The binary of acroread 8.1.2 is always exactly the same for all languages (somebody from Adobe confirmed this). And I already packaged the CJK fonts and cmaps: acroread-fonts-zh_TW-8.1.2-14 acroread-fonts-zh_CN-8.1.2-14 acroread-fonts-ja-8.1.2-14 acroread-fonts-ko-8.1.2-14 acroread-8.1.2-20 acroread-cmaps-8.1.2-14 Doing more than this is not as easy as it seems to be at first glance. For example, even the start script /usr/bin/acroread contains translations but always only for a single language. I.e. even the startscripts /usr/bin/acroread from the different language versions already conflict and need to be merged. It would make it much easier for us if Adobe were a bit more responsive and helpful in fixing things like that. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Then would have to find out myself which files are added different languages and package them into small language specific addons. Having to find this out myself is quite error prone, it would be far easier if Adobe offered already *small* tarballs with language specifed addons. And in some cases there are even files which conflict between the different language tarballs, for example the start scripts apparently already contain translations but only for the language of the acroread tar ball for that language, thus conflicting with the start scripts used for other languages. I think these different start scripts should be merged into a generic start script to be used for *all* languages. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

What I did as solution: Visit German Adobe homepage and install from there.

Adobe knows about this problem, an Adobe employee is even in the CC: of this but and I hope that the problem will be addressed in a future upstream release of acroread. In the meantime, do you really want no acroread at all on a French installation rather than an English one?? Then I will get bug reports complaining that acroread is not installed and all the free pdf readers cannot display a certain document which can only be displayed correctly by acroread. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
