS that have had occurrences of "EasyOS"
and "Easy" in gettexted strings replaced with "Puppy". The TEXTDOMAIN of
these scripts has been modified, with "pup_" prepended:
| File |
TEXTDOMAIN |
| /usr/sbin/pmount |
pup_pupmount |
| /usr/sbin/easydd |
pup_easydd |
| /usr/sbin/quicksetup |
pup_quicksetup |
| /usr/sbin/firewall_ng |
pup_firewall_ng |
| /usr/sbin/mscw |
pup_mscw |
| /usr/sbin/doc-launcher.sh |
pup_doclauncher |
| /usr/sbin/remove_builtin |
pup_remove_builtin |
| /usr/sbin/loginmanager |
pup_loginmanager |
| /usr/local/petget/configure.sh |
pup_petget__configure.sh |
| /usr/bin/xwin |
pup_xwin |
These are scripts in EasyPup that are either complete replacements
for those in EasyOS or do not exist in EasyOS. Again, they all have
"pup_" prepended:
| File |
TEXTDOMAIN |
| /usr/share/doc/easy/welcome.sh |
pup_easyhelp |
| /usr/share/doc/easy/help.sh |
pup_easyhelp |
| /usr/share/doc/easy/home.sh |
pup_easyhelp |
| /usr/sbin/bootmanager |
pup_bootmanager |
| /usr/sbin/bootflash |
pup_bootflash |
| /usr/sbin/shutdownconfig |
pup_shutdownconfig |
| /usr/sbin/savesession-dvd |
pup_savesession-dvd |
| /usr/sbin/resizepfile.sh |
pup_resizepfile.sh |
| /usr/sbin/puppyinstaller |
pup_puppyinstaller |
| /usr/sbin/remasterpup2 |
pup_remasterpup2x |
| /usr/sbin/delayedrun |
pup_delayedrun |
| /usr/sbin/dotpup |
pup_dotpup |
| /usr/sbin/snapmergepuppy |
pup_snapmergepuppy |
| /usr/sbin/sfsget |
pup_sfsget |
| /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown |
pup_rc.shutdown |
I have updated L18L's 'de' and esmourguit's 'fr' langpacks, though
both have some of the above still not translated. They could probably
check that out at the next release of EasyPup.
Note, esmourguit recently sent me some updates for his 'fr' langpack, that I have also applied.
Technical notes
A technical note about how the scripts in the first table are created...
In woofQ there is a script puppy/7build-puppy-cd, that converts
EasyOS to EasyPup. One of the things it does is scan all of the
gettext'ed scripts in EasyOS (in rootfs-skeleton folder), and replaces
occurrences of "EasyOS" and "Easy" with "Puppy". Any scripts found that
have this fix, also have "pup_" prepended to its TEXTDOMAIN.
The replacements are achieved with some fairly simple sed commends:
sed -i -e 's%\(gettext [^)]*\)EasyOS%\1Puppy%g' rootfs-complete/${BASEPATH}
sed -i -e 's%\(gettext [^)]*\)Easy\([. ]\)%\1Puppy\2%g' rootfs-complete/${BASEPATH}
sed -i -e 's%^export TEXTDOMAIN=\([^ ]*\)%export TEXTDOMAIN=pup_\1%' rootfs-complete/${BASEPATH}
...that's for anyone who is interested in the code. You would need to
examine the complete 7build-puppy-cd script to see how it is done
correctly in context.
